should be employed in developing the
domestic wealth nnd in strengthening
the foundation of Japan's resources
in international exchange.
The premier said the war threat
ened to involve the whole world. The
participation of the United States in
the conflict be declared, was partic
ularly satisfactory to Japan, "be
cause it materially strengthened the
ties of interest binding Japan and
America.'

licvcd the political change in Russia
was seriously important hilt that it
did not affect Hussiu's hostile atti

cultivate friendly relations with for
eign nations and develop her external
trade. He coupled with sutisfuctii.ui
the empire's great material prosperity
with u warning of the dangers of an
unsatisfactory business morality, a
tendency towards strife between cap
italists and laborers nnd a degener
ation of free speech into the publica
tion of matters calculated to under
mine the national policy.
