So far as can be ascertained from reading and from discussion with Japanese residents, the present government' represents largely the big commercial and landed, interests and that the army is supported by a large section of the people opposed' to the financiers who have found the military more nearly in line with modern progress than the financial interests. oBth the financiers and the army have a tendency toward Fascism, inheriting the traditional ideal that everything must be obtained by force of arms. Tagging on to both sides there seem to be a large mass of people who are not enthusiastic about either side. They are dissatisfied with the financial interests that keep them working for very low wages, so low that the country is able to undersell all others even though handicapped by a heavy duty on all manufactured articles they export There are also many supporters of the army leaders who see in that party a slight alleviation from their burdens but at the same time are not keen for war or for military domination. There is a tangled political web in Japan. If the radicals' had a leader the country might swing that W3y, but they have no outstanding leader and the ruling powers make sure that if they have one he shall not last long. Army and Navy Independent The army and navy in Japan are independent of the government to a large extent except that they have no power to levy taxes or in other ways raise money for up- keen. That means that every year they have to go to their parliament and ask for money through the responsible minister and this gives the elected representatives of the people the right to ask questions and criticize and even to retuseao vote money. . Orientals Curious In discussing anything having to do with Japan or China it must always be remembered that things are not what they seem. The Japanese will go through the mo tions just as they will carry out the ancient ceremonies without any idea that they have to be taken seriously. A resolution in parliament does not always mean what it seems to mean and a law may be passed but never en forced. These Japanese are strong on forms and ceremonies. They joined the League of Nations without any idea that it would apply to their movements in Manchuria and they were right. It did not apply except that it forded the resignation of Japan from the League. In discussing Japanese or Chinese movements Oriental complexes have to be taken into consideration. It must also be remembered that what was true yesterday may not be true today. Changes are taking place rapidly in the Orient but the changes do not always mean the same as somewhat similar changes here.

Although beaten, the locals completely re-1 deemed themselves for the decisive defeat which was inflicted up-, on them in the opening game Friday night. There was nothing like their being outplayed or out classed on this occasion, indeed, It was a very close game, parti cularly so in the second half which turned out to be a ding-dong battle for fair with first one sldo and then the other ahead. The. finish was particularly exciting Within a" couple-of minutes of the end, Metlakatla was ahead 27 to 20. Then Prince Rupert went up 28 to 27 and it was less than a minute of the final whistle when the visitors tallied the winning basket UiroiJgh Marsden, who had played a wonderful game, coming through with n beautiful one- handed shot. With ;Herbie Morgan netting the opening basket with a rapid shot from fairly well out, the local were soon ahead 6 to 1. Then the visitors' got their shooting eyes and moved ahead to finish the first, half on the long end of a 19 to 13 'count, the visitors bulldina up the six point lead In the last two minutes. Opening up the second half with a burst of speed, the locals evened, the xount at 19 all before the Metlakatlans had a chance to score again, and thereafter it was first one side and then the other ahead. Play was fast and on couple of occasions the game was held up when visitors wert slightly Injured or winded. Nobodj was foadty hurt, however, Johnny Comadina, who refereed, was watching them closely and issued penalties with monotonous regularity, In all 33 fouls were called, Metlakatla converting eleven out of nineteen while the locals made 6 out of 14. As evidenced bv the size of'' the score, both sides missed many scoring chances. Intermedfate Game In the Intermediate exhibition game,' the smart Scythian squad let their Senior opponents build up quite a heavy lead In the first period and then turned on the old power in the second half to score a 37 to 36 victory. The Scythians started off to get three baskets before the All-Stars were able to get going at all. Then the Jitter 'came up with a series of ipeitacu'cir shots at long ranre and gradually moved ahead to finish the first half with a lead of 25 to 13 which left the Scythian fupporters, who seemed to be in the majority, groaning. What proved to .be the biggest excitement of the evening then ensued when the Scythians waded in with an offensive which heid the AH- Stars heipless and yielded them enough points for a 37 to 35 lead At this point 'the Scythians staged a deliberate stall-Dassintr tramp their one aim being to keep pos session of the ball without trying to shoot. The stunt worked and they succeeded In waiting out the final whistle as the crowd clamor- 2d for action. One free throw on a technical foul belnar called brought the All-Stars up another point to make the final count 37 to 30; for the Scythians. Dominate played, a strong game and garner. ed 18 points. Junior Opener The; Junior League curtain raiser, like the other two games of the eyenlng, also saw a final score with but a single point difference, tne All-Stars defeating Boy Scouts 23 o 2Z i In the first half the Scouts were unable to buck and were held ';to one field basket.

LEAFS HAD GREAT WIN Scored Shut-6nt Over Hangers On Saturday to Indicate They Are Dropping Slump TORONTO, Jan. 25: (CP)-4Wlth Harvey Jackson pulling the hat trick with three counters and assisting Bill Adds to make the fourth, Toronto Maple Leafs further indicated Saturday night that they are coming out of their early reason slump by scoring a four to nothing shut-out victory over the wavering New York Rangers in the National Hockey League. It was sweet revenge for the Maple Leafs who had been beaten In two previous games by the Rangers. The loyal Toronto fans were glad to see Goalie Broda get a much de served shut-Out, Ms first of the ;eason. He worked hard, at times igalnst odds, for It. Jackson made the first counter shortly before the end of the first jeriod and early In the third put he Maple Leafs two up. With less han five minutes left to go, the lusher made It three after a wild issault on the goal. The puck had lardly got back Into play when pps slammed it in again on Jack-jon's pass. This brought a growing pension up to fever heat and a ;lash between Mac Colvllle and ed Horner brought half a dozen ilayers into a free-for-all with .tick slashing, fisticuffs and wrestling. The game was held up or several minutes and the out-tome was the banishing to the pen- tlty bench by Referee Mickey Ion if Colvllle of the Rangers and Horner and Bill Thorns of the Leafs. This left Toronto tw6 play-:rs short and the Rangers one but, itspite the handicap, the Leafs vere able to hold the New Yorkers it bay for the last two minutes, rhe last play was the saving by 3roda of a fast one from Fowler. The game was featured by fancy katlng and classy passing. Both ides missed scoring chances.
