the export of Bean Cake to Japan commenced and its
fertilizer value began to be recognized. This brought about
a sharp increase in demand year after year. The Bean
mills in Manchuria thus entered upon a new era of development.
 The position of Bean Oil and Bean Cake became
reversed. Bean Cake came to be looked upon as the
principal produets with Bean Oil for by-product.
During these dozen years or so, the world was confronted
 with dearth of oil and fat, and this led to the
awakening of an immense demand of worldwide scale for
Bean Oil. The lively export thereof to Europe and
