WASHINGTON. April IL fBy The AS

stooG to have expressed substantial
agreement with the American govern
usnt's contention that the United

The French reply was received
Yesterday. but whether 1t will be made

formal response from the French
Foreign Office.
British Reply Not Final
The reply from Great Britain, also
received yesterday, was no more than
an knowledgement Of the receipt OF
the American communication, it was
learned. This serves to strengthen
the opinion in some official and Dip

volved in the disposition Of the island
OF zap to sink into com parative unim-
portance before a discussion OF all the
questions centering about the Pacific
regarding which Japan and Amer ca
have serious differences.
Permanent Understanding Sought
The plan to send q representative OF
the Japanese government to Washing
tor is not unconnected with the in
ternal situation in this country. It is
understood an influential group is in
sisting that Japanese foreign policies
be remodeled with che particular view
to procuring settlement of Pacific prob
lens, and q general understanding, per-
manent in nature, with America. The
basis of this understanding would be
friendly cooperation.
Attainment of this program may in
vovo change in the Japanese Min
istry. Major General Giiuchi Tanaka
Minister of War already has placed his
resignation in the hands of Premier
Hara.
1t is apparent the political situation
in Japan is complicated by differences
over purely internal questions. includ
ing the one regarding the betrothal OF
the Crown Prince, which came to light
recently, and which seems not have
been settled in some important aspects.
Everyth ng here, however, tends to
show that the highest circles Of the
Empire are concentra ting their atter-
ton on relations with America, which
responsible Japanese openly declare
must he improved"
Leading newspapers, in their com
ment on the Hughes note, declare it is
liable to place Japan in an embarrass-
ing position. as the Allies may find
difficulty in supporting Japans claims
in the face of insistence upon Amer
lean demands from Washington.
The Yomi-Uri Shimbun of this city
which is many times apparently in
spired in commenting on international
ture of the problems discussed by the
Hughes note. 1t expresses the opinion
that the question of mandates is Ger
tain to cause an increase of excite
ment, both in Japan and in America
until it becomes matter of more in
tense interest than either tire Cali
forna or Shantung problem.
at may" the newspaper continues
force Japan and America to take
blind action
Two Solutions Proposed
"There are two ways Of preventing
possible collision" the article goes
lem as a technical matter regarding
communications, and settle it by
mutual concessions. Second, to magnify
it so that it will represent the Pacific
problems Of japan and America in
their entirety. and attempt to secure
at once, the solution of all Of them"
TIE Teik6ku News Agency quotes
Admiral Sakamoto, member of the
House Of Peers, as saying that recent
statements by Minister of Murine
Kato. in which he said he would not
insist upon the carrying out of the
present Japanese naval program, came
at highly opportune time. when
the world regards Japan with sus-
picicn.''
