STRICKEN JAPAN
FELT TRADE
SLUMP
Nation in Serious Business
Depression When Earthquake
Disaster Came.
BY TOM EvERRITT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

Disaster stricken Japan was max
ing but slow progress in recovering
her business equilibrium which was,
In common with every other country
in the world. upset by the war. ac-
cording to the Department OF Com
neFce.
The recent report of the depart.
ment says, in part, 'The financial
situation In Japan is marked bv in.
creasing uneasiness and uncertainty
as the heavy imports continue to adj
vance the already large unfavorable
balance Of trade, and the country's
depressed Industries are "a growing
source Of anxiety to business firms.
: 1.-THE situation may be attributed
in part to business depression and
political disturbances in countries
which afford e. market for Japan's
products under normal conditions,
but business men In Japan ascribe q
large part Of it to the Chinese boy
cott."
The high cost Of living, the in.
dustrial depression and unhappy
labor conditions which are accom-.
panied by considerable unemploy.
nnent, are reflected In the report,
which further says, eat the close OF
July, the index figures OF representa-
tive commodities stood at 254; the in
dustrial depression reported in june
continues, ana restricted production
is keeping pace only with the de-
Ynand for certain commodities In q
desire to avoid overstocking: the
labor situation has not improved.
Unemployment is In evidence
Throughout the country, and there
has been O general decrease In
wages. Unrest and strikes are de-
creasing. Political conditions. how
ever, are quiet and favorable to
trade and industry"
The pessimistic note that runs
through the entire report continues
in this wise, 1.-THE stock market con.
tinues to reflect the depression
previously reported. The raw-silk
market is weak and irregular. The
domestic demand for cotton yarn
and cotton textiles is falling off and
the market is inactive. Iron and
steel are quiet but firm, and lumber
is dull. An unofficial forecast iItdi.
Gates decline In the 1928 rice crop.

REHABILITATION
Of JAPAN WILL
BE SLOW
Americans Familiar With Coun-
try Think rs Years Needed
For Recovery.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.--Japan will
require at least twenty-five years in
which to recover fully from the
blighting effects of the. disaster, says
Capt. Edward A. Salisbury, who has
just returned to New York city after
a long stay in that country.
It's lines. of communication gone,
it's naval bases destroyed, the ma
jority OF it's public buildings In ruins,
Japan will be slow to regain what
political and commercial prestige 1t
held in the past.
Confronted by an unparalleled
property loss and facing potential
damage even greater in the Gripping
of industries, the land Of the Mikado
will be slow in making it's come
back" Captain Salisbury said.
Official Records Destroyed.
"I believe the destruction mani.
fest in Yokohama and Tokyo has
been paralleled nowhere" he ION.
tinued. Tokyo apparently has suf-
fered D complete loss Of her public
buildings, with the destruction Of
all government records, which can
never be replaced.
1.-THE bulk of the financial loss will
be found to have been occasioned by
the destruction Of the new and
modern business structures in that
city and Yokohama.
1.-THE greater portions Of both
Tokyo and Yokohama were built up
Of lightly constructed buildings of
bamboo, frs, and mating, and these
structures must have burned like

occupants like rats.
There are only three or four
main roads leading out OF Tokyo
narrow, twisting thoroughfares,
lined with blind alleys and lanes
leading to nowhere-and one can
imagine the panic which ensued
when the frightened residents at.
tempted to choke through these
roads, carrying their worldly pos
sessions and fighting to escape the
flames.
Alley Death Traps.
Thousands OF them must have
been trampled to death. It il hard
to find ones way through q Japa-
nese street even In normal times.
and these little alleys must have
been veritable death traps Saturday.
Picture 100000 crazed persons
fighting as they sought to flee death.
Japan has had many small earth
Quakes during the last score of
years, and while the damage has
never been great, the people always
were expecting such a calamity as
overlook them Saturday.
Tokyo and Yokohama are both
built upon a huge geological fault,
and those cities knew they would
be visited by disaster some day. But
with true Oriental fatalisn, the
people did nothing about it--tust
waited patiently for 1t to come. I
have heard numerous predictions Of
such a disaster"
