A Wtutorial Kacord Made ia
Raising Meaty far War Par*
Detroit Free Proee.
If it bad been asserted eighteen
months ago that Japan would
be able, in an emergency, to
raise $787,000,000 for tbe pur
pose of waging warfare against
a European nation, the state
ment would have been given
little credence, yet this is tbe
remarkable showing made by
that nation. Not only that, bat
tbe loans negotiated abroad
have been upon terms which
bespeak tbe confidence tbe rest
of the world has in the Mikado’s
people and tbeir future. The
initial foreign loans of $110,000.
000 were in short-term bonds,
upon which Japan eras required
to pay 6 per cent, interest sod
pledge the customs duties as
security. These were nego
tiated in May and November,
1904, but when Japan again
found it necessary to go abroad
last March tbe tide of battle
had turned in her favor to q de
gree that made the placing of
$150,000,000 at 4 yi per cent, an
easier matter than was the
negotiating of tbe earlier loans
s: a much higher rate. The
recent loan of another $150,000,*
000 was likewise arranged on a
similar basis without the slight
est trouble, in both instances
the tobacco monopoly being
pledged as security for the in
terest. Besides tbe amount
Japan has borrowed abroad, it
has raised by exchequer bonds
at home since the beginning of
the war $190,000,000. the last in
stallment being over-subscribed
by tbe tbe patriotic Japanese to
the extent of nearly 500 per
cent. ^Increased taxation has
Selded $106,300,000; economies
administration, $48,200,000;
transfers-from special accounts,
$31,500,000 and from other
sources mote than $1,000,000.
bringing the total amount raised
for the prosecution of the
war again* Russia np to $787,*
Rvca note remarkable than
Japan’s ability to raise money
la the (act that is spite of the
war there baa come oo material
depression in industrial and
commercial lints at boose, the
aatioa today briny in a pros
perous condition. This may be
aecooated for largely by the
(act that the coaatrv derives
