(Oorreapondence of th Associated Press.)
TOKIO, July tl.-"Kxpand Japan

whloh Dr. K. Miyaina brings back to his
follow . countrymen after an extensive
business trip throughout the American
rchlpelago. He sums up hi Impressions
In an article which he call "Japan In the
Philippine."
Pointing out that after th United
State come England and then Japan In
point of trade, the writer remark that
notwithstanding Japan's geographical ad
vantage over It rivals, It has been able
to surpass only Germany and China In
trading with th Islands. The Chinese, he
ays, ar specially strong in the interior,
but he think the native have little re
spect "for th cunning Chinese whose
way they do not ilk."
A for anti-Japanese sentiment. Dr.
Miyama 1 happy to say he found none
at all. H y: "Th natives, suffering
to soms extent from whit oppression,
hav llttl real respect for their mastera
In fact there seem everywhere to pre
vail a warmer friendship for th Jspan-
than for any other race, even the sav
age showing them kindness." Both th
American authorities and th native, he
declares, welcome th Japan and treat
them with dua consideration. :
"Th authorities are specially anxious
ta Introduce more labor front Japan as
th Japanese prove more satisfactory In
thl respect than do th natives, Th
whit hsmp companies utilise Japanese
labor a far as they can with very satis
factory results. Thus the demand for
Japanese labor In the Philippines Is al
most unlimited at present. New planta
tion are always being created: and the
new Industry of abaca promises-a phe
noroenal development that will still fur
ther Increase th demand for labor.
Dr. Miyama note that In th produc
tion of pearls th Japanese lead a tl ey
are the most fearless and skilful divers:
Indeed they now almost monopolise tills
enterprise. One big Japanese company
has forty-three boats and fishes by ma
chinery. But the business Is now suffer

the usual dirt, due to the extreme rainy
