HOW WELL DO YOU
JUDGE YOUR WAYS ?

Arnold Bennett. the famous English
writer. says in an article In the Feb
ruary Woman's Home Companion
His own judgment of his fellows
is for the most part very detached
and unbiased. He discerns, for ex-
ample, their faults AZ plain faults
He Is not specially anxious to see onl,
the best in them. He watches a friend
come into a drawing room, and his
attitude toward that friend is neu-
trail attitude. Affection may induce
him to condone defects, but it will not
render the defects invisible, nor will II
prevent the secret evaporation which
defects sometimes cause, nor will it dc
away with the sense of the ridiculous.
But when he himself enters a draw
ing room. only in the rarest instances
does it occur to him that he may be
regarded in any manner as either ex-
aspcrating or ridiculous or as aught
but very decent, well-meaning indi-
vidual decidedly above the average
He has the notion that his fellows
have agreed to a most favored nation
clause for him. ana that they will take
unusual pains to understand the ex-
cellence of his intentions. and that
they will somehow hesitate before
judging him adversely. In word
that they will do their utmost to make
their own verdict upon him coincide
with his verdict upon himself

As War Result, Britain, In
stead Of Loaning, Bor-
rows From Japanese.

TOXIC correspondence of the AS
sociated Press -One of the most strk-
ing phenomena that the war has Gre
ated as regards Japan is her quick
shifting from debtor to Il creditor ma
ton. Since the Russo japanese war
the world has got accustomed to think
ing of the japanese empire as a Dor
rowing country. Now the tables are
turned and Great Britain, which loaned
money to Japan in the past, has actu-
ally come here for Il loan
The recent flotation in Japan of IA
British loan for 10000. GOO yen or $50
100000 was a great success. 4 few
days after the lists were opened to the
public the syndicate which had the is
sue in charge advertised that no more
incident showed there is plenty OF
available capital in Japan. The sue
cess of the British loan is to be altrb-
nted not only TO Japanese confidence
in British resources but also to the
preference by the Japanese public for
SiiOll iodllS. l ne English bDnQS are
redeemable in three years.
It is pointed out here that the finan-
cial assistance just rendered to Great
Britain is only p part of what has been
done for the entente allies since the
outbreak of the war. 1t is calculated
that japanese investments in bonds
and treasury notes issued by the en-
tente powers since the beginning of
hostilities total about 15,000, 600 yen or
s.a7. 500 600, exclusive of the recent
British loan.
Another significant feature of the
war period as regards finance has
been Japan's heavy payments abroad
of interest upon her own bonds and
even in partial redemption Of the same
This has been especially made posi-
bic by the nations heavy accumulation
Of specie, which has been due to a
heavy increase in Expectations
Japan's cash payments abroad in ad
dition to that for foreign securities
amont to 391,O00. 900 yen or sl91 500 VO1
since the Inauguration of the war and
9iitoSelilet japan mas PAID out III GaSf
since the war began the huge total OF
i,oO8,a31 900 yen or $500, 266.5O0. Add
ing to this the 200, 600, 900 yen or 500,
100000 by which the special holdings
of the empire have been increased
during the war period. about 1909 900,
600 yen or 5000. 900 900, represents the
cash balance TO Japan's credit in tho
International operations.
Commentin on this now financial sit
uation the Herald Of Asia which reflects
the opinion of the japanese business
world, makes the estimate that if Tho
war continues another year it wout
| be safe to place the probable total in.
flux of money from abroad at 1000, 900
600 yen, roughly speaking. or abou
S,00Oooo,00O. The journal even ex,
presses the opinion that before TIL,
world conditions shall nave rcturne,
to the normal, Japan may be able Il
wipe out her national debt in its en-
| tirety.
