JAPS INVEST FIFTY
MILLIONS IN AMERICA

New York. Nov. 22.-Withn the
last six months japanese merchants
and exporters have invested nearly
$50. 600 900 in American securities. ac
cording 10 estimates in banking
quarters
For the most part the securities
were bonds, largely underlying rail.
road issues. although substantial
part consisted of mortgage bonds Of
industrial companies returning a high
yield on the purchase price.
These investments are believed to
be the outgrowth of the shifts OF com
merce directly traeeable to the Eu.
ropean war. Japan has been shippin :
to the United States a great amount
of goods formerly manufactured by
Germany and at the same time eX-
ports of silk and other Far Eastern
products from Japan to this country
have been stimulated because of the
reduction in the European demand
AS consequence Japan's trade bal
ance in this country has been growing
steadily, producing credits which eth.
er had to be transferred to the owa-
er or put to use here The Japanese,
in the main. have chosen the latter
course.

HIS ANNUAL MESSAGE

Washington, Nov. ga call to
American business to meet unprece.
dented trade conditions after the war
is the keynote of President Wilson s
message to congress, just completed.
He believes the country's industries
can do a maximum amount of work
only when there is a minimum of in
dustrial unrest.
His message emphasizes this in an
appeal to employer and employe for
cooperation, confidence in each other
and less tendency to class feeling.
The president has formulated plans
for rendering strikes practically i'm
possible.
He will urge completion of pro-
gram similar to that proposed in his
last message to handle such situations
as the recent threatened strike of the
railway brotherhoods.
Believing the railway problem as
important a domestic issue as con
fronts the country, the president VIII
urge congress to give the most con
slant attention to possible legislation
that will relieve possible distress un-
der which they will be placed at the
close of the war.

Such action will take from liquor

Bryan said.
He acknowledged his change of mind
on the question of prohibition, saying
that he once voted for high license
and against state prohibition. adding:
But changed because found the
liquor interests would not adjust
themselves to any condition unless
