A Jap Amazed at a Visit in Wall Street.


 Baron oura, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce of Japan, who k spend- ing a few days in New York on his way home from the Japanese exhibition in London, paid visit 10 Wal street last Friday and came back amazed.
 "Never have seen anything like il, he said.
 alt seems to me you must have q wonderful physical strength 10 endure the pace you set. We Japanese have endurance, but We could not endure your business life-Me should die or go mad Your great Roosevelt called it the strenuous life, but 1 should call 1t the speedy life
 aThere k no need for the Americans to be jealous of the Japanese eommer- ciaily. The Japanese merchant can never catch up with the American. In matters Of finance il seems to me that you have nothing to fear from any na- ton in the world. Personally do mol care for so much speed You work until you become the most highly organized of machines, but still machines devoid of feeling for much that makes life worth while. 'tGreatly do admire the independ. ence of your women. l do not know much about your political conditions, but il woald seem only logical for your women to possess equal political rights when in all other ways they | have equal powers. Japanese feeling l toward America Is almost afiectionate War will never come unless Anne rica starts it.
