JAPANE E LAN TO GRAB
ALL THADiLOF PACIFIC
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, In an attempt to
secure the major portion of the foreign
trade to all Pacific ocean shores, and
particularly that of the Pacific caost
of South America now enjoyed by the
United States and by European
countries, Japan is planning to rai3e
the standard of her exports so as to
attract buyers away from the goods
they heretofore have been receiveitig. i
The first step In this campaign, which,!
consular reports say, ha3 official sup
port of the Tokyo Government, is to be
a rigid Inspection of Japanese exports.
Under the system experts will be ap
pointed to inspect the exports of all
industries and permit no inferior
good3 to depart for foreign markets
from Japanese porta.
The Japanese believe they will be
especially successful in getting trade
which formerly has been enjoyed by
American exporters because, they
claim, American exports often are of
a low class. Consular report3 say
that the Japanese have found many
defects in goods Imported from this
country. It is stated that the Japan
ese Government recently condemned
and destroyed 4,000 cases of dynamite
imported from the United States be
cause the explosive did not come up
to the Government test. Also four
Americna marine motors exported to
Japan are reported to have broken
: down because of defective castings.
Apparently they had been given no
i unning tests before being shipped.it is
reported. One of the engines only ran
| twenty minutes.
1 Paper, Formaldehyde, steel articles,
! tartaric acid crystals, benzol, sheet
I glue, napht.halin and grey acetate of
| lime are among the American com
| modifies shipped to Japan which have
been found practically useless there
^ because of Inferior quality, according
to consular reports.
Japan Is profltting by this lesson, It
is stated, and believes she can get
American trade away from Americans
by correcting the mistakes she notices
in the American export trade. The
Department of Commerce says that
American exporters should be warned
and mend their ways unless they want
to see Japan draw from them some of
their best customers in the Orient

WASHINGTON. The marked de
crease in the number of wild birds,
continuous for many years has at last
been halted, T. Gilbert Yearson states
in his annual report as secretary of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties.
That more than a half million Am
erican school children have been
formed into clubs to protect and In
crease the number of feathered song
sters is ascribed as the main reason
for the happy condiltons of the song
bird tribes. Three million illustrated
pamphlets giving life histories of dif
J t’erent American birds have been dis

"If this association had never en
gaged In any line of eonsorvatoln ef
I fort other than its work with children
its Influence for good would still have
' been monumental,” the report states.
1 "Beginning with the school year of
1910-11 when we enrolled 10,695 chil
dren In bird study classes In the
' southern states, this organized effort
has spread with astonishing rapidity
to every state in the union.
“Each year has seen a marked in
crease over the previous year, both in
numbers of clubs formed and the
number of children enrolled. The past
year 9,901 such junior groups were
formed with a total paid membership
of 205,190. This is an Increase of '
mere than 63,000 over the number on ,
oiled the year befors. Sine
ception of this phrase of our work six
years ago, a total of 28,622 Junior
Audubon bird clubs have been formed j
and 572,081 children as regular Junior 1
mt mbers have been instructed in the
principles of the Audubon Socities.
"These bird clubs have held public
1 ird exhibitions. Riven various enter
tainments, established bird sanctuar
ies, fed birds in winter built und
erected multitudes of bird boxes, post
ed notices of bird and game laws,
libraries of bird books, conducted bird
walks, worked for state and national
legislation, organized scores of Junior
Audubon clubs and carried forward
many other Audubon activities."

WASHINGTON. The power of the
department of the interior to appraise
government-owned coal land through
out the country and to dispose of
them at their appraised value has

stead of the $70 per acre which the
government appraisers fixed as the
as the value of the lands In question.

to 1907 it had been the government’s
policy to dispose of all coal lands at
the minimum price, but that since
that time the actual value of all lansd
hag been demanded. She court's do
clsion affirming the lower court saved
