JAPAN WOULD HELP CHINA
Baron Mitsui Speaks for Open
Door at Nippon Club.

Baron Hachiroyemou Mitsui is one Of the
new Japanese" even when it comes to
China. Japan has been so long regarded as
being in the position of holding down the
great, sleeping Yellow Empire that his au-
ditors were rather surprised TO hear the
baron say last night at the Nippon Club
that he was absolutely opposed to this
policy
Japan is now trying to encourage and
awaken China ne said. through his friend
and interpreter. DR.. T. Dan. We intend to
try TO preserve the entity OF that nation
and will endeavor TO prevent any European
or other foreign powers from encroaching
on its territory. Japan believes that the
open door must exist in China and will do
all that she can to coax foreign capital 10
enter by that gate.
Asked about Japan. the baron said that
the country was still greatly handicapped
by the war debt. but struggling TO pay it.
He scofred at any talk Of war with this
country, and said the only feeling appaT-
ent concerning IL was that Of genuine re-
gret at reports published in some of the
American newspapers.
We are studying American methods and
we would like 10 have commissions TO come
and look at what we are doing in manu-,
sources. II more OF them would come, there
would be war talk ar all he said.
The baron is something Of a world stu
dent, and has a scheme to regulate ''preda-
tory wealth" by means Of d graduated in
come tax. The rich man would be taxed
heavily. the poor man practically nothing,
and what you call criminal corporate abuse
in this country would not exist" he said,
before hc began talking about Corea, a
subject which he says is now interesting
all Japanese. He believes that the country
can and will be saved by irrigation along
American and Japanese methods and by
government development. Private capital
has experimental successfully already with
canals and dams
The baron went motoring yesterday
through all the parks, returning 10 the
Plaza TO luncheon and later TO the Nippon
Club, where he sat at an informal dinner
with Consul General Midzuno and others.
He has been here before. but that was
thirty years ago, and he says it is now a
new country to him Some one asked the
Baroness AIotoko Mitsui about the hobble
skirt. Size replied that IL was nothing new
in japan but that her daughter. Miss
NoTiko Mitsui. already had hankerings for
the new disappearing face hats.
Baron Mttsui will remain here until OC-
tober l, and viii have a conference with a
number of prominent financial men in New
y ork.
