ASPIRATIONS OF JAPAN
Trade Alliance With America Almost Assured, Says Kaneko.
CLAIMS THAT NO RIVALRY EXISTS

The Baron Ayers Japanese Will Gladly Welcome Commerce With Us-tsMore to the Eagle Than the Feathers Which CIothe That Bird,D Says MiIxado's Envoy-Not to Send His s%eopIe Here.
 There is more to the American eagle than the feathers which clothe that mo- ble bird. The American eagle when she stretches her wings might touch one tip on England and the other tip on Japan"
 So said Baron Kentaro Kaneko to a New York Herald reporter little while before he left New York the other day.
 'This simile," continued the baron, Sis one that hope the American peo- pie will take seriously. We have an al liance for trade with England. We have an alliance in good fellowship and earnest good will with America. Why should we not have commercial alliance with the United States? Why should not the tip of the wing of the eagle, which reaches to the Philippines, reach to JapanT
 Why" asked the reporter, should there be an alliance, do you think?'
 Because there is every reason to ac- centuate 1t. Because Japan is not a competitor with the United States.
 I've of Japan try to think and act. We have acted in the last year. We have also thought However, we are not through thinking; also we are not through acting" What will happen? Do you think there is any prospect that the United States will become a monarchy, or will it stay indefinitely as 1t is, a republicT'
 "The United States will always be a democratic republic. The only mon archy or autocracy that Is possible in the United States is an oligarchy."
 And JapanY
 | 'Japan will never be republic. Ja- pan today Is as near republic as any constitutional monarchy can be except England. England thinks 1t Is mon archy, but 1t is not England Is a re [ public There Is quite as much of the ! free eagle, of the soaring eagle, in Eng land as there Is in America. In Eng land they have king. In America you i do not need one"
 'Is there possibility, do you think of trade alliance between the United States and Japanf'
 'Tt is better than a possibility. hope that it is almost assured. Japan stands with open arms to, the United States. It is up to the United States to use one of your expressions, tc make good"
 Docs the mikado, or the emperor rather, personally feel an inclination toward encouraging trade with thu United statesT"
 q have not the right to speak fol the emperor. But personally I am sure \ that hei does. am also sure tffdf ev cry intelligent Japanese will be only too glad of a commercial arrangement between the United States and Japan We have come to know the Unites States. We have learned to know ths American people very much better than we ever knew them before. Sine, the days of Commodore Perry Japar has been a sort of side issue in | commercial and diplomatic sense tc the United States. I realize that th, side issue phase is over. I realiz' that Japan Is now world power. think that the people of the United States also realize the same thing. '
 "we want Japan to hold her plac' proudly and distinctly with the othel powers of the world. We realize ant appreciate the kindness that the Amer lean people have expressed toward Ia pan. I think I can see an era of glori ous prospects. Our flag. you know, | that of tine rising sun. It rose severa years ago and dropped. It has nov risen again"
 srwffl Japan now make an effort t encourage emigration to the Unitet States. do ycu thinkf"
 Japan never makes an effort to senC colonists where her flag does not fly Japan never encourages emigration t any spot in the. world that Is not [ Japanese colony. That is why KoreI and southern Manchuria give an out let for supernuous population. W, have, according to the reports of las year. 100000 more people than we hat the year before Those people mus go somewhere. Formose, Manchuri: and Korea are now happily the safetl valves of Nippon. We have place t' let off steam.
 There Is still a certain section O Japan to be populated. the northern part. It Is hard work to send colonist up there in that barren region. refe to Yeddo It is hard. cold and sterile It is not attractive. We have neve been able to crowd our extra popula tion In that direction. Pioneers ST fmuch the same. whether they are iron New England or whether they ar from Tokyo. They want and need fer tile fields and a kind climate. Yedd loes not give them that"
 But America does"
 Quite SO. but America does not n. the rising sun of Japan for her has The Japanese government does not en courage emigration to America. It ney CT has The Japanese government real Izes the embarrassing position that th United States has been put under D. the Chinese influx.
