- 81 cnl from Europe by
way of the new world, but gave a little
Of his time at the Knutsford to a dis
cuss.on OF Japanese general topics.
II his view it was a very good thing
Tor Japan that she did not retain any
OF her territorial conquests in the recent
war with China, for her strength. when
the science of government is applied. lies
wholly in the cOmDactness of her king
dom. geographically speaking. The ac-
cession of Korea would have entailed the
jealousy of Russia. and one pat of that
] gigantic paw would effectualiy decimate
the little island empire.
Jaoan came out of the war 81 900, 600
ahead of China, which immense sum was
paid in gold by the Chinese. This great
amount of the yellow metal has given
! impetus and decision TO the government
/ in casting its lot among the gold stand
ard nations The gold mines of Japan are
| coming 10 the front through the invest
ment of foreign capital. Very little other
metal is produced from her soil.
! The principal modern exports are cot
/ ton goods and wooden ware, in the man
ufacture of which the japanese are Won
derfully proficient The trade in teas and
other old staples continues unabated.
one interesting phase OF japanese so
cial conditions brought out by the trav-
ele- IS the strange moral code that per-
tains to maidennOOd in Japan. The
traffic. so-called. in the girls OF that coun-
try. is not regarded as it IS by the wOm-
an reform movement now agitating the
world. Mr.. Heldring says that Japa-
nese father does not consider II i'm
moral 10 contract his daughter to Il Euro
pean for TWO Years or three years, at the
end of which time she Is free TO marry
some other person. The rental or fee for
the girl is paid TO the father. and often
goes toward the support of the family.
If one of the modern woman s right fe-
males We're to accuse the rented japanese
girl OF lack of chastity. the former would
consider herself insulted. The young
Japanese girl IS described by Mr.. Held |
ring as almost too docile to be human. /
Her affection is that of an animal nature |
none OF the higher intellectual proper |
ties having any sway over her love max |
ing Some modern writer's were con- !
6emned for the misleading accounts of |
Platonic sentiment in the Japs: Mr.. Held /
ring advised the reading OF Pierre Lofts {
japanese tale if one desired the best de- /
fined description of their moral ethics.
Raymond Radcliffe, travelling under
special commission for such English dali
lies and periodicals as the Bullionist,
Sketch. Yorkshire Post, Money. North
British Daily Mail and Birmingham Daily
Post started last February on a tour of
the world in the interest of the papers
mentioned, during which time he has de-
voted himself TO letters on financial, po-
l.t.c2l and mining subjects, as found by
the writer in Australia, New Zealand
the Southern Pacific Islands of lesser note
and Hawaii. Before proceeding home
ward he will visit Cripple Creek
In the course Of a conversation at the
Knutsford yesterday Mr.. Radcliffe gave
a rapid account of the Coolgardic and
gold fields of Western AUS
ralia. He said the British had sunk
$500 0O0. 600 in that district alone and would
probably never regain it, While the ven
ture had proved a bad investment for
individual investors il was a good thing
for Australia for it had brought thou
sands of people TO her shores during the
last y months. Mr.. Radcliffe drove over
the entire area of these fields, Loco 900
square miles He was struck by two sal
lent characteristics. the weekly arrivals
Of 3.0o0 to 1909 and the remarkable purity
Of this gold, which brings SO per ounce {
The wages of laborers are exceedingly
high. Mr.. Radcliffe does not predict perr =
manency for these fields. He saw only 4
superficial gold-bearing soil while there
and does not believe the reefs viii i'm 7
prove at depth
New Zealand gold he found poor though ,
IA immense quantities. Mrs. Radcliffe
