KATSURA OUTLINES POLICY
New Premier of Japan Says Time to
Halt Has Come.
SEES WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTIES
But Federal Government Must POST
pOne Some of the Enterprises
Upon which IL Has
Entered.

TOXIC, Sept 1o.-Marquis Katsura, the
new premier and minister of finance, out
lined a policy of rigid economy for Japan
in an address tonight before the Bankers
club. He declared that the patriotism of
the people OF Japan was as necessary now,
when economy was necessary to restore
credit and confidence, as during the Rus
sian-Japanese war, when he was foreign
minister. Upon returning to office, the
marquis declared that he had found the
economical and financial conditions OF the
government as yet unrestored and it was
therefore absolutely necessary that the gov
ernment and people unite in common ef-
fort in the rational interest.
Dealing with subjects in the Department
of Finance, the premier continued:
Existing conditions show that the per-
manent revenues are less than the perma-
nent expenditures ard therefore national
loans have been floated to meet the de-
ficiencies. but the time has been reached
when the government finds difficulty In
borrowing the sums necessary for this pur-
pose. Consequently it is time for the ma
ton to call halt In order TO restore conf
dence. A complete balance between the ma
tional income and the national expenditures
must be effected
Since receiving my appointment l have
Investigated the situation thoroughly and
have determined, with the help Of the en-
tire country, to place It's finances on d
sound basis by effecting a complete re-
adjustment of expenditures.
Despite what l have already said, the
fact remains that the national finance is
stil comparatively firm and it has never
been so weak and unreliable as has been
represented in some quarters. The situa-
! tion, II properly handled, presents no ele-
ment of danger. The works undertaken by
the government cannot be altogether post
poned, but the period for carrying them
