Japanese Funds
Here Bought by
Imperial Govt
Inability to Export Gold
Led Nippon Bankers
to Act

Finding it impossible to transfer
their large balances in the United
States to Japan because Of the strict
embargo on gold exports, the leading
Japanese banking institutions which
maintain agencies in this country, have
entered into an arrangement with the
imperial Japanese government whereby
the latter is to purchase a portion of
such balances, paying for the same in
Japanese funds in Japan. Announce
mcnt to this effect was made yester-
day by Akira Den, financial commits
sioner of the Japanese government in
New York. To provide for the purchase
of such balances n loan of 1OO,0OO,0OO
yen ($50,000,000) has Just been hoated
in Japan. Details of the operation are
given in the following cabegram from
the imperial Japanese government re-
ccived here yesterday:
Trade Settlement Hard
Since the United States prohibited
tho export Of gold last September,
settlement of the trade balance in
1avor OF Japan has become very diff
cult. The amount of the exchange
bills owned by the Yokohama Specie
Bank alone reached as much as 6OO,-
100000 yen $500, ,O0O). How to
meet this problem has become one
OF the vital problems of Japan. Such
beng the case. the Japanese govern
ment has issued eXchcquer bonds
amounting TO 100,000,O0O yen ESQ.,
100000. in addition to the same
amount of cXchequer bonds which
was issued on August 3 of this wear.
Tor the purpose of buying the credits
held by the Japanese exchange banks.
OF the above exchequcr bonds, how
ever. only 50,0O0,O00 yen (s25 ,OOO,O
viii be used for this purpose.
in order to make further investi-
CATIONS into this problem the Jap
ancsc government established on
September 16 foreign exchange
commission, which is composed of
prominent government officials and
representative business people.
Japanese bankers said yesterday
that the action of the Japanese govern
ment would save their agencies here
from great embarrassment. eve have
been building up balances in the United
States ever since last September" said
one banker, "but have been unable to
get our funds to japan because we
have not been permitted to ship gold
by the United States governments"
Another banker estimated that the
Japanese government now has approx
mately $200,000,00O to its credit on de-
poslt in this country.
British Deals With Japan
Prior to the entrance of the United
States into the war there were two
occasions when the British govern
ment successfully negotiated with
Japan and obtained Japanese balances
iii New York in return for British ex-
chequer bonds sold i'll Japan.
Before the embargo on gold went
into effect in September, 1917, Japanese
interests were drawing gold out of the
United States at the rate of $5,000,000
