JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
A peculiar commercial position has arisen during the period of war in regard to Japan’s trade with Asiatic Russia, In 1914 Japan imported from Asiatic Russia goods valued at £102,569. In 1915 the imports had increased in value to £356,449, and Japan, which was vigorously applying itself to the ; making of munitions, was drawing ail the raw material it could get from its near neighbour. Japan’s export trade with Asiatic Russia fell from £1,044,314 in 1914 to £13,894 in 1915. But the value of exports from Japan to European Russia increased from £196,780 in 1914 to £7,829,917 in 1915, showing that she was drawing the raw material from one part of the Russian Empire and sending it in a manufactured state to a more distant part of the Russian Empire.
