AMERICA is ATTRACTING
ATTENTION IN JAPAN

Toxic, February 16.--Much at
tention Is being paid by the press to
changed conditions In America. The
Kokumin today publishes a long In
terview with Marquis Okuma. the
late prime minister and head Of the
liberal party, under the title, "A
Wide-Awake Nation and Sleepy
Nation"
In brief, Marquis Okuma observes
that foreign and domestic policies OF
the United States since she Joined
the war show that the whole
strength Of the country Is directed
towards unifying the nation and
making II stronger after the war. In
conclusion he turned his attention
towards Japan where he finds the
people are llstless and like fisher
men sleepIly sitting on the river
bank and waiting for something to
bite instead Of being alert to meet
the needs and opportunities OF the
country after the war.
