OF POSSIBLE CONFLICT WITH

NEW YORK, Feb. 17,-"Too hellish
TO be thought Of"
That's the way Baron Kogoro Taxa

his opinion on the possibility OF war
between his country and the United
States.
The baron arrived on the Cunard
liner Etruria yesterday. direct from
Rome, where he had been minister for
Japan.
cit Is impossible, In my opinion"
said Baron Takahira. for any man
OF any sanity to think OF war between
the two people. in spite OF the sin
cere friendship actually existing be-
tween them. II Is too hellish TO think
Of. a crime against humanity, against
civilization, against the wellbeing OF
mankind.
Il may say that am the same man
as I was and OF the same mind as
when I left Washington to return TO
Japan In December, 1905.
During my absence from this coun-
try, questions have arisen about Sc
gregation of Japanese school children
In the schools OF the Pacific coast and
about Japanese immigration. l can
not, OF course, tell you at this moment
how will deal with what will require
my attention. Yet. In spite OF all the
excitement and speculation repeated
from time. to time during the discus
| sion OF these questions, there never
has been a change In the friendship
Of the two governments. They are
both as sincere as ever In these
| dial relations"
