giving the allies every assistance at
its command, and the special fund
needed for that purpose reaches no
outbreak of the war, our national
treasury was in such fine condition
that we did not have to seek spec
ial source in defraying those expen-
ses. But what the close of the war
will bring no one knows except the
prospect that the expenses will only
increase. The government, therefore,
is at present considering the ways
and means to solidify the foundation
of our wartime finance"
That Japan was continuing to en-
joy great material prosperity was
shown, he said, by the fact hat up to
the middle of May the excess OF ex-
ports over imports had reached the
total of about s1O,OOO,OOO or about
three times as great as the previous
year for the same period This had
brought about an over-supply of mon
ey which constituted great problem.
The way of disposing of this surplus
money could not be definitely out
lined in days like these when the
world finance is full of sudden
changes.
"The investment of our capital in
China" he went on, 'is indispensable
in realizing the economic cooperation
between Japan and China For that
purpose the financial organs must be
unified and readjusted and coopera
tive enterprises of Japanese and
Chinese must be encouraged. II
should be remembered, however, that
the interests of the two people should
be promoted for their common good
and conflicts should be avoided as fal
as possible"

JAPAN PLANNED TO MAKE
RUSSIA A LOAN

Toxic. June 26.-Japan was nego-
tiating with Russia to make war
loan to that country when the revolu-
tion interrupted the pourparlers, said
Kazuye Shoda, Japan's Minister of FL
nance, to the correspondent Of The
Associated Press while discussing
Japan's proposed financial assistance
to the Entente powers. The Minis
ter did not say whether the interrupt
ed negotiations would be resumed.
The minister previously stated that
his country was negotiating to make
loans to Great Britain and France.
He could not fix the amounts, but he
expressed the opinion that the finan-
cial aid to the Entente, supplementing
Japans dispatch of fleet of warships
to the Mediterranean Sea. showed
that Japan was doing everything in
her power to help the Allies success
fully prosecute the war
He declared that loans to the al
lies and the contemplated purchase of
Entente securities held in the United
States would tend to check the out
flow of gold from the United States
to Japan which apeared to be caus-
ing some apprehension in the United
States. The contemplated purchase
of securities was not to be an official
operation. 1t was being arranged by
a group of important banks, includ-
ing tn Yokohama Specie Bank. the In
dustral Bank of Japan, and leading
financiers of Osaka.

Mr.. Shoda, referring to the movement
of gold from the United States to
Japan. that the importation of specie
is generally regarded as a disadvan-
tageous operation"

ALLIE ANGLE GETS JOB
AND SAYS WAR WILL STOP

Tampa Tribune: rael
news-good news, too. The Europe
an war will end some time next
month
"Whaddyemean, next month";" you
ask.
Here's how it's going to happen.
Allie j. Angle has been recommended
by the Quartermaster-G General at
Washington for appointment as .
quartermaster in the army. either
with rank of major or captain, option
al with the President.
When the appointment is made and
confirmed and Allie sets forth to take
up the duties of the office-bang! The
war will be over.
II is inconceivable and would be en-
tirely unprecedented if Angle should
actually take possession of public
office. Everyone he has been ap-
pointed to SO far has been abolished
or has "petered out" before he could
enjoy any of the remuneration or dig
nifty thereof. So. unless all prece-
dents are set aside, this office which
Angle is about to receive will be abol-
ished before he gets it-and only the
end of the war will bring about the
abolishing of this job-so, presto! the
war will end in the next few weeks
that is to say when the President
sends in the Appointment and the Sem
ate confirms it.
