PROF. SMALLER MA THEWS'
VISIT TO JAPAN BRINGS FRANK
DISCUSSION OF OUR RELATIONS

Of Japan to dump any large number
Of her people where they were not
wanted. Japan was prepared to go
long way to avoid unpleaSantness with
the United States as was shown by
the voluntary restriction of emigration
to the United States under The
rangement had been honestly and
vigorously carried out by Japan, and
Baron Kato was gratifled to know that
this was recognized by Americans.
Baron Kato added: What we re-
gard as very unpleasant about the
California question is the discrimina-
ton made against our people in dis
tinction from some other nations. We
would not mind disabilities if they
were equally applicable to all nations.
We are not vain enough to consider
ourselves at the very front Of enlight-
ment; we know that we have still
much to learn from the West. But we
thought ourselves ahead Of any other
Asiatic people and as good as some
Of the European nations"
The minister admitted that ques-
tions like this required time to settle,
but he said, Japan would not be sat
isfied until the question was properly
settled-as he thought it would be.
AS to Japans policy in China, Japan
had no idea Of attempting any wanton
encroachment upon the integrity Of
China or any other nation. Japan was
not without ambitions. She had am
bitions-Which were altogether laud-
able--but he would most emphatically
declare that those ambitions did not
include any desire to monopolize in
terests in China, nor for that matter
in the Pacific. Her aspiration was to
get just that share of those interests
to which she is rightly entitled, moth
ing less and nothing more and her
idea was to secure that share without
interfering with the interests Of other
nations.
The TSingtau question would be set
tied after the War-how he could not
tell. and did not know. But 1t should
be clearly understood that Japan was
absolutely free as to the disposal of
the territory in question. She had
made no promise to anybody to re-
store Tsingtau to China.
Leaving specific topics, Baron kato
asserted that it seemed 10 him and
many others, that the Europeans and
Americans were prone at times TO be
excessively severe in their criticisms
OF Japan's doinss and policy. They
seemed to set up standard Of judg-
ment for the japanese much higher
that the standard they themselves de-
sired to be judged by. The Japanese
had merits and shortcomings just like
any other people, and their only wish
was that they be Judged by the West
ern nations as the latter judge one
another.
The minister concluded: Il know
that unfortunately there are men in
Japan who hold extreme views, but
taking the japanese people as a whole
l feel safe in saying that the great
majority are quite free from any ex-
IRENE ideas of Imperialism They are
bent on the development of their
country along peaceful lines They
only desire to secure their due share
of the .,ooG things of the earth"
He said his remarks were offered in
the hope that Prof Mathews might
get n correct conception of the views
OF Japan. and perhaps inform his fell
low Americans.
