"What objection Japan can hare to the polley from an economie point of view I cannot see. China will now maintain a low rate of exchange and this will benefit exports at the expense of imports. Japan will benefit from the re duced prices of experts just as other countries. from the higher price the Chinese must pay for imported goods. All countries will be effected in just the same way, except that Japan may feel that now the exchange is low China will supply what Japan once sup- pited for her, and therefore Japan will be harder hit than countries who never sold China very much.
