BARON KATO
TELLS DFJAPS
FUTUBE PLANS
KIOTO Japan, June 22.—What many
Japanese people now regard as an im
portant political address, was deliver
ed recently by Baron Takaaki Kato,
former minister of foreign affairs, and
leader of the government Doshlkai par
ty, at the Inaugural meeting of the
Kioto branch of his party. Alluding to
Japan’s position in the present war.
Baron Kato declared that in his opin
ion the Anglo-Japanese alliance must
remain? the pillar of the nation’s di
plomacy.
The speaker said that Japan would
gain a reasonable compensation in re
turn for the part she has played In the
war, but he wished to emphasize that
Japan’s position was different from
that of her allies in Europe, inasmucn
as Japan’s activities have been re
stricted to the orient. The states
man warned his compatriots that
should they expect too much from the
peace conference they would be disap
pointed.
Turning his attention to the recent
attacks on the Anglo-Japanese alli
ance, Baron Kato expressed his re
grets that unfriendly comments should
have been made. It was certain, he
said, that they were confined to poli
ticians and lay academicians. What
the scholars voiced was the more dan
gerous, he declared, because although
these men may not know much about
practical diplomacy, the masses of the
people are likely to be misled by their
scholastic attainments and believe thev
arc right. The ex-minister added:
“It would be most regrettable if our
people are led to any erroneous con
ception of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
for I regard it as the main pillar of
cur diplomacy.”
Baron Kato said he understood that
the critics based their objections to
the alliance on the attitude of British
officials and merchants in China who
were alleged to be hindering Japan
ese undertakings in that country and
on their belief that the formation ot
; an alliance with Russia would render
the pact with Great Britain useless. It
was true, he thought, that some Brit
ish merchants in China has contin
ually slandered Japan and her peo;
pie, but he was convinced that these
Englishmen did not represent Great
Fritain.
As for the alliance with Russia,
’ Faron Kato declared it the height of
[ folly to imagine that it could be form
[ ed and maintained independently of the
i Anglo-Japanese alliance. He, for one,
i would welcome an alliance with Rus
i sia, he said, but he was convinced that
it could be made only on the strength
I of the pact with Great Britain, and
that it must be supplementary to that
alliance.
“When the peace conference is held,
the Anglo-Japanese alliance must be
the basis of our policy, and Japan must,
of course, co-operate with Russia and
France,” Baron Kato concluded. “If
Japan goes astray from this policy her
position will become very difficult. It
is most important that our people
should recognize the delicate diplo
matic relationship and endeavor to
smooth the way that lies before us
for generations to come.”
Because of Baron Kato's influence
among the men who direct the Japan
of today, his public utterances are re
garded by many of his compatriots sb
more or less representing official opin
ion.

LONDON, June 2". —The London
Chamber of Commerce at a recent
special meeting adopted resolutions
favoring reciprocal trading relations
between the British Empire and Allied
countries after the war; preferential
reciprocal trading relations between
all parts of the British Empire; favor
able treatment of neutral nations; reg
ulation by’tariff or otherwise of trade
relations, and for stimulating the de
velopment of home manufacturers and
the consequent increased employment
of native labor; and that steps should
be taken to rre vent dumping (and un
der valuation) of “enemy goods” into ■
British markets after the war.
It was suggesi ?d that a tentative
tariff ofr five years on an ad valorem
basis might be applied, subject to nego
tiations with all parties concerned for
the settlement of a scientific tariff with
special duties, if the latter should
eventually be considered preferable.
The Dominions should, however, be
left free to determine their fiscal rela
tions with Allied neutral and “enemy”
countries unless it were agreed that
the Home and Dominion governments
should act together in the negotiations.
After consultation with various inter
ests a committee drew up a tentative
tariff the duties under wihich vary
from 30 per eent maximum to 10 per
cent maximum, ad valorem, for wholly
manufactured goods, to five per cent
maximum on raw’ foodstuffs (some
bein, gadmitted free). Raw’ materials
would be exempt from duty. Alcoholic
drinks, tobacco and other articles now
svbject to duties would bear an extra
fifty per cent when imported from
enemy countries and a substantial
duty would be imposed on German and
Austrian mineral waters.

“BLESSING THE CATCH” IS
STILL CUSTOM IN FRANCE
PARIS, June 22 —The ceremony of
"the blessing of the catch” that pre
cedes each spring the departure of the
French cod-fishing fleets for Icelandic
waters and the bank of Newfoundland,
has lost none of its interest or pic
turesqueness, though the fleets are con
siderably diminished, on account of the
war.
The fleets of Fecamp, Paimpol, Saint
Malo, Cancale, Saint Servan and Gran
ville altogether are sending out about
100 vessels this year, as against 300
that composed the combined fleets be
ofre the war. The steam trawlers
were nearly all requisitioned by the
government, and a great many mem
bers of the crews were mobilized. This
year 3,000 of these mobilized men have
been given leave from the army in
order to prevent the cod-fishing indus
try from declining to the point of dis
aster. The war has shown France the
importance of her fisheries, and al
ready ways and means of improving
their facilities after the war are being
discussed.
While the cod catch will be greatly
inferior to the average again this year,
there will be plenty of Cancale oysters
for the women have replaced the mob
ilized men in the important annual
catch of seed oysters off the Breton
coast.
It is really a man’s work, for the
barks are heavy and the six sails are
neither light nor easily managed. But
the women handle them, with as much
skill as courage, and the season’s

TH AMERICA BECAUSE WAR
BERLIN, June 22.—The war will
probably lead to the further transfer
of Europe’s art treasures to the United
States, in the opinion of Prof, von
board, general director o fthe Royal
Museum at Berlin. Prof, ion Bode
gives several reasons; that the war is
making a great increase in the wealth
of many Americans; and that the
breaking up of several of the great
private collections in America, includ
ing that of the late J. P. Morgan, and
the acquisition of many of their
choicest pictures by public art mus
eums will tend strongly to develop
the demand ofr good art works. Pro f .
Bode declares that in this way the
public colections of New York, Boston,
Washington ,and Chicago .together
I with dozens of cities not yet identl
ned with art in an international sense,
will become equal to those of European
cities.
* This fresh demand for art works in
the United States, Prof Bode says, will
strike Europe at a time when people
on this side will be forced to sell in
k order to get money to pay their debts.
Many fine old pictures now owned by
private collectors in Europe, and par
ticularly in England, will in this way
jfind their way across the Atlantic, he
thinks.

I
I catch of oysters to be taken shoreward
for breeding purposes will not fall far
short of the average.
