THERE is no doubt that most siren

the usual secret diplomatic under
ground methods to reach an agree
ment between the powers for a
united front against the Chinese. The
Osahi, published at Osaka, Japan, in
an officially inspired article recently
stated: with reference to China's
claim for tariff autonomy, an agree
ment ha salready been reached be-
tween Japan, the United States. and
Great Britain to object to discussing
that question:, altho they are willing

foreign control The appointment of
Hioki Eki as chief of the Japanese
delegation indicates that on the tariff
Japan will make last-ditch fight.

Weekly Chronicle as, with Mr.. Obata,
'having done more bullying work in
respect Of China than probably any

The paper intimates that the Japanese

England Losing Out.
During the world war Great Britain
suffered severe losses in her Oriental
trade. Prior to 1918 the British con
trolled over half of China's entire for
eign commerce. In 1917 England's
proportion had dropped to about 40
per cent. Between 1904 and 1918 her
direct trade with China had increased
but 40 per cent The tonnage Of Brit
ish steamers in the Chinese trade de-
creased from so per cent Of the total
in 1880 to 40 per cent in 1918, tho the
actual tonnage itself Increased from
l5,S74,S52 tons to 1894, $50 tons, in
dicating the enormous shipping which
England controlled.
Of the commercial firms in 1854 in
Shanghai rs per cent were British and
of the foreign banking houses at that
time all but one were British. In 1917
out Of the 7,055 commercial houses but
$50 were English. There were twice
as many Japanese and twice as many
Russian. Out of AZ foreign-owned
banks but four were British-owned.
These figures show that Great Britain

PART II
JAPAN AND THE CUSTOMS
CONFERENCE

THE Japanese press, rejecting the
4 interests Of its ruling class. is
agreed that the proposal to allow
China to raise her customs duties
presents a grave danger to their
country, Japanese exports to China,
they contend, are possible in large
measure only because OF the nominal
Chinese tariff. Therefore If China
were to impose a high export tax, it
would SO increase the expense of the
raw materials which Japan must i'm
port from that country as to make
Japanese competition in the world
market impossible.
An examination of the character of
the trade between the two countries
proves this contention is well based.
Japan takes a larger part of China's
exports than any other country On
the other hand one-third of her own
exports find their market in Chinaa.
Any general increase in Chinese GUS
toms therefore will injure her trade,
cutting both ways like scissors.
THE bulk if her exports to China
\ consist of yarns and cotton goods
of a cheap grade, which her experts
admit can easily be made in the Chi
nese mills, and which in fact are to
an ever greater extent being manu-
featured there. There is an increas-
ingly heavy investment of Japanese

tendency to transfer the cotton spin
ming industry there where raw ma
terial is abundant and labor still
cheaper than at home. According to
the Japanese press this same tend
ency exists in the matchmaking and
flour industries. ~
silk Industry Threatened.
The interconnection of economic
factors is nowhere so evident as in
a situation like this. Japan's most inn
portant market is the United States
to which she sells third of her total
exports. OF these, raw silk makes up
so per cent. Yet an expert for the
Mitsui company, one of the biggest
corporations in the country, after an
investigation of conditions in Kwang-
tung states that this single Chinese
province could produce more null
berry leaves than all Japan. (The
silkworn1 feeds on this leaf only. If
China had customs autonomy she
would be able to make the raising of
h-trees and the consequent build
ing up of huge industry so profitable
that the Japanese silk industry would
be dealt death blow. Take from
JAPAN as one writer says, the silk
exportcto the United States and the
cotton goods and yarn to China and
Japan has nothing much left.
The enormous importance to Japan
of. her Chinese commerce is evident
fromra consideration of the statistics
