With regard to the important, question of journal continues:-"It is announced that the disposal of the new loan, the Tokyo half the amount of the loan-25 million pounds sterling is to be applied for the re- demption or withdrawal of the first and second foreign loans; the means of redemption or 1213] withdrawal to be determined later on. It is

open to doubt, however, whether the holders A. CHAZALON

of the old bonds would consent to exchange with the new bands before the expiry of the time stipulated in terms profi able to the Japan sa Treasury.. If the time stipulated bad expired the case would be of course diferent and matters would be simplified. But at present the Japanese. Government has no such ad. vantage. The redemption of the 6 per cent. foreign loan, as announced in the Imperial Ordinance, would probably mean the buying up of the bonds in the market, but it is pro blematical whether this can be done without greatly forcing up the quotations. As to the re demption of the domestic war boads this may be erected much easier as no term is stipulated, And the benefit to the country of redeeming loans of 6 per cent. with a loan of 4 per cent. would be great.

loans, as is intended, will fessen the burdens of the country, however, remains to be seen."

The Nichi-Nicht is surprised at what it describes as the recklessly stupid financial, policy, pursued by the Government. "We have repeatedly offered advice to the Govern ment," our contemporary remarks in a tone of despair," to the danger of having re- course to foreign loans in consolidating the post-bellum finance, adducing incontrovertible figures and statistics, but it has failed to take heed of our warning. Nothing but an object' lesson would seem of avail to bring those in authority to the real sense of the situation. It is deplorable that owing to the thoughtless action of the Government the people should undergo an experience more bitter than that following the Japan China war of 1894-5."

"It is rather surprising," the Nichi-Nicki' goes on to observe, "that although the terms for the Betation of 25 million pounds sterling, to ha applied to the refinding of domestic loans, are announce.l, the terms for the remain. ing half of the loan are withheld. Perhaps this is done lest, if the terms are announced; the quotations of the old foreign loans will be forced up, But it is inexplicable what necessi

y there is for replacing the old loans with the new before the period stipulated, for their redemption has arrived. The only means to

redeem the old bonds at present would be fr The Government to go to the market as a buver, Then the 6 per cents, which are now quoted at over £102, would further ap: preciate in price and the object for which the buying is intended would be frustrated. If, on the other hand, the Government waits until the period for redemption arrives the bonds would then be redeemed at their face value and there could be the danger of lacurring loss to the Treasury, which must be inevitable should the Government attempt to buy them up on the market 41 the ruling price. It is the more suT. prising that the Government seriously contem- plates the redemption of domestic foins with money obtained by the new loan at a time when a large amount of money should be raised by means of loans to defray the expenditure re quired for the evacuation of Manchuria and various past-balium undertakings. At present the domestic money market is generally dull, but there is no doubt that an active demand for capital will arise sooner or later. If a large amount of money is unloaded on the market at this moment circulation will become mors and more lax, and the, expansion of currency will inevitably cause a rise in the prices of general commodities. A mania" for the promotion of sequel, with a consequent demand for capital various enterprises will occur as a natural and a tightness of the market. That the business world will be ultimately plunged into a panic such as that experienced after the war of 1894-5 ja me clear as daylightsim. Despite this the Go, by the introduction of foreign capital, a policy vernment attempts to disturb the money market sa thoughtless as it is inexplicable."..
