He Asserts.’ Actual damage to preperty and business in' Japan has- been greéatly overestimated, ~Secretary of Com- merce Hoover said yesterday., de- claring estimates of a five-billion- dollar loss were absurd. e pointed out that industria} Japan wdslargely outside the devastated region and had been affected but little as far as actual damage was concerned. Labor, agriculture, factory capacity and org: tion is intact, Mr. Hoover kaid, expressing the beliel that the principal material damage was to the commercial organization at Yoko- h Tokio, which, he added, w uld be only temporarily deranged. Japan’s great financial strength, in the opinion of Mr. Hoover, is funda- mentully unimpaired, her principal material loss being one of interrypted distribution and not of production. He satd he looked for rapid recov- Japan had little foreign debt a at credit. The immediate problem, he added, Is in the destitution of the people, which, it was emphasized, calls for American generosity in large and wpceitive proportions. Dixaster Not Serfous. Taking Japen as a whole the dis- sster was not a serious blow. Mr. Hocver «aid. Even: the great mer- cantile !l'ms at okohama, he said, would their '+ business | within te 's. with trade tempor: 1y diverted from the Yokohama ha bor. An immediate effect of the earth-| auake, in Mr. Hoover's opinion. will| be to stimulute trade with the United ates through the purchase of relief nmvues and building materials. He ted Jupan would buy building lals for restoration from all her principal trade sources, with com- paratively little steed or brick needed because of her prevalence of wooden construction.
