Japanese government. who is now in

It was but recently that the scheme
was discovered and Mr.. Oyama hur-

dence here, he declared, to warrant
further inquiry and the matter may
be laid before United States officials.
It is said goods from this country.
particularly from industrial centers,
have been greatly undervalued and he
is convinced some high officials in
Japan are implicated In the plot, as

He expects to go to Canada, where
there are said to be ramincations Of
