SENDS MESSAGE
OF"GOOD WILL" ITO T. S.

The Mikado's message is believed
to make plain the Importance OF
maintaining the most friendly rela-
tions with the United States and it
is interpreted in official circles as a
sincere effort by Japan 20 avoid any
possible friction with America
The message from the Japanese
ruler is considered doubly important
in official and displomatic circles
here because the Mikado almost in
variable remains aloof from inter-
national affairs or any public step
such as the present one. 1t was
believed at the White House today
that the Mikado's message contains
some more important statement than
simply a pronouncement Of Ameri-
can-Japanese relations. IL Is thought
he may have suggested some definite
means Of removing present difficult
ties between the two countries and
strengthen American-Japanese rela-
tions.
