there is no doubt that the feeling OF
suspicion was Increasing.
The visit of Viscount Ishii and his

The representatives. of japan have
cleared the diplomatic atmosphere OF
the suspicion which had been so care

misguided or overzealous people in
both countries. In a few days the
propaganda of years has been un-
done.
Throughout the conferences Wis
count Ishii has shown a sincerity and
candor which dlspelled every doubt
as to his purpose and brought the
two governments into an attitude Of
confidence toward each other which
made il possible to discuss every ques-

''The removal OF doubts and sus-
picions and the mutual declaration of
the new doctrine as to the Far East
would be enough to make the visit
of the japanese commission to the
United States historic and memorable,
but 1t accomplished a further purpose,
which is of special interest to the
world at this time, in expressing
Japan's earnest desire TO cooperate
with this country in waging war
against the German government At
the present time IL is ineXpedient to
make public the details OF those con-
versstions, but II may be said that
this Government has been gratihed
by the assertions OF Viscount Ishii
and his colleagues that their govern
ment desires to do their part in the
suppression OF Prussian militarism."
