Apuntes del Jap0n
(Por Mr.. Curtis, corresponsal
del GAobo)
Ell EMPREETITo DEL JAPoN

Ell error mas grande que ha come
tido el Jap6n en- toda su historic ha
sido la reciente negotiation de un en-
prestito extranjero. Ell Gobierno ig-
noraba su fuerza fnanciera. Los bo-
nos fueron emitidos un precio mas
bajo y con un interes mas elevado de
10 que era necesario, y las rentas de
sduanas Sc ofrecieron como garantia
de pago, sin que Sc exigiesen.
Fue una fortuna y una desgracia Ell
que el emprestito 10 hiciesen tan pc
queno, solo de 100 millones de pesos.
Sc divide entire Londres y New York,
$50. .ooo.o 900 en- cada ciudad, que faeron
cubiertos cincuenta veces, adquirien.
do premio en- ell acto. En- Inglaterra
la suscripci6n Sc elev6 a 531,ooo,ooo de
libras. Los banqueros que arreglaron
ell negocio hicieron una enorme can't
dad de djnero.
Pudieron he Der veudids 100000, 900
de pesos a 4 por 100 de interes, bonos
a la par; pero Sc hmitaron los Glen
millones de pesos y ell Gobierno no
tiene NADIA mas que ofrecer como ga
rantfa en- case de que Sc haga otro
emprestito.
Desde otro punto de vista, la transa-
cion fue afortunada. Ha demostrado
la fuerza fnanciera de un pals que
nunca habfa ofrecido sus bones en- un
mercado extranjero, y hace palpa bic el
credito del Gobierao en- el pals en- el
extrs micro.
A raiz de este emprestito Sc hizo
otro en- el Imperio, en- terminos mas
altos, y la Confanza p1blica en- Ell Te-
soro de la nacion es completa. Ell
)apon, sin embargo, necesitara mas di-
nero y tendra que hacer habiles name
jos hnancieros para obtenerlo. A sus
funclonarlos Sc les ha dicho que la me-
jor manera de salir del atolladero es la
de comprar sus propios bonos a cual-
quier preclo que tenga que pagarlos, y
cancelarlos. para levantar la hipoteca
sobre las rentas de Aduanas.
Tai vez este Sc pueda hacer sin rui-
do alguno; pero per supuesto, que la
demanda de bonos aumentara inme-
diatamente ell valor de los mismos.
Sc hacen acusaciones y recrimi-
naciones respecto a la response bilidad
que pueda alguno tener en- ell disparate
cometido; pero no Sc lie puede echar la
culpa nadie.
Lo Ocurrido fue simplemente, que
los consejeros fnancieros del Gobierno
no supieron apreciar la simpatia y
confianza de que goza ell Jap6n en-
otros paises.

SeS no eS rico. Sus recursoS son COM

IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS.

Advertisers who desire to reach the
greatest number of readers, who adyer-
tise for business and not simply as a
matter of habit regardless OF conse-
ouences, should bear in mind that
the Journal Miner has the largest cir
cuIation of any paper published in
Prescott. Accordingly advertising
space is worth more, based on circula-
ton than in any other paper.
This is no idle boast but can be
verified by an examination of the

to permit an examination of its books
and mailing galleys, 30 demonstrate
this fact
