DENIES AMERICANS
ARE RUDMY USED
Tourist Bureau Head Declares That ia
pan Is Hospitable Place for
Visitors from States.


TOXIC, March 31.-Reports from the
United States of alleged mistreatment in
Japan, purporting to come from re-
turned travellers from the orient, have
caused c. Inomata of the Japan Tourist
bureau to issue q denial Of Such charges.
Mr. Inomata's statement is contained
in a letter written to San Francisco Tor
the purpose Of letting would-be travellers
know that contrary to stories clrcu-
tiers. travel in this country is as safe as
il ever was.
In explaining the letter, Mr.. Inomata
said that if such reports continued in
the United States it would mean ser
ious injury to tourist trade, not only
to the travel in Japan, but to the entire
orient for the reason that Japan has
in the past been one Of the chief at
fractions to those contemplating oriental
tours.
1--WE feel that Japan is being mis-
represented in America the state
ment says in part. This emphasize
the importance, not to say necessity, OF
more Americans coming to Japan. Japan
should not be judged by utteranee9Ss'
] spoken or printed, of prejudiced or self
| interested people. The truth of these
utterances should not be blindly &c
cepted, but tested by personal obserya-
| tion and experience.
| American tourists in Japan, many
/ of whom call at our offices, are imam
| nous in their expression of satisfaction
| regarding the treatment they have re
| ceived in this country. Americans are
| assured of courtesy and poEteness ant
| the goodwill of our people"
