The twenty prisoners were brought

manded the Judge, with propitious
smile. Guilty, yer honor" said the
crafty prisoner. "Well," said the Judge,
glancing benevolently about the room.

Japan's Great Ambition
Is to Become a Cred
itor Nation
By Baron KENyIRO DEN. japanese
House Of Peers


TT is not certain when this war
| will end, but it is quite certain
that if it lasts much longer for
eign holders of japanese securities
will be compelled to dispose of
them.
For this reason Japanese bonds
will decline in market value. When
this happens Japan should not hes
itate to purchase them.
JAPAN's AMBITION IN THE FL.
TURE MUST BE, As FAR As FL
NANCE IS CONCERNED. TO GET
RID OF THE HEAVY FOREIGN
DEBTS AND THEN BECOME A
CREDITOR NATION.
To attain such ambition it is first
of all necessary that the heavy debts
be paid off. The next important
step is to become a big industrial
country. There are pessimists who
say that the present business pros
perity is solely due to the circum-
stances created by the war and as
soon as peace is restored and Euro
pean industry resumes normal con-
ditions Japan will again be beaten
in competition.
The increased cost of production
in Europe after the war will be a
cause for increased exports from
Japan of various manufactured arti-
cles. THEREFORE THE TRADE
BALANCE WILL CONTINUE
FAVORABLE TO JAPAN FOR
MANY YEARS TO COME.
