JAPAN GOES AFTER THE
 TRADE
By Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, l9- Inn portant among the many missions from Japan which have visited the United States during the past several months is the Honorary JapaneS@ Commercial Mission which arrived in San Francisco, and which now is wis iting commercial ceaterS Of this country This mission, headed by Rej- 20 YamaShima, vice president of the Tokio Chamber of Commerce, and S. Sheba, prominent business man of To- kio and honorary secretary of that organization, has as it's purposes the study of commercial organizations throughout the United States, as we'll as commercial, financial and ecOno- mic conditions.
 At a conference with San Francis co Chamber of Commerce officials, the problem of credit information for American merchants desiring to do business with firms in Japan was brought up. At the present time there is no available agency such as exists in America in the firms of Dun and BradStreeet in Japan but the subject was promised earnest consideration by YamaShima.
 Assurance was given by Yamashima that Japan desired American business to enter this trade side by side with her merchants. It was the firm con yiction of the trade mission that Am erica and Japan should have proper banking facilities in the Orient. With American and Japanese prestige, tn question of currency exchange in Ch:- na could be adjusted and the present system of high costs eliminated, it was contended.
 Suggestions was made that an eN- change of items for publicity by the chambers of TolIio and San Francisco would work to the advantage of both. Information furnished by the cham bers of Japan could be given circulat ion and exchange of items and view should be encouraged.
 Yamashima expressed himself as interested in an exchange of views through publicity and in furtherahce of the idea of close acquaintanceshir expressed the hope that more Ameri' can merchants would visit Japan anc the Orient.
