TAFT PATS
 LAPS ON BACK

TOXIC, oct. Secretary Taft. on the "y" of his departure today for Kobe where he will embark on the steamer Minnesota for Manila, said:
 "The magnificent welcome accorded me by the government and people of Japan k most significant sign of the relations existing between Japan and the United States. I am confident that both countries will continue to be as friendly as they have in the past and not afford occasion for misrepresenta- = tion by anybody"
 At the express wish of the emperor American Ambassador O'Brien post poned the arrangements for the pre- sentation of his credentials until after , the departure of Taft. The emperor said he did not desire that OBrfen's audience should be concurrent with that of Secretary Taft as it might ap- pear to belittlc his reception as am bassador.
 Count Katsura, ex-premier and a member of the military council of the empire. in an interview said today:
 q am delighted that Mir Taft's brief visit has ben made the occasion for an indisputable demonstration of the friendly relations between Japan and the United States. Attempts have been made to misrepresent the existing re- latons of the countries, but they must be attributed to the work of interested parties and are hardly deserving of serious consideration
 "Thr whole situation was talked over between Mir. Taft and myself two years ago, on the occasion of his last visit here. A perfect understanding was then arrived at between the au- thorities of both governments and no change has since been made therein. firmly believe that nothing can shake the foundation on which the historical relations of both countries are built. There is nothing more absurd than tho rcy of war between the United States and Japan, and Mr Taft has now. by his great speech so widely reported, put an indelible seal on the cordial re- lations and perfect understanding ex- isting."
