account Of an outbreak of cholera
there: however. the meeting was post
poned.
Japan will be in the tfroes Of a
general election next May Mr.. Miyako
said. There is. however. no big ques-
tion up. The navy matter apparently
does not bother the people in the land
OF the Rising Sun, the cabinet being
content to keep DIP the present sea
strength without pursuing policy Of
enlargement. What will be done in
future. however. is a subject for de-
bate. Military training is compulsory,
the army being selected from the total
able bodied adult population.
In reply to question as to the
status of Korea, Mr.. Miykao replied
that 1t had now been placed under a
governor-general, and was a dominin-
ion like Canada. The Japanese gov
ernment was taking no stand in the
Chinese revolution he further stated,
Just looking on without Interference
as nothing except perhaps Japanese
trade with China was affected.
Apropos Of trade. Mr.. Mtyako said,
Japan was anxious to secure both
Canadian trade and friendship as It
had heard Of the business progress
that characterized the merchants of
the Dominion.

THE PULP TARIFF
+ WILL NOT DOWN
Canadian Agreement Opens
Way For Free Trade
From Other Nations

Washington. Dec. 29-American
pulp and print paper manufacturers
are bringing pressure to bear upon
President Taft to induce him to refuse
Ito yield to the demand of certain Eu-
ropean governments for the free ad-
mission of their pulp and print paper
on terms of equality with the Cana
dian product. The disposition of the
administration has been to let this
matter be determined by the courts.
but as this involves long delay the
diplomatic protestants are by no
means satisfied and are adopting
measures to show their resentment.
Count Won Bernsdorff, the German
ambassador, has informed the state
department that Germany would not
accord to American exporters the re-
duced duties on tool steel and hard
rubber accorded to Swedish and Jap
anese exporters. under their special
treaties. because America did not ad-
init German wood pulp and print pa
per free of duty.
The ambassador was reminded that
the German exporters would not suf-
fer by the delay If their claim was
just. because they had paid the duties
into the American treasury under pro-
test which gives them the right to re-
cover in case the court of customs ap.
peals should decide In their favor, as
is expected.
1t was thought at first this explana-
ton was sufficient but it now appears
that the ambassadors statement is
new protest against the failure Of the
administration to adjust the matter
automatically, instead Of judicially.
In view Of the peculiar conditions
under which Canadian pulp and pa.
per got on the free list in spite Of
the failure OF the reciprocity measure.
some consideration is being given to
the propriety of leaving to congress
the adjustment of the international
difficulties that have arisen.
