Japan Doubts War Will
Hurt Trade with u. S.
America Not Likely to Enter
Into Actual Warfare,
Minister Says

Washington, May 11.-According to
a statement received here, and which
was made in Japan by the japanese
Minister of Finance, Shoda. tn' I'nan-
csc government does not expect Amer
ican-Japanese trade 10 be lts-c..e. "
the war, and also does not expect to
see the United States go far IN the
actual conflict. This is the statement:
THE participation OF the United
States in the war ia not likely TO have
much effect on Japanese trade with
that country. There are some VINO an.
ticipate a falling off in the export Of
raw silk, as a result of the entrance
u the United States into the arena.
"There is good reason to believe
however, that the situation will not al
feet trade to any appreciable extent
IS the United States IS not likely TO
enter far into the actual warfare.
Lately relations between the United
States and Japan have undergone con
siderable improvement. For long
time the United States had been sus-
pecting Japan's attitude toward her,
nut of late she seems 70 have dispelled
her suspicious of Japan to a large eX.
tent. owing to the latter's change OF
attitude toward China. At presen.
there are many in official and business
circles in the United States who arc
in favor of carrying out economic en-
terprises in China jointly with Japan
csc capitalists"
The Finance Minister predicted a
billion yen export trade for Japan
during the current year, and discussed
Japan's financial aid TO the Allies, say
ing:
The total amount of the export
trade for the current year is estimated
by the government at 500,OOO,OOO yen
but if freight and insurance premiums
be added to this, the total may reacn
8OOOOO.0OO. This is based on a most
conservative estimate, and 1t is not a.
all improbable that this years export
trade will 1otal 100000, 600 yen.
Investments in foreign countries re-
ouire careful and judicious handling
The payment for war supplies sold to
some allied countries by Japan has nor
vet been settled. and it will be neces,
sary for these countries to be supplied
with funds. Japan may be called upon
10 give further financial assistance 20
Russia. Great Britain and France. Fl
nancial aid between nations, as be-
tween individuals, will have a marked
effect in bringing them into closer
touch. ;.
"The satisfaction and good feeling
aroused among the British people, ow-
ing to Japan's acceptance Of the 100,
600 900 yen British loan, may be cited
in support of this contention. IL Is ad-
visable that Japan should give the Al
lies as much assistance as she can, as
there is no doubt that the conclusion
Of the war will bring her ample com
pensation for what she has done. what
is most desirable in existing circum.
stances is the extension by Japan OF
foreign exchange business, as this WI
give great convenience to the people
Of the Allied countries
