PRAISE FOR AMERI- !,
CAN POLICY IN CHINA

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence)
Picking, Sept. 21.-An interview with
the japanese minister to China, Mr..
Hiolki. which local paper reprints
with credit to the Japan Times Of To.
do. ds especially complimentary to
American policy In China and critical
Of the japanese attitude.
Mr.. Hioki is now on leave in japan.
where he has been for several weeks
recovering from an injury to his ankle
sustained while the historic demands
Japan made upon China were under
consideration last spring.
The published interview credits Mr..
Hioki with saying Japan would do we'll
to emulate the United States in its
dealings with China Take a. leaf out
Of the American book" Mr.. Hioki is
reported to have advised his fellow
countrymen. THE United States Is
not bent upon the acquisition Of inter-
ests and rights in China, while she has
done a great deal towards the cause
OF education in that part Of the world.
There are three universities managed
by Americans fer Chinese students. In
addition. the Boxer trouble indemnify
which the Washington government re-
ceived from Picking Ii returned to
China and is being appropriated to the
fund for training Chinese students in
America. Some fifty students are ev-
cry year dispatched to America by
ans Of TINS tund. In these circum-
stances the Chinese cannot but be i'm
pressed with deep gratitude for the
American good Offices, and be well dis
posed towards Americans"
In contrast to this American policy
Mr.. Hioki is credited with saying prac-
tically all negotiations conducted with
the Chinese by the Japanese since the
Meikii era have resulted in ill-feeling.
He attributes this to the fact that the
Japanese take no practical interest in
the Chinese after they have completed
negotiations, but rather hold them in
contempt. Although Japanese
sentiment is believed by Mr.. Hioki to
be prevalent in several strata Of
Chinese society he Ia quoted as say
ing this feeling does not exist among
the thinking classes Of China, who are
believed by him to be anxiouSto have
good feeling between the two countries.
Consequently Mr.. Hioki concludes his
interview with a statement that
smooth relations are possible between
Japan and China and are dependent
largely upon change in the attitude
of the Japanese towards their neigh.
boring state.
