WEST VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY. MAY 5th, 1938 No. 5 B. C.'s OPPORTUNITY It looks as if Japan has shot* her bolt in China, and that moans she has lost the war. The rest is just a m atter of time. She was evidently seriously misinformed about the Chinese forces and their armament, in which regard her intelligence men Jell down very badly, she over-estimated the value of mechanization like the Germans and Italians in Spain as she underestimated the great flow of munitions to Chiang«*Kai Shek from all nations including even Germany and Italy, and she did not reckon on a united China. So far more than two thirds of the regular Chinese army has never been in action. Thallwith the huge, reservoir of man'power still available to him shows how heavy are the odds against Japan. ----- Up to the- time-Of~the-war- a[-kind-b£-free-trad^arrange^. m e i i i existed between the tw o-countries. * China'exported large quantities of raw material free into Japan. In return Japan exported; f r ^ in to China much o f the products of her factories; Owing to their geographical proximity the one to the other and their mutual necessities the plan worked well in spite of the fact that there was no love lost between the two races. , • , All that has been en^ed by the war. Japan by her un­ provoked attack and brutal methods o f conducting the cam­ paign has lost her very profitable market in China, for the whole world knows the power of. a Chinese boycott. It is a real thing and carried out to a man with a thoroughness un­ known to the Occidental. \ Therein lies British Columbia's opportunity. W e are the nearest to China," although an Ocean divides us. The Chinese have had a t least our sym pathies in, their conflict w ith Japan, and an Oriental never forgets a kind act nor forgives an injury. Of course, other nations will be after thp-Chinese markets, in­ cluding tjje jeastem Canadian manufacturers, biit ttie geo­ graphical'advantage is with us, and the very mountain rate which has been the bugbear o f our manufacturers will be our- best friend. - When peace comes again to the Orient there will, b e ,o f necessity much reconstruction work to be done. Tlbr instance, there is not'one wall standing in Shanghai, outside the Inter­ national Settlem ent. The lumber required should come largely from this province, i f w e are alive to the opportunities which will at that tim e be presented. Then there are among other things pulp .and dairy products which before the war were iarigeiy pundiJfsed'by';Chma f fe # ^ j^aixan ̂and whichn w - i^ ^ peculiarly able to supply. These threb"'items taken a t random show-the--future-Oppoii:unities-coming-to-our--industries-and- indirectly to the trade o f our ports. ' ' But in sp ite o f our many advantages we shall not obtain our share unless we really go out after it, for the competition will be severe.

F E R R Y L isN D IN ^ COMING EVENTS Dublin, in 1907............. - ^ "'̂ Present day audiences find it dilfioult to understand what caused the uproar but for t h e ' first four days, of its run the players could scarcely hear to speak their lines, so great was' : the rioting and commotion a- mong the audience. The play, which is a satire bn humanity, was thought by the Irish peopley . to be an insult to their nation­ ality. The heroine, a peasant girl, falls in love w ith a y'outh who has committed *'a patricide / (supposedly), apd the Irish audii . ence resented the situation. On the first n ight o f the per­ formance, the audience sat ap­ parently'quiet for th e first part' of the evening, but in reality th e^ w ere seething w ith resent- ' m<3(m. Finally, as the last set of theperform ance opened, they let break a storm o f protest. The ..next morning the newspapers carried headlines denouncing the play and demanding its with- > drawal.
