One remark he made struck me very for
chilly. This was to the working power
Of the Japanese people. Said he: You for
eigners do not appreciate the number of
persons we have here IN Japan, who can do
good work. 1 visited the United States
and 1 know something .of the Industrial
conditions there. You can multiply our
population by two in comparing it with
yours as far as such matters are concern
ed. In your country aonly the men werk
Here the women formaa good working half
of our people. You viii ind them engaged
in all sorts of factories. Our children
also do a great dealIand this altogether
gives us a large working force"
The Marquis Ito was to a large extent
the author of the banking system of ia

he made to the United States under a com
mission from the emperor. He had there
studied our financial system, and had be-
come SO well pleased with 1t that he had
