The following article is the third of a series upon the industrialisation and en. tire reconstruction of Japan by Adachi Kinnosuke, probably the foremost writer upon Japauess matters- fn America By ADACHI KINNOSUKE. Industrialization is about the only way out for Nippon. It has got to be. As she cannot work out her sal- vation through her flelds and farms, there is no other way but through her shops. Six things must exist before & coun- try -an be successful industrially— abundance of raw materlals and of skilled labor, ready markets, cheap capital, good transportation and cheap power—especiaily cheap indus- trial power. Raw materials and cheap capital can be imported, so also man power to a certaln extent. The importation an. | Of motive power for industrial pur- poses is quite another story. France imports her electric energy from tha power stations on the river Aar, in Switzerland. But Japan Is favored by no such geographical partiality. How and where is Japan going to get her cheap power? Source of Power. Here i3 the question much more Important then the army and the navy of Japan. There must be some- thing worth protecting before army and navy can prove their worth. And without cheap power for the produc- tive industries of Japan her future is worth about &8 much as a Leviathan in a dry pond. Arnd yet the peopls of Japan, Who bad been worrying them- selves into hysterics and throwing miny hundreds of millions of yen into the national defense for more than half a century, never pald the slight- est attention ' to this all-important theme until very recently. As & na- tion she never woke up to the im- portance of the power to supply un- til about & generation ago. Getting Short of Conl. Then the coal fields of Kuyshu were getting rather low. The great Miike colliery, controlled by the Mitsui in- terests, was proving more expen because of the persistence of inrush- ing water in the mine and the non- stop flights of the wags scule miners. We Japanese have quite a rep tion for cons bands, a- tantly extending our hat As a matter of fuct, Japan is the original home for a hundred cures for big-heads. Careful survey of the coal fields of Japan is one of the most potent of the cures. There For | are three large flelds fn Japin. out of more than 4,009,600,000 tox Hokkatdo, less t Of more than ich wa are getting the be ality of coal and {n greater quantity than from uny other mines, less then 1,:00.000,000 tonw are workable. The Hynsiu *and Shikoku mines co something ke 474,000,000 tons under the ground, but leas than 173,000,000 of them are workable. Tetal of Ceal. In other words, the total amount of workable coal deposit of Japan is less than 1,800.000,000 tons. In 1920 the United States produced nearly 830,000,000 tons of coal. At that rate the total coal wealth Japan com mands Is lees than three years' o put of the Amerfjean coal mines Comparigon is sald to be an odious thing; this one is more odious than usual. The price of coal in Japan is about twice the normal American price. Frelght charges account for the kigh price in one way. The prin- cipal coal fields are far from the dustrial centers—except in_Kyuthu The half of the price of Hokkaldo coal, for example, shipped either at Muroran or from Otaru to Tokio. is for the freight. Miners Are Ineficient. Inefficiency of the Japanesa miners is another reason for the high price of coal. At the Yubari mine, for ex- ample, the daily output of a Japanese miner is .64 ton. Even in F it was .3 ton per worker in 1 America it is put at worker {n anthracite tuminous flelds. the course. noor Japanese conditions which pre tensive use of machiner: fact stands. Thus the wages sudden wings iin pre-war days ae mining in the three largest mines nearest to Toklo w: 3.15_yen per ton ($1.57). In 1822 it was 12 ven, or $6 per ton. Since 1919 coal production of Japan has been on the decline. It has de- clined at the rate of 16.2 per cent. In the perjod 1877-1893 the produc- tion increased 565 per cent. Quite a contrast. Lack of Ofl Supply. The oil flelds of Japan tell a still sadder tale. In Nilgata, ulong the Nippon sea, are the chief oil fields of Japan, and the Kurokawa district in Akita was a_sensation of 1913. But in 1919 the Kurokawa wells produced less tnan 600,000 koku, or 2.850,000 gallons. In 1921 the total oil pro- duction of Japan was slightly less than 71,500,000 gallons. Now, that is Itogether panese miners, of hief reason of DRY_STORAGE FOR FURNITURS | about 60 per cent of the private con- sumption of ofl in Japan. But the Japanese navy uses up pretty nearly as much oil as all the private con- US MOVE YOUR FUR-|sumers of the empire put together. Therefore the total output of ofl in Japan is not satisfying more than ne-third of the country's demand. wells and the output mounted until it reached, the apex in 1916, amounting to nearly 120 million gallons of crude oll. But since then the output has An this steady decrase is shown in the face of the steady Increase in the amount of capital invested in the in- dustry. The paid-up capital of vari- ous ofl companies in 1917 amounted to a little more than 49,600,000 ven. In 1921 it was more than 68.300,000 yen. That §s the reason why many of the men interested in the industry feel pretty blue and take an exceed- ingly dark view of the future of the oll business in Japan. They are sure that the ofl reservoir of Japan is being exhausted fast. Salvation im Water FPower. Japan, therefore, had to look for her industrial salvation outside of coal and oil. And she has found it in_her hydro-electrio power. Nature has been & stepmother to Japah in almost all her gifts in the shape of substantlal raw materials. But she does weep over Japan with OFFICIAL NOTICES.

Aside from lighting, the use of ele tric power in va industries ma a sensational advance in Japan since the world war. In 1914 power supplied for all industrial purposes amounted to about 390,000 horsepower. In. 1921 it was more than 1,550.000. Iron foundry and machine making industry used up more than 413,000 horsepower, which is more than the entire amount used by all industries before the war. W and dyeing used up in 1921 more ,000 horsepower. carly 53,000 mofors engaged in _the production of “comestibles and beverages" used up about 150,000 and mining and refinery more than 272, The chemi anemlc infant war. In 1814 about 3.000 men and women were working at the produ tion of industrial chemicals. The en- tire output of the year was valued at slightly more than 7,500,000 yen. Be- hold the transformation! In 1920 thers were more than 15,450 people engaged at the same business and the ~zlue of the chemicals they pro- duced was more than 65,400,000 ven. Other branches of chemical industry tell the same wonder tale. And these did not die out with so many other war babies. Now the chemical industry uses electric power almost entirely. In 1921 it had 14,500 motors using 252,000 egate horsepower. e as been suid, the story of the hydro-electric_business in Japan is as young as it has been sensational. It was as late as 1907 that the Tokio Electric Company succeeded in trans- mitting £5,000 volts from Yamanashi Prefecture to Toklo. That was the epochal event in the history of hydro- electrics in Japan. But even then the country was full of skeptics. Japan was not at all sure whether her own engineers were able to send a large amount of electric energy from the power plants deep in a remote moun- tain fastness ver hundreds of miles into the great cities, such as Tokio, Osaka and Nagoya. 1t remained for the Inawashiro Hydro-Electric Company engineers to demonstrate their ability, to the utter and complete silence of critics. 1In 1914 they succeeded In transmitting 115,000 volts over their steel towers, reaching from Inawashiro lake clear to Tokla, a distance of 150 miles And the best part of the thing Is that the promise of cheap power for industrialization of Japan through the further development of hydro- electric energy is the plentiful rain- fall of the country. For her rivers have been flowing since the time of the gods, And since time out of mind rains have been feeding the streams at the rate of §0 to 120 inches a year. (Copyright, 1 A New Language.
