business cannot be taken into consid-
Grafton as against preventable loss Of

JAP MISSION To

CREDIT REPORTER

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRUl
San Francisco, Nov. 24.--Important
among the many missions from ia
pan which have visited the United
States during the past several months
is the honorary Japanese CONNER
cial mission which arrived in san
Francisco, and which now Is visiting
commercial centers of this country.
This mission, headed by Relzp Yama-
shima, vice president of the TOXIC
Chamber of Commerce, and y Shepa,
prominent business man of TOXIC ana
honorary secretary of that organlza-
ton, has as its purposes the study OF
commercial organizations throughoul
the United States. as well as CONNER
cial. financial and economic condl-
tons.
At q conference with San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce officials, the
problem oe credit Information for Am
erican merchants desiring TO do busi-
ness with firms in Japan was brought
up. At the present time there Is nc
available agency such as exists IN
America in the firm of Dunn and
Bradstreet in Japan, but the subJec'
was promised earnest consideration py
Yamashirila.
Assurance was given by Yamashlma
that Japan desired American business
to enter this trade side by side with
her merchants. It was the firm convic-
ton of he trade mission that America
ard Japan should have proper bank
ing facilities in the Orient. Win
American and Japanese prestige the
question of currency exchange IN
China could be adjusted and the pres
ent system of high costs eliminated, II
was contended.
Suggestion was made that an ex-
change of items for publicity by the
chambers of Toxic and San Francisco
would work to the advantage of BON
Information furnished by the cham
bers Of Japan could be given circu-
lation in the United States and cuitl-
walton of such business Information
and exchange of items and views
should be encouraged
Yamashma expressed himself as IN
terested in an exchange of views
through publicity and in furtherance
of the idea of close acquaintanceshlI
expressed the hope that more Ameri.
can merchants would visit Japan ane
the Orient.
