Washington. Feb. 23.-Japan will not
be a menace to the United States in
the event of war between this country

The authorities here are assured of

monts which have come to their at
tention.

ancse influence was cxerted in kekinS

! is preparing to do what she can to sup
press German operations within her
own territory.
! Japan also has changed the policy
hitherto pursued with reference to
China. While protecting her own spe-
cial interests she recognizes that It is
her duty to respect the interests OF tho
United States and other nations.
Finally JApan has approached the

with Japan in order to bring about that
ha arnnnious situation with the Tinted
States which their interests require.
Thruout this country constant ap-
prehension has been expressed that II
the United States were to engage in
