Is Villa a Friend
Of the Government?
Mexico City, June 28.?Despite hie
repeated assurances that he is no
longer a bandit but a gentleman far
mer of the state of Durango, the
movements of Francisco Villa are
being closely watched in official
circles here. To some observers it
is difficult to believe that this formei
guerrila has accustomed himself tc
the routine of ranch life and is now
finding in his growing crops and
lowing herds the contentment that a
man of his tremendous nervous energfy
derived in the past from daring
deeds of warfare.
Is Villa the staunch friend of thf
Obregon administration that his
friends claim for him? Will Villa
stay out of politics and play no part
in the forthcoming congressional
elections? In the event of a serious
threat against Obregon's power
wouiu vuia rally his 4,UUU ranchers
in behalf of the president or would
he lead his men in a new revolution?
These are the frequent questions ol
* the street here and the answers are
as varied as those who make reply,
The pacification of Villa is proclaimed
by the friends of Provisional
President de la Huerta as the one big
achievement of his short administration
in 1920. To secure the peace
pact with the famous bandit it was
necessary for the Mexican government
to grant him an extensive tract
of land on which his faithful followers,
numbering some 4,000, might
. work and prosper. There was also c
transfer of considerable cash whicli
Villa said he needed to develop his
new ranches. It is also understood
that one of the stipulations of the
agreement was that Villa was tc
stay out of politics.
Villa settled in the state of Durango
and the few persons who have
visited his hacienda report that he is
an enthusiastic farmer. Of late, however,
stories have been creeping out
BMW of the north to the effect that furrow
ed field and blooded dairy stock are
commencing to pall and that to relieve
the monotony, tha captor of Co
lumbus is mixing just a trifle in the
state politics of Durango. Some re
ports are that he has been asked tc
run for governor and has consented
but persona close to the man denj
the rumors. No matter what the
facts, tha uncertainty of Villa's ac
tion is causing considerable comment
in the capital which within the past
two months, has been put on the qui
vive several times by "authentic*
statements that the Durango ranchei
was on his way to Mexico City U
consult with his Dresident. ?T? has
never arrived and there is small pos
sibility that he will come.
All of which has merely served U
.if, the months' old questioningwill
Villa stand fast no matter whal
turmoil might arise in Mexico Cityl

Bassompierre advised his home government
that he thought a party of
Belgian business men should come to
Japan and see trade conditions for
themselves. This the Belgian diplomat
scaid was due to the fact that
8ince the war the trade of his country
with Japan had grown considerably.
As a matter of fact only Germany
and Belgium showed increases
in their reports for l'.)21 to this country
over those of the preceding year.
At the present time there are very
few Belgian business houses in this
country, yet the trade continues to
grow and the object of the mission in
visiting this contry is to get first hand
information as to actual conditions so

Japan Faces Land Problem
Osaka, Japan, June *J(5.? As in most
countries with a large tenants farmer
population Japan is faced with a land
problem. In recent months, in several
parts of the country but especially
in Osaka and Kyushu prefctures
the tenants have been returning the
land to the owners because of the lat
tor's refusal to grant them a larger
percentage of the crops, the farms being
worked on the share system.
These tenants claim that under the
present system, with long Tiours and
arduous work, the earnings of a family
averages $11 monthly.
The land owners on the other hand
claim that besides raising much of
their own food on tin land the tenants
have the income from by-products
which increases their earnings considAv..ri.,
K.,* ?<i? *

offset the increased cost of fertilizers,
large quantity of which have to he
used nil over Japan, and irrigation.
Some of the owners are proposing
to farm their own land and are making
trials with tractors for ploughing
but the tenants assert that the labor
for sowing or planting which in cnse
of rice must be done by hand, will not
be forthcoming. According to the
latest statistics, the number of the
tenant-farmers in this country is 5,482,000.
Their tenant land is 3,105,000
cho (one oho being about 25
acres) in area and the crops are about
60,818,000 koku (one koku being
about four bushels).

In Marseilles
Marseilles, June 26.?Soviet Russia
has firm supporters in Marseilles. Everyone
from the docklnborers to the
wealthy manufacturers wants Bolshevik
Russia's tiade. The petition of
the Marseilles Chamber of Commerce
for the reestahlishment of trade with
Russia produced such an impression
on former Premier Rriand that he
went far toward bettering Russian relations.

end Raymond roincare succeeded him. \
France's attitude at the Genoa con
ference did not appeal to Marsheilles
vith its idle shipping: and smokeless
factories, and pressure is being
brought by Marseilles interests of aii j
sorts to effect some settlement at The
liague conference which will facilitate
France's trade relations with
Black Sea ports.
Marseilles is the greatest flour milling
city on the Mediterranean. Before
the war one-fifth of Its flour mill
products went to Russia. It also had
a great Russian trade in soap and oil.
The population of Marseilles is so
largely industrial that the SocialistsI
are always in me maj< r y. While the
red flaps and displa., n rywpvmbfw
Marseilles Socialists frequently fly
red flaps and display sympathy for
Bolshevik Russia, they are really a
"faint pink" in contrast r<> the Russian
Communists. On the occasion of
the recent municipal elections in
which th(> Socialists won their usual
overwhelming victories there were
many parades in celebration of their
successes. Red flaps and banners demanding
the release of French sailors
who are still in prison for refusing
I to fight the Bolsheviki at Odessa, were
displayed. The mutiny of the French
navy at Odessa, when it was ordered
to attack Soviet forces in 1918, has
always been a favorite theme with
French Socialists of the extreme type,
who also opposed the Wrangel and
Dcnikine movements.
To the party of American bankers
who were visiting hen* at the time of
the recent election excitement the
street parades seem very extreme.
But demonstrative red flap parades
are no novelty to old residents nf Mar
scilles, who realizes how largely Russia's
collapse has contributed to ceo.
nomic depression in France's great
Mediterranean port.
Marseilles has an immense foreign
population engaged in shipping and
Industrial pursuits. Italians, Greeks
I and Levantines outnumber Frenchmen
on the docks. Arabs, Turks, Moroccans,
Algerians and Egyptians, frequently
wearing their native costumes
also contribute to the International
chax-acter of Marseilles' waterfront.
Plenty of work at good wages clearly
means more to this cosmopolitan
crowd than political beliefs, but Bolshevik
agitators have found willing
listeners among th0 unemployed.
