JAPANESE TRADERS
Look to Los Angeles as Promising

SEATTLE, Dot. s.-A copy of the Japan
Kokumin received here contains an inter-
view with Mr.. Hoshi, formerly Minister to

says:
1T Is but natural that our trade with
China has been suffering In consequence
of the change of the currency system. A
gold standard cannot help being in dis
advantageous position. so far as the ex-
port trade to silver standard countries is
concerned. Hence the best markets for
our commodities must be sought on the
American continent. The existing means of
communication between America and ia
pan are far from being equal to the re-
requirements of the two countries"

to Japan's commerce at Los Angeles or

commodities to the southeastern part of
