In a succeeding letter, I shall try to point out a | few of the reasons why the nations of the world |are fearful of Japanese industrial competition, as a result of our observations. THE PHILIPPINE INAUGURAL Emil Hurja, former Alaska newspaper man and now assistant to James A. Farley, Chairman of the Democratic National Com- mittee, was one of those making the recent interesting trip to the Philippines for the inaugural ceremonies of the new Philip- pine Commonwealth. On the journey, Mr. Hurja, an able writer, prepared exclusively for The Empire a series of articles covering the voyage, the ceremonies and the inter- esting places enroute. They give an insight to the whole history-making event which was not available in the daily news dis- patches. The second of the interesting arti- cles is presented herewith: By EMIL HURJA KYOTO, Japan—We have had a busy two days! since landing in the modern port of Yokohama on the twenty-eighth.
