Japan Plans to Reduce
Flow of Gold from u. S

Toxic. May 29.-The heavy movement
of gold from the United States to Japan
was explained to-day by Kazue Shods,
Minister of Finance, as being due prin-
cipally to the fact that the indebted
ness of Great Britain and France 10
Japan is being paid partially through
America. VI. Shoda revealed the fact
that Japan is now negotiating with
Great Britain and France with the
purpose Of making war loans 10 them,
while private Japanese concerns. in
GLIDING the Specie and industrial banks.
are planning the purchase OF British
and French securities held in the Unit
ed States. These operations will reduce
the outflow of American gold and re-
lieve the burden of Japan's accumulat-
ing supplies.
VI. Shoda emphasized the fact that
the trade balance was not an exact
gauge of the situation, pointing out
that Japan now has yearly income OF
800 900 900 yen from abroad IN the
form of ocean freights. insurance and
remittances from japanese in other
countries. He also called attention to
the fact that British discount restric..
tions made necessary the sending OF
specie TO India in settlement OF the I'M
portation yearly of cotton TO the value
of 200. 900 900 yen.

Farmers Organizations
Help Canadian Agriculture

The steady growth OF the agricult-
ural industry in the Western provinces
of Canada is evident from various an
nual returns, Of which those showing
the results Of the operations Of farm
ers' organizations and of the distribu-
ton of cattle from the Winnipeg stock
yards are especially significant. The
farmers organizations have $4,000
shareholders, a paid-up capital Of NOR;
than 100000. and assets of more
than $4,000 900. Although the 1916
crop was unusually light, these com
panies handled 90,o00.000 bushels, or
one-third of the marketable portion OF
the grain raised; the profits aggregated
sl,si4,00 and OF this amount 100000
will be paid 10 the government under
the provisions of the business prohts
war tax act
Through these cooperative associa-
tions efforts are being made TO encour-
age mixed farming and the acquisition
of more livestock.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-30

Plenty Of signs are beginning to
appear to show that in the steel
trade at least business is not "as
usual" The huge requirements of
the government have been given
preference over all other orders, and
private consumers have been forced
to retrench, not only because of in
ability to get supplies, but also be-
cause of the higher prices prevail
ing and the falling off in demand for
certain products. "The Iron Age"
reports that the expected contrac-
ton in the demand for steel for au-
tomoDiles has materialized. Opera
tons are being curtailed by manu-
facturers of pleasure cars, who have
not only refrained from placing new
orders, but in cases asked that ship
ments on contracts previously made
be withheld, thus indicating that peo
pie are commencing to economize.
1The Iron Trade Review" says:
Centralized direction Of the iron
and steel business in the interest of
more perfect mobilization of gen
eral industry for war purposes grows
with each passing week. Production
in primary lines is facilitated and is
untouched by Federal authority, but
in distribution control is becoming
more and more complete. To sim
liar degree open market sales of
steel products are narrowed. Con-
tracts are refused widely, as mills
are unwilling TO increase their obi
cations 10 the trade until order
books arc further cleared. New gen
eral business is kept to minimum.
The retrenchment among consumers
ie reflected in a falling off of mill
specifications in various lines"

Record Standard
Oil Dividends
Cash Payments for Second
Quarter to Exceed
$26,OOO,OOO

Standard Oil companies in the sec
ond quarter Of this year will have paid
out S26,42S,25 in cash dividends. ac-
cording TO figures compiled by Dow.
Jones e. Co. This is a record out of
current earnings. but the amount has
been exceeded twice heretofore, when
payments were made out of accumulat-
ed funds.
In the second quarter of 1915 total
dividend distributions of more than
$4,000, 900 included special payments
by the National Transit Company and
the Colonial Oil Company. The other
period was the third quarter Of 1918.
when the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey declared an extra dividend
Of S39O0O.O00.
Standard Oil stock dividends for the
second quarter of 1917 aggregate
S2S,000,000 par value. consisting of
$25000,000 as a 80 10 per cent pay
ment by the Standard Oil Company Of
California and S3.000000 as a 100 per
cent dividend by the Standard oil Com
pany of Kentucky. Total cash and
stock dividend payments for the second
quarter are therefore more than
S54.000,000.
The largest individual distribution
for the current quarter is by the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey,
which will pay out s4,9l6.000. The
Ohio oil Company. with a dividend of
$780, 900. is second. Other large pay

Fornosan Bank

Will Operate in Foreign
Exchange as Aid to
Trade with Japan

As result of the steady increase
in trade between the Far East and the
United States since the war began,
japanese interests back of the Bank
of Taiwan, Formosa. announced yes
terday, through Kenji Imanishi. their
representative here, their intention of

Yesterday, sis that commerce between

do rot myself know. that 80 per cent
OF the business of Japan is done with
America. Enormous business is now
being transacted between the two
countries. but much more would be
ACCOMPLISHED were il not far the fact
that the lack of ships for transporta
ticn has raised the cost of freight and
insurance on merchandise TO an al
most prohibitive rate. We no longer
have any fear of our ships in the Pa
cifc, hut war has drawn from the Pa
cifc merchant service a great number
OF vessels.
although We have four or five big
shipyards and number OF small ones
working to their capacity on ships. we
must obtain the iron. steel and other
material for their construction from
America. and the lack of tonnage is
an important obstacle. Considerable
lumber is being brought into Japan
from the State Of Washington. but you
are well aware OF the difficulty ex-
leiionced in securing iron and steel
quickly and in quantities needed for
the rapid construction Of our merchan,
marine.
"lr spite Of this transportation
problem, our business with your coun-
try is going ahead. There is no rea-
son Why we should not do muc
greater business with the United
States. We can get in your count

Tuesday, May 20, 1917

The movement of gold from the
United States to Japan apparently
will be larger than was estimated IN
the beginning. Reliable information
places the total amount Of the metal
to be exported to that country IN
the next three months at about $780,
100000. Apparently this movement
is causing the Treasury Department
much concern, and it is reported that
the government may endeavor to ar
rest the free flow of the metal. That
would be a grave mistake, and 1t IS
hoped that no such action will be
taken. In the first place, even IN
the face of the changed conditions
brought about by our entry into the
war. the loss of the amount of gold
necessary to settle the whole Jap
anese balance in trade with the
United States would be relatively in
significant, and could be spared from
our vast store of the metal without
perceptible effect upon the domestic
credit structure. But, regardless of
that. we have no right to withhold
settlement of the balance in the only
money which has international cur
rency-that is, in gold. That is the
way Japan settled with this country
when the balance was running heav-
ily against her during the Russo
japanese War. 1t is the way we
should pay to the extent that Japan
demands payment in that form. We
have been insiStent enough upon
getting gold for the goods we have
sold to the Allies. Moreover, thirty
months ago, when the great war had
lust begun and American obligations
were falling due abroad, it was
urged on all sides that we must set
tie in gold, not only because it was
imperative if we were to maintain
our high credit standing, but as
matter of honor. There is not the
slightest intrinsic difference between
a debt owed to Japan and one owed
to Europe. 1t is just as incumbent
upon us to liquidate our debt In
whatever manner japan may specify.
But there is a much more impor-
tant phase of the matter than that.
During the last two years we have
unexpectedly attained a position OF
supremacy in international finance.
1t is important that we should hold
that position. We have boosted of
our great trade with other nations
and have prepared for the conquest
of new fields when peace is restored.
But we shall neither maintain our
financial supremacy nor hold our
trade unless this remains a free
market for gold. We could not i'm
pose our own terms for the exchange
of goods on the rest of the world
even if it were proper to attempt
to do so. Not even the European
belligerents have refused payment in
gold when that was demanded, in
spite of their urgent need of the
metal to sustain the huge pyramids
of credits and currency which have
been erected in financing the war.
