(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—A special
Japanese finance commission has
been established to carry on the work
of investigating the financial and
economic measures adopted by the
powers to meet the exigencies aris-1
ing out of the great world war, the'
purpose of its investigations being to
furnish Japan with instructive inform-'
ation as to ways and means Tor furth
ering the development of the empire
both during and after the war. In
pursuance of this purpose persons, of
ficials and private individuals, having
ability and experience in the treat
ment. of the subjects concerned, are
to be selected from time to time, and
charged with this important mission.
A statement issued concerning the
composition and purpose of the com
mission says: j
“As the first step, Baron Megata,'
chief of the commission and his asso
ciate commissioners have been ordo~
ed to proceed to the United States, the
power now most closely related to
this Empire (Japan) in many respects.
It is with extraordinary determination
that the United States has joined in
the war. The financial measures
which she has adopted for the time of
m
the war, and the economic policies -
which she has framed for the period ^
to follow the war, have been planned
on a large scale and with great fore
sight, so that they will naturally bring ^
about an entirely new situation in the j
Industrial and monetary circles of the j
world.
“Therefore, the sending of these
commissioners to the United States,
in order to enable them to observe
personally the conditions actually ex
isting in that country and so to cre
ate between the two nations a hotter
undersanding which shall serve to'
promote the mutual interest, of both
countries, will not only be instru
mental in furthering relations of in
timacy between Japan and the United
States but also will have the good ef
fect of bringing into clearer light the
industrial and financial fields of this
empire, both during and after the war.
That the United States will hold a
dominant position in the money mar
ket of the world after the war seems
quite certain, and consequently to *
strengthen the basis of cooperation
with her is tanamount to advancing
the economic position of this empire.
“In the selection of the commision
ers, comparatively many appointments
have been made from business cir
cles, in as much as the necessity of j
making the investigation a combined j
effort of both government and people j
has been keenly felt bv the authori
ties”
