BURDENED BY MANY PROBLEMS
Cooling of u. S. Friendship, Failure to
Renew British Alliance and Industrial
Demands Cause Worry.

to get in touch with the west be-
cause Japan. associated with the oc-
cident for scarcely more than half
century. has come to the realization
that her knowledge of the occident
and all that it stands for is insult
fcient. She is. it is understood. ready
to submit her case frankly to the re-
presentatives of the powers assem-
bled at Washington. The Toxic cor
respondent of the Associated Press has
been assured by responsible spokes-
men that however much war talk
may be indulged in by sensational
Japanese. the real Japan knows the
any feeling of estrangement and of
returning to the earlier days of
friendly cooperation.
Declare Wnr Cnthinkable.
BUSINESS leaders, during the voy-
age across the Pacific en- route to
washington, said: War with the
United States is unthinkable for us.
For one thing. our lack Of natural
resources would make it impossible" ."
others frankly referred to the absurd
ambitions of Japanese chauvinists and
said that they were so insular that
they judged all world problems from
the standpoint of Japan alone.
The leaders insisted that the motto
of present-day Japan was that ex-
pressed recently in Toxic by Viscount
Maxine. minister of the imperial
household. when Crown Prince Hiro-
h1to returned from Europe; namely.
that the recognition of the interna- l.
tional interdependence of Japan must
be her guiding principle and that
Japan isolated and alone could not
prosper.
Concerned Over Alliance.
The third matter of concern to Jap
anese is understood to be the failure
OF British statesmen to agree upon a
renewal Of the alliance or military
pact, with Japan. Irrespective of the
question as to what powers or power
the alliance was directed against
the agreement was deemed of, great
moral strength of Japan because it
made her an ally Of a great white
power. The old agreement contin-
ues automatically until denounced by
either party. but both have agreed
harmony with the covenant Of the
league of nations it is the covenant
and not the alliance itself. whichsshall Il
prevail Japanese publicists already
call the alliance a dead letter" and
consider that a powerful prop has
been removed from under Japan.
Japan's relations with China have
not materially improved. and China
in its state of disorganization, is ba-
lieved by Japanese to be vital prob
lem because the future of both as
the great oriental powers is closely
and Intimately linked.
The official Japanese delegation has
spent the last days in organizingofor
the serious work of the conference
There are indications that the tragic
death of the premier. while causing
temporary panic, will not be permit t.

BY the Associate Press.

BY the Assoria ted Press.
Japan enters the week of the open
ing of the armament conference with
a critical political situation at home,
with national economic situation
that is causing her leaders appre-
henSion, and with her relations with
foreign powers, particularly the
United States, Great Britain and
China, viewed by her foreign Office
as at least open to improvement.
Many of the ableSt Japanese are
now either in Washington or in other
parts of the United States engaged
in the task of helping their country
find its true place in the world.
Blame Industrial Situation.
The present situation is frankly at
tributed by responsible Japanese to
the fact that in her rapid ABSORPTION
of western civilization Japan has not
realized the inevitable effect of that
civilization upon her own countrymen.
who have awakened to a spirit of
liberalism and are demanding more
from the state as individuals. De-
Eeloped into an industrial nation
from an agricultural one, Japan. more
and more dependent upon her indus
trial workers, is finding them almost
recalcitrant at time when the cost
of living is higher than in any other
country, and when the country's s
manufactured products are with
difficulty finding world market in
competition with those of other coun-
tries where labor is cheaper. where
thrift has become habit and where
the workman's efficiency is greater.
The industrial situation in Japan is
believed to be a cause of the prevail
ing unrest.
In foreign political relations. the
japanese people. as whole are en-
tirely dissatisfied with the trend of
affairs between their country and the
United States. Everybody seems to
realized the vague estrangement that
has developed since the epoch of the
Russo-Japanese war when the Japan
ese felt that they enjoyed the SYM
pathy and approval of the American
people.
Believe L. s. Opposes Growth.
One great cause of that estrange-
ment. Japanese explain, is the fact
that it was the United States that
consistently protested as Japan. from
to time made political moves in con-
nectiOn with her expansion in the far
east. The effect Of this was to pro-
duce upon Japanese minds the i'm
preston that America, and America
alone, was becoming Jealous OF
Japan's swift ascendency in the world
and was attempting to check IT.
! This idea is frequently voiced in the
press of Japan where politicians claim
that their country has done no more
than other nations in the past.
There is reason to believe that the
coming of so many representative
Japanese to the United States repre-
sents, for one thing, sincere effort

WEST TO BURN CORN.
Large Quantities to Be Consumed
Unless Prices Go Up.

Large quantities of corn will be
burned as fuel on western farms this
winter unless the prices should material
ly advance. according to the belief of
Secretary Wallace. Corn at 80 cents
bushel is equal in value to coal a:
SIG ton, and at 20 cents a bushel. he
said, corn would be equivalent to fuel
coal at $40 ton.
"In districts where corn IS very cheap
now the coal is OF rather poor grade
and is selling at high pr,ces," the Sec
rotary of Agriculture said. He declared
that the use OF surplus grain as fuel In
times of low marketability was not an
uncommon occurrence in other cereal
raising countries, corn having been
burned in Argentina under such condi-
tions. not only on farms, but in power
plants.
