JAPAN FACES PROBLEM

how to fet'd the population, which is
, increasing annually by 6(10,000, is be
coming yearly more pressing.
Japan has ample living space fo'
its people hut cannot produce enough
food for them, especially rice. Every
bit of land is cultivated to the limit of
its capacity. The land of Formosa, the
is and colony, is worked to its full ca
pacity bv the two million Chinese
farmers who cultivate the rice fields
with great skill. In Korea, also, the
harvest is considerable, though th«
failure of the Koreans to use feitiliz- |
er prevents greater harvests.
To meet the food menace Japan, by
a special arrangement with France, i;
making heavy rice imports from Indo
china. This is a costly operation, how
ever, the Japanese government losing
$20,Odd,000 last year in supplying ln
do China rice to the Japanese people
at a moderate price.
A solution to which the government ;
is turning its attention is that of in- |
ducing the people to eat less rice and
