Baron Kato's Message.
Baron Kato's message of greet
lngs said;
ait gives the whole japanese
delegation true pleasure to send
o message of greetings to the
American people at this unpre'
cedented Christmas tide. 1t goes
without saying that unless a most
genuine spirit of peace moved the
nations that are represented at
Washington, no such happy or
such quick achievements would
have already been reached, they
speak adequatel.- for themselves.
Nothing that any delegate could
say would be of any use If the
facts were not sufficient evidence
of the ample agreement of the
greater powers. Those facts will
say to the world in unchallengea-
BILE terms that it was in no vain
pretense of amity that the several
countries sent their representatives
60 Washington in reply to the in
vitation of President Harding.
eve came, we listened, we
needed In a spirit of mutual SYM
pathy and mutual accommodation;
all made concessions to the view
points of the others. And the re-
sult has been a promise--such as
che world has never known before
---of peace among these greater
nations for decades to come. and,
let us hope, forever"

lowing message:
II am glad to send today to the
American people my affeetionate

day in the year in which men can
feel so much like brothers as on
the day of holy Christmas.
Indeed, this festival, which is
so dear to us. strongly recalls to
our minds the principles and dut-
les of the Christian religion.
These principles and duties are
now inspiring the work of those

re solid basis for the main
fEi ,ce of peace in the world

of the entire humanity. Italy fol-
lows this beneficial work with the
greatest sympathy and with the
most resolute decision of the eff
ficaciously collaborating In this
purpose. TO the strong, gentle and
hospital people of the United
States, I address my warmest
wishes for their future and for
their best and ever prosperous

From Chinese Delegates.
The three Chinese delegates on
their message said:
THE coming of Yuletide serves
to recall to the mind of the mem
bers of the Chinese delegates the
custom of observing the new year
holiday in China which Is charac-
terized by the spirit of peace and
good will as it obtains at the
Christmas time In the western
countries. Young and old gather
together in the home of the oldest
living branch of the family to
celebrate the festivity very much
in the same way that Christmas
is celebrated in the western homes.
'Three years ago at this time
the world was still witnessing the
closing scenes of the European
struggle that had disturbed the
peace Of the world. But today
nine powers, most of whom were
participants in the conflict are
gathering here in Washington to
do away with the causes of war
and to lay the Foundation Of
permanent peace. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that with the
Accomplishment OF the conference,
the expression peace on earth
and good will towards men which
is particularly appropriate at this
festive time, viii henceforth be
