WASHINGTON, Nov, 4---Secr5tary Knox tonight invited Japan to center into a compact making practically compulsory peaceful settlement of all difficulties wf7h the Unften States.
 The secratary's fvitatiun was not in the form of a state document. It was sGggesaion to the Japanese, con- mercizi commissioners in an address by KnUx toAIght al banquet given in honor Of the visitors from the Mikado's land. After iproposiug tost to the Emperor of Japan, Knox said:
 Baron Ssibusasa and Honorable Commissioners: Itiis my priyilsgessnd great pleasure to welcome you 60 Washington eOn behalf of this Govern ment and to express sincere nope that your Jnurneyings, observations and entertainments have been Sand will continus to be ocomfnrtabl prof itable and agreeable.
 This iB fife oppoTt Ttunity of whRh [ gladly avail tD speak qof the ties wAich have contributed to unite our twoena- tions in amity and essential harmony ever since tiie days when, ito Amer ican representatives first of all, you opened your doors for reciprocal ex- change Of gOud will. .cciViiiuation and trade. We have learred from you as you have from us. We admire yo1 for all Of your nationsl gifts and vi1- tues and rUt the least for those quzI- ities in which you differ from us, 1oT eminent qualities drawn from the long and glorionE past, through which you must teach and we must learn. It igi your word SBushiGo' that expresses the source and inspiration of much of the strength and nobility of the Jap anese temperament Then IeE the western chivalry which also looks back to lofty origins learn what the eastern 'Bushs<4o' has to teach.
 Because of these ties Between us, we sometimes share common grief and mourning This counb-y mourns with you the untfmelg, cruel deatf of the great Prince Ito which to these, who like the president, knew him as a personal friend. was a deep personal loss. He was justly hero an Japan, s great man, noble, self-sacrificiEg patriot, a statesman of naasteTly cos structiwe ability and his career is the history of New Japan, of the Japar, which is now one of the great modern powers of the world.
 'Eommerce, exchange markets, trade extensions, these are fields in which friendly commercial rivalry now proceeding between the Ameri- can and Japanese peoples find expres- sion. Each, indeed furnishes a wide market for others and beyond their irrespective boundaries they engage in friendly trade competition for various markets of the world and will keep up so to engage.
 But the great modern movement of accord and sgood understanding be- tween nations are, after all. lofty achievements and the crown of all lIs- .ternational relations.
 'The controlling principles of these movements is peaceful and beneficial intercourse and peaceful settlement by arbitration of differences and con troversies, extending that principle by friendly diplomacy as rapidly as pos sible to embrace the increasing mum ber and variety of disputes ultimately by voluntary international compacts making peaceful settlements of all dii- ferences compulsory, or practically SO. T am confident you will agree that 1t is altogether in accordance with honorable and enlightened attitude both of Japan and the United States and that it should be the aim of true statesmanship to continue to keep abreast these benefcient movements in which they have borne so distin-
 guished a part"
