NOT FOR ARMAMENTS
Scrap-iron From Dominion JAPANESE VISITOR’S VIEW Dominion Special Service Dunedin, November 6. Asked if he could explain Japan’s reason for her recent, purchases of scrap metal, Mr. S. Okamoto, who is at present visiting Dunedin, emphatically denied that the metal was to be used in the manufacture of armaments. Only the best of metal, he pointed out, could be used for this purpose, and ; actually such scrap as had already been bought was to be utilised in connection with a comprehensive. programme of railway extension which the -Japanese Government had laid down. Mr. Okamoto also said that, while New Zealand was comparatively unknown in Japan, Australia was widely advertised and was, in consequence, doing a large trade with his country. He felt sure that if the beauties of the Dominion and its resources could be placed before ills people and a direct steamer service between tlie two countries inaugurated, New Zealand would receive many visitors from “The Land of the Cherry Blossom” every year.
