JAP BUSINESS
CONDITIONS POOR
Governor of Bank of Japan Urges
Lowered Cost of Production.
by The Associated Pressl

TOXIC, Feb. 23.-That Japan'S for
eign trade would show no remarkable
increase of imports in the future and
that consequently there would be no
marked decrease in the amount of
Japan's specie holdings, was the opin-
ion voiced by Governor Inouye of the
Bank of Japan addressing the Toxic
bankers.
Governor Inouye was referring to
existing adverse conditions in Japan's
commercial and industrial life.
1.-THE best measures for tiding over
the present depressed situation, said
Governor Inouye, ARE, in the first
place, to reduce the cost of produc-
ton to the lowest possible point. The
cost of production of various mer-
chandise in this country is dispropor-
tionately high, compared with the
level in other countries. With a high
cost OF produc ton, Japanese merchan-
disc cannot possibly compete with
manufa cturers of other countries, and
this forms a great obstacle to the de-
velopment of the export trade of
Japan.
Reduction of the cost of production
is, accordingly, not only a matter of
imperative necessity of the moment,
but is also good for the permanent
interests of the country. 1t may bring
about a fall in wages and diminish
the buying power of the lower and
middle classes for a time, but this
must be tolerated for the purpose of
the fundamental consolida-
ton of the financial world.
Secondly, our manufacturers, trad
ers. bankers, insurance and shipping
circles are required to make concert
ed efforts for maintaining the market
which was developed abroad for Jap
anese merchandise during the war
period. The loss of the commercial
field acquired by the efforts of our
traders and manufacturers since the
great war would be tantamount to the
loss of Japans national dignity and
prestige"
