BARON MAKING MAKES
A FRANK STATEMENT

Baron Maxine, head of tho Japanese
delegation to the peace conference, in
a statement to the Associated Press
today on the position of Japan, said:
you ask me for a plain and frank
statement of the position of Japan.
Well, l am tempted to ask You a ques-
ton In reply.
do you think it possible for me to
say anything that win not be wilfully
distorted by those who have SO long
and SO persistently sought to clog
the efforts of my country to ascribe
to her motives she has W had
maligned at every turn? Let us see.
"As to the United States, Japan has
a very sincere, abiding and affection
ate regard. We owe to her our place
in the world, that is to say, the civ.
ilized world. Perhaps | should not al
together agree to that phrase because,
you know and every n should know,
that Japan has enjoyed a civilization
all her own for many ages. 1t was a
civilization born OF the highest sense
Of honor, of the sense which the west
could not understand nor appreciate
because we had lived apart as a her.
NIT nation.

when through the expedition of
Commodore Perry and the efforts OF
Townsend Harris we joined, If |
may say so, the league of nations Of
the world, we took on a new ambition
which was to interpret the civilization
OF the western nations which we had
studied and recognized as better, al
though not all were more honorable
than our own.
you will note here that America
was the first country to agree to make
a treaty with us abolishing ~extra-ter-
ritoriality. You must remember that
we did not ask to Join this first league
of nations. We were forced to do so
Perry came to us with naval power
and forces to compel us to open Japan
to intercourse with the western world
we yielded, and | am glad. as is all
Japan that we did yield, because 1t has
been Of great benefit to our country.
And now we are asked a second
time to join a league Of nations. But
how? AS equals2 If SO, we are ready

"SEA PAY" FOR OFFICER
WHILE AWAITING TRIAL
Commander r. C. S. Parker, Ac.
quilted, Must So Be Remuner-
ated, Controller Rules

Navy, recently acquitted by a naval
court-martiaI, will receive pay as in
status of sea duty for the period
during which he was under arrest
awaiting trial.
w. W. Warwick. controller of the
Treasury, cites the principles of law
that the pay Of a naval officer can
not be taken from him except by
specific statute or by sentence of
court martial. Regarding his status
as on sea duty, his decision is:
Commander Parker may not, in a
strict technical sense. have been on
sea duty and the period of time one
of while so serving nevertheless
1 am of the opinion that the reasons
advanced for continuing sea pay I'M
der acts prior to May 13, 1908, are
equally strong for allowing the 10
per cent increase which that act au-
thoriZes."
