ance, was passed by the House. only
five Representatives among 324 pres

to supplant the old pension system
in this war. These five answered

Note Was Distorted,
Washington Declares

Washington, June 14-Japanese re-
sentiment against the United States
note to China is ascribed by officials
here as wholly to the publication of a
garbled version in Japan. Later dis
patches from Tokyo indicating that
the japanese resented the sending Of
any note at all. were not commented
on and the incident was referred to
as an instance of how efforts for a
better working understanding between
Japan and the United States have
gone awry.
It is admitted that although both
countries have been striving for such
an understanding they have not suc-
ceeded in reaching it.
Japan claims for herself in China
much the same position as the United
States with regard to Mexico. In con-
nection with this latest incident Secre-
tary Lansing today authorized this
statement:
''Whatever comment has arisen has
been due entirely to the publication
of bogus note purporting to have
been called from New York to Tokyo.
Since our attention has been called
to 1t the correct text has been pub
ushed from Chinese paper. What
ever suspicion was aroused by the
bogus note was removed when the, ac-
curate text was given
