AIM OF JAPAN
OUSTING BRITISH GOODS. armament expenditure. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, August 26. The Financial Times reports that Japanese trade guilds are supporting the Government proposal to send a mission to South America and elsewhere with a view to driving out British goods if Britain fails to satisfy Japan in the forthcoming conversations from which the latter hopes for little, as all the Japanese trade profits are at present sunk in armaments. Japan is spending enormous sums to bring her navy to full parity with England and America, threatening the country with bankruptcy. England and America are considered unlikely to enter into agreements in the interests of Japanese trade unless Japan agrees to a disarmament policy, enabling the raising of revenue for balancing the Budget, relieving the heavily taxed masses and stemming the present dangerous social and political unrest.
