WANTS JAPAN FREE OF DEBT
Leading Peer Says War Offers Chance
To BE a Creditor Nation.

Toxic, Nov. 19.-"Be creditor coun-
try" is the slogan Of Baron Kenjiro
Den, a prominent member of the House
Of Peers. The baron, IN an interview,
expresses wonder why Japan's financial
authorities do not believe in the ad-
visibility Of the redemption of foreign
debts at this opportunity. He says that
the present not only the best chance
for Japan 70 liquidate her foreign debt
but also the time 10 repurchase any
domestic bonds which have passed into
the hands Of foreigners.
The baron thinks that increased cost
Of production in Europe after the war
VIII be a cause for increased exports
from Japan Of manufactured articles.
Therefore he believes that the trade
balance will continue fayorsbly TO this
country for many years.
