moment later stepped back on the

RAILROAD FROM PANAMA
SOUTHWARK is PROJECTED
Officials of Bureau of American Re-
Publics Want Masnates
to Build

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Several
railroad magnates have been APP
preached of late by officials of the bu-
reau of American republics, it was said
at headquarters of the bureau today,
with view of interesting them in the
construction of a Pan-American rail-
road through Southern Mexico, Central
America and far into South America.
Among these was E. II. Hartman,
whose Southern Pacific line already ex-
tends southwark toward the points de-
sired to be reached
AS yet none of the capitalists has
informed the bureau of an intention to
construct such a road, but Director
Jarrett believes that by the time the
third Pan-American conference meets
in Buenos Ayres next year definite
proposition will be ready to submit to
the American nation.
It is recognized that governmental
aid must be given to this project, just
as the United States assisted in the
construction of the great continental
lines to connect the Atlantic and the
Pacific.

Declares 1t Impossible to

and Is Proud of conquests
So Far Won
fRx Associated press.1

ANN ARBOR, Mich, June 12.-Baron
Kogoro Takahira, Japanese ambassa-
dor, in an address at the University of
Michigan tonight, discussed the So
called commercial invasion of America.
He declared it impossible to avoid
CONNER eial rivalry which, he said, is
simply an outcome of the development
of international relations
while our trade has been so rapidly
increasing" said Ambassador Takaht-
ra, Il hear sometimes rather harsh
complaint against Japanese for start
ing cotton mills and cigarette manufac-
turing establishments, and no longer M
porting piece goods and manufactured
tobacco, which we used to buy from
this country; but 1t must be borne in
mind that in making cotton goods and
cigarettes in our own establishments
we are buying raw cotton and tobacco
leaves from the United States.
Il also hear some heartrending re-
ports to the effect that since Japanese
merchants became energetic, certain
American houses have been losing their
business in the far eastern trade.
Painful as is that report, I cannot
help conceding that in this age of rapid
communication and transportation it Is
impossible to avoid commercial rivalry.
which is simply an outcome of the de-
velopment of international relations"
The total amount of Japanese trade
has been steadily and rapidly increas-
ing, said the ambassador
What Started 1t
THE United States opened Japan to
to foreign commercial trade by send
ing there the famous Perry expedition.
and helped her to rise to the less
modest position of the present day.
THE United States reorganized the
Philippine islands in late years by in
PRODUCING an improved system of gov
eminent and by securing a permanent
peace for the inhabitants. There
friendly and humane achievements, to-
gether with many other notable and
generous actions toward the far eastern
countries, have most unreservedly en-
deared the Americans to the peoples of
these regions.
'All these circumstances taken into
consideration. / doubt not your par
ticipation in the coming exposition of
the arts of peace in Japan will tend TO
create a. new era for the commercial
development of the two borders of the
Pacific"
The ambassador said that the UNI
pleasant, unthinkoble stories propa-
gated in recent years as result of UNI
fortunate incidents in the west, have
now entirely disappeared before max
ing much mischief.
There can be no stronger evidence
of the genuine friendship of the United
States and Japan than the several COM
pacts exchanged between the two coun
tries during the last year.
Il am only echoing the sentiment of
the japanese nation when L say that
we owe a great debt of gratitude to the
University of Michigan for Sthe Sduca-
ton of our young men.
