JAPAN'S FINANCIAL BOGEY

The Price She Is Paying For

There is one bright spot for the Chinese in the present undeclared war being waged on their soll, and that is that as far as Japan is concerned, the war cannot go on much longer. For, whereas the Japanese military "adventure in China has only tended to CON- solidate China's forces and unite her people. It is precipitating a serious national crisis in the Island Empire. JI

Since the

commencement

of

Japan's ambitious expansionist Programme, the financial burden of the Japanese people has suffer- cd an enormous increase. The Manchurian adventure cost Japan dearly, and her people were still paying for it at the time Japan's militarists plunged the nation into another war. In 1930, the Nation-

At the very outset she appropriated Y527,000,000, and of this sum only Y102,000,000 was realized by the increase in taxation, and the re- mainder by the issue of bonds. When the hostilities broke out in Shanghai, another Y2,000,000,000. was needed, and this was raised by further taxation and the further issue of bonds. So far there have been as many as three bond issues, and a further one to the amount of Y500,000,000 is being contem- plated.

Defending counsel stated that the question of an appeal would

Mr. C. Gwatkin, prosecuting, said that on Dec. 10, 1935, Powell entered a chemist's shop at Wel- ling, Kent. and said that he wanted drugs, including a tube of morphine sulphate tablets.

On a piece of notepaper He gave prescription and signed it "M.R.C.S." He was supplied with the morphine sulphate, but the assistant told him that the other drugs were not in stock.

Powell gave an address in Nor- thumberland-avenue, W.C., but the chemist was unable to find him at that address.

and it has since increased to Yen 10,500,000,000. The Japanese peo- ple know that whether or not Japan emerges victorious, the financial burden of her military adventure will have to be borne by them in years to comie.
