MILLS MILLS.

But within a very few weeks the necessary steps were taken for a complete reform more thorough going and far-reaching than any ever undertaken within the last 20 years. T is resulted in curtailing the expenditure by. £6,000,000 out of a total of £68,680,000,000

SUDGET FOR 3914-1915.

The savings effected during the current year and also an increase of revenas over the estimate in the previous year would enable the Budget of 1914-1915 to com mence with a surplus brought forward of about £7,500,000, the normal growth in. revenue from taxes was estimated to be about £1,500,000, and administrative economies would make available another sum of £4,300,000 a total of margin on the year's revenue of $13,300,000:

The Sinking Fund was maintained at the time-honoured amount of £5,000,000, out of which £1,000,000 was to be devoted to the foreign markets. Since this Budget was submitted to the Diet it had been. decided to divert £4,670,000 provided for to reinstate the Navy reserve fund to a new fund to be created for the develop ment of national resources,

Side by side, with the increase of State expenditure there has been an enormous increase in population, foreign trade, and wealth. In 1871 the whole popula tion of Japan was 33,000,000. It was now more than 50,600,000, without taking into account the population of Korca, Formoza, and Baghalien, numbering about 17,000,000. The aren proper was about 147,000 square miles, and with the addition of the new territories about 257,000 square miles. As to the foreign trade, the total of exports and imports in 1677 was only £5,000,000. In the year just closed the total value amounted to £190,000,000, an increase of twenty- sixfold in the course of 36 years. As regards the savings of the people, the total amount deposited in the Post Offico Savings Bank in 1883, eight years after the introduction of the system, was only £230,000, whilst in 1913 it was more than £20,000,000

The income of the nation had steadily increased. In 1887, when the income-tax came into foree for the first time, it brought in the miserable trife of £52,000, whereas the latest figures available showed the number of income-tax payers to be ef 1,358,000, with a total income £93,000,000, (an increase of more than threefold in the last 19 years). Lastly, as a set-off to the increased expenditure for armaments and war must be placed the acquisition of Formosa and Korea, coun- trics which can supply Japan with the raw products she most needs. If the Government were to draw up a balance- sheet, it would be able to show assets in the form of railways, factories, land, and foreste nearly double in value thei whole amount of the foreign portion of the National Debt

Bir Claude MacDonald, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, said that from his own personal experience, of 12. years in Japan he could bear out what Mr. Mori had said as to the change which. had taken place in recent years. He

membered that in 1900 it was quite im possible to ask to the British Legation any Japanees who was connected with fidance, commerce, or business, and he tock for himself a certain amount of cedit because he saw that that could not possibly last. He was the first of the diplomats in Tokyo to ask to his hönse a man who was now recognized as one of the first financiers. That gentleman had given up his caste and his class to take up finance, and he was always consulted any big question connected with finance in Japan. When he (the chair- nian) left Tokyo the business, the com. mereal, and the financial world were quite on a par with the diplomatic world and the world of the Palace.
