Tt is an indication| that Japan feels it has absorbed suffi- fent knowledge of the west to make it efficlont by itself in dealing witn tie| west. The abandonment of forelgn ad- visers has been brought about by re. frainjng from appointing successors to | the able men who have rendered valu-| able ald in the past when either resig-| nation or death has terminated their services. The most important instance! of this consclousness that Japan is able now to carry on fta own afiairs without forelgn ald was the decision not to fill the place when left vacant by the ueath uf the late Henry W. Denison, the dis- tnguished American, who cccupled the post of adviser to the Department of Forelgn Affairs. Jupan Sees Its Opportunity. The great war, with ' the temoorary elimination of Germany as a competitor n the markets of the world and Japan's natugal desire to expand its trade, led 10 the decision to employ & commercial expert, The Jupanese point of view is that to corapeto muccessfully with the forelgn ountries she must adopt the standard uf the4e countries and be famillar with all the commercial and industrial meth- ods which obtain abroad. Some Japanese business men have been very desirous lately of raising the standard of their vommercial proflucts and of convincing the forelgn buyers that they can expect the sane efficiency and rellability in Japanese products and manufactured #0ods as in any other country. Favors Thorough System. M. Browne talked this matter over very frankly with members of the Tokio chamber of commerce. He sald he was sorry . that Japanese exporters did not bear the best name In Australia. In- ferior goods and irregular shipments had caused no end of worry and incon- venfence and some exporters even refused to deal directly - with Japan as their experience has been very unsatisfactory. This reputation was due to the fact that some firms want to get rich quieck w the shadow ‘Instead of the nce.. He. bad .Alscovered, he sald, while visiting Japanese factopes that \u-y often exporters larger orders. than they can bandle. The orders are then distributed among sevoral small fagtoriea with the result that products of different grades, shapes and finish are shipped. Japancse exporters should establish a thorough system of tnspection and have only one standard for exports, Expects Competition, Mr. Browne sald ha thought the reason why Germans had secured such vast trade was the fact that they had applied sclence to production. Now Japan has its great opportunity and if it takes yantage of it and lves up to a higher of commerce and industry it would mot only be able to obtain, but to keep an important part of Australian trade and that of the southern seas gon- # erally.. Of course, Great Britaln and the United Statés would be competitors in the southern markets, but Japan would e sure to get its share if it convinced the buyers that it will oppoese inferior © Koods and indiferent shipments. ., There are many other indications of m‘- determination to extend its mar- Jn_all directions, especially China, -its interests lu constantly aug- “'& s Baron lllb-wu Coming.
