Toxic, July 9.-Asahi Monday pub
fishes an interview with an influen-
tiallJapanese naval expert, who says:
1T would be improper to infer a
demonstration in the transfer Of the
American fleet to the Pacific. This
movement IL part Of a prearranged
plan and is a result of the, constant
growth Of the American navy and the
increasing Importance Of Pacific in
terests from the strategical point OF
view. No significance need be at
tached until at least 80 ships have
been transferred to the Pacific"
The Asahi also publishes an edi-
torial article setting forth the same
views. It regrets the American fleet
can not visit Japan in order to en-
able Japan to reassert her sincerity
and reciprocate the naval hospital
Ity extended to the visiting Japanese
warships at jamestown. The paper
also urges the abrogation Of Article
II OF the existing commercial treaty
in order to put an end to the cause
Of the antiJapanese feeling at San
Francisco.
Almost all the newspapers treat
the matter with calmness finding It
is natural for the United States to re-
distribute its naval forces as result
OF It's imperial policy. They, too, gen.
