EMBASSY
INFORMED OF DISORDERS

WASHINGTON, August l9.-The Jap
anese embassy to-day received official
notification of the food riots and ac-
companying disorders reported through
out Japan.
Little credence is placed here in the
reports that the riots indicate opposi-
tion to the government.
TROUBLES BELIEVED TO
DE PURELY ECONOMIC
On the contrary, State Department.
nnd other officials believe them 10 be
purely economic. and therefore not at
tributable 10 that small faction in Jap
anese political life which opposed the
sending Of troops to Siberia. The sit
uation is serious. and observers Of Jap
unese affairs think the government Is
face to face with the gravest internal
economic problem in the nations his
tory.
Japan, they pointed out. is expert
encing the aftermath of war prosperity
and all the resulting evils of great
wealth and great poverty. Three ways
are open for her in the solution of this
problem, and these, it is believed in
official circles. are the following:
/. The government, through the an
nounced appropriation of $4,000, 900 and
the Mikados gift OF 100000 yen. to
go in the open market and purchas Sc
rice for the purpose of breaking the
corner that has brought the suffering.
. Formation of food commission
shaped on the lines OF the American
food administration. with absolute
price fixing powers.
8. a taxation program that will reach
the "narikins"-the war millionaires Of
the island kingdom, and thus make
them bear their proportionate share of
the nations burdens.
PROFITEERS HAVE LARGE
SUPPLIES IN STORAGE
The price Of rice in Japan has in
creased so per cent in the last year.
The last two months saw an even
greater increase. There was surplus
crop this year in addition, but the profi-
teers have great quantities of the
cereal stored. and in this manner have
kept up the price.
If the Japanese government sees fit
to break the market" it can pur-
chase Tice in Cochin China. Burma and
the Philippines, providing permission to
seek the latter market is given by the
United States. The present regula-
tions include food on the restricted list.
but this ban would no doubt be re-
moved If an emergency existed in
Japan.
Up TO two months ago. however.
when Japan forbade further exporta-
tion Of rice. great shipments were re-
ceived in this country. Most of them
due to our iron-bound import restric-
tions. were landed at a Pacific port
and shipped in bond to the Gulf coast
for shipment to the West Indies, then
Japan's market. We allowed this
method Of shipment in order to con-
serve tonnage for the Japanese gov
crnment
