JAPAN TO SEND
SECOND COLONY
TO MANCHURIA
By JAMES A. MILLS
HARBIN. Manchuria, May 25 —
Encouraged by the success of 500
former Japanese soldiers who have
settled at Chamasu, north of Har
bin, the Japanese government on
June 23 will send another greup of
500 ex-army men to colonize an
area 100 miles northeast of here on
the Sungari river.
Members of the second : migrant
group are receiving special training
for their new vocations as farmers
and artisans before sailing from
Japan.
Radicals Arc Barred
Only Japanese men with few or
no family ties, able to endure hard
ships, free from radical tendencies,
and below 25 years cf age, are eli
gible as settlers in the new colonies.
It is hoped these new communi
ties will form the nuclei cf large
future settlements of Japanese in
Manchuria.
All the new colonists will be
armed so as to cope with Chinese
brigands with which Manchuria is
infested.
Heretofore the J a p a nese have
been reluctant to leave the home
land for Manchuria. Besides the
danger of bandits, there were the
rigors of climate, the lack of com
forts, the isolation and the appar
ent impossibility of competing with
the cheap Chinese coolie labor.
Colonies Fight Bandits
But with the gradual suppres
sion of banditry, and with direct
material aid from the home gov
ernment, Japanese settlers have
shown greater readiness to try a
new life.
