intimation to Mexico that II would
receive General Felix Diaz only as a
private individual and not as spe-
cial envoy, caused much comment in
official quarters. Coming at tim"
when negotiations are proceeding be-
tween Japan and the United States
on the California alien land question.
this action Of Japan toward Mexico
was generally construed as showing a
desire on the part of Japan to avoid
anything open to the construction OF
being unfriendly to the United States.
1t was recalled that when some
significance was recently given to
the arrival of new japanese minis
ter ut Mexico City, prompt disclaim-
er was made BY the japanese author
tiles that any political Importance
attached to the event or that the
new minister had made any express
sion on the identity of interests be-
tween Japan and Mexico. The pres
ent move is thought to be along the
same lines In keeping Japan quite
apart from any apparent participa-
tion in pending political or diplomat
ic questions relating to Mexico.
