WASHINGTON, July 19-Much interest
was aroused ia fficial circlesyesterday by
the publication of long statement pur-
porting to contain an extract from dis
patch sent by Secretary Gresham to the
Japanese government, saying that the
| United States government views with
| regret the levying of an unjust war by
japan upon a weak and defenseless ma
ton like Corea. Immediately efforts
were made TO confirm the story for it
WIS assumed that if the secretary was
correctly quoted, he had gone TO the ex-
treme in thus addressing the japanese
government and the result would be Sc
rious diplomatic complications, as the
Japanese government would be sure to
| resent the secretary's expressions and
| unwarrantablei interference. 1t happen
ed that Secretary Gresham was indls-
| posed today and Kept his room In the
| Arlington, but he was induced to send
| word that he could not at this time say
| anything either in denial or In the
| affirmative of the publication, as the cor
| respondence was still in progress and to
| make an impartial voluntary publica-
ton would violate diplomatic practice.
| Since the subject has attracted so much
| attention, however, he will be most GER
| tain TO recall the correspondence and in
that case the secretary's scr0ples will
not be strained by making a full and
complete response.
