pIcte agreement In relation 10 China

stralnt and doubt fostered by a cam.
psign OF islsehood, sdroitly and secretly
carried on by the Germans, and said
that through the frankness and cordial
ity Of the Japanese commissioners, tho
propaganda OF years had been undoae

Guthridge expects to be mere until
March is and hopes to complete all
details before that time. A dredge
will be brought here, probably from
San Francisco, but whether of suf-
ficient size to come under its own
power or not he was unable to state.
Explaining the long delay in COM

KAvVAkATSU INTERVIEW
CORRECTLY TRANLATED
BUT WAS misunderstood

M. Kawakatsu. manager of HOnolu-
lu branch OF the Sumitomi Bank, in an
interview published last week in the
morning paper. denied. the statement
credited to him by the Star-Bulletin
that war between Germany and Unit
ed States would give Japan her op-
portunity to enforce her demands on
this country. Two translations of the
article appearing in the Nippu Jill
show that Kawakatsu was correctly
quoted as using these statements in
the translation published in the Star
Bulletin.
The bank manager explains. how
ever, that he was misunderstood by
the Japanese reporter who inter
viewed him. He explains that what
he meant by saying that the war
with Germany would be an oppor-
tunity for Japan was that such a
war would bring America and Japan
together as allies. they would fight
Tor the same principles, and there
would result an exchange of views
that would smooth away any friction.
Al d1l1 Olk6i II d. idutts II - uOI Tic
newspapers but my own failure to
make myself fully understood on this
matter, = is Mr.. Kawatkatsu's attitude.
According to two translations made
by japanese; the article in the Nippu
Jill. which was republished in the
Star Bulletin, shows that Kawakatsu
used the term demand" in speaking
of the Japanese situation. Afte- re-
marking that the United States can
only be on the defensive should
trouble come between this country
and Germany, he remarked that Ger
man-Amerieans in the United States
might cause much trouble in blowing
up ammunition plants.
Continuing, he says that japanese
diplomacy has been very weak in the
past, but eshen the United States and
Germany clash the Japanese foreign
office will demand something that
they are not now getting. japan WIN
also secure much profit should the
United States go ~ war, according to
the translation This statement was
translated by two local Japanese.
