not only disturb the fionacial situation, but also affect the Government revenue,», la con sequence, the Government is much concerned regarding the matter, and now proposes to Im- pose an excise on Formosan sugar in strict conformity with the law, withdrawing all dis Icrimination. With this object in view, Mr. Kuroda, a councillor to the Finance Depart ment, has been sent to Formosa to report on the condition of the sugar industry in the island. In the event of the proposal being carried into practice, the Formosan, sugar industry, which is now beginning, to prosper after a hard straggle, will, it is believed, suffer a set-back, Business-men connected with the Formosau sugar industry are therefore urging the mam- beis of the Diet interested in Formosaa suger mills to use their influence with the Government to withdraw the proposal. In the opinion of the sugar-refining companies in Japan, the prevention of the influx into Japao of Formo. sad sugar may serve to restore the Dai Nippon Sugar Refining Company, but some other measure is required to effect a radical improve. ment in the sugar industry as a whole. For this reason, the companies are not disposed to place obstacles in tho-way of the-special pri vilege granted to Formosan sugar. Uadoubt edly the Formosan uger industry has made rapid sirides, but if the excise is fairly imposed, the Formosan product will be unable to-copp with the industry in Japan. In view of all the | ciscumstances it is regarded as probable that the Government will follow one of two courses, -either to continue the existing privilege or to grant a bounty instead, so that in either case those interested in the Formosan sugar indus. try need not be much concerned,
