Toxic, Aug. 25.-The Toxic Kosai
Tsuhin international News Agency
says it is in a position to state ION
highest authority that it is the settl-
ed policy of Japan. approved by the
Emperor, the cabinet and leading bus
mess men that Japan under any flu
ture conditions will act strictly in ac-
cord with the terms of the alliance
with England and the treaties and
agreements with America and her
pledge to China.
Will Restore kiao Chow
Japan will restore Kiao Chow,
continues the statement, will preserve
the territorial integrity of China and
the terms of the ultimatum to Ger
many will be adhered to whether Using
Tau is taken by force or otherwise.
Japan realizes that in these sudden
ly faced responsibilities she must act
with the utmost circumspection, espe-
cially in view of the campaign of mis-
apprehension and the world wide pre-
vailing misunderstanding of her real
motives, ambitions and policies. The
present is perhaps the most critical
once and for all time eradicate the sus-
picion of her motives prevailing in
America and fostered by years of anti
japanese propaganda.
THE partition of China or the villa
ticn of Chinese integrity in any way
is the last thing Japan plans. She
most desires the friendship and conf
dence Of Pekin." The statement con-
tinues that the paper has authority
for the assertion that eft is to Japan
interest to keep with Great Britain
and America in China and that il
would be fatal to oppose or attempt to
block the commerce of either country
With friendly cooperation. Japan's
trade is certain to immensely increase
while Great Britain and America are
alone able to supply the products and
to keep in the great undertaking and
developments in the Far East from
which China will equally benefit"
