Of late I have often been asked for, my views regarding the prospect of Japanese political changes. Such a subject, however, excites in me no in terest except that its frequent mention gives me the idea that some thing is pastir in political circles. To me such

is la caly proper that they should leave nothing undone to vindicate their probity.
- POLITICAL FORTUNES
It is bhrious that political activities necessarily involve heavy expenditure, and the employment of money in political activities is not a censurable
thing, in itself. At the same time, it
lies with statesmen to endeavour to avoid giving the slightest ground for public suspicion in regard to their methods of raising or spending money for political or selfish purposes. In political circles in Europe and America social vigilance and restraint in this regard are very strictly enforced, and any statɛanyan found commiting questionable acta con- cerning the raising or ending of money to attain his political onda is over allowed to retain a position of honour and public trust.
"When Mr. Lloyd George incurred some public auspicion in connection with the Marconi afur, te showed no hesita for publia inspection, and in this way tion in disclosing the whole of his assets established his integrity. This action on the part of Mr. Lloyd George enhanced his popularity among the public very considerably, to say nothing. of completely dispelling the suspicions people had entertained regarding him:
