" ment, who was then absent from the capital. It seems that the steamship company thereupon tried every means to conviD-CA the authorities of the propriety of the charter transaction: while it is reported that the French Ambassadoria Tokyoapproached Mr. Nakashaji, the Minister of Communications, and Barou Goto, the Home Minister, on the matter. In coas quence, the Communications.authorities; Fit - is reported, eventually rescinded their previous decision, and have now given formal permission for the charter of the Yoshida-maru under date of the 25th instant. On the same day. Government permission was also given for the Bankoku-ma u.of the Taisho Kisen Kaishs, and the Fukui- maru, of the Uchida Kisen Kaitha, both of which have been chartered to the French author- ities. This is the first time that the charter abroad of a Japanëse ship has beca permitted by the Government since the promulg- ation of the Wartime Shipping Control Law, The delay in Pranting permission has caused considerable loss and it is still į causing loss in the case of several other steamere, permission to let cut which on foreign charter is still under consideration.

FRICAN EXPRIŠ8 TRAVELLERS CHEQUES- the herb forms in which to curry fural: funds
difference could not be split, leading to the falling through of the negotiations for a supply of American iron and steel for Japen. The Japanese authorities then tried to revive the negotia- tions by offering considerable tonnage in return for a small supply of shipbuilding matsrisis. The authorities now find them- selves in a helpless predicament. The Ministers of Communications and of Agriculture and Commerce are criticised owing to the un- successfu! negotiations over tho question of the American iron embargo; the exchange problem, due to the American embargo on gold, has placed the Finance Minister in a fix while, the Foreign Minister is in an evenTM worse fix, owing to the question of offering Japanese tonnage for the Allied Servics. In these days Count Terruchi, the Premier, can hardly be sure whether he is standing on his bead or his feet; he is confused and confounded by the diplomatic and economic questions, more especially by the shipping question,"
