JAPAN INTENT ON SETTLEMENT
Last Official Act Of 1907 Sending Des-
patch TO washington.

Toxic, Jan. 1.-The despatch Of a
memorandum on the emigration question
By the foreign office to the American em-
bassy was tie last official act Of the
Japanese government in the year 1907.
This is considered to be significant Of a
desire on the part of the government to
commence the year 1905 under better
auspices. In fact, this has been admit
ted by an official Of the Japanese gov.
eminent, who said.
1--WE have every reason to believe that
the details of our administration and
future control Of the emigration question
viii be satisfactory to the American
government.
President Roosevelt wanted Japan to
act promptly and our memorandum Is
the result Of much careful work and in.
gestigation.
while doubtless some changes win BE-
made before the matter Il finally dis
posed Of, we are Of the opinion that the
last official act Of 1907 will make the
dawn Of 1908 brighter in both coun-
tries
a prominent Japanese official said:
It matters not whether America con
trolls immigration from Japan or Japan
controls emigration 10 America. Dill.
oulties must arise in administration.
Japan is now coping With a difficult sit
uation resulting from mistakes Of its
own administration in the past. We
have discovered the mistakes and we
tank that America should allow us 70
show that We are willing and able to
rectify them.a

Providence, r. L, Jan. 2.-.There was
no political significance attached to the

have entertained him had there been
anyone to take the initiative, but the
fact was that they had not kept them

thermore there was great uncertainty as

Frederick Roy Martin, editor of the
journal, and John X. Rathom, managing
editor, having learned that Secretary
Taft would arrive at o'clock and would
wait in the railroad station an hour to
connect with the New York train, wired
to Worcester and asked the secretary to
be their guest at the Hope club His
acceptance was received and Mr.. Martin

come to the club and meet Mr.. Taft.

Report Soon After Recess BY
Committee
EMERGENCY PROVISION
Currency Of 100000, ooo--Debate Expect
en- on Scope Of ollateral--Assistan
Treasurers May Be Advisers to
the Secretary.

Washington. D. c., Jan 2, Financial
legislation is assuming tangible form in
the minds OF those members of the SEN
ate committee on finance who are work
ing to that end, and they now hope to
be able to lay the draft Of measure be-
fore the committee at one OF its first
meetings after the holiday recess. The
chief feature Of the bill will be emer-
gency currency, national bank circula-
ton, secured by approved bonds, heavily
taxed, and the total issue to be Limited
to given sum. The present indications
are that the emergency currency will be
made subject TO a tax Of seven per cent,
with view to insuring its retirement
as soon s. the actual emergency has
passed, and that the total issue win be
limited to sl00,000.000.
A question which Is being seriously
considered is the adyisabiiity Of incor-
porating in the measure a provision that
each Of the eight assistant treasurers OF
the United States shall act as adviser
to the secretary Of the treasury in de-
termiHing what banks shall be permitted
60 avail themselves Of the privilege Of is
suing the emergency currency authorized.
This idea was first embodied in a propo-
sition To make the various clearing
houses advisers of the secretary. but
inasmilch as the clearing houses are NOT
recognized by law, and have therefore no
legal status, the proposition has now
been altered to make the assistant treas
urers the secretary's advisers. This fea.
ture involves the division OF the United
States into eight banking districts, in
each of which the assistant treasurer
sof the United States shall be the ar.
bitter regarding the issue II emergency
currency by the several banks within
his district.
The most difficult feature Of the meas
ure vet to be determined is the scope OF
securities which shall be accepted as
collateral for the proposed circulation.
The necessity Of extending the scope be-
yond the UTated States bonds Is unani.
mously recognized Naturally the next
step Ii to include state, county and mu
nicipal bonds under proper restrictions.

tain interests, however, 70 have the list
Of acceptable collateral include long

Information from the House Is 10 the
effect that when the Senate has adopted
a measure along the lines indicated it
will receive favorable consideration and
reasonably prompt action in the lower
chamber The subcommittee Of the
committee on banking and currency is
"mulling over some form Of financial
legislation" to quote Speaker Cannon,
