One of the movements which is working strongly to produce a close friendship between the two peoples is the growing commercial and financial relations between them.

Aside from' this, Japan needs capital for the deyelop- ment of Chinese urces, and nat- urally looks to the United States, now the leading banking country of the world, for it.
