PEkING, April 15.-Taso Ju-lin. the vice minister of foreign affairs, has just published an article in Pe- king appealing to the Chinese and Japanese press for more temperate discussion of China Japanese affairs, and urging Japan to adopt a more steady attitude in her policy towards China.
 The article has been widely copied in Chinese and Japanese newspapers. MT Tsao calls attention to the fact that the language bond is grad ually becoming closer between China and Japan as the educated classes in each country are studying the lan- guage of the other. He points out that this literary kinship might well make for better relations between the two countries, but expresses doubt as to whether this is the case be- cause of the bitter temper shown in the press of both countries.
 Japanese publicists and speakers are estranging the feelings of the two nations and leading the diplo- matic situation gradually to a diff suit and dangerous pit says the vice minister. What is true of Jap anese publcists and speakers is equally true of Chinese journalists. am an humble official, but I am con- stantly calling the attention of our newspaper men to the danger of in- dulging in violent attacks against Japan and holding them under as much restraint as I can possibly ex- ercise It is doubtful whether such caution is exercised by Japanese of ficials over their public writers, for the writings of Japanese publicists toward China are. if anything, stronger as the days pass on. So long as this attitude is not modified and writers in Japan are allowed to abuse China. the two nations will never be reconciled to each other"
 Discussing business relations be- tween Chinese and Japanese and what he terms the hostile attitude of the Japanese in commercial tram sections, Tsao Julin says: Most Chinese entertain no apprehension when they are entering into bus mess enterprise with Europeans or Americans; they are rather pleased | to ucN olop CHiild ; IeSOuICcS Dy tUt aid of European capital and skill. But when it comes to Japanese. they fear that the whole enterprise will be monopolized by them
 Again. it is a fact that the Chi
 nese generally think that American and Eurpean countries are respective ly carrying out a certain fixed policy established on a firm diplomatic principle: but Japan's policy toward | China is constantly Wavering, and it 1 is difficult to discover at what it is really aiming. Take for instance ex- amples that actually have transpired within recent date. When the mon . archial movement was started in 1 China, certain members of the Jap anese cabinet expressed their ap- proval at the beginning: but when the question took concrete shape l they suddenly assumed an antago- nistic attitude, which finally resulted in an interference. Again, when the despatch of the Chinese special en- voy was first proposed the Japanese government expressed it's willingness to receive him, but at the eleventh hour a refusal was notified These are only few instances showing
 how inconstant is the policy of Japan toward our country.
 What I regard as especially strange is Japan's attitude toward
