which it is solved He insists that America's treatment of Japanese in jures Japan's prestige with the Chinese who will never regard Japan as an equal of the European powers. "To solve our Chinese questions com pletely'', he concluded, Ave must solve the American question"
 To give an idea of the viewpoint of the sensational writers, there are the words of Mir. InagaEi who says: ''The chief motive of the new Amer ican militarism is first, to defend the United States against a possible at tack from Germany and Japan, and second, to contend for supremacy in the Orient. In short, America has an uneasy conscience over the stopping of Japanese immigrants and is con- turing up fearful hobgoblins of all sorts from her own troubled con- science. Witness the ridiculous Mag dalena Bay incident"
 And he concluded: 'Let Americas ambitious policy on the Pacific be a warning to us peoples of an Oriental state. We, as well as the Chinese, should awake from our delusions, throw aside our petty quarrels and combine against the common enemy"

 TOXIC, Oct. 2.-That the relations between Japan and the United States occupy the minds of the Japanese peo- pie has been especially evidenced during the last six weeks when large number of articles concerning that subject have appeared in newspapers and magazines. The authors have addressed themselves with consider able freedom and frankness to the question. Most of them have been prudent and amicable, seeking to find a solution of matters at issue; others "jingoistic" in tone, have voiced pessimism as to the future. The dis cussion has hinged largely on China. It is to be noted, however, that more eminent and representative writers have placed themselves in the first class while the lesser known and more sensational Japanese commentators belong to the second.
 .Japan's present unprecedented pros perity which is chiefly due to the Eu ropean war has swept through the Empire a wave of satisfaction that the nation should be attaining such great material progress and it has awakened all minds to the vast pos abilities of continued and constantly augmenting advance in finance, in dustry and commerce. Developments are to be noted in all directions and if the war continues for long period Japan's position will be greatly en- hanced. She will reduce her national debt, she will expand her already inn mense shipping, she will strengthen her industries and above all she will extend her commerce. It is the great nation of China to which Japan looks with eager eye for commercial growth and China is the crux of the relations between Japan and the United States in the immediate future.
 At ToIio the belief prevails that Japan will continue her endeavor to increase her political influence in China. But Japanese business men are constantly clamoring for a politi- cal ascendancy that will not be so abrupt or so imprudent as to endanger a peaceful economic conquest of the neighboring republic. Put differently, conservative Japanese want to break down the barrier of distrust existing in China against things Japanese and replace it with feeling of confidence which will establish free trade rela- tions based on business factors.
 The readiness with which the Chinese recently granted American capitalists a concession to build long railroad and their hesitation in making contracts with the Japanese has awakened Japanese to the fact that ascendancy in China to be successful must be accompanied by some measure of trust and confidence.
 At this particular moment the Jap anese idea is the desirability of CO.,

RELATIONS OF UNITED STATES
 AND JAPAN ARE DISCUSSED

operation with the United States in the development of China. The idea was suggested by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the United States Steel Cor poration, during his recent visit to Tolzio, and it is understood that some plan of cooperation along broad lines is now being tentatively elaborated by representative Japanese commercial leaders. Although the Russo-Japanese alliance which calls for mutual CO., operation in the defense of their special interests in China is actively in operation there is no present proof of prevailing fears that Japan will permit the alliance seriously to prove inimical to the economic interests of America.
 The idea of cooperation finds favor both in governmental and non-ofhcial circles. It is especially emphasized by Viscount Kentaro Kaneko, member of the Privy Council, in the October num- Der of Chuo Koron or Central Review. Viscount Kaneko who knows the United States very well, and knows a good deal about the temperament of the American people, comes out flatly in favor of an economic alliance with the United States in respect to China. His reason is that a program of har- mony and understanding would avoid needless competition and work to the best interests of Japan, the United States and China. He said: Japan might make temporary profits by dumping her commodities in China and driving away American goods from that market but such an act would hardly improve the relations between Japan and America. As he saw the situation they had much better de- fine their respective spheres of economic activity. As an instance, he suggested, that Japan might monopo- lize the small hardware trade in China and leave to Americans the market for nails, iron-pipes, etc. In cotton spin ming the Japanese might sell coarse threads and the Americans might sell
 fine threads. It is by such means that a conflict of interests could be avoided. And he added: "If such an effective economic alliance be concluded, agitators may do what they like there will be no fear of a conflict be- tween the two countries"
 Turning to the question of immigra- tion, Viscount Kaneko expressed the opinion that if the Japanese imni- grants in the United States are mis- understood there it is largely their own fault. They are not inferior to European immigrants - they are thrifty and humane-but they should adopt American customs and manners, and strive to harmonize with their white neighbors instead of living a life apart. If their cost of living is in creased, they could overcome that by selling their products at the same
