JAPAN BUILT IN SIXTY YEARS
Baron Hayashi, tho Japanese Ambassador, in an address to a crowded gathering at the Indian Students Union and Hostel, Keppel Street, said it was, he thought, ono of the wonders of tho world that in the course of about sixty years one could create Japan—its shipping, Navy, Army, and commerce —as seen to-day. Japan’s modern life was actually only about fifty-seven years old. During that short period they had had to build up all that was seen to-day. They had to create education and everything else. They had no foreign trade, having nothing to sell, except, perhaps, certain curios.
