Toxic, Dec. 31.-The signing of the
four-power agreement between Amer
lea, Great Britain, Japan and France
means the beginning of new era in
international relations, not only be-
tween Japan and the United States,
but between each one of the coun-
tries concerned in the new agreement
This is the opinion of Count Yasuya
Uchida, japanese minister of foreign
affairs, expressed in an interview.
Count Uchida has seen the various
stages of observation-disclosures diplo-
tracy and as a member to the United
States in 1909 and foreign minister in
1911, has had opportunity on previous
occasions of knowing well the trend
of nations in international affairs.
Relations Never Strained.
Much of the talk of trouble be
tween the United States and Japa-
nese," said Count Uchida, has never
existed so far as those in charge of
the governments of the two countries
are concerned. I have been in charge
of the department of foreign affairs
in Toxic thru many of the so-called
crises and at no time that L recall
have affairs between Japan and
America reached the point where
there might have been thought to be
a strain in relations"
Asked if there would be no further
Am erican-Japanese problems, Count
Uchida said it was not improbable
mat further questions might arise.
However" said Count Uchida,
the agreement just signed shows
there is a Willingness on the part of
the nations concerned to reach a com
promise on ali difficult problems.
Fears California Question.
TT is not impossible that the Cali
q n
some form or other, but if it does, we
have every reason to feel that it will
be settled in a spirit of mutual con-
cession, to the satisfaction of both
parties concerned. There may be
other questions. but they, too. will be
settled very likely in the same spirit
of compromise which is one of the
distinguishing marks of the new era
in fraternal dealing.
1.-The Anglo-Japanese agreement
marks twenty years of faithful con-
nection between Japan and Great
Britain, during which time there were
two wars The record of that alli-
ance was a splendid achievement for
both nations and we were lOath to
part with it. here in Japan. However,
while the word alliance should not be
used in connection with the new
agreement, the former term implying
too much q military significance, the
spirit of the alliance between Japan
and Great Britain is simply extended
in the new four-poWer agreement.
THE AnSlo-Japanese alliance was
formed when military powers threat
ened in the Far East; it had to do
with the Far East particularly and
with India. The new agreement is not
an alliance in the miIitaristic sense at
all, it is rather an instrument formed
for the maintenance of peace by
peaceful means"

WHEAT as MoNEY BASE.
Hungarian Farmers Would Solve Gold
DIFFICULTY of Their Country.

BIT pest, Dec. 31.-Wheat as a sta
bilizing unit of exchange instead of
money based on imaginary reserves of
gold or silver, was suggested by See
rotary of State Vician to the Syndicate
of Hungarian Farmers at a recent
meeting.
He proposed that banknotes of the
value of "quintar' or 220 pounds of
wheat be issued. Wheat as a standard
of value already has received some
recognition. Many farm leases are
made on that basis and, in the new
agrarian reform measures, taxes have
been specified as payable N wheat
values.
