Toxic. March s.-The declaration
Of the Japanese government through
Foreign Minister Viscount Motono,
that japan has received no PROPOSE
ton from Mexico or Germany to Join
In a possible war against the United
States, was supplemented today in q
statement made to the Associated
Press in behalf Of the government by
kijuro Shidehara, vice foreign minis
ter.
I'VE were greatly surprised to hear
Of the German proposal" he said.
I'VE cannot imagine what Germany is
thinking about to conceive that she
could possibly involve us in war with
the United States merely by asking
Mexico. This Is too ridiculous for
words. Needless to say, Japan re-
mains faithful to her allies"
In response to a question regarding
Japan's attitude toward the anti
Japanese measures which were
brought forward in Idaho and Ore
gon. M. Shidehsra said he had especi-
ally requested newspapers to refrain
from infiammatory comment. advising
that the matter be left for treatment
through diplomatic channels. 1t was
noticeable that the agitation did not
approach that of the time the matter
was brought up in California in 1919.

Berlin, by wireless, March 3.-The
following was given out today by the
Overseas News agency (the official
German news bureau):
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman was
asked by a staff member Of the Over
seas News agency about the English
report that a German plot had been
revealed to get Mexico to declare war
against the United States and to Sc
cure Japan's aid against the United
States, Secretary Zimmerman an:
swered:
Means justified.
You understand that 1t is impos-
sible for mo to discuss the fact of this
revealed plot just at this moment
and under these circumstances. /
therefore, may be allowed to limit
my answer to what is said in the
English report: which certainly are
not inspired by sympathy with Ger
many. The English report expressly
wished to- remain on terms Of friend
ship with the United States, but that
we have prepared measures Of defense
In case the United States declared war
against Germany. fail to see how

Nness on our part. 1t would near
nothing but that we would ,<i1se. mean,

the United States declared war.
Had Reason to Plot,
The most important part of the
alleged plot is It's condition and form
The whole plot falls. f1at to the
ground in case the United States does
not declare war against us, and II we
really, as the report alleges, consid.
cred the possibility of hostile acts OF
the United States against us, then we
really had reason to do so.

while ago, really revealed plot when

Prensa (Buenos Aires) agrees well
with the Interpretation given, for in
stance, by an American newspaper
man. Edward Price, in Berlin and
London. who said that the United
States was waiting only for the prop
er moment in order opportunely to
assist the entente. 81
Says U. s. Helped Entente.
The same American stated that
Americans from the beginning of the
war really participated in it by put
United States at TIL entente's propos-
al and that Americans had not de-
clared war only Because they felt
sure that assistance by friendly neu-
trality would be during that time
much more efficient for the entente
than direct participation in the war
Whether this American newspaper
were at loss to Judge in satisfac-
tory fashion, sincetwe are more or less
completely cut on from communica-
ton with the United States.
But there were other facts which
seem to confirm this and similar as
surances. Everybody knows these
facts and need NOT repeat them. The
entente propaganda services have
sufficiently heralded all these pro-en-
States. And II you link these demon
strations with the actual attitude Of
the United States. then it is obvious
that it was not frivolous on our part
to consider what defensive measures
we should take in case we were at
