eign advisers is a striking evidence Of
growing japanese conviction that Japan
is now able to deal with foreign ma
lions in her own way and through the
medium of her own people. 1t is an in

DESTROYS to increase her trade relations
with the United States and American
business men here regard this as a
powerful incentive TO establish her
friendship with America on solid and
lasting footing. Now that she has
taken an important part in the expo
sition at san Francisco, Japan's lead
ing business men are arranging 10 send
a delegation Of prominent merchants TO

Of the desire for wider relations It
is expected that baron Shibusawa, who

visit other parts Of the United States.
