Text of a telegram received by the Chinese Delegation from Nanking, dated September 22nd. 1931• (1) Mr. Shigemitsu called on Mr. T.V.Soong on Satur­ day morning September 19th. Owing to seizure by Japanese of all wires and wireless in Manchuria only information then available pointed to a purely local incident. He discussed advisability of setting up a mixed Sino-Japanese commission to adjudicate upon matter so as to prevent this incident from threatening friendly relations bet­ ween the two countries. M r . T.V. Soong expressed personal opinion that feasibility of such a step might be considered at both capitals. * 9 (2) At noon Ceptember 21' Japanese consul called on Mr. T.V.Soong at Nanking declaring that Japanese Govern­ ment favoure\ speedy constitution of such, a commission. (3) Mr. T.V.Soong replied officially that when matter was discussed between Mr. Shigemitsu ari himself it was believed that it was a mere local clash. But new it cannot be denied that Japanese troops have started rarlike operations on a large scale and invasion of Chinese terri­ tory still continues and therefore situation is entirely changed and establis hment of such a commission could not be considered. * 21 (?) înutilated Text ~of teJ egram Tec-erlr/ed b y t h e CiLinB.se ïteilegatiOTî’^'rori Nanking, dated September 22nd» 193^° VTith Japanese army in complete occupation of Kirin, Mukden and Chanchun and all strategic points in Mane>nir ia situation tense in Harbin where Chinese soldiers concentrate after evacuating other points not having fought pursuant to Chang Hsueh- Liang *s orders.

  • The South Manchurian Railway Company and the Mining Industry: the Case of the Fushun Coal Mine
    The South Manchurian Railway Company and the Mining Industry: The Case of the Fushun Coal Mine Tsu-yu Chen, Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica Abstract Following the Japanese victory over Czarist Russia in the Russo-Japanese War and the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905, the southernmost section of the southern branch of the China Far East Railway (Changchun–Port Arthur) was transferred to Japanese control. A new, semi-privately held company, the South Manchuria Railway Company (SMR, Mantetsu, was established with 85.6 percent capitalization by the Japanese government and foreign bonds to operate the railroad and to develop settlements (including highways, public health facilities, educational institutions,) and industries (coal mines, harbor facilities, electrical power plants, shale oil plants, chemical plants, and restaurants) along its route. SMR nonetheless emphasized railway and mining investment. The centerpiece of its mining interests was the Fushun Coal Mine. Starting in 1917, SMR began to prosper, with most profits coming from its coal mines, and it soon spun off subsidiary companies. In this sense, although the factors that influenced development of the Fushun Coal Mine in each period were different, this development still shows continuity of the business management. Keywords: South Manchuria Railway Company (SMR, Mantetsu), Fushun Coal Mine, mining industry, Japan, Manchuria Introduction Victory in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 enabled Japan to assert economic suzerainty over Northeast China. Japan thereupon organized the South Manchurian Railway Company (hereafter, SMR) as a means of developing the Northeast’s rich resources and establishing a basis for Manchurian-Mongolian operations. The funding for the SMR’s foundational period (1907–1914) came primarily from the Japanese government and foreign-issued corporate bonds, which together accounted for approximately 85.6 percent of its total funding.

  • Soil Ph Is the Primary Factor Driving the Distribution and Function of Microorganisms in Farmland Soils in Northeastern China
    Annals of Microbiology (2019) 69:1461–1473 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13213-019-01529-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Soil pH is the primary factor driving the distribution and function of microorganisms in farmland soils in northeastern China Cheng-yu Wang1 & Xue Zhou1 & Dan Guo1 & Jiang-hua Zhao1 & Li Yan1 & Guo-zhong Feng1 & Qiang Gao1 & Han Yu2 & Lan-po Zhao1 Received: 26 May 2019 /Accepted: 3 November 2019 /Published online: 19 December 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Purpose To understand which environmental factors influence the distribution and ecological functions of bacteria in agricultural soil. Method A broad range of farmland soils was sampled from 206 locations in Jilin province, China. We used 16S rRNA gene- based Illumina HiSeq sequencing to estimated soil bacterial community structure and functions. Result The dominant taxa in terms of abundance were found to be, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, and Proteobacteria. Bacterial communities were dominantly affected by soil pH, whereas soil organic carbon did not have a significant influence on bacterial communities. Soil pH was significantly positively correlated with bacterial opera- tional taxonomic unit abundance and soil bacterial α-diversity (P<0.05) spatially rather than with soil nutrients. Bacterial functions were estimated using FAPROTAX, and the relative abundance of anaerobic and aerobic chemoheterotrophs, and nitrifying bacteria was 27.66%, 26.14%, and 6.87%, respectively, of the total bacterial community. Generally, the results indicate that soil pH is more important than nutrients in shaping bacterial communities in agricultural soils, including their ecological functions and biogeographic distribution.

  • FINAL Matsusaka
    Imagining Manmō: Mapping the Russo-Japanese Boundary Agreements in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, 1907–1915 Yoshihisa Tak Matsusaka, Wellesley College Abstract This study attempts to delineate the boundaries of the spheres of interest in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia established under the Russo-Japanese accords of 1907 and 1912. Although the agreements are well known, there have been few efforts to reconstruct these spheres cartographically. Two existing maps offer contradictory interpretations. These partition agreements had a major impact on diplomacy, railway policy, and strategic planning during the decade they held force between 1907 and 1916, and the precise location of the Russo-Japanese sphere boundaries in this contested region was a matter of no small consequence. The author proposes a revised boundary map based on an examination of textual and cartographic sources, including maps produced by the army command of the Kwantung government-general. At the same time, the author seeks to highlight the potential value of cartographic analysis as a mode of historical inquiry into the record of Japanese imperialism. Cartography was an indispensable tool for modern empire builders in bringing a measurable territoriality to their realms and making their lands and subjects politically legible. The mapping entailed in these boundary agreements was important not only in bilateral diplomacy, but also in enhancing the legibility of Manchuria and Inner Mongolia to Japanese imperialists themselves. Introduction Early in the twentieth century, Russian and Japanese diplomats negotiated boundary agreements that partitioned Manchuria and Inner Mongolia into spheres of interest. Although staking out such spheres in China had emerged as a common practice among the Great Powers around the turn of the century, the Russo-Japanese agreements were unusual in adopting an approach to boundary making more consistent with the demarcation of formal territorial frontiers than with the rather amorphous claims characteristic of conventional sphärenpolitik.

  • Using Remote Sensing and Gis to Investigate Land Use Dynamic Change in Western Plain of Jilin Province
    USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TO INVESTIGATE LAND USE DYNAMIC CHANGE IN WESTERN PLAIN OF JILIN PROVINCE Zhan Chunxiao, Liu Zhiming *, Zeng Nan The College of Urban and Environmental Sciences of Northeast Normal University, 130024 Changchun, China- (zhancx643,liuzm,zengn679)@nenu.edu.cn KEY WORDS: Land Use Change, Dynamic Change, Human Driving Force, Jilin Province, GIS ABSTRACT: By using two-period(1980,2000)remote sensing images and with the support of GIS and RS, spatial pattern of land use change of Jilin province in recent 20 years is interpreted and extracted, and elucidated the human driving forces for the changes of cultivated 1and. Results showed that in the period 1 980 to 2000, the main trends of Jilin province's 1and use change were the transforming from grassland, woodland, and unused 1and to cultivated 1and.Among which, the transformed area from grassland to cultivated 1and was 35.01 percent of the tota1 transformed area. And the dynamic degree of grassland was the biggest. In the process of land use change, the intensity of human 1andscape has been enhanced. The spatial difference of 1and use change was obvious, and the change in western of Jilin province was very big. The transformed cultivated land from grassland and unused 1and mainly distributed in the northwest. The transformed area from woodland 1ocated in the edge region of woodland: the transformed urban from cultivated land distributed in the middle district where gathered many cities. In addition, part of grassland in the west as degraded to unused land. Population increase, economic development and macroscopic policy were the major driving forces for 1and use change of the studied area.
