Lipsett Speaks to Rotary Club And Mentions Incidents During Visit to Australia The Japanese mode of living has a direct bearing on the ability of Japan to undercut other nations and thus secure business in almost every country, according to Edward Lipsett of Vancouver, head of tho firm bearing his name in this city who addressed the Prince Rupert Gyro Club yesterday on a recent trip to Australia by way of the Orient. He told of a mechanic with a family of fourteen children who was then being paid the sum of two yen a day. the yen being at that time worth 28 cents in Cana- , lian or United States money. He recalled that, during a trip to' South America, he found Japanese ;oods everywhere and Brazil had co place a surtax on Japanese products In order to protect their own manufacturers. Mr. Lipsett told of the trip across the Pacific on the Empress 0f Canada, the service on which was unsurpassed. A day was spent at Honolulu and calls were also made at Ypkohama, Kobe and shanghai. At Shanghai he and Mrs. Lipsett visited a Catholic home for orphan girls. While there a baby, only a few hours old, was brought in wrapped In a newspaper and was cared for by the sisters. The children were given a modern education and married off to Chinese workers. On the trip from Hong Kong to Singapore on a P. & O. vessel they had two thousand Chinese workers aboard, going to Shanghai to work In the rubber plantations on the Malay Peninsula. At Hong Kong, one of the beauty spots fOf the. trlp, they-vislted -the. Peak and looked down upon the British fleet below and this gave them a feeling of security which was very satisfying. At Singapore they met a number of former -friends., and were shown the enormous graving dock and floating drydock, the latter of which had become stuck in the Suez Canal on the way out from England. It was big enough to lift the Queen Mary. Java Beautiful Jdva proved to be an Interesting and beautiful island with fifty million inhabitants increasing at the I rate of half a million a year.

Travelling on a Dutch coasting ship the captain gave a dinner at o,nicn ne made a mteen-mlnute speech in excellent English and also addressed the French and Dutch passengers In their own language. He also spoke German and Malay. Going into Brisbane Mr. Lipsett was told by a lady resident who was returning on trie ship, that there" was nothing to see. However, he was driven around the city and .found it most Interesting Thev i had some fine gardens which riar- tlcularly pleased Mrs. Lipsett. It reminded them of other places where residents disparage their own home town. i The address proved most lnter-! esting and at the close President c; v Evltt thanked the visitor for ta? a"d exPrd the hope that he would come again.
