NO OFFENSE MEANT
FOR UNITED STATES
OFFICIAL. STATEMENT is MADE
CONCERNING THE RECENT
RIOTS IN TOXIC AND THE
CAUSES LEADING TO TPSSM.

Washington, September 16.-An official
report concerning the recent anti-treaty
riots in Toxic was today received by tho
Japanese legation. on the bases OF this
report Mr.. Hiokio, charge daffaires Of
Japan, said today:
MY adyIces from Toxic do not at
tempt to minimize the Importance of af-
fairs as they exis d. The condition was
regarded as deplorable by the govern
ment as we'll as by the people. 1t gave
painful surprise to the Japanese, how
ever. to see that the action Of riotous
mob, Joined by the worst elements OF
the city, degenerated from an intended
orderly political meeting into riot, and
should be regarded in foreign countries
as a reflection Of the general national
sentiment.
THE immediate provocation of the
riotous outbreak was the action of the
police, who sought to prevent a political
mass meeting, and not the slightest feel
ing of hostility toward foreigners In gem
eral or Americans in particular entered
into the spirit of the mob. The action
of the police in forbidding the holding
of the mass meeting infuriated the crowd
and the destruction of property followed.
but l can positively state that the ques-
ton of nationality OF the owners of prop
erty had nothing to do with this vandai-
ism. NO personal injury was done to
foreigners. OF course there are many
Japanese who are disappointed at the
terms of the peace treaty and II Is nat
ural that they should express their dis
appointment, but the majority OF the
thinking class Of my country deprecates
the rlotous action and regrets the In
furious impression concealed by these dis
turbanees. ] am authorized to state that.
notwithsta nding what differences of opin-
ion may exist in Japan over the terms
of peace, there Is strong united and
friendly feeling toward the United States
and deep appreciation OF the earnest i'm
perial and sincere good will which has
attended the efforts of President Roose-
