Japan's Wealth Grows With
Amazing Speed During War

dustries which have been created
! through the cessation OF German ex-
ports. A recent investigation by the
department Of commerce showed
nine new industries in existence as
the result OF the war. These are:
Dye stuhfs (Aniline salts and black
/ dyes). chemicals (subnitrate Of bis
muth. salicylic acid, antipyrin. ace
tate OF calcium and formalin): glass
wares; celluloid; paper: pulp; phos-
phOrus; potassium chloride. and
soda.
In view Of the enormous demands
OF the east for cotton clothing the
spinning industry is likely 10 reach
gigantic proportions This prospect
Of permanence is bulling cotton
shares at present more than any
others The export trade is specially
good Not only are sales 10 China
increasing but japanese goods are
now in possession OF Indian and Pa
cifc markets where British and Ger
man goods formerly held the field.
There are now in Japan 2,763, 900
spindles. owned by 80 companies
with a capital of 100000 and en-
ploying $4,000 workpeople.
Every year from now on Japan's
competition Will be felt with greater
severity in every market on the Pa
cihc. This competition is backed by
government support in every form
high protection at home and a policy
aimed at preventing the slightest
danger Of foreign control or even
foreign profit sharing in Japanese
industries. and abroad. subsidized
steamships. subsidized banks, pre-
ferential rates, and, not least, a high
~ organized consular service.
Both at home and in the Japanese
colonies and spheres OF influence
state railroads are at the service Of
japanese trade. Labor unions are
unknown. The family system spreads
the hardships Of industrial distress
over the whole population and pre-
vents the risk of unemployment and
food riots. The Industrial population
is docile TO a degree which no west
ern laborer can imagine or employer
can dream OF. factory regulations
are not in force and those that are
expected shortly will still permit of
hours at least 80 percent longer than
are in vogue in America.
