JAPAN MAY TREAT WITH AMERICA
M Kurino Hints at Possible Understanding
with United States.

saying that the series of treaties between Great
Britain, France. Russia and Japan, guarantee
ing the territorial Status quo in the Far East,
implied an engagement TO prevent other coun-
tries from acquiring territory there. NJ. Kurino
denied that the Franco-Japanese understanding
was in any way aimed at the United States.
adding
Japan. in spite of the San Francisco incident,
has always been most sympathetic with the
United States because America was the first to
treat the japanese people on a footing of equal
ity. If Japan could obtain advantages from an
understanding with the United States, 1t is en-
tire1y probable that the government at TOXIC
would not hesitate to negotiate with wash
ington
NJ Kurino added that Germany had no pos
sessions in the Far East Kiao-Ch being sim
ply leased Chinese ground, treaty with her
similar to the one between Japan and France
would be useless.

My Dear Mr.. Pringle
Nothing that has been spoken or written that

versy has pleased me much as your letter and
editorial. In my letter | wished TO drive a
wedge In between the honest. law abiding man
with whom l feel such hearty sympathy-and
those worst foes of the movement who preach
anarchy and lawless violence; just as l wish TO
see wedge driven between the capitalist who
is an oppressor swindler and the capitalist
who strives 10 do right by all his fellowship
man who IS an American citizen first and a
capitalist second. Above all. I want TO express
my absolute agreement with your final para
graph. running follows:
The Labor World has not a word To utter regarding
the guilt or innocence OF Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone in their present terrible position. We hope
they are innocent and will he proved 10 be So but
Of the preferred charge against them will not in
our estimation eNonerate them from the charge OF
preaching an industrial and social policy that is
damaging to the best interests Of the wage workers
Of the country.
With all good wishes believe me. sincerely
yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
