Japanese Politics Behind
 Oriental War Talk

NEW YORK, May S.-The Worlds Tokyo correspondent says that the government and commercial forces of Japan are using their utmost exertions in endeavoring to restrain the unthink- ing agitators in that country. They point out that the real influences in Japan rely confidently upon the high est thought and the highest influences in the United States. At the same time they assert that there is not a single responsible person in either country who even dreams of war.
 It is becoming increasingly evident that the agitation in Japan is largely inspired by a small political group seeking to embarras the Japanese government and putting forward the American land question to rouse na- tional feeling and hide their real pur- pose.
