JAPANESE ACTIVITY
IN LATIN AM MER|CA
IS WATCHED BY i. s.
Competition Is Expanding
From Economic Field to
the Political.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The activity of Japan in Latin Amer
lea is being closely followed by the ad-
ministration.
While Japan's competition in the eco
nomic field in Central and South Amer
lea has been felt in recent years, it
appears that the japanese government
is now becoming strongly interested in
the political matters Of the Latin
American republics.
This interest, which began some 18
months ago. has been especially felt
during the last months.
In Cuba. it is reported, the japanese
charge d'affaires, an extremely able
diplomat, has offered his legation as a
place Of refuge for ousted Cuban poll
ticians. More than once he personally
assisted these politicians to find refuge
on board ships and helped their leaving
Havana. His interest in Cuba's political
troubles has been more than platonic,
although politically the two countries
have little to do with each other.
Three Economic Missions.
1t is true that Cuba and Japan have
a commercial treaty which was nego-
tiated in 1881 by OreSteS Ferrara, the
former Ambassador to Washington who
was at the same time Minister to Toxic.
That treaty, which experts in the State
Department declare to give all kinds
of advantages to Japan and none to
Cuba, also provides for the settlement of
Japanese immigrants in the island. So
far this immigration has been on a
small scale only. There are today some
400 Japanese recently settled in the
Isle of Pines and about a similar num-
ber in the Province of Camaguey, where
there are important sugar plantations.
In spite of the distressing economic
conditions of the country, there have
been no less than three economic mis-
sions from Japan which have visited
Cuba in the last months
They had no official character, and
nobody knows what their business mis-
sion was.
Peru is another Latin American re-
public which proves of interest to ia
pan. According to reliable reports Jap
anese aviator5 are at present in Lima
on an undetermined mission.
In most OF the Central American re-
publics japanese immigration is growing
The same thing applies to certain
South American republics, especially to
Brazil
In this last country there are no less
than 100000 japanese settlers. ener-
eetic hard-working men. Japan had
offered few months ago to the govern
ment of the republic to build all the
naval vessels Brazil needed. The Jap
anese government did not only offer
cheaper and better terms than any
other nation which has large yards, but
also offered to take Brazils raw ma
