(Ry The Associated Press.

Toxic. May 29.-In replying today
in written statement to petitions of
the Toxic clearing houses, Viscount
Takahashi. the premier, said the
government recognized the necessity OF
proper adjustment of the state loans
and OF reinstating the sinking fund
system.
At general meeting of the clearing
houses at which the petitions were pas.
sed upon Mr.. Inouye. president of the
Bank of Japan, said there was no sign
OF improvement in sight vet in the
economic situation in Japan.
No FOretelling Future.
There is no fOretelling the future de-
velOpment of this anomalous economic
condition, Mr.. Inouye said, but one
thing is certain, and that is that the
situation requires every sincere and
resOlute effort on. the part of the
government and people for the facil-
tation Of the required recovery.
The speaker expressed his belief that
it would be impossible to expect an in
crease of export in the near future.
This means the corresponding waning
of the specie reserves abroad and there
fore the growing tightening of the
money market at home. he asserted,
adding that the only way out of the
present difficulty was the strict prac-
tice of self denial by the general people
Nothing proved more fatal stumbling
block in the way of the postwar ecOnO-
mic improvement in Europe than in
diligence in speculation. he said.
HOstilities End.
The Versailles treaty put an end to
the worlds hostilities, said the premier
in his statement. but failed to bring
with it peace to the international
economic world. The premier empha-
sized how difficult it was for the
nations to recover from the prevail
ing anomalous economic conditions
caused by the late war, and declared
that the British, American and Japan
csc peoples who were the least suffer
ers of all must be held responsible for
the facilities Of such recovery.
The premier warned the Japanese
people against lack of tenacity Of pur
pose and of the spirit of independence.
The premier called attention to the
paramount Importance of cooperation
between the governments and people
