JAPAN'S FINANCIAL POSITION,
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE BEFORE THE
COUNTRY:A
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25TH, 1913.
The paramount issue before this coun- try to-day, says the Chula, is the settlement: of the foreign loans. The national loans alone amount to 1,193,000,000 ye, The addition of the provincial and the corporation loans bring this amount to 1,097,238,671 yen. For this Japan pays annually interest to the amount of 87,000,000 zen. Besides this interest, thero is to be paid yearly 25,000,000 yen for sundry purposes relative to the navy and army. Altogether, the specie drawn from the treasury for foreign countries each your reaches nearly 110,000,000 you
What Japan receives, on the other hand, from her emigrants, expressage, insurance, foreign vessels and tourists, etc, (exclusive of what is related with commerce), amounts to about 40,000,000 vcu. Adding to this the annual output of gold of 20,000,000 yen we have 30,000,000 yen, which is still short by about 50,000,000 yen to balance the 110,000,000 yen that we pay out yearly, It is thus shown that the foreign debt is annually increasing. The following figures tell the situation plainly
