rived at between Japan and the United
States in regard to China.
The Japanese American agreement
has been received hero with satisfac-
ton. but without enthusiasm. The an
nouncemcnt caused decline in the
market, possibly because no mention
was made OF economic affairs In the
notes exchanged. The press. as {,
whole. expresses approval on the
ground that friction between Japan and
the United States will be ended.
good deal OF space is devoted to
discussion of the practical application
Of the prospects limiting Japan's ac-
ton in China. The Nichi Nichi SHIN

saying 1t is onesided. because it does
not deal with Mexico and South Ameri-
ca.
Marquis Okuma. former Premier. and
Viscount Eato. former Foreign Minister,
are quoted as saying that America has
asscntcd merely to what has long been

The Japanese Times says the name of
Secretary Lansing will mark an epoch
and will command the highest respect
In Japan on account OF his efforts in
bringing about the agreement.
There arc numerous reports Of
China's anxiety over the Japanese
American notes. The Asahi Shimbun
replies to China's protest by saying
that Japan has spent blood and money
to prevent the absorption OF China by
strong neighbor, and at the same
time has effectively protected America s.
commercial interests. 1t says China
gains the most from the agreement
and America next.
