JAPANESE BUYING U. S. SECURITIES
WITH TRADE BALANCE FAVORING
HER HUNDRED MILLION YEARLY
_
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON.—While American
exporters have been, sending an en
ormous amount of goods to Europe
and piling up a huge balance of trade
in America’s favor, but little atten
tion ho3 been given to the flourishing
condition of Japanese commerce, with
the result that the great majority of
American business men have b°en
startled to find that by reason of
changed conditions brought about by
the war a trade balance of about
$100,000,000 a year is now being en
joyed by the Japanese Empire in
trade with the United States.
Department of Commerce statis
tics show that Japan has been ship
ping to the United States a great
amount of goods, mainly manufac
tures, formerly imported from Ger
many. Many other oriental products,
pi Inclpally silk, havo been pouring Into
this country at a greatly stimulated
rate because of the slackening of the
European demand. The natural re
sult of such a condition has been a
steadily growing trude balance and
the accumulation of Japanese credits
here.
Since the money market in Japan
is at present easy, the Japanese have
elected to invest their profits in this
country rathor than transfer the gold
to Japan. This explains a recent
Wall street report to the effect that
in the last 3ix months Japanese have ;
bought $50,000,000 worth of American
securities.
