ee ONE BION YE Conservative Nipponese Fear That Prosperity May Induce Militarists to Overt Action. Coprrigta. 1021, by the Prove Puttiehing Co, he New York Evening World.) LONDON, Oct. 7.—Japan's visible assets increased during the war by 260,000,000 pounds sterling, which, ac- cording to the special correspondent im the Far East of the Times, is a Yery moderate estimate, Unlike all the other belligerents, Japan emerged from the conflict with no war debt and with little increased taxation. ‘The amount of gold held in Japan fm 1914 was 341,000,000 yen, while six years later it reached 2,000,183,000 yen. (The normal value of the yen Is 49.8 cents, On Wednesday the yen was quoted in New York at 47.437, a week ago It was 430. and a year ago $1.125c.) This gold, of which“all but a fraction ts held by the Government, exceeds Japan's note issue by 1,000,000,000 yen, which amount, says the Times correspondent, ‘Japan may ‘be said to have as a free balance to play with?’ Japanese of liberal tendencies fear that so much superffuous money only encourages “the militarist, reaction- ary element in expenditure upon armament and a forward foreign pol- foy in the false expectation that the interest and greatness of the country ‘will be promoted thereby,» These Iib- eral Japanese say the fate of Japan will be the same as Germany's if the ambitious militarists are not curbed.” Apart from this, the Government, whose surplus revenues during the five years of war were 1,266,000,000 yen, “has profited enormously in the heavy purchase of foreign bond issues made by Japan in foreign markets,” SATURDAY’S SPECIAL A NEW FALL MODEL Three Centre Buckles * The Toddle” 3° Patent or Kid Leather, Louis XV.

The capital of new compantes registered in Japan in 1918 totalled 855,000,000 yen and the value went on growing throughout ‘the war years until, in 1920, they reached nearly 6,000,000,000 yen. In 1914 Japan's bank clearances were 10,250,- 000,000 yen; in 1919 they reached 77,- 000,000,000 yen. But this wild expansion brought the stump of last year, when the average decline in the stock values of all reg- istered companies was something lke 70 per cent. Of course, although heavily hit, Japan with her enormous profits In hand and no increased na- tional debt, Js far better off than other countries. But neither her workers nor traders will recognize that an era of lowered prices has come, with the |= result that Japan is now the dearest country in the world to live in, espe- clally for the Japanese themselves. | There have already been big strikes | in Kobe and elsewhere and other | strikes impend. | a.
