JAP PANESE CABINET INCLUDES STRONG
 MEN OF EMPIRE
Even Enemies of Terauchi Admit He Has Selected Best Material Forming
 Government

Tokio, November 10-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Field Marshal Terauchi's most persistent political ene- mics admit that he has built up a cabi net which contains at least two of the strong men of the empire. They are Viscount Iehiro Motono, the new minister of foreign affaxs, and Baron Shimpei Goto, Japan's great medico-statesman, who has been designated minister of the interior.
 Of the remaining members of the cab met, several are very well known to the Japanese though less prominent abroad. Three of them are members Of the House of Peers from which body Premier Terauchi expects to find sub stantial support in carrying out his pro. gramme which he has announced as be- ing strengthening of the nations re- sources and united and serious exertions on the part of all the people for the effecting of reforms in all departments of national life. The members from the House of Peers are Baron Kenjiro Don, the new minister of education; Kiyoshi Nakashoji, the minister of commerce and agriculture, and Ryohei Okada, who holds the portfolio of education. General Ken- ichi Oshima and Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, the ministers of army and navy, respectively, have been brought over from the outgoing Okuma ministry.
 KEEN INTEREST IN KINGDOM
 The keenest interest exists throughout Japan as to whether the ministry will be able successfully to weather the com ing session of the Diet on account of the apparent total lack of support in the House of Representatives. The attitude of the newly organized majority or con-

Faire" attitude in his foreign policy. It thought, that the Japanese people would prefer Count Terauchi to reverse his programme and do some constructive work in diplomacy. The Asahi continued: The land and immigration questions have been pending between Japan and America for a number of years, and bad ly stand in need of fundamental solu- ton, instead of being bolstered up by temporizing measures. Marquis Okuma was too much pleased with the appella- tion of peace premier given him by the Americans to attempt a solution of any of the questions at issue between Japan and America. Count Terauchi now openly declares his readiness to succeed to the do nothing policy of Marquis Okuma, as pursued towards America. It is quite possible that Count Terauchi's s inclination to put off the solution of diff ferent problems may have the effect of making matters worse confounded.
 Besides the land and immigration questions, which are pending between Japan and America, 1t will be neces- sary for Japan to know definitely Americas attitude toward China. Ja- pans position vis-a-vis China is some what of a peculiar character, but as long as the economic activities of foreign countries in China do not ex- ert any political pressure on Japan, she will not only not obstruct their enterprises in China, but will welcome them, as they will materially con tribute toward the opening up of the resources of the country. For this reason it Is necessary that Americana should be convinced of the real in tentions of Japan and of the advant- age of working conjointly with the Japanese in China.
 FRIENDLY TO AMERICA
 "If Count Terauchi is really anX- iouS for friendly relations between Ja- pan and America he should have dis pensed with formal polite phrases and frankly stated what he requires oi the United States. Honestly after ali is the best policy in diplomacy, as in business. Leaving China in her pres ent condition is distinctly inirical u the interests of China herself as well as those of Japan, and herein lies the necessity for Japan to render assist ance to China and to direct her along the path of civilization"

Born in 1862. he went to France al an early age and studied international law at the University of Lyons, Grad uating with the degree of "docteur en droit," he returned to Japan to enter the foreign office.
