Mr. Nishimura further naked why the term of of February, to SATURDAY, the 27th Febxu- operation of the law was not fixed in the Hillary, both days inclusive. He pointed out that the minimum baptifica tions of the steamers—3,020 100s'and rfiwers —was all very well, byl need might arise for raising this standard.
The Vice-Minister of Communications re plied that no inconvenience would be felt by adding to that standard in future,
Mr. Nishimura said that the total value of the trade of Japan with South America for 1906 was not more than Y.500,003, including exports and imports, and the subsidy to be granted to the South. American service would reach about Ypoa,coo. It was strange that a subsidy granted to the steam service should ex ceed the total value of trade with the çountries to which the service would ply. The total number of emigrants who had sexled in Soob America did not exceed 10,000. Did the Government see any real necessity for opening a steam service to South-America.
