It is a welcome report on the economic and financial condition of Japan which is' indirectly conveyed to this country th~ough the speech of Thomas W, La· niont at. the \Bankers' Club of Tok~o; In the press of the world naws we are sel. dom granted much iroorm\tion upon things J a,Plmeae unless events· are so . striking-a typhoon, a financial panic, the birth of a daughter to the Empres~ that their importance overcomes the bar- rier of distance. We aro glad to accept 'With·1rj:r. Lamont the assurances of the J\panese hankers that. thoul\:h the situa- tion has been bad and still has its diffi· eultie,s, they have it well in hand and are looking forward confidently to a' gradual but sure return to normal con· o dinons. The severe crisis which Japan . lil.$ met 1;0 courageously was primarily , due to the' overexpansion of bu&iness following the war, and secondarily to the , disastrous earthquake of 1923. It seemed for a while to threaten the whole finan- eial fabric of the kingdom, but the J)rompt and efficient action of the co~n try's fit!ancial and industrial leaders enabled Japan to rise triumphant from this threatened disaster as it had risen triumphant from the ashes of its dev- astatin'g earthquake,' There is a quality j)f re.s:overy in the Japanese which arouses the admiration of the Western world quite as much as its liability to natural disasters awakens Western sym- pathies.
