JAPANESE HERE
ON DECEMBER s
Commercial Commissioners viii
Be Guests of Chamber
of Commerce.


On or about December 6 the mem
bers of the party comprising the Jap
anese commercial commissioners from
Japan to the United States will arrive
in Honolulu. The chamber of commerce
is arranging to entertain the party, and
on behalf of the local body Consul.
General Uyeno has extended to the com
mssioners an invitation to be the
guests of the chamber during their
brief stay in this city. A. Gartley, of
the chamber of commerce, is chairman
of the committee arranging for their
reception.
These commissioners are visiting the
United States not only as representa-
tives of the commercial bodies of Japan,
but, in large measure, as representing
the government of that empire. Inc
commissioners are headed by Baron
Shibusawa, who is not unknown to the
United States, as he went to the main
land several years ago to make study
of commercial organizations, and it is
largely through his influence that cham
bers of commerce were organized in
Japan. AS organizations there, they
are patterned somewhat after those of
the United States, although they are
more closely associated with the gov
eminent than similar bodies are here
and DIN the mainland.
Tho japanese commissioners are ac-
complained by fifteen trade experts and
by three noted educators of Japan-one
of the latter being Baron Kanda, pro-
fessoIr of the Peers School.
Thq following are the names and bust
ness connections of the commercial com
