Peace Dove Japs' Friend.
Japan" the minister went on,
therefore being on cordial terms
with all the powers, it must be admit
ted that the maintenance of peace,
which is the one principal object of
our foreign policy, is now practically
assured; and we are enabled to devote
our endeavors to the development of
our national resources. The first point
claiming our attention is the problem
of emigration
I'm view of the new international
conditions assigned to Japan it has
become necessary that our people, in
stead of scattering in foreign lands,
shall concentrate in the far east, thus
securing a united effort looking to le-
Ultimate activities and avoiding every
thing likely to obstruct the develop

industry.

These considerations have led the
government to follow an avowed pol

in perfect good faith the restrictions
placed on emigration"
Count Komura concluded his speech
by announcing that the imperial gov
eminent had decided to notify the va
riOus powers next year of the ter
mination of existing commercial treat
les, to be effective one year after such
notice was given. He said that it was
the intention of the government to ne

any unequal engagements" 1.-The new
