SEES BUSINESS
 WITH JAPAN ON INCREASE

} TOKYO, Oct. 26.-C. H. Huston, As sistant Secretary of Commerce, who is making a world tour on the U. S. s. Moiave in the interest of American trade, in discussing his visit to Ja- pan said:
 Any opinion I might express on Jananese affairs and conditions must be more or less promised upon i'm Dressi0ns hurriedly ObtalI91 some things. however, are patent on their face.
 "The Washington conference re- acted favorably upon the Japanese , people at large and it has paved the way for more cordial commercial re- lation. Business men in both coun- tries have been responsible for mls- understandings in the past.
 Trade balances have been running against Japan for many months ana the best informed are not hopeful that and early change for the better is likely. This means that her pur- chasing power in the United States cannot be materially increased and may have to be curtailed.
 "Other countries are making pains taking efforts to acquaint the Jap- anese industries with the technical machinery and labor-saving devices they have to sell have found some of our people here abreast of the times but more business could be done if our people gave more study to conditions. The World War has impressed Japan that nations are not entirely self-contained and that Japan should take advantage of present con- ditions and join hands with America on permanent friendly and mutual ly advantageous basis.
 "Japan's factories are handicapped xv practices and customs brought down from the feudal era, and with some less efficiency than is found in America. I see no imminent danger of our plants suffering from Japanese competition. although this in no way suggests that I have found the manu- facturers either inefficient or un- progressive.

WAR DESTROYED OYSTERS

LONDON, Oct. 25.-English gour- mands are cursing the war. Of course the cursing of the war is noth- new, but the gourmands are venting their wrath because the war has brought about a scarcity of oysters. At it's best the English oyster is noO" cousin of the American bivalve, but oysters are oysters to gourmands and there are too few of them. Have" wrought about by depth charges and sea dumped explosives during tho war have caused the heavy casualty oyster famine.

because their factory products were inferior and again many of their prices, especially on luxuries, have been too high to appeal to our con- suming trade.
 "There seems to be a determined move on foot to get in line with other commercial nations. Everywhere the people are courteous, keen and diplo- matic."

INSECTS DAMAGE CABLES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 - Insects may damage metals and other mate rials, in addition to crops. According to reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture, the termite Coptotermes niger Snyder is causing serious damage to lead-cov
 cred cable at the locks of the Panama Canal. These termites work through the lead often causing large openings, and then travel between the two wires of the Duplex cable. Since the space between these two wires is not large, they eat away the insulation. An other termite, Nasutitermes ephratae Holmgren, is also very serious of fender. It does not care for lead, but works havoc in rubber, cloth, and other insulation. Studies of these and other termites are being made.
