JAPAN MAY SEEK
LOAN OF BILLION

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK,-Septembe 11.-There
Is thrust without warning into the
world picture of business and finance
the japanese catastrophe. which at
once spells rehabilitation and the ex-
penditure of many millions of dollars.
New impetus is given American in
dustry in the forecasts of reconstruc-
tion, and already tentative orders are
in hand for thousands of tons of
steel, while fooGstuffs and clothing
are to be forwarded in huge quanti-
ties.
Not all the potential business is
coming to the United States, as Great
Britain naturally is to share as a re-
suit of that nations long business
and financial contact with the gov
ernment of Nippon, but in the realm
OF big business and banking it is con-
ceded that there is need for all to
join hands in supplying the require
ments of a country in distress. There
also is heard Nthe discussion of pos
s;ble big loans to the Japanese gov
ernment. and $1,000000.000 Is men
toned as a likely amount to be sought
in London and New York. Japan's
credit is of the highest in the inter
national money market, and there Is
foreseen no difficulty in raising the
required sums.
The shoe trade also is holding up
well. with orders for the remainder
OF the Year running far ahead of the
final months of 1922. Automobile out

facturers now are.commsncing to re-
wise prices. task which. usually

opening of the schools. Thousands
of pupils and teachers from sch ools
and colleges have been engaged In
industry during the last three months,
not at white collar" jobs, but in the
factories mills and the building

High wages were instrumental in
turning their thoughts to manual
labor, and many are in better finan-
cial condition at the opening of the
school year than ever before. Strange
to say, the steel Industries are feeling
these withdrawals fully as much as
any other line The abolition of the

tractors have so many contracts on

OUTLOOK IN RUHR
HELP TO COPPER
Ending of Passive Resist
ance Would Be Great Boon
TO Industry in U. S.
BY J. C, RoYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September IL. -
Frightening OF the prospects for an
adjustment OF the difficulties in the
Ruhr undoubtedly has had a strength
ening effect on some lines of Amer
lean business. So far, however, that
effect has been more psychological
than real and must be for some time to
come, for Germany has drifted far on
the tide of passive resistance. and
time and intensive effort will be
necessary to put her back on her
business and industrial course.
The news from the European capi-
tails, as was natural, found its first
and most active response in the cop
per industry. This must not be taken
to mean that abandonment of passive
resistance in the Ruhr would have
an immediate effect on the prices
of the red metal However, 1t is sure
that Germany will require large
quantities of copper when her in
dustrial wheels commence to turn in
regular rhythm again.
Germany Mig Copper User.
Germany has always been the
largest foreign consumer of Ameri-
can copper except during the war
period In the last pre-war year. she
bought 100000 pounds of refined
ingots and bars or one-third of our
total exports for that year, and ap-
proximately one-fifth of our produc-
ton. With resumption of trade in
1920 Germany took S9,000,000 pounds
of copper, increased this to 233,000.000
pounds in 1921 and averaged about
1S,000,000 pounds month in the early
months of 1922. Since then consump-
tion in Germany has fallen off ma
terially.
a resumption of German buying
will probably find the American pro-
ducerS better prepared for doing
business at a profit tran for years.
Consultations among the larger pro-
ducerS have effected a material cut
in overhead costs. and there has been
marked increase in efficiency among
the miners employed. In addition
stocks in the hand of producers are
relatively low
The less threatening aspect of our
Greco Italian situation is much less
potent factor I'm our business situation
than the outlook for Germany. One
third per cent of our total foreign
trade last year was with Italy and
one-half of l per cent with Greece.
Gotten and wheat are the articles
which constitute the bulk of our ex-
ports, and these, ii is felt. would con-
tinue in demand. no matter what the
outcome between the disputants.
