IMPROVEMENT OF FACILITIES FOR TRAVEL,
The Nicht-Nicht has an auticle in which it urges the improvement of the internal com munications of the country so that the influx of tourists into Japan may be encouraged. There is no doubt, says the Tokyo journal, that the number of tourists coming to Japan is year. ly increasing. In 1904 the number decreased in consequence of the war, yet it reached : 3,500. while during the second half of last year, with an assurance of pears in sight, visitors began to increase, the total reaching 15,000 in round figies. There is scarcely any doubt that the. incoming of Europeans and mericans into Japan will have « beneficial effect on Japanese politics, science, and art. At the same tinc
tourist traffic, financially considered, is a mast important s'ject. The part Japan played in the late war has induced foreigners to become interested in the country and he japanėse, nod has given them : n incentive to study the people and their institutions more cosely than was done before. If to this cf ss of visiters are added those who are attracted to these shores principally for the pops off asure, it is cor rect to assume that the number of tourists will
gradually increase. Estimating that each
visitor spends Ys, on an average in Japan. -the amount expended by suits in 1904 totalled 113 4 iltion yen, and millions in 1905. It is fikely tha the revenue from this source will increase s long as there arise no circums stances which would a versely affect tourist traffic. The question is, there' re, well worth serious consideration on the pay, of public men, During the last ten tears the balance of foreign traile has been unfavourable to Japan, continues the a ichi-Nichi, and Japan must pay to foreign creditors for many years to come 70 or Eo million yen annually a
hb principal andl interest on loans under such circums 11. tances, the number of fueign tourists and the amount of money peat by them in the country increase, it wilthave the effect of moderating ile outflow of specie. Ass of
optimistic critics advocate the panmotion of industry and the x- portation of inanufactures as a means of refund. ing the tons. While there soloubtless arch truth in what is urged, it must be bine in wind that Japan, unlike Aurica, has no practically inexhaustible natural resources, and also that there is a limit to the productive power of the people, however hard they may strive. The increased expart of manufactures, therefore, can hardly, be repaided as the only meaux of solving the financial problem, and the people ought to turn their attention in the directions. The attraction of foreign visitors to Japan in larger numbers is surely one of the metus to this end. The building of hotels, parks, and other pleasure resesta, the organisation of Guide Associations, etc., are all very well in their way, but they are in tiers of detail. What is more important is the perfection of the facilities for travel and communication, to raduen to a minimum the present obstacles and inconvenience incidental to travel. !! this is done the volenie"> f tourist traffic will increase without artificial encouragement. The improvement of the mechanisms of communica tion is necessary not only for the attraction of visitors but for the development of commerce and industry. Anyone who is conversant with the large revenue which I ady nodwitzerland derive from tourist traffic, noi ludes the Vicki Wild, will addy understand the inspurtant nature of the proposition,
