WAR ECONOMY
PROBALY FOR !
THE JAPANESE1
I
TOKIO, June 27 —(Correspondence
of The Associated Press) — Warning
that adverse economic conditions may
develop in Japan as a result of the war
was given by the Japanese Premier,
Count Trauchi, in an address delivered
recently before the annual meeting of
the clearing house banks. Responsib
ility of averting a disaster, he said,
rested upon the bankers of Japan.
The Premier remarked that the ne
cessity of industrial independence had
been vividly brought home to Japan in
consequence of the war and it was be
cause of this that the government had
introduced into the last session of the
Diet projects tending towards the ach
ievement of this independence.
Mr. Shoda, Finance Minister, who
followed Count Terjauchi, said that the
governemnt compiling the estimates
for the current fiscal year plan the ut
most attention to the perfection of the
national defense. A project was map
ped out for the building of two battle
cruisers, three cruisers, and seventy
five other warships of all sorts at a
total cost equivalent to $150,250,000
disbursment of which was to be spread
over sax years. This together with the
expenditure of $141,500,000 which had
already fixed, would bring the total
naval expenditure to be defrayed dur
ing the next six years to about $292,- i
000,000.
JAPANESE MINISTER WILL
FOLLOW OLI) POLICY
TOKIO, June 27 — Baron Goto, as,
Foreign Minster of Japan, succeeding*
Motono announced that he intends to
follow the policies of Motono.

It has just about gotten so in this
country that when a man feels that he
is going to hit the ceiling he tries to
let on like he is practising for the avia
tion corps.
