should ever-population render emigration from Japan

proper a matter of urgency in the future, the present number of

colonists in formosa nould in all probability easily be

multiplied fivefold.

An increasing preference for industrisi as opposed

to agricultural sccupstion is noticeable, and it would appear

that for some time to come the problem of a growing population

can be solved by bringing under cultivation land that han

hitherto been neglected and by expanding the towns.

There is no doubt that it can be maintained with some

truth that shortage of raw materials in this country is

kindering industrial development and that available figures demonstrate that in 16 years time the supply ai tha staple food of the country, namely rice, will be inadequate. Against this

I would point out that when thắn happens the position would

only be a serious one if we ware to namume that Japan was not

in a position to obtain rise from abroad. In Commercial Counsellor's opinion Japan will be enabled to purchase imported rics by virtue of the natural expansion of her own industriel

system. rish is another staple article of food, mủ gỗ that

there is no reason to anticipate any failure of supply.

A shortage of ring has however already been experienced in years when the drop was not successful, and in my opinion this gives ressonable quume for some apprakension as to the adequacy of mpylion in the future. If on the other hand the Japanese son and will avail themselyan of what Siberia hes to offer, they will find themselves in possession of stocka without limit of foodstuffs other than rice, and also of the

raw materials which their industries require for their

development.
