that Japan's industrial develop ment is in its infancy; it cannot oven walk alone yet. The years of patient labour and experiment which have built up industries in the West havo yet to be gono through, and the manipulative -talent which enabled Coventry to pass from watch-making to bicycle manufacture with hardly a break has yet to bo evolved. It is curious that although the Japaneso con- sider themselves cleveror with their fingers than Western nationsy in those industries which demand great skill in manipulation, such as watch-making, they show no special. aptitude. The Factory Law has boon the means of throw- ing light on the nature of the factories concerned. The first proposal of the Government was to apply the law to all factories. employing more than ton persons. In Committee this number was altered to twenty, but finally, tho House of Representatives agreed to fix it at fifteen. It will thus be seen that. what are considered factories in Japan are in many cases morely workshops. In fact the alteration of the applicability: of the law from factories contain-. ing ton employees or over to those containing fifteen or over placed thirty por cont. of the factories outside the scope of the mensure, the number of factories to which it now applies being reckoned as ten thousand. The undeveloped naturo of Japan's industries could hardly be slown more clearly.
