Russia is already undergoing a

European statesmen have secretly

The Bolshevik revolution sent
thousands of former or prospective
political leaders in foreign lands
where their knowledge of practical
world affairs has been enlarged
and their eyes opened to their own

tide of immigration flows back into
Russia. it will have profound eff
feet on Russian policy.
The reign of the Red has also

Special Cable to THE New York HERALD.
COPYRIGHT, 1921, by THE NEW YORK HER.Lp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Paris. June B.
Japan's Crown Prince VINO is the
first Prince of his rank in ten CEN
turies to leave his native soil to study
and strengthen international relations.
Is actuated by the most friendly de-
sires as far as the United States is
concerned. Although Prince Hirohito
has persistently refused to grant inter-
views on international relations he re-
ceived THE NEW YORK HErALD corre-
spondent this afternoon and expressed
confidence that the United States and
Japan would continue as during the
war. working together in the cause of
right and Justice.
"I regret greatly that I am unable to
visit the United States at present" said
Prince Hirohito. MY visit to England
and France. despite Its brevity. has pro-
duced the most profound impression,
which feel sure will live long and prove
to be of great benefit to me. am one
of those who have great admiration .or
the United States and her people and I
should have liked to visit various parts
of America and to have come in direct
touch with her people there. 1t would
have given me special pleasure to visit
those cities and universities where our
Japanese young men have received In
estimable educational advantages. but
for ff,ra atalx he af
forbids me to do so at this time.
However, there being only one ocean
to cross between the United States and
Japan. ] am hoping that this will only
be deferred pleasure" Then with a
smile that was serious and undoubtedly
sincere the Prince added: You may
tell America through THE New York
HERALD that ! am hoping America and
Japan may ever be found working to-
gether In the cause of right and Justice"
The declaration, it Ia believed, vii.
offset the idea of militarists who have
been prophesying conflicts between the
two nations. 1t is known that the state
OF his fathers health is one of the con-
ditions that make it impossible for the
Prince to go to America at this time.
The Prince is much the same type as
the British Prince of Wales, possessing
a degree of self consciousness which
commands sympathy wherever he visits.
Although only 20 years old. Prince
Hirohito has undeniable charm and sin
cerity. He meets visitors with military
precision. but when the NEW YORK HER
AID correspondent was introduced by a
member of his personal staff he aban-
doned all formallty as he expressed in
terest in American affairs and particu-
larry in American universities, where
he said Japanese students were received
with the utmost cordiality.
Members of Prince Hirohito's staff
informed the New YORK HERALD cor
respondent that japan willingly would
enter a discussion on disarmament. but
that the idea prevails In japanese cir
cles that the initiative in this direction
should be taken by the United States. as
she is the worlds greatest military and
financial power.
