During that interval our Cam pany bus surmounted many difficulties and attained its present position. I beg therefore hat you will allow
to make a brief statement about the connection now existing between the State of Japan and the work of the Nippon Yussu Kaisha. By way of preface it is u ces sary that I should refer to the general condition of the country's maritime carrying trade provions to the formation of this Company.

REPLY BY BARON GOTO.
Barn Goto, Minister of Communications, replied on behalf of the Japanese guests. After expressing the honour he felt at being included among the gals on such a memorable occasion, Baran Goto proceeded:--
It is needless to say that the Nippon Yunon Kaisha is the largest shipping Company in our country and that it is a maritime organ ræsential to Japan's national interests, Since the open- door policy of the Meiji ora wesfirmly establish ed, the importance of maritime affairs has nuroased.

As these sots have been oloarly stated in the brief history of the Company fast given by Mr. Kondo I need tot add anything.
The Government's attitude towards maritime transport is not only because Japon is an insalar country, but also beatung we realise that slis constitutes a portion of the world, and that con- sequently great impor anos attaches to her intercoures with all ot' er parts of the globe. The succes of this Company, I venture to say. is due to the fact that it recognises itself to be a is due part of the State and at the same time the shareholders and officers of the Company have exerted themselves in that conviction.
