REFUSES ANOGOLDEilB Ishii Mission Failure, Says Reports, in Efforts to Induce Wash ington to Permit Exports Decision Means Ruin of Japan's Commerce and Shipbuilding Industry (Special Cable to Nippu Jiji) TOKIO. Japan, Oct. 11. Viscount K. Ishii's mission to the United States is apparently a complete failure as far as lifting the American steel and gold embargo is concerned. There is now absolutely little likelihood that exception to the steel nud gold embargo will be granted in favor of Japan. Japan's commerce with the United States will mark a sudden and catastrophic decrease in face of the American gold embargo, while the ship building industry in Japan will suffer a loss which might well amount to a ruin 1f expoytations from the United States of steel and Iron are stopped. 17 DROWNED WHEN NIPPON w cocci CTDItfCQ A ROPK ILWOUL OIIIHXUU n iiwwi (Special Cable to NiDfi JiiO TOKIO, Japan, Oct. 1 1 Seventeen persons are known to have been drowned in the sinking of the Junko Maru in Jse bay yesterday.

The Information has been obtained by the Japanese paper, from a reliable source in Wash ington. According to the Jiji's Washington special despatches Viscount Ishil re turned to Washington Monday from a visit to New York and a three days' rest in Atlantic City to reopen nego tiations with the proper American au thorities on the steel and gold em bargo questions which are generally regarded as a backbone of Ishii's mis cion. Jiji reports that Ishii is now in al most a hopeless position as far as the question of lifting the embargo on the steel and gold is concerned. The negotiations are said to be dead locked owing to the firmness of the stand of the United States govern ment in upholding the embargo. There is a big balance in payment to be made by the American importers to Japan, but even this was ordered stopped by the United . States say9 Jiji. No such payment, can be made on account of the-gold embargo. With apparent failure of Ishii to have. the embargo on American gold removed, Japan's commerce with the United States Is tottering and its roin is feared. In case that the lifting of this embargo cannot be secured by Ishii the barter will be a sole means of maintenance of trade between Ja pan and the United States. , Japan's expert to America, the experts esti mate, will show a decrease of from one-half to two-thirds.
