WAR WITH JAPAN? NO! A
BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP IS
COMINGSAYS AMBASSADOR
The New Diplomat From Toxic
Gives His Views as to Fu-
ture Relations of Great Ma
tions of Orient and Occident.
Commercial Ties Will Ever
Bring America and Japan
Closer Together.
BY HARRY b. HUNT.

Washington, March 16.-Right in the
midst of world wide discussion as to
whether the United States and Japan
are to clash swords soon in a great
war TO decide the supremacy between
orient and occident. l have succeeded
in getting a clear-cut opinion ON this
momentous question from no less an
authority than the japanese ambassa-
dor to America himself
Count Aimarn Sato, lately arrived in
Washington to assume his new dlplo-
matte post. in receiving me. said:
Il cannot talk officially on this mat
ter just yet, and so of course cannot
be quoted directly. But | will state
my views and you are at liberty to
present them in substance to the pub
lie.
Il am free to say. however, that the
European war has paved the way for
America and Japan to cooperate in
commercial way, which. if seized, as
| believe it will be. will bind the two
countries so closely that every chance
of friction will be eliminated" +"

natural resources of China. 4 natural
market-but also undeveloped is at
hand in the 400000000 inhabitants of
China
Prior to the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war Japan, Germany, England.
France and Russia were jointly work
ing to open up some Of these re-
sources. The war however, has
stopped further capital from these
countries. And there is little likeli-
hood that money for development in
China will be available from any of
them following the war. All will be
saddled with immense Indebtedness
and will face years Of heavy taxation
and financial stringency
SO to America alone may Japan
look for help.
While japan, Sato admits has made
much money from war contracts, her
profits are insignificant beside the
flood of gold dumped into America
She has not the capital necessary to
develop the markets and the resources
absolutely necessary for her further
Industrial growths
If America supplies it-and Sato be-
lieVes she will the commercial ties
that will soon unite the two nations
would be stronger for peace than any
present or probable future force that
might tend to drag them into war.
Japan IS more willing to Join hands
with American capital In her develop
ment Of the open field In China than
any European interests. since she Is
convinced that tho United States has
no desire to secure political power in
the orient She has never offered so
wide an opportunity for commercial
cooperation in the orient to European
nations as she now offers the United
States. since she has recognized the
tendency Of continental nations to
send their flag scurrying on the trail
of their finances.
All of which, sato believes. should
and viii result in bringing about
financial interdependence and cooper
alton between ourselves and our little
brown brothers. instead of CONNER

near barbarians who loved 10 eat raw
fish. The Japanese looked askance at
the white race, which claimed super
ior morals and intelligence, and yet
ate live oysters
But Japan, it was declared. has put
aside distrust and has decided to win
equal recognition for her people from
the United States by proving their
equal right with other peoples to such
recognition. She believes that she
can win this by a few years of tolera-
tion, in which she will prove by her
accomplishments that she is the equal
mentally and otherwise of any other
people, as quickly and much more Sc
curely than by going to war.
Japan's future. Sato declared, must.
like England's, be an industrial one.
Her territory is limited and already
her agricultural resources are de-
veloped to the utmost.
For any considerable industrial de-
velopment beyond the point she has
now reached, however. Japan lacks
natural resources. She must get the
bulk of her materials-her Iron, cop
per and oil-from outside. Likewise,
In order to dispose of her manufac-
tured product. she must depend on an
outside market.

FOOD CONTROL
BODY PLANNED

In a dispatch from Washington on
June -, it is stated that President
Wilson intends to vest authority in
a food control board of which Herbert
G. Hoover is to be food adminis-
traitor.
The bill will make it unlawful to
destroy necessaries of life, to hoard
or monopolize them or to do other
acts designed to increase prices by
discriminatory or wasteful methods;
to limit the facilities for transport
ing food or fuel; restrict the supply;
prevent or lessen the manufacture
or production of them or combine to
exact excessive prices.
The president is authorized to IL
cense the Importation, expectation,
manufacture, storage or distribution
of any necessities, including fuel,
and to regulate the business of the
licenses. Anyone who boards food
supplies will be punished, but farm
ers and others actually engaged in
cultivation of foods or feeds are eX-
enpted from the provision.
The president is authorized to req
uisition and take over for the use
and operation of the government, if
he deems it necessary, any factory,
mine or other plant utilized for the
nccessaries of life but the railroads
are specially exempted from the
reouisitioning provision.
Another broad power conferred by
the bill upon the president is to
regulate exchanges of all descrip-
tons that deal with necessaries and
if necessary to prohibit their oper-
alton.

PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
TEA is A SUCCESS

The Silver Tea given by the Pa
triotic League of Roman Wednesday
afternoon was generously attended
and adiudged to be decided sue
cess from a social point of view, as
well as lucrative. While the dainty
refreshments were being served by
Mesdames John p. Swee and C. F..
Rathbone, who were the hostesses
joyed Victrola music and a general
good time. Several members of the
society were also present and con-
siderable work was accomplished
during the afternoon.
The proceeds of the affair, amount
ing to $1,000, were turned over to the
treasurer with which material and
supplies will be purchased for a
continuance of this work. The dire
need of hospital equipment at the
front Is brought to our attention by
reports that for lack of bandages, etc
the allied soldiers are using news
papers and straw to stop the flow OF
blood and it is the duty of every
woman in the land to do her share
in this relief work. The work of the
Patriotic League differs from that of
the Red Cross to this extent: the
supplies furnished by the Patriotic
Leagues are sent Immediately to the
battle fields of Europe where they
are needed so badly, while the Red
Cross supplies, being larger articles.
are stored in New York awaiting or
dcrs. The ladies of Roman are to
be commended for the splendid spirit
this work so vigorously.

One of the worst mining disasters
in the history of the state occurred
i'll Butte last Saturday morning when
fire broke out in the Granite Noun
tain shaft of the North Butte Min
ing Co. and resulted in the death of
1862 of the 400 miners employed in
the mine, according to the figures of
Coroner Aeneas Lane. Eighteen
bodies are still unaccounted for ana
it may be days before they are re-
covered,s as the smoke, gas and water
in the lower levels makes it impos-
sible for the helmetmen to penetrate
them at present The entire mine
rescue organization of Butte en-
gagged in rescue work and there arc
many thrilling tales of heroism
among the trapped men who were
brought to the surface alive as we'll
as the rescuers.
The Granite Mountain shaft has .
depth of 5000 feet and is the deepest
in Butte. 1t was completed to its
present depth only two years ago.
The North Butte company has one
other shaft, the Speculatar, about
500 feet distant, connected with the
Granite Mountain on different levels,
which is also in danger. Tons of
water were poured into the Granite
Mountain shaft land from connecting
levels with the adjoining mines to
get to the scene of the fire. 1t will
be necessary to retimber practically
the entire shaft, it is stated, and ex-
tensive repairs to the Speculator
shaft.
