"Th. people OF Japan never volup-
tarily speak or think about war with
America" said MIR. Gorhold yesterday.
THE only time the subject l. called UP
at all is when some OF the sensational
newspaper reports of the United States
are cabled TO japan. We never would
hear Of war were It not for these stories
printed over here.
1T is n favorite saying in Japan that
while they have formal alliance With
England. the people OF Japan have a
heart alliance with the United States.
The sentiment among the people is very
favorably disposed toward the United
States, and the official sentiment is the
same way. far as we can sec.
But should remember that the
japanese are intensely patriotic, and this
continual agitation about war naturally
VIII create certain degree OF spccula
tinn among the people OF Japan as to
what would happen In such an unfortu-
nate event. But the country Is our
friend. and II certainly is the most beau
tlful land in the world"

Many Problems Presented.

The forest service presents many
problems requiring an administrative
conference said Mr.. Graves. There
are questions OF organization that must
be considered. just as you would con-
slider the organization OF any other far
reaching business. The question Of pro-
lection OF forests is vital one that noeds
careful working out in all It's details.
My aim is TO make the forests as useful
as possible TO as many persons as pos
siblc, having in view tho needs OF both
the present and future generations.
There are various phases TO this prob
lem which II would take too long TO dis
cuss In detail. We must remember that
our virgin timber supply is not mex
haustiple and must deal with the ques-
ton OF rcforcstration I'm a business like
manner, This phase of the subject is
largely dependent upon climatic and
geographical conditions which must be
taken into consideration.
ITO look TO the future and at the same
time give the small man chance al the
present hour is the policy which Intend
TO carry out"
The final session of the foresters'
meeting in Salt Lake will be held this
morning and Mr.. Graves will leave for
San Francisco this afternoon.
