NO HAWAIIAN
PROBLEM now
Ambassador Uchida Gives Sound
Advice to Japanese Resi-
dent Here.

"what l ask Of the resident Japa
nesc of Hawaii is that they should
realize that there is no Hawaiian ques-
ton today so far as Japan is con-
cerned. Whatever question or difficult
problem may arise will be question
between Japan and America, and not
between Japan and Hawaii. There
fore, the Japanese government expects
the resident Japanese of Hawaii to act
according to the spirit of Japan's
American policy"
This wholesome advice was given by
Ambassador Uchida to the Japanese of
Hawaii yesterday in the course of a
talk made by him at the Mochizuki
Club. where he was entertained Baron
Uchida's utterances were characterized
throughout by sound common sense,
| and the advice he gave the Japanese
of this Territory will, if followed,
greatly simplify the labor problem and
promote harmony between the Japa.
nese and the other nationalities of this
cosmopolitan community.
"Japan's activity in commerce and
industry said the ambassador, "is in
the Far East. We have one advantage
over all other powers there. That is
of geographical nature. In capital
and in other respects the European
powers are more favored in activity.
However, Japan's Far Eastern policy
does not conflict with the policies of
other nations. We can expand in the
Far East and still retain the friend
ship of the other powers, and we can
cooperate with them in the develop
ment and opening up Of the Asian con-
| tinent.
"The United States is a nation the
friendship of which is absolutely indis-
pensable to Japan. We can not afford
to lose her sympathies, and it is for
tunate for us that in our Far Eastern
policy we agree with the United States
in regard to the open door and equal
opportunities in China. The United
States is our friend, and we must CO.
operate in our future policies. There
fore, we must cultivate still further
the friendship between the United
States and Japan.
GAS l said before, we have no Ha-
waiian problems. They are all Amer
lean problems, and what questions may
arise in Hawaii, Hawaii being part
Japan and America. We can work
them out, let us hope, to increase the
friendship between the two countries
"That is what I wish the resident
Japanese of Hawaii to bear in mind in
their daily life and in their intercourse
with the American people,"
