CRUISE is NO AFFAIR OF JAPAN
Visit to Pacific Waters Need Give
None Offense.

Washington-"No such relation ex-
lists between America and Japan as
would make it improper to send the
American fleet into the Pacific. If
there were, the relations between
America and Great Britain and the
relations between America and
France, which are the same, would
forbid the maintenance of the battle
ship fleet in the Atlantic ocean"
This was the reply returned by Sec
rotary Root to the direct question as
to whether Japan had entered any
protest against the dispatch of Ad-
miral Evans fleet to the Pacific next
December. The statement was made
at the conclusion Of a long conference
between Secretary Root and Ambas-
sador Aoki of Japan at the state de-
partment.
