MANCHURIA NEXT FIELD FOR GREAT •WORLOSTRUGGLE Rich Section of China Huge Storehouse of Food Supplies. Bn United Press PEKIN, Dec. 10.—When China “breaks into the headlines" o f American and European newspapers, it is usually in connection with some spectacular happening involving a handful of foreigners or at most the embattled mercenaries of two nondescript Chinese generals. To experienced observers actually on the scene, however, the Important news of the Far East —and to considerable extent of the world —is the small trickle of information coming down from Manchuria. For Manchuria is the great world battlefield of the future, they are convinced. It is destined to be the scene of economic and political conflict involving millions of people. Quite possible it may bo the scene of military conflict as well—conflict beside which the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5, which was fought on this very soil, will seem like the mimic warfare of toy soldiers. Great Food (.'enter world must eat. Year by year ure world's food problems grow more acute. Manchuria is the great food-producing area of the Far East —an area on which cultivation has as yet little more than started, but an area which will be prized increasingly as the years pass. For centuries Manchuria has been

known as “the granary of Asia.” Some day it—with the great Siberian territory into which It runs and on whose transportation lines it has an Important geographical point of vantage—may well be known as “the granary of the world.” Such a place Is worth having and worth fighting to have. There has been ’fighting for Manchuria already; there Is concealed conflict aplenty at the present time; but the real con-

fllct looms In the future, at what date none can say. Manchuria’s full resources are even yet far from being fully realized. The ‘leased territory”—has wonderful possibilities as a fruitgrowing region, for example. Apples, pears, grapes and peaches flourish there. Cotton has been tried out with similar success, and the Manchurian Cotton Cultivation Association, formed by the Japarfpse in 1924, plans to bring about a harvest

The apple crop of the Leased Territory for 1925 was 8,460,000 pounds, by the way; the total crops of grains, vegetables and fruits for 1925 in this same Leased Territory (the only part of Manchuria where accurate figures can be had, due to Japanese system) reached 8,700,000 bushels, 102,000,000 pounds, and 8,700,000 pounds respectively. Seya Bean Valuable The tremendously important seya bean, one of the chief exports of South Manchuria, deserves a chapter In Itself. Bean oil, edible bean curd, bean cake for fertilizer and a score of other things might be mentioned In connection with this, and Japanese scientists are busy working out new usee. Wheat, coal, kaollan (a staple grain used In a variety of ways by the Manchurian natives) and wild silk are among other exports. All this may seem dull stuff; but whereas the wars of the past may have hinged on delicate points of national honor, the wars of the future are apt to hinge on Just such lists of foodstuffs and other commodltler from any given territory.
