South, England, ( . Canada and Japan. The delegate from Japan said that the greatest word in Japan today is democratic'1. Japan is immensely vwealthy as a result of the war, but is using the "mbriey in" establishing 29 j new colleges and 10 new universities. .""They are felvipg 400 : scholarships to 'students In 'Japan and are sending 400 students to America and England to be educated.. These latter students receive their .. traveling expenses and $125 per month. Japan is confronted with four large problems: First, high' cost of living; second, labor difficulties; third, the .menace of bolshevisai ;and fourth, universal suffrage. There are 40,000,000 farmers in Japan and 18',000,000 depositors in sav- . ings banks.. The wealth of Japan is ..estimated to.be nine times what it was before the, war. Want Out of China The native ..stated that 90 per cent of the Japanese people want the Japanese to get out of Siberia and Shantung. Referring to the trouble in Korea, where so many mission churches wore destroyed, the miliiary commandant who was responsible was . withdrawn, reduced in rank and given a post in a remote part of Europe. Japan is endeavoring to make good the damages and has sent a new man who is favorable" to Christianity. What about war atrocities? In 1919 200 officers were needed and only 110 young men made application, and it was necessary to hold two examinations and reduce the qualifications befor tbe required number were obtained.
