fortunate that the Power that set our
face in the right direction in the nick
or time was the transpacific republic,
trad;tionally free from territorial az
srandizement and genuinely devoted To-
the cause Of civilization and peaceful
commerce.
My realization Of this important fact
has only deepened with the progress OF
time. n Il has been my constant aim
to do all ! could to foster and maintain
the relations OF friendship with America.
Those relations continued to be Of un-
qualified intimacy until about the year
1905, when the situation began to be
altered by an unfortunate policy OF
discrimination against Japanese lmmi-
grants in California. This question has
caused me much concern. and the sat
isfactory solution OF II has occupied my
best thought and attention for the past
ten years.

PHILADELPHIA SPEECH NOT

Washington, ID. G.. May l1.--That
his speech In Philadelphia is in no way
to be construed as declaration or
kntimation OF the policy of this Gov
eminent in the crisis caused by the
sinking of the Lusitania by German
torpedo. with the loss of about 1l5
American lives. was the unequivocal
statement made by President Wilson
for publication today.
At the cabinet meeting nothing
definite was determined regarding the
course of the United States toward
Germany, as far as could be learned.
and all cabinet members as they left
the chamber declined to give any in
timatfon of what plan of action had
been discussed.
These were the two outstanding
features of the tense situation here to-
day. while the entire worlds attention
is focused on the President. waiting

QUEENSTOWN BITTER
AGAINST CAPTAIN TURNER

Queenstown. May ii.--Captain
Turner's testimony at the Kinsale in
quest has intensified the feeling here
against him and the Sunard liner.
The bitterness of the local feeling is
partly traceahie to the Cunard Limo
call which was ascribed to Captain
Turner's influence.
The hostility against Captain Tu--
ner personally Is quite yenomous..
and the fact of his survival OF the
disaster is regarded locally as an Of
Tense. Criticism accusing him of
mismanagemcnt Is frequent.
