GAIN IN u. S. TRADE
WITH JAPAN PREDICTED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW York, February 25.-The vol
ume of goods which the United States
sells to Japan is bound to increase
steadily in the next few years, as that
country gradually recoups the losses oc-
casioned by the earthquake of four
years ago. This was the opinion ex-
pressed today by H. S. K. Yamaguchi
one Of the great hotel men of the Jap
anese Empire, who Is now studying con-
ditions in America.
Mr. Yamaguchi declared the earth
quake had set Japan back so years and
told how he had seen the capital and
industrial effort of his nation for gen.
erations wiped out in 80 seconds OF
temblor
Despite these facts. Japan has far
surpassed other nations in some lines
of endeavor, he indicated.
The railroad system of Japan in
cludes some 1900 miles of main line
track, but the motor bus lines of trans
portation, which are strictly regulated
by the government and which are not
charted unless public necessity is shown
have already exceeded this mileage by
far. These lines. according to Mr.
Yamaguchi. who operates several fleets
OF BUSES built for him in Cleveland
have been successful in developing both
passenger and freight traffic from the
smaller villages, many Of them off the
railroads. This has stimulated trade in
the cities easily reached by bus and has
been responsible for spreading modern
ideas and methods
