IN ACKNOWLEDGED TRAIT or
JAPANESE MERCHANTS
They Have No Regard For Con-
traSS ST king Contrast With
Chinese 1raSSrS-

With the treaty OF peace. japan has
seen the accomplishment OF task
that has been the ambition OF the en-
pire-to hold front rank in the fam
lily OF nations. This has been brought
about through such military achieve
meats as have evoked The admiration
OF the civilized powers, but now II
seems that Japan has still before her
a problem which means harder work
and greater task than that which
she had before the commencement OF
the Russian-Japanese war.
That task. is to redeem the CONNER
cial reputation OF her traders, n repu-
tation which is not enviable. Joseph
Walton. a member Of the English Jar
iiament. = man who has spent much
time in travel aud knows the people oil

on the Orient:

Japan has occupied a very low piac'
