to Take 100 Students to Mi

BALTIMORE. Nov. u.-Dr. Masujl
hIiyakawa, the japanese lawyer. who
represented his country in the San
Francisco school controversy, and
prominent in diplomatic circles in
Washington. in an interview in this city
today, said a movement is being started
IN Japan TO take over To that country
next March a party of 100 representa-
tives of American newspapers of high
standing to have them study conditions
there. DIT. Niyakawa says the plan
has already been formulated and ap-
proved by the Emperor.
In course Of his remarks. the japanese
lawyer said:
We Of Japan look on America as a
prescribed nation. Your papers here
give the people the news and mold
their opinions. Count Okumd and
President OsanO and President Yusen.
OF two steamboat lines, are among the
leaders in a movement TO take advan-
taSe of that condition for the benefit of
Japan.
Wants Editors to Know.
They think, as do many Of our prom
insnt men. that If the newspapers would
once know conditions in Japan and see
just how the two countries interests
are cohesive, there would be little
chance for Jingo news of war 10 creep
into the columns of the papers those
men edit-they would know. Now, they
do not know.

whom hold the Emperor as a descend

The doctor is more than a lawyer.
and he is also a diplomat. He closed his
eyes and smiled.

war, but you are practically unprotect-

and take San Francisco and pour into
