FELLOWSHIP ACROSS PACIFIC

There was obvious sincerity and
truth In the eloquent speech which
Niscount Ishii, head of The Japanese

Fairhaven, Mass on the Fourth lie
had gone there on a private errand

Whitfield an old whaling master, a
sword sent by DR.. Nsltahama Of Jap
an, In recognition Of benefits confer
red by the captain on DR.. Nakahama g
father. The. ambassador, however
made II public occasion by the big
impressive way In which he dis
charged his task
Reminding his hearers of the sig
nificance Of the sword as token ol
Samurai honor and friendship, repro
senting the highest assurance Jap
anese could give of his confidence
and esteem. he added.
"The donor would have you pre-
serve IL not only as a monument to
the memory of a good man, but as q
token Of japanese goodwill. DR.
Nakahama would say to the descend
ants of thse who we're kind to his
revered father that which the whole
Japanese people would say to the
people of America
1--WE trust you, we love you, and IL
you will let us, wc will walk at your
side In loyal fellowship down all the
coming years"
II would be well II all Americans
should take to their hearts those elo.
quent words, In the spirit In which
they were manifestly spoken.
There is nothing In recent history
or the present diplomatic situation to
cast any doubt on their sincerity We
have Secretary Lansing'B word for II
that Viscount Ishii himself is "a gen
uine and outspoken friend Of Ameri
ca" and that through the negotia
tions transacted since his arrival in
this country complete and satisfac'
tory understandings have been
reached regarding Japanese co.opera-
tion with the United States In the
war against Germany. There is ev-
cry assurance that Japan Is ready at
this moment to play her part-and a
manly and honorble part the crit
ical Russian situation. She asks onl,
that we trust her az she trusts us.
Such an utterance al that quoted
above does more than clear the at.
mosphere. II tends to make many
Americans ashamed OF the feelings
they have harbored against Japan.
Suspicion Of that country's good
faith has--or had until recently
gained wide acceptance In America
There appears never to have been
any demonstrable foundation of fact
on which to base II, Searching inquir
les have indicated that our national
suspicion has been, for the most part
due to two influences the deliberate
efforts of Germany to embroil the twt
countries, and the mischieyous anti
Japanese propaganda Of the Hears,
newspapers.
II is time that both OF these infir
ences were clearly understood and re
pudiated and Japan welcomed az q

Statewide Meeting

DR.. B. E. P. Prugh, the chairman
of the Prohibition State Committee,
to-day issued a call for the newly
elected state committee of the party
to meet at the state headquarters
June 5.
In his statement regarding the call
DR.. Prugh said: "An active cam
paign will be waged this year. The
policy of the party will be to replace
its candidates with those of the
stronger parties wherever there is a
contest between the "wets" and the
''drys." Two years ago its vote was
the determining feature in the cleo
ton of two Congressman and of
some legislators and the present out
look is for more emphatic impress
on the results this year.
DIR. Prugh said that his party had
no relation with the conference OF
the National party held here yester-
day and that he did not know it was
being held to prepare a state ticket
| The pre-emptors of the National
party name in Pennsylvania are res
idents of Dauphin county and none
