ASKS REMOVALS OF INEQUALITIES
 AMONG NATIONS

Tokio, Nov. -4.-The calamities of War will not be removed entirely un- til the existing inequalities among na- Hara in the latest number of the Di- plOmatic Review. The Prime Min ister was discussing what he called Japan's peace policy. His remarks created interest because of the ap- preaching Washington Conference.
 So long as one race or people, the Premier continued, sticks to it's tra- ditional conceit, looks down upon warrantable barriers or netes out dis criminatory treatment it can hardly be said that the causes of war have ceased to exist
 to world peace to include that no race shall adopt measures calculated to compel the suicide of another race, that perfect equality is essential to their existence and elevation and that the supply of materials necessary for the clothing, feeding and residence of mankind shall be distributed among the nations as equally as possible. He added: "In others words, the un- equal distribution of the necessary supplies Of life among the nations ow- ing to the selfish desires of one na- tion, or nations, will constitute a ser ious menace to peace"
 Mir. Harc went on: "It is true that there are differences among all races of the world in the color of their skin, their physique, their customs religious belief-, etc. but these differ ences do not constitute a. danger to peace. What really tends to discord is the discriminatory treatment or the unnecessary barriers adopted on the plea of these differences.
 When Japan was aroused from her SecluSion extending over several den- turies, some of the great powers had already been comfortably ensconced in diffenent parts of the world, and they were beginning to bring their irresistible influence to bear on the countries of the Far East. If Japan had failed to hold her position firmly, it is not at all improbable that she might have lost her existence. As it was, however. Japan endeavored to maintain her position in the face of great difficulties and at last she has been enabled to, develop as a great power in the East"
 After referring to the worlds ad- misison that Japan is one of the five one of the leading members of the League of Nations BShe has been en- trusted with the maintenance of the peace of the Far Hast, MT. Hara af- hrmed that it should be borne in mind that "the real position of Japan in in ternational politics is far behind that of the other powers and it would be great mistake to think. that she really
 
 Japan'S goal should be to remove International inequalities, he said Japan'S population is steadily increas- ing and the country is suffering more and more from the scarcity of her food supply.
 He continued: 'If the whole eff forts of a nation must be devoted to the obtaining of food and if no sur plus energies are left for the advance ment of civilization, the future of that, nation is gloomy indeed. The Jap anese nation is face to face with such a situation It is therefore, neces- sary that the nation entrusted with the task of maintaining the peace of the Far East should be immune from such troubles. For this reason the throwing open of the world to all tions of permanent peace. I do not necessarily insist En an unconditional throwing open of the world, but it should at least be thrown ope1A so that the free. unrestricted tranSnor- tation of all supplies may be facilitat- ed by the removal of all artificial economic barriers and the security of living may be guaranteed In other words, the security of food supply, clothing and dwelling should be guar anteed to all the nations of the world, weak and strong alike, so that equal opportunity may be given them for the enjoyment of happiness incidental to the existence of mankind
 Japan, the Premier wrote, was ever ready to enter into a perfect OnOer- standing with the United States with out whom no work of international import can be accomplished. It is clear that a reapproachment between the United States, Breat Britain and Japan will have the effect of remov- ing the causes of unrest in the world and of guaranteeing it's permanent peace"
 After insisting that Japan wanted to see a reconstructed and solid China and that Japan's only ambition in Si- beria was the restoration of her econ ornic activities, MT. Hara said that Japan's foreign policy is based on in ternational justice and friendly coop eration with the powers.
 He concluded: At the Washing ton Conference, we are prepared to discuss such Fundamental theories as are necessary to secure the opening of the world to all the races, the removal of artificial barriers and the security of life for mankind and to work for the realization of these aims with the cooperation of the powers"
