News from Washington.

Washington, May 20.-Interest in
negotiations between the United

land legislation has shifted from
Washington to Tokyo. The American
government, having delivered it's re-
ply to the Japanese protest, is await
ing the next step of Japan, and the
situation was not even mentioned at
today's cabinet meeting.
In official circles it is regarded as
significant Of the desire of the ad-
ministration to convince the Japanese
government Of its purpose to do ev-
erything possible to maintain the rela-
tions that the American charge. Bail
ley Blanchard, has called upon the
minister of Tokyo to assure him of
the determination of the United
States to find a friendly and satisfac-
tory solution of the issues. Secretary
Bryan already has verbally given
such assurances to Viscount Chinda.
