Koreans Ready
To Fight and Die
. For Independence
Minister of LaJor Declares
Nothing Short of Full Free
dom Will Be Accented
From Japan.
By J. B. POWELL.
(Ii Iosco Tribune Foreign Xew Servlo.
Peking. "Japan may make re
form after reform in Korea, may
remove ' all her harsh restrictions,
and may agree to give fis something
in the nature of home rule, and it
will make no difference in the mat
ter of undying Korean hostility.
Xf thing short of absolute independ
ence will satisfy us iu any wtly. It
is not reforms wc are ready to fight
and (J;e for, but freedom."
So declares Mr. Chang Ho Aim,
minister of labor in the provisional
government of the Korean republic.
' whose seat of government is just
now at Shanghai, at a shifting ad
dress in the French concession. Mr.
Arm,, is now in Peking, heading a
delegation which, has just had a long
conference with Representative
Stephen S.-Torter, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee of the
United States house of representa
tives. This delegation went to
Hongkong' to meet the American
congressmen uow touring the
orient, hut was disappointed in that
the transport on which they were
traveling djd not touch at that point.
The Koreans hurried bade to
4 Shanghai, but could not edge their
way through the numerous engage
ments made for the visitors by the
Chinese and American- organiza

termined to follow the American
lawmakers to Peking, although
somewhat nervous about crossing
the Japanese concession in Tientsin,
and here they have presented their
case.
Keep, Movement Alive.
What they have told Mr. Porter,
who received them' in his official .ca
pacity, is, in'short, that the Ktfrean
Movement for independence is to he
kept up indefinitely, with the inde
pendence desire nursed and kept
alive until some auspicious moment
arrives. Korkau hope tenters in the
continuous (ruggestioii in certain
. V 'circles in China tjiat eventually there
V will be war between' Japan andtthe
United. States, and on this is pinned
the Korean program.
"Immediately Japan gets ' into a
war with a first class ower Korea
will rise against her,," explains one
of the delegation, "and wc will be
& factor in Japan's defeat. Should
that'war never come, we will keep up
our agitation both in andJ out of
Korea that Japan will eventually
find that holding our country is a
losing game which Tokio cannot af
ford to keep up."
Mr. Ahn, the minister of labor,
heading the Relegation, who has
spcut .some years of his life in a
Korean prison, sent there by the old.
corrupt Korean government because
of his advocacy of reforms, and who
has traveled extensively in America',
has issued a statement furnished by
Mr. Porter. In this, statement he
says:
"The treaty of commerce and am
ity made between Korea, and the
United States pledges American sup
port to Korean independence and
American sympathy with Korea, and
. on the strength of that treaty pledge
of the United States we are now ask
, ing that America give recognition to
our provisional government as it ex
ists. ' "
.Want U. S.p Understand.
"We want the worldand' partic
ularly the United States, to .under
stand this: That the United States
is no longer an isolated nation, but
is a world's power in the truest sense
and as such is keenly interested in
the preservation- of peace'of the ori
ent, and one method of sloving the
Chinese question is to assist the
movement for Korean independence.
When Japan annexed Korea it be
came at -once a menace against the
peace of Asia, and, consequently, a
menace against the peace of ihe
world." ,

New Wonderland Created Along Lower Mississippi
By Huge Reclamation Program in Fertile
District Along "American Nile."

Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 13. The
tide of immigration, which ha been
westward for centuries, is beginning
to swing" southward. Homeseekers
are Minding the newest wonderland
along the lower Mississippi river, in
the "American Nile valley." Remark
able population growth, indicated in
the late census, returns, shows that
this new general farming region is
in its boom infancy. .
Greatest interest of farmers cen
ters in the alluvial or deposited soil
region, which embraces 25,000,000
acres, starting at the mouth of the
Ohio river, in southern Illinois and
southeastern Missouri, and extend -
ing to the Gulf of Mexico, with great
areas of richest bottoms in eastern
Arkansas, Western Mississippi and
eastern Louisiana. s
Practically the whole regbn as
bij; a the combined areas of Dela
ware, Maryland, Rhode Island, Con
necticut and then some has been a
wilderness until the last few years.
Levees to protect it, from high water
stages of the Mississippi river; drain
age ditches to. carry off surplus sur
face water, and the discovery that
artesian wells can be "brought in"
anywhere in the region are the three
great factors that are paving the
way for devtlopmentv

The distinction of perform
x ahce which rates the moderate
priced Esses- among the fine
cars of the world is by ho
means confined to its' greater
speed, acceleration and hill
climbing ability.
Official proofs remove' its
supremacy in those qualities
from debate. No car of its
motor size ever matched them.
Some of its marks were never
equalled by any car, -regardless
of size, price or type.
i Thus Essex Takes Rank
With the Greatest Cars
Yet if one- quality, more
than another, causes men v to
link Essex in merit with the
costly cars, it is its ease of
motion, and elastic smooth
ness in action, which have no
counterpart amemg light cars.

1910 to 4J.320 in 1920, or 53.3 per

Crittenden county, nearby, gained
30.6 per cent: Craighead county 35.9

made the greatest population gains
of any counties in Arkansas.
Among the towns, 4' of which

An ' Essex Advantage
That All Acclaim
That is the enchantment
Essex owners admit they value
next to its reliability. Even
long association, they say, does
not dispel the impression of
riding in a large car. 1
We know in' all candidness
that few meneyer have call
for such speed and power ai
Essex possesses. Yet no owner
mistakes it for useless surplus.
This exc2ss ability is' valued
chiefly because it does the
ordinary task without effort.
And because men like to .have
capacity that can meet ezcep-
tional calls for power, speed
and acceleration, with an ease
and absence of strain 4hat
brings no concern us to its
accomplishment
The satisfaction and enthu
siasm of nearly 50,C00 owners
contents us to leave the judg
. ment . of the Essex in their
hands.

Exodus of Negroes.
The figures ate considered strik
ing in view of the small per cent
Rain in . total population. for the
states as a whole, due largely to the
great exodus of the negro popula-n
tion. Whereas Mississippi's 1920
population shows a decrease since
1910, the "bottom counties" show big
gains, indicating that the rich soil
of the bottom counties is attracting
large numbers of white' -farmers,
many of whom are from northern
states. They are finding that a
growing season of 10 months each
year makes it possible to raise live
stock at a minimum cost, of reduc
tion and that two crops of many
products, sueh as clover after wheat
cr oats; two yields df corn, etc., are
hssets of tremendous worth. They
are finding also that the land values

farming regions While, on the other
