THE FOREIGN TRADE OF

THE PROPORTION, DONE BY FOREIGN FIRMS,

loading!

The Japas Chronicle in article criticising certain statements on this subject published in a recent book by Professor McGovern, now of the School of Oriental Studies in Ländon, says:

Writers who depend on Japanese sources for their information.seem to fail in under- standing the meaning of the word "pro portion" It is quite true that the bulk of the foreign trade of Japan is now in Japanese hands, yet the actual amount of foreign trade done by foreign firms is larger than it ever was. However just just the methods adopted." says Mr. McGovern, the fact remains that Japan has succeeded in her design," and be adds, There are still a number of foreign firms

or

in Japan, but their number is steadily dwindling, and those which remain find it

business," We are amazed that such

atement can be made by any one who has devoted any attention to the matter. There are more foreign firms established or represented in Japan today than there ever were, and the foreign population is continually increasing. A dozen years ago the late Captain Brinkley, also relying on Japanese sources for his information, predicted that before many years had pase- ed away the foreigner would in a large measure be excluded from the trade which be founded and did so much to develop. Whereas, he said, the Japanese in 1803 † had in their own hands only 17 per cent: of a total trade of 15 millions sterling, in 1907 they had 40 per cent, of a total trade of a millions. We pointed out at the time that, assuming the figures were accurate, they scarcely pointed to the disappearance of the foreign merabant, for whereas in 1803 the amount of trade handled by Toreigners

“was only" valued at £15,340,000,

it had increased in value in 1501 to £48,600,000. In other words, the propor- tion of trade handled by foreigners had decreased, but its amount had enormously increased. A similar conclusion in reached

It will thus be open that notwithstanding the great falling off in the proportion of trade in the hands of foreign merchants, the amount actually handled by them was larger than when their proportion of the trade was greater. Last year the aggre gate total of exports and imports amounted

at.

a value of Y.4.848,083,706. We have. been unable to obtain the exact proportions of the trade in the bands of Japanese and foreigners but are cold officially that it abunted to about 70 per cent, for the former and 20 per cent. for the latter. If that be correct, it would indicate ‘a sub- stantial rise in the foreign proportion from 201 to 30 per cent, which would make the foreign share reach * value of AY.1.394,425,110 against a Japanese share of Y.3,253,000arkable change in propor It is difficult to believe that such a tion took place within one year, but even if the proportions of the previous year rə

mained unchanged it will be seen that the amount of trade in the hands of foreigners. had again expanded in actual valne. But, if we eliminate the 1919 figures and revert to those of 1918, the increase in the actual amount of trade handled by foreigners is enormous when compared with the agurr for 3907..."

SUEZ CANAL COMPANY.

The-Clairman, Suez Canal Co., at the general meeting in an optimistic review referred to the revival of trafic and con- vered the impression that the pre-war pros perity of the concern had been fully re- stablished. He dwelt on the measures which had been adopted by the company to improve employers housing accommoda- tion and otherwise to amcliorate the some. what hard conditions of their existence Fifteen million frames are to be expended on the former accounts. The Port Said workshops have been transferred, to a new centre on the Asiatic side of the canal. It is"expected that this spot should shortly develop into an important town. The com pany has decided id introduce a profit-shar ing scheme in which all the employees will participate.
