Relations with JaDau-

We are glad 10 note that there is a re-
action against the feeling that has been
more or less pronounced throughout the
United States for some months that IN
some mysterious way We were in danger
Of a war with Japan.
Il cannot be denied that We have
been watching Japan. and she has been
watching Us, a bit too closely for entire
and cordial friendship. Fer instance.
there was no doubt that Japan became
rather needlessly agitated over the plank
in the Democratic platform demanding
the exclusion Of Asiatic immigration.
When the Toxic Asahi declared that it
refrained from commenting upon that
plank. lest II might fan the popular III
feeling against the United States it did
the very thing IL had expressed itself as
desir0Us Of avoiding. Nor need II be
forgotten that the Japan Mail. the most
influential newspaper published in Eng
nsh in Yokohama. printed an innamma-
tory column. associating that plank Of
the Democratic platform with the jingo-
isic speeches Of Capt Hobson
Much q ;he change in the public at
tirude Of our relations with Japan has
been brought about through the tactful-
ness and forceful utterances OF the United
States Minister 20 Japan. who has been
on a visit 20 this country To his words
the greatest weight must be attached.
for he speaks soberIy. with fun knowl-
edge Of the facts gathered first hand. and
with an evident desire % do his whole
duty 20 the country which he represents.
And 50 We may regard as the latest au-
thOritatve word on the subject this Ut
terance Of Ambassador O-Buen:

bassador O'Brien represents the truer sit
uation in that what he says is in direct
accord with the statements Of leading
politicians OF Japan We cannot afford
10 disregard the statement q his ex-
ceIency Prime Minister Katsura. who.
in the formation Of a new cabinet. took
TO himself besides the premiership The
ministry Of finance. and who declared
that the prime object OF his policy and
that OF his ministers would be 10 main
tain peace throughout the world.
Il IS plainly evident that the problems
Immediately confronting japan are those
which have 20 deal with her economic.
financial. and Industrial development
These are 50 great that they will take

her sIatesmen's adroitaess 10 solve. She
already has had more fighting ia her tur-

Japan IS dropped by the press and the
public OF both countries the better II viii

Education Is under the mothers con

tory Is very much bowdlerized. and no

the Young that would imply that any Of
the kings Of Judea had ever been guilty
Of the slightest indiscretion. The ex-
