BARON SAKATANI
TO TACKLE TASK
OF AIDING CHINA

Tokio.-Baron Yoshiro Sakatani,
former mayor of Toxic, who is
well-known in the United States,
has left for China to take up the
post of the highest financial adviser
to the Chinese government, in
which capacity he will make spe-
cial efforts for the solution of the
long standing question of currency
system reform
1t is believed that the quintuple
loan syndicate representatives have
approved the engagement of Baron
Sakatani, recognizing his undisput-
ed capacity for the solution of diff
cult questions.
Baron Sakatani was long in the
service of the finance department,
holding notwithstanding between
1901 and 1906, when he was made
minister of that department, hold
ing the post till 1908.
In 1911 he represented Japan at
the international economics confer
ence in Berlin. In June, 1912, he
was elected mayor of Toxic. Baron
Sakatani greatly contributed to the
adoption of gold standard in Japan.
