Experiments were in progress by Count Foseni to
andaavour to grow better paying crops than rice, cocoa nuta und rubber, and he would announce the results of these experi- ments later.
He concluded by saying that the Indies appeared rich to be a rendy field of operations for Jamasse enterprise which should be chiefly directed towards agriculture. He regretted that regulat passenṛer services to the Dutch Best Indien so greatly retarded by the difficulties made by the Japanese authorities in granting passports which often occupied more than six months to get, und when once got the opportunities were so few and far between that another three to six months often elapsed before the passage could be taken. The Osake Steamship Company would, therefore, do well to provide more frequent seilings.
