JAPAN AS AN EXAMPLE TO BRITAIN.

ARTICLE BY LORD ROSEBERY.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1913.

Japan (writes Lord Rosebery in the Review of Reviews) is indeed the object- lesson of national afficiency. Happy-is 'But not a the country that learns it. About

hundred books or a thousand prefaces will bring this lesson home to our own nation.

The amount required is, estimated at $40,000,000, hut $10,000,000 is to be paid ut of onlinary expenditure, making about $30,000,000,

-Expense of disbanding troops about

$15,000,000.

According to a report of the Army Department the total number of troops in the whole of Chinn is one million, and half a million will be retained in the army and the other 500,000 inen will be di banded, and for the purpose the sum estimated is required.

2-The Reserve fund to carry out gold standard in exchange, about $100,000,000. The fund will be deposited in foreign banks for the purpose of exchange,

3.Fund for the Bank of China or Changkuo Yinhung, 830,000,000,

These three items are of the nature of reserve funds and therefore it is not necessary to have all the sum mentioned for the yet.

Three things may move, us: obvious decline, sudden catastrophe, or some stimulating example. This last, at least, is furnished by Japan.

Some think we are too old a nation for new departures; that our garment is too old for now patches. It is true that wo cannot begin on entirely new linos; wo cannot, like an American manufacturer,

scrap" all our old machinery and begin suddenly afrosh.

But Japan is, historically speaking, ✪ much older nation than ours; and yet she actually did this very thing some thirty years ago: discarded nearly everything but patriotism, and began a fresh career

How stands it with us in comparison with these Orientals? Wo have all the raw materials, some of the best. We have courage and brains and strength, but there is surely an immense leakage of power in their development. Politically speaking, we begin and end with party.

WORDS IN MILLIONS,”

We are all striving to put ourselves or our leaders into offices or expel other people from them. This is not from want of patriotism: quite the reverse, the habit

of centuries has made us believe that this

is patriosism, this and no other. Do we ever stop to reflect what is the outcome of it all: the net result of millions of words, words; of great debates and incessant divisions and spirited autuon campaigns ↑ In truth, exceeding little.

VITAL WORK.

Granted. But it is at least necessary to point out that whenever we do begin to aim at efficiency we shall be handicap- ped by this formidable encumbrance.

There has no doubt been plenty of party in Japan. But party in Japan has not spelt inefficiency; it tends, perhaps, in the other direction. It appears to be a rivalry of faction for the goal and prize of efficiency, Japanese parties apparent. ly represent a nation determined on effi- ciency.

That is where we differ. And yet there is work to do-pressing, vital work, which does not admit delay; work, which would fill strenuous years even if Parliament were suspended and not a speech were delivered.

But Parliament must sit and speeches must be discharged. We must then, at least, learn from Japan how to obtain efficiency in spite of the party systems. That is the best lesson that sho can teach
