JAP AN DESIRES
FRIENDSHIP Of
UNITED STATES
More Than Anything Else'
Message to Kiwanis Club
San Francisco, Calf.
WAR WOULD SPELL
JAPAN'S BANKRUPTCY
VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE
BITTERLY OPPOSED TO WAR,
KENNEDY, HEAD OF NEWS
AGENCY STATES.

San Francisco, Feb. 4.--Japan de-
sires more than anything else TO
maintain friendly relations with tho
United States, j. Russell Kennedy, head
OF the Kokusai News Agency OF Ja-
pan, declared in an address before the
Ktwanis Club last night
Mr.. Kennedy who has just COM
pleted tour Of the United States
after about 1j years in the far Easi,
said that everywhere he went he hhs
been asked whether there was to be
war between the two countries. "lf
II were not for the serious side OF
that question, involving as il does,
the suggestion of created impress
sion Il a possibility, indeed of
probability. the question itself would
be childishly absurd" he declared. "G
can give you the most solemn assur-
ance thit II there is one thing in the
world that Japan wishes to avoid
more than another II is the rupture
of friendly relations between this
country and herself"
Mr.. Kennedy went on to say. I'VE
must keep before us always the fact
that there are at work today two
powerful influences, hacked by large
resources seeking 10 create n rupture
not only between countries bordering
on the Pacific, but the countries bord-
ering on the Atlantic.
There is of course, an element
of the jingo and chauvinist in Japan,
but the vast majority of the people
there are bitterly opposed TO war
War between Japan and America
spells bankruptcy for Japan"
Discussing the holding Of land by
aliens, Mr.. Kennedy said:
81 am. !. in full agreement with the
I proposition that every state has the
right to say who shall be admitted to
their privileges as laborer, as traveller
or as resident. | am very confident
that the Japanese government and the
thinking and ruling element in Japan
are in full accord with this PROPOSE
tion"
Mr.. Kennedy said the belief that
foreigners could not hold land in
Japan was myth, since they might
hold 1t under lease as of long duration
AZ 80 years and that another myth
was the belief that Japan had to find
an outlet for a surplus population.
Japan has plenty of room within
her own borders, and within the las
few weeks she has given assurance
that she intends 10 keep her laborers
at home for the purpose Of develop
Ing her own resources and not fhosc
of California or any other place." he
said.
Mr.. Kennedy said Japan hal turn
cd the corner" OF her recent finan-
cin crisis and drawing glowing
picture OF trade opportunities in the
far Eas;, invited Pacific coast busi-
ness men 20 join in development
work in that region.

GERMAN SHIPPING
INTEREST REVIVE
PRE-WAR TRADE

Hamburg, Germany, Jan. lS.-De-
spite lack Of tonnage. shortage OF coal,
labor troubles and a deprecated cur
rency, German shipping interests
have begun an intensive campaign 10
revive pre-war sea trade. Millions
OF marks have already gone into i'm
portant shlp-buildlng contracts.
Hugo SHINES, reputed 10 be the
weathiest man in the new republic,
and a heavy shareholder In num-
ber of shipping companies is report
ed to be attempting TO extend his in
fluence, which is now the controlling
factor in the affairs Of the Hamburg
American Line.
Regular steamship services with
America, South America, East Africa,
Mexico. Cuba. Spain. Portugal. Aus
tralh and Mediterranean and Scan
dinavlan ports, have been reestablish-
ed, and the North Sea. Baltic and
Rhine traffic has assumed new and
lively aspect. Handicapped by short
age OF ships the Germans have turn
cd attention to conversion OF war
ships to commercial usages. to con-
struction of motor ships out OF sail
ing vessels, and to the study OF oil
fuel as substitute for the more ex-
ponsive coal fuel.
Revival Of German commerce Is in
dlcated by the increased number OF
ships calling at the more important
ports. During the first IL months oil
1920, 4,3G9 vessels of Tonnage OF
3.S92,2i0 arrived at h.mburg. as
compared with 1854 vessels and L..
30S, 500 ions In 1919. and 1856 ves-
sells OF ia,0O64s6 tons In the first
II months Of 1919.
The majority OF these vessels. how.
ever. are sailing under foreign flags.
