what panicky at the receipt of the news
Of the control of foreign trade by the
American War Trade Board through
the means Of licenses
Leading fnanciers and business men
were not slow to take measures to re-
assure the country and to combat un-
necessary excitement.
Kamekichi Yoneyama, of the Mitsui
Bank, a prominent figure in financial
Japan, who had visited the United
States recently as a member of the
special finance commission headed by
Baron Megata, said in an interview
published in the "Asahi":
There are two views in the United
States on silk. One holds that it is
an article of luxury, whereas the other
contends it is not. Those who MAIN
tain that it is not to be considered as
an article of luxury base their views
principally on the following:
81. That it is an article needed for
the war.
90 That. as the woollen and cotton
textiles are supplying the war demand,
silk will have to take their places.
SO. That it will furnish employment
for the working girls at the mills.
"And there are indications that the
general public in the United States
seems to look upon silk as something
that is not exactly an article of lux
ury. AS we went about the different
sections of the United States we have
tried to explain that silk is not an
article of luxury pure and simple. The
men of the silk association are of the
opinion that, although silk may be SUBJ
jected to a certain extent to the i'm
port restriction, its Importation will
never be prohibited altogether. They
think, moreover, that the extent of reg
ulation will be rather slight"
The following table will give the
reader the list Of the more important
articles Of export from Japan into the
United States The figures should be
fairly accurate; they are official ones
given out by the Department of Agri-
culture and Commerce Of japan and
published in the "Jiji," of Toxic, u

duce what is necessary and to sell
the products to the government. For
us the conscription method is very
difficult, since we lack, and are not
skilful in producing, the necessary
administrative machinery and since
we do not take kindly to government
interference with what we have been
accustomed to regard as our private
affairs. Accordingly, the government
is depending here chiefly upon the
voluntary plan, using CONSUMPTION
on as small scale as possible. Here,
again, it is putting the responsibility
up to US, the people.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-04-07

This first year, therefore, we must
turn over to the Federal government
not less than one fourth, probably as
much as one-third, Of our incomes.
If some of US cannot spare that
much, and some of us can't without
suffering from hunger and cold
others of us must make up the deficit
by turning over to the government q
still larger percentage Of our in
comes.
How 1t
Can Be Done
In securing the transfer of this
large percentage of the income of
the people two possible plans or some
combination of these two are avail
able to the government. 1t can take
the necessary amount by force
through the process of taxation or it
can induce US to hand over the nee
essary amount on the condition of
receiving it back some time in the
future with interest, or it can COM
bine the taxation and the loan meth
DDS. Our government has adopted
the latter plan, the proportions be-
ing roughly one-ffth by taxation and
four-ffths by loans. In other words,

we shall withdraw at least as many
more, perhaps one and a half times
or twice as many more. If we do
not fill the places of these men the
total volume of our production will
certainly decrease.

ourselves about this phase of The
matter. Yes, the government will
take care of itself, if we force It 50
to do, but at what cost? The loss Of
a year or two of time at the rate Of
S20,000,000,000 or more of expense
a year and the needless sacrifice 0;
the lives Of thousands of our soldiers
and sailors. Is that economy? viii
that policy lower the aggregate Of
sacrifice?
Furthermore, the business as-ususl
policy will do the maximum damage
to tie business enterprises and ts
individuals who expect to shell
themselves or profit by it. When til
CONSUMPTION policy is adopted they
will be compelled to do the ver
thing they are trying to avoid. Ii
the mean time they will be living 4
handto-mouth existence and will
have to face the inevitable crisis in
weakened and unprepared condi.

many who might have successfully
tided over the crises had they Needed
the warning at the beginning and Sc.
their houses in order will be ruined,
and the losses of all will be greatly
increased by the lengthening Of the
period Of the crisis and the increased
burden of taxation they will have to
bear.
1t is sheer folly to suppose and
those are intellectually blind who
think that we can fight through
this war to a successful issue with.
out business as well as blood sacrl'
fees to minimum. Are we most
likely to do this by closing our eyes

The foregoing propositions make
quite obvious the nearly necessity Of
diyerting a percentage, probably a
large percentage, Of our productive
energy from some industries to
others. Since we cannot increase
the total volume Of our production,
since we cannot borrow or buy what
we want from other countries, since
