JAPAN'S FINANCES.

An Awkward Situation.

An authority anid to be well informed an

the all-baportant matter of Government Binance in erodited by Japanese papers with the statement that the amount of bonds nominally to be issued by the Government in the 41st fiscal year (1918-9) total Y112,000,000 in round figures-173,680,000 represented by unissued bonds belonging

"the

War

Bonds Fund, Y6,810,000 by of the special emergency expenses, atid Y32,100,000 by bonds relating to the a count, for administrative expenses, reparts the Japan Chronicle." Uf the total Y40,000,000 should have been issued in the present fiscal year (1907-8), but as there was a sorplas of f revenue over expenditure this aunt will not be issued. The balance must be placed on the market, besidesat least Y150,000,000 of bonds for the purchase of the railways. Under present financial con- ditions, it is quite hopeless to attempt to redeem the whole amount of the first issue of the War Bends (Y100,000,000), which fale duo at the end of this year. The cures that the Gorerument intends to take for the disposal of such an enormous amount of bonde se fooked forward to with great interest.
