Toxic. March 15.-The Government of
Japan. finding that the self-imposed
burden of nationalized railroads Is
likely to prove too heavy. is now en-
gagged in consideration of tentative
projects for relieving itself and at the

of building up the industries of the
country. providing additional exports
for it's subsidized steamship lines, and
increasing it's own income by the reve-
nues deriyable from increased produc-
tion. To the layman nothing presents
so dificult problem at the present as
that OF high finance in Japan.
The tremendous outlay in army and
navy has been and still continues to be
the point on which statesmen, poIiti-
clans and fnanciers are quarrelling.

the financiers who have undertaken the

engineers and railroad men from for
