COUNT INOUYE AND THE KOREAN QUESTION.
It is unusual in Japan 'as in other countries to find a Minister or Government official granting interviews wholesale and discussing matters of State policy with freedom, and there must be some reason for Count Inouye departing from the attitude of reserve generally adopted and making ble opinions known to any and every What these reasons are it to difficult to say- Perhaps it is thought beat that certain statements made regarding Korean matters should be con- tradicted on the highest authority ; perhaps it is considered well that the attitude taken up by the Government towards the peałorular klog. dem should be widely known possibly the object is to allay suspicions entertained by foreign representatives as to suspected Japa nese designs on Korea. Whatever the object, Count Inouye has provided a considerabia amount of "copy" for Japanese Journallats, and that he has the approval of the Government la the course taken may be considered ceitain from the fact that a report of the latest and most important interview is given by the Nicht Nicht Simbun. In this Interview Count Toonya acknowledges the diffulty experienced la carrying out reforma in Korea, which he attributes

He acknowledges, nevertheless, that there are many statesmen, and even some among the Japanese advisers to the Korean Government, who have abandoned all hopes of witnessing any radical Improve meat in the present evil condition of things lo Korea. Count Inouye cannot agree with this precipitate judgment. As regards the financial condition of the country, it is impossible as yet to formulate any definite opinion; there has hitherto been no regular taxation, no books, no system of accounts, so financial records what ever. Bat this is now in process of being remedied; already a system of accounts, daiing from the 1st April of this rear, has been established, and at the end of the fiscal year the country's financial position will for the first time be disclosed; while there has already been considerably gain in the suppression of the extortion formerly practised by officials and their hangers-on.
