CEISHAS INK
 IN JAPANESE
 DIPLOMACY
Nippon Statesman Sees Ruin in Policy of Linking Women Entertainers with State Affairs.
By DUKE N. PARRY Qntefnational News Heryice)

Tokio.--Geishas and statesmen is the theme of a recent criticism snf the public men of Japan by Mar quis Okuma, sage of Waseda, To- kio, and a former Prime Minister. That the beautiful charmers of the young men of Japan and of the tourists should not be publicly as- sociated with the controllers of the Empires destinies is the point made by Marquis Oknma. In g haractetistically frank and breezy interview given recently in Tokio, the Marquis freely admits that he sowed his wild oats when youth; he even goes so far as to condorle the custom of having geisha enter tainment. But he seriously objects to the now popular idea in Japan of settling nations destinies in a machiai (geisha restaurant).
 'I don't mind confessing that in my youth l sowed my wild oats,' says the Marquis. But I have more than once warned Prince Yamagata, the so-called secret ruler of Japan, that the discussion of affairs of state in geisha houses is wrong"
 There is perhaps no nation in the world where politics and enter tainment are so necessarily mixed as are the politics and entertain ments of Japan Geisha entertain ment, consisting of the typical Japanese music and dancing and smart talk by brilliantly dressed young Japanese women is the high est compliment that can be paid a political figure for some political prestige given. Foreign statesmen and new arrivals in Japan are ire quently given sumptious geisha parties, and these entertainments are alawys ranked as among the most distinctively pleasant that a visitor to the Orient has. To main tain the old idea of the geisha house is, in the opinion of Marquis Okuma, quite the thing. But he deplores the meddling of the geisha in poli- tics. t
 Tn the former days continued Marquis Okuma. politics in Japan were discussed in clubs where women were not admitted. Today they are discussed in common geisha house. Yamagata, Ito. Terauchi and their crowd, all of them bearing names which are prominent in Japanese history, used to indulge in revelries. l, therefore, do not begrudge the present Cabinet Ministers their en- poyment of the company of beau tiful Japanese women. But the of Japan suffers when our controlling statesmen advertise the fact that they hold banquets and discuss the Empires affairs in the geisha house.
