This is precisely what the commercial classes in the Empire have for the past two years, at least, been proclaiming, and the great retrenchments in national expenditure recently announced may be attributed to a recognition of the fact that the development of the national resources bad been checked by the constantly growing burden of taxation.

he laid special emphasis on the friendliness of America's relations with Japan, It is quito unnecessary to say that there never was in Japan any idea of going to war with America over the immigration or any other question, but, ia view of the persistence of an anti-Japanese campaign in a section of the American press, it is as likely as not that the issue at the present time of a Rescript which represents on the highest authority the peaceful aims of Japan's policy is intended as much for the inform ation of the world at large, and the Unite States in particular, as for His Majesty's own etibjects.
