JAP PREMIER IS
 TIGHTENING GRIP,
 FRIENDS DECLARE

TolSio. October s.-Friands of Takashi Hara, Japan's prime minis ter, say that far from being over thrown by his political opponents, he seems every week to be getting stronger grip upon the empire, and now stands forth powerful domi- hating figure, like Clemenceau and later Briand in France, and Lloyd George In England.
 Hara, the imperturbab1e, some one has styled him. Ills smooth shaven smiling face seems crowned too young with pure white hair. He never loses his calm even when oth- CTS of his official family depart for moment from traditional oriental fmpassiveness when some such even! as, for example. the American sug- gestion to disscuss Far Eastern pol icies, comes unexpected and, per- haps, undesired.
 At the cabinet councils he Is said to impose his will like a Napoleon, and like Napoleon he sleeps but five hours day. It Is a common opin- ion among Japanese that he Is the man who decides almost all impor- tant issues coming before the oabi- net. other ministers merely serving as his secretaries. so autocratic is he in the handling of the government affairs Japanese attribute his domination of his cabinet to his i'm domitable will power and political sagacity or cleverness.
 There Is a saying that to under stand Japan's foreign and domestic policies. one needs to understand Ia kashi Hara's character; but MT. Hara is not a personality to be understood easily. He always keeps his plans to himself and very few of his min- isters or close associates know any thing about his intended move until the last moment. It is believed that it was MT. Hara. and not the home minister, who. recommended that the labor situation in Kobe when the issue was brought up for a final de- cison of the cabinet and his word became law, whether good or bad.
 Reporters find Hara Q hard man to interview. He is gracious enough but his flashes of humor disturb them. Some of them tried to get hiri to talk about the Washington con ference the other day. He spared for awhile and then added: Now, let's stop talking shop. I don't like to talk every day about such dry subjects.~ feel in heaven only when I return to this native city of mine" This was g reference to Norfolk where he was visiting
 How about my healthf It's fine. if I only get five hours sleep. which is hard enough to get these days. Mrs. Hara? She has recovered maybe because she has stopped smoking"

spair. Newspapers complain that spec ulators are responsible for the ex- change fluctuations, but this Is 8 childish explanation and does not de- ceive the experts. Money is com modity, the value of which before the war was determined by gold value; namely. the cost of produoin gold plus a reasonable profit. There was no difference between metal money and paper money. It Is true that our banknotes today say that the Reichs bank Is obliged to redeem them In gold. but the gold reserve does not exist
 Mountains of Paper
 Thus since the gold value which formerly determined the price ot money has disappeared, can we won der that the commodity value has sunk precipitously? In the meantime money has lost it's parity value also. The paper mountains ascend to heaven. Two billion marks of paper are printed weekly. If this continues 1t means 04.O00. 900. 900 of new money
