JAPAN'S NEXT

PEACE WITH u. S.
Shirnpei Goto Depre.
Gates An6-Ameri-
can Policy.

Toxic. Oct. 4.-Anti-American
outbursts by the japanese press
are strongly deprecated BY Baron
Shimpei Goto, former minister Of
foreign affairs who may be Japan's
next premier. He refuses to lead
an attack against the Japanese
government over its American pol
icy, and, in a statement to the cor
respondents Of Reuters, Ltd, ex-
presses hope that a settlement OF
the anti-Japanese movement in
California may be reached.
The anti-Japanese situation. :"
he said, ''is merely q phase Of the
presidential election, and Is part of
the general question which the
wisest statesmen on both sides Of
the Pacific must face with q view
to securing a fundamental settle
ment. The question Of ownership
of land in California is not the real
issue, but only part Of the real
issue, which is question Of dis
elimination. The Japanese people
must remain cool and refuse to
permit the vote-catching politi-
clans in either country to stampede
them, while responsible statesmen
must later seek a proper solution
Of the problem. It must be settled
honorably on both sides, and the
Japanese must appeal to the sense
Of honor and justice Of America.
The tension between the United
States and Japan is causing seri-
Gus concern to responsible Japan
ese statesmen and to All the friends
Of both countries, who hope for
cessation of alarmist reports which
are influencing both sides Of the
present controversy.
