DAILY EDITION. eS 9S 86 $7.50 SHANGHAI SITUATION COMMANDS ATTENTION. The expected entry' of Shanghai by the Cantonese has occurred. The situation is rife with grave possibilities and the eyes of the world are focussed on the great international seaport. Future developments will undoubtedly be largely governed by the action of the foreign interests. By meeting the situation with a strong military hand, things might be settled temporarily at least but it would be only temporary. The time is getting closer to armed intercession but the stage of negotiations has not yet passed. One thing Bure is that the sit uatio'n will not continue much longer as it is. It looks like a settlement or a light Before long. PACIFIC COAST IS INTERESTED. The Pacific coast, facing the Asiatic shores, has a special in Germany pare than two hundred years to evolve from the old' r.oman Empire to the modern republic. It will take China much longer to complete its process of recrystallization. The present distrubance may be merely one of a long series. TURNING YELLOW INTO RED. Sun Yat Sen, American-trained leader of the southern or Cantonese part of China, never i?ot very far with his project of uniting the country under his banner while he relied on Japanese support. After his death his successors accepted the aid of the astute Soviet leaders. Russian influence began to dominate Canton; it is still dominant, Russian guns and bullets became its equipment. And Russian advice brought about the ridiculous combination of two violently opposed issues, nationalism and communism, in the propaganda of the Cantonese! You can't be a communistand a patriot at "the same time because communism must breijk down' nationalistic boundary lines to succeed. The Russians know well enough that Chinese nationalism will hurt the cause of communism in the Far East, but if this Chinese nationalism can be turned against the British, if England can be further weakened by it, if it will help eventually to stir up revolution in India and thereby cause more unemployment in Lancashire, they will be content. They are using Chinese and Indian nationalism to strengthen the cause of communism in Great Britain. They forced a fake red mask on John Chinaman's yellow face in the hope of turning England red. So far the astute Soviet leaders seem to have succeeded remarkably. HESfLEl ill e finishing touch to tea or conee mM.

HH.MIV Mr. Brady: So much has been said regarding certain places wftere post offices are to be built that their names hare become historic during the last' few dsvs Let me mention another place that has not a post office build tog the large, thriving city of Prince Rupert.

China's awakening began more than a hundred years ago, when the guns of British frigates forced the Celestial Em pire to admit foreigners and opium, to grant concessions, to receive missionaries. Ever since then the Chinese giant has been stirring uneasily and ever" restless movement left a trail of blbod. Now he has one sleiiy eye partly open and he does not like that which j commodatlon in the same building. But It Is not by any means adequate for the purpose. One ot the governmenfi representatives front Victoria visited Prince Rupert while I wst there and after going through the building ex pressed the opinion that It wat neither ne sees. hygienic not suitable for the amount of For a century China has been slowly, very slowly, changing ibutiness handled.

It tookinJBbt- but unubt7 they should ttandpolnt of economy alone, of erecting a building at Prlnc eRupert adequate to handle the large volume ot government business that baa to be transacted there, rather than pay out every year 14,000 in rent for undesirable accommodation. In Smithera, a very promising town, the postal revenue tor 1928 was 14.854. and at Ocean Falls. KJ.S96. I think since other places have bad' so many successful advocates, Prince Rupert and those i hsv tiitn tloned are entitled to favorable coo slderatlon from the government. Mr. Fraser: I would like to ask the Postmaster General it he "has any report in regard to the necessity of a post office building In the town ot Prince George? Mr." Venlot! From memory I would say not. but there may be an appll cation on tile, t will look It up and let my hon. friend know. Mr. Fraser: I would point out the necessity of recommending to the Mln liter of Public Works an amount for a public building In the town ot Prince Oeorge. That town is very important community in the central part of British Columbia, with a population of about 2.500 people; and last year the postal revenue amounted to 117.412. notice mat in tne estimates many places are receiving substantial con slderatlon from this government which have neither the revenue nor the popu lation of Prince Oeorge. I asked that this be included In the estimates, last par and It was not done: I ask again that in view of the development likely to take place in the course of the next year, consideration be given to this request by the Mlnltter of Public Worka and the postal authorities. There It also an Inspector of customs at that point, and a very conslderr.ble revenue It derived In that way. There 11 also in my district the town of Sal nion Arm, with a population of be tween 1.200 and 1,600 whlcH produces a postal revenue of about 1(1,800. In ad dition to the postal and customs re venue at this point I would point out that there are officials of the Forestry branch of the Interior department tta tloned In that town; and the rentals paid for office quarters must be very considerable. I tuggest that It would be In the Interests of the government and would reduce expenditure by a very considerable amount to erect a public building of their own in that jtown and" "thereby give the necessary 'accommodation to the various- officiate stationed theri There U not an Item DDIMPE DITDEDT v mtatata riIlLtlUrijll t good enough V include them when, the supplementary estimate are prepared.

The bon. member for! Victoria (Mr. Tolmlei some years ago! very atrdtagly advocated an experimental farm for this particular part ot British Columbia, and I believe that the time hat now come in this country when the question of mixed fanning should receive more careful consideration. We have the great wheat fields ot the prairies provinces, but we must con sider the other great districts of Can ada which are perfectly adapted to, mixed farming, and the district to which I refer, should have an experimental farm, and the government should assist what la recognized to be a substantial forward movement in the development ot a great industry. When I beard the number . of advocates for public buildings I was nst enthusiastic, but I do feel that .when the question It one of national importance, concerning the wen-bMug of Canada, the voice of these people should be heard I and the government should be irm-1 pathetic.
