It will then be seen that the total amount of money to be spent or invested by Japan in Korea will reach over Y72,000,000 exclusive of expanditure on the Army.

The cost of ruling Kores for the present year is a little over 23,000,000, as shown by the estimate in the Hadget already given. Eve when the cost of Korean railway appartenances for next year is added, the total will not much exceed Y24,000,000. There are a number of items of expenditure which can be regarded from this year forward as part of the cost of raling Korea, but they are covered by the ¥72,300
