.JAPSSAY THEY ARE
SOLID WITH ALLIES
Interested In Seeing Right and jus
dce in Far East; Disclaim They
Are Lovers Of War

Toxic, July 3.--Japan occupied at
the peace conference a special posi-
tlon-she was dlsinterested in the
problems concerned with the Occi-
dent, but greatly interested fin the
questions bound up with the Far
East-Takashi Hana, che prime min
lister, has told the editor OF a French
magazine published at Toxic. The
premier said:
Japan went to the peace confer
ence with the desire to take an ac-
tive part in its work and TO partici-
pate in all questions that might
arise. Why? Because Japan Is sim
cerely attached to the cause OF right
and justice. She has proved 1t by
closely cooperating with the allies
and by subscribing without reserve
to the fourteen propositions of Pres
ident Wilson; she never hesitated to
join with the promoters OF the
icdBu6 ol udIlUuB.
Like the French, English and
American people. we wish a perma-
nent peace, better and more open re-
lations between nations, a happier
humanity. And we believe we are
in good position to judge things
from the point Of view OF ustice and
right because we had fewer interests
under discussion than Europe and
the United States. Our attitude is
impartial and our delegates at Paris
showed the good faith, sincerity and
openness OF our politics.
However. violent criticisms have
been addressed to us. Japan has
been represented as an ambitious,
war-loving, aggressive nation. The
preceding cabinet suffered the same
accusations which were not merited.
I can assure you my government is
doing its best not to cause discon-
tent; to disregard proceedings which
might be thought to bear repre-
hensive character. The peace con-
ference has given us an occasion to
show we were not guilty of what
had been reproached to u.s."
