Boston. entitled "What Japan is doing in Shantung." I will not read the entire editorial. It is worth while. however. to read it if anyone is interested in knowing how Japan is redelivering Shantung to China. After stating that Japan is seizing more firmly her hold upon Shantung. tile editorial says: She is doing it by intrenching herself not only in the German concession but everywhere throughout the peninsula. by securing control of vital railways. and mineral rights. by pouring Japanese immigrants into the country- and by. carrying on a campaignm of dispossession which has never been paralleled. not even by the Germans in Poland or the Hungarians in Transylvania. Lands. stores. garden plots. fishcries. salt works. orchards. to mention only a few instances at randori. business of all sorts everywhere have suddenly become Japanese. This has not been done by the crude method of open deprivation.
