Mr. Herins said that he saw in the Government no sign of any realisation of the urgent need of a definite trade policy They had multiplied Departments, and an infinite number of memoranda, had been written, but for policy we looked in vain. The reason for this was that the economic policy of the Government, is set forth at the time, of the Ceneral Election, depend ed for its operation upon the maintenance of a system of prohibitions and regulation of trade.

The Chinese added that the militarists and capital sts of the two countries were the main obstacles to friadship between China and Japan, and they expressed the hope that the Japanese delegates. would see to it that these. obstacles were removed.
