TWENTY-FIFT- H YEAR. RANDOLPH, RICH COUNTY, UTAH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1921. t rt NUMBER 23. Mill i i i I REFUSAL OF JAPAN TO RELIN. QUISH MANCHURIA RENEWS WITHDRAWAL TALK I Japanese Find Shantung Unprofitable And Seek To Trade It For Ad. vantage; China Will Not Get Japan Out of Manchuria - Washington A forecast of what China will get out of Washington made Sunday by a mem. ber of the American state department who is thoroughly familiar with far eastern conditions and with inside ne. gotiations at this conference. These things are: 1. Complete restitution of Shantung, providing Japans rights In Manchuria are recognized. 2. Restitution of the British lease, hold at the French lease at Kwangchouwan. 3. Increase of tariff rates 4. Removal of foreign postoffices. 5. Conditional removal of foreign troops. 6. Commission to study withdrawal of extraterritorial rights. 7. Reaffirmation of the territorial and administrative integrity of China, with a new definition of the open door and a recognton of what con stitutes China. None of these things has been done yet except the last, but the conference is moving toward some such consum- , mation. . China will not get Japan out of Manchuria,' nor will she get back the British strongholds in China. Nothing but force can remove these things, and America has informed China that she cannot expect America to go to war for her or to put herself In a position where war is probable. Without formally recognizing Jap. ans special Interests In Manchuria and thus strengthening her hold there permanently, It is evident that fhe policy is not to insist on the American interpretation of the "open door in that part of the world. To insist upon it means war, and the American delegates feel that the people would not back them up In this. To insist upon It also would imperil the success of the conference. The big thing that is being done is to start China in the way of helping herself. If she wants to get rid of Japan she will have to do it herself. The question of financial aid for China has gone under the surface during the week. The statement of Mr. Hanihara, Japanese delegate, in committee that the international consortium had recognized Japans rights In Manchuria has not made the consortium any more popular with the Chinese, and his statement Is denied by consortium authorities. ' A new consortium will have to be arranged If Chinese coopeTatl'on is expected, and without the Chinese the bankers can do nothing. Chinese today express disapointment over the trend of affairs and talk again of withdrawing from the conference. They declare they will not recognize Japans Manchurian leases, and if fhe conference does they will walk out. Japan is making a special drive for this, and there is danger that the delegates will maneuver into some statement of position that will afterward be interepeted by Japan as the Lahsing-Ish- i note was interpreted. It is the hope of the American delegates that through public opinion and the attitude of the nations, informally expressed, Japan may be led to change her tactics in the far east. The Siberian situation has nol come up' yet, and Mr. Hughes declaration of the duty of the other nations to set up a moral trusteeship over that country remains to be translated into some, tiling definite. Chinese and Japanese delegates Mil meet Monday for further conversations over the Shantung in the presence of American and British observers. Japan has found that occupation unprofitable and wants to get out, but at tbe same time wants to make a bargain over withdrawal.

April 1, next, has been tentatively set by the Utah Copper company for the reopening of Its great mine ut Bingham and the resumption of operations at Its plants at Arthur ' and Garfield. Should the present rate of consumption of copper continue through the remainder of this year and the beginning of 1922, the company will reopen its mine and plants on the date named, but not to the extent that prevailed for some time previous to the closing down of the properties several months ago. This announcement was made Saturday by R. C. Gemmell, general manager of the Utah Copper company, at the weekly meeting and luncheon of the mining committee of the Commercial club and chamber of commerce, at the conclusion of an address on the copper situation. Mr. Gemmell stated that while April 1 had been tentatively named as the date for the resumption of operations, the plans of the company in this respect depended solely upon the continued activity of the copper market, and in this there might be experienced a disappointment In reply to a question as to the importance of the operations of the Utah Copper company to the well being of Salt Lake and fhe several suburban towns, he said that while the company made no claims in this respect it was undoubtedly true. At the height of the companys operations, he stated, there were employed, directly or indirectly, about 7000 men, who were paid an average of $5 a day ,or a total of $35,000 a day, while large amounts were paid for supplies .all of which were purchased here, so far as possible ,and which Included 400 to 500 tons of coal per ' - day. Mr. Gemell said that possibly no more than 2000 men would be employed when the operations are resumed, but that the number undoubtedly would be gradually increased thereafter and as rapidly as circumstances warranted although he Believed that 5000 would be the ultimate maximum while the wages would average $4 a day. In his address on the general copper situation, Mr. Gemmell said: Since July, the refinery output has shown an increase and the September production of refined copper from local ores (that is ores mined in the United States only), was 30,000,000 pounds, while imports totaled 26,000,' 000 pounds, having a total output of 56.000.- 000. The official figures of the United States geological survey show that the socks of refined copper in the United States on January 1, 1921, totaled pounds. In addition to this, 273.000.- 000 pounds were in process chat is en route to the refineries or in storage at smelters and refineries awaiting the extraction of the gold and silver contents. It is estimated that the production of primary copper in the United States, as well as imports for the current year, will total approximately 1,000,000,000 pounds.
