JAPANESE DENY
Selfish MOTIVE
BEHIND MISSION
Visitors Here Only in Spirit of
Corporation,

WASHINGTON, Aug. B-Viscoupt
lshii, the special Japanese ambassador,
gave to the Associated press today a
statement defining the purposes of his
mission 10 the United States. Members
of the mission noticed at Honolulu, at
san Francisco and finally here IN
Washington. indications that their COM
ing might be misin,erpr<ted by certain
elements adm 1t was felt necessary to
explain that no commercial or selfish
interests were to be subservcd,
The-Two Reasons.
The ambassadors stateaent follows
THE imperial Japanese mission came
TO the United States for two reasons
First, TO convey TO the president and
the American people the appreciation
and congratulations of the emperor
and the nation Of Japan for the en-
war as allies of Japan and the other
nations now waging war against the
enemies Of freedom second. to deter
mine how best 10 cooperate with the
United States III carrying the war to
a triumphant conclusion,
Having determined IN what manner
Japan can use her resources and
strength to this end. Il is the purpose
of the mission to further aid the allied
cause by showing what she car do with
the help and cooperation of the
United States. Japan is entirely I'M
selfish in her aim. We are figSNing
for a COMMON end and we wish to aid
in the common efforts"
For Use Of Allied Nations.
The mission will discuss with Abe
proper departments OF the government
matters concerning shipbuildlng mate
rails and neccSsarics III other lines
with the fullest understanding that the
use OF such materials, as we'll as the
finished products will he for the use
OF the allied nations. In the case OF
the ships made from steel supplied by
the United States assurShceG are to
be given that ley will be br allied
use alone and will not be employed
for neutral purposes during the war.
Ambassador lshii. Admiral lake
shita and Mr.. Hsnihara, who we're

Korean gcyernmcnt ara who assisted
in San Francisco in 1901, went to his
