TOKIO. Jan. 2<> (by Associated
Press). Huron Takahnshi. Japan's
finance minister recently warned the
members of the Japan Trade associo
lion, that they should pay close at
tention to the fact that while Japan
had gained material prosperity from

probale that the allied peoples by
their sufferings and privations had
more than offset their material losses
by their moral progress.
Japan, said the minister, had placed
her goods abroad largely because for
eign customers could not get what
they wanted from other countries
There had been complaints of the
quality of goods exported from Japan,
and every thing should be done to
keep up the standard. He suggested
that individual activity In trade and
industries should be systematically
trained and organized.
