BARON SA|TO
! SEEKS UNITY

SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 1.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press)
Admiral Baron Saito, the new
governor OF Korea, appeals, in an
interview in the Seoul Press, to Jap
anese and Koreans alike to cooper
ate and preserve brotherIy rela-
tions" in developing the resources
Of the peninsula.
ut is especially to be hoped that
Korean leaders will pay great atten-
tion to this" the baron said. 1--WE
must learn from the Americans in
this respect. II we are industrious
enough we may convert even the
barren land into fertile one"
To emphasize this suggestion the
baron described the rapid develop
ment of the iron industry in the
United States, attributing this in
part to the enterprise of Americans.
Pointing out that the present is
a period of the greatest moment in
the destiny of the japanese empire,
the baron said, Japan as one Of the
great powers stood in position
where even her minor actions would
affect the general situation of the
world the responsibility of the Jap
anese people had become heavier
than ever.
To fulfill this responsibility, es-
pecially to promote the civilization,
peace and welfare of the Far East, |

he said the Japanese must always
keep in touch with the progress of
the world and exert themselves to
the utmost to make themselves the
stronger. In all national dealings
the strength Of nation gave weight
to It's claims, he declared, and for
that reason every Japanese must
put forth his creates efforts for the
development Of the national re-
source and to increase the nation
al strength.
Japan, however, he said, must be-
ware OF abusing what strength 1t
has. A civilized people, he declar-
ed, should behave with fairness and
modesty and strive to enjoy peace
and prosperity by keeping in har-
monious relations with other peo-
pies.

The building It Is estimated, would
require an initial expenditure OF
$50. 900 and leaders OF the campaign
plan to raise s250,000 additional
to complete the entire structure and
