Inauguration come in contact with the

those VINO nave secured lodging simply.
The committee has also acted as an agent
between those who have accommodations
and those who want them. and has been
also confronted with the duty of securing
quarters when requested for visiting civic
organizations. All quarters registered of

fed as to class and location, and since noon

ON A LOW PLANE.
Japanese Commercial Morality Said to BE
Below Par.

Japanese COmmerctal Morality Salu 10 DO
Below Par.
1t has long been known to those who
had dealing with the japanese that
commercial morality in Japan stands
almost on the lowest plane possible to a
civilized people With few exceptions
even those Japanese who prove estima-
BILE and high minded in all other matters
are not to be trusted in business transac-
ton. In Japan the man who fails to
take advantage of his neighbor in bar
gain is looked upon as a fool. The ex-
PLANTATION of this state of things given
by Robert Young, who edits Kobe pa
per. is that merchants in Japan have
hitherto occupied the lowest rung on the
social ladder, being deemed inferior to
the tillers of the soil and but little above
the pariah class. Up to comparatively
recent period trader was but another
name for trickster and the pursuit OF
commerce was held to argue lack Of
integrity.
With changed commercial conditions
this low standard seems TO have re.
NAMED unaltered, so that the japanese
trader is always thinking how he car
best" the foreigner, and he will not
