JAPANESE WHO LEAD INDUSTRY
 COMING HERE

New York, Oct. A. One of the most important business adventures since the war is the way some lead CTS of industry in New York regard the arrival at Seattle of a party of Japanese commercial leaders. who will spend 45 days in the United States, journeying from coast to coast.
 The party. due next Thursday from Yokohama on the kashima Maru, number 23, headed by Dr. Takuma Dan, general managing director of the combined Mitsui interests, and a graduate of the Massa chusetts Insti- tute of Technology. Their visit re- turns those made to Japan by three American groups within the last IS months. Besides conferring with Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, the delegation while dn Washington will meet President Harding and his cabinet.
 Discussing the immediate results of the tour Ebert H. Gay, head of the United States Steel Corporation. said;
 'I believe all that is necessary to insure continuing and permanent friendly relations between Japan and the United States is personal and in- innate acquaintance between the lead ing citizens of the two countries, and this will be secured by the visits of the Japanese to the United States and by the Americans to Japan. These visits are increasing and the results are already pronounced.
 New Workers have arranged an ex traordinary reception for the visitors. Industrial leaders here hope that, as a result of informal conferences, the United States and Japan will take the initiative in an international adjust ment of trade relations in the Far East.
 Darwin P. Kingsley. president of the Chamber of Commerce of New York city. holds this view of the visit:
 ''It represents the passing of the old diplomacy in favor of a frank and cu-ooperative discussion of mutual problems by business men who, after all Are the ones chiefly concerned. The spirit which has prompted this visit by the Japanese merchants will meet prompt response from Ameri- can business men all over the coun- try. This insures not only better bus mess relations but better political re- lations bewteen Japan and the United States"
 Masanao Kobayashi. chairman of the New York reception committee, explained that the mission would give and receive such information as to business methods and policy in the United States as will render more practical and efficient whatever mu- fua1 endeavors in the sphere of CO., operative undertakings may arise in the future.
