zuki, japanese statesman of cabi-
net rank and ambassador plenipo-
tentiary from his country to The
Hague conference, is quoted in a
Herald cable today, as saying:
"Of all the countries in the world.
the United States is the very last ia
pan seeks any trouble with. The
United States has been our best
friend. The understanding between
our respective governments is per-
tect So 1t is, / most firmly believe,
between the intelligent people Of both
countries"
To a question regarding the send
ing of the American fleet to the Pa
citic, Tzuzuki replied:
Il say without hesitation that ia
pan would look upon the cruise with
the idea that no better time than the
present could be chosen, Just when
the two governments are in most
perfect accord"
Admiral Shimamura who was with
the ambassador when the statement
was made, coincided entirely with
Tzuzuld's views.

Has No Feeling in Heart
For War.

Toxic, Japan, July 1.-THE mass
ing of the American fleet in the Pa
clhc, about which the American
papers have appealed to Marquis Ito
Tor an opinion, Is semi officially dis
cussed by Ito's administration paper
today.
1t says: 1--WE cannot help feeling
some misgiYing with regard to the
significance of the intent of massing
the American battleships in the Pa
ciilc' especially in view of the grand
lose announcement attributed to the
president to the effect that the navy
VIII furnish the world with a starti-
ing demonstration of Americas de-
tenslve capacity.
ut Is difficult for us to accept the
assurance that the coming maneuvers
ever with the Japanese-American sit
uatlon. We regret that the Wash
ington government thinks Il neces-
sary to take what resembles a pre-
cautionary measure.
However, we are not disposed to
attack any serious importance to this
matter, and have no inclination to
doubt the presidents sincerity in as
suring US Of the peaceful nature Of
the proposed maneuvers.
Does Not Want War.
Neither have We the slightest
doubt OF the pacific and friendly sem
tlments of the American government
The people towards whom Japan's
blame Is probably due, are irrespon-
sible for the actions of both nations"
Ito declines a discussion regard
ing the sensational agitation of the
press. His sole comment on the
probability of war is:
There IS no feeling In my heart
for this"
