JAPAN WANTS TRADE.
Baron Ishy Says She Will Welcome 1t
From Anywhere.

Toxic, June 12.-Baron Ishy in his
first speech in his new capacity as vice
foreign minister addressing joint
meeting of the chamber of commerce
now in session at Toxic gave an earn
est view Of his attitude towards for
eigners trading with Japan. when he
warned the chambers to avoid antag-
onizing foreign trades. Minister Ishy
pointed out that new treaties would be
effected in August, 1911. but that the
proposals which must be drawn by
June, 1909, would almost exclusively be
confined to the customs tariff. The
peculiar position of Japanese owing &c
the persistent campaign of misrepre-
sentation of her motives necessitated
the most careful work in framing these
proposals.
He said that fear was already ex-
pressed among foreign merchants thai
revision would result in the creation
of prohibitive tariffs against foreign
manufacturers.
Continuing Minister Ishy said that
the world should be made to under
stand that Japan welcomed foreign
trade and would encourage it by every
fair means. He invited the co-opera-
ton of the chambers and hoped they
would offer suggestions regarding the
revision of the tariff.
