This break in the Official japanese
attitude represents a sweeping vic

whose authority is unquestioned.
The diplomatic group is winning
its demand for acceptance of the
Hughes proposals, he declared, only
by impressing upon the opposing
group the fact that Japan alone
would have to bear the blame for
another frightful World War If she
wrecked the Washington conference.
Acceptance OF the American pro-
posals will be made az Japanese
sacrifice" to world peace. he stated.
The delegation, however. will first
formally reject the Hughes plan as
"endangering the national safety Of
Japan"

gering its national safety in order TO
make future peace possible2

ciple, the views of the United States
