Republican A. p. Leased WireI

A PACIFIC PORT, Aug. 14.-A new day among nations, in which Japan and America shall forget the little mole hills that have been exaggerated into mountains to bar our good rela- tions' and march together, work to- gether, and fight together as com rades' was proclaimed here tonight by Viscount K. Ishii, ambassador extra ordinary and plenipotentiary to the United States.
 Heading a special mission, Viscount Ishii, spoke for his government at a dinner rendered him by this munich pallty acting as host on behalf of the federal government, this state and the resident citizens Six hundred men of all classes of occupation heard and applauded his utterances. The wis count was presented by Gavin McNab, an attorney sent from Washington tv arrange the reception of the mission, and was further welcomed by the gov ernor of the state and the mayor of the city. He said:
 Words fail me when 1 undertake to acknowledge the full measure of our obligation to your city. Notwithstand- ing the lessons of tradition and the generous fOretaste of American hospi- A overwhelmed
 We are very proud because we know that this royal welcome you ex- tend to us springs from the heart of the nation.
 We come to you at the dawning of new day. As individuals we have no right to expect to find place at this busy time of preparation. But we come as the humble representatives of the gracious sovereign of a friendly and loyal nation and we say that we know well that performance not profession, deeds not words, sacrifices not selfishness, are the requisites of the hour
 Our message is that in this day, through it's hours of shadow or of sunshine, your purpose is our purpose, your road our road and your goal our goal. It is that America and Japan will march together, work together and fight together as comrades until the 4end has been reached and the victory won in the struggle which involves our rights and our liberties.
 Tt is for that-and l take the lib- erty of using the words of your great president, Abraham Lincoln-'in order that each one of us may enjoy an open Alc1u anu d ldiT CHdDCe LOT our ln- dustry, enterprise and intelligence that the struggle must be maintained; that we may not lose our birthright-the right of humanity
 We are here to say that in this tremendous struggle for those rights and liberties, America and Japan are bound together; that when the victory of the allied forces is secure, America and Japan should so live that your sons and our sons will have a cer- tainty of good neighborhood; so live that no word or deed of either can be looked upon with suspicion: that venomous gossip, hired islander, sinis- ter intrigue and influence. all of which we have both been the victims, can in future only serve to bring us closer together for mutual protection and for the common welfare.
 "The importance of such co-opera- tion was brought home to us particu- larly as we voyaged safely and pleas antly across the Pacific ocean We must, indeed have assurance of good order in our neighborhood. We can not either of us take risks. It be- comes the first duty of Japan and America to guard the Pacific and to insure safe, continuous intercourse between Asia and the United States; to see to it that the ships of the fero- cious pirates whose crimes upon the high seas can never be palliated, find no shelter in the waters of our seas.
 Tt is for US together to continue to enforce respect for law and humanity
