desires more than anything else to
maintain friendly relations with the
United States, J. Russell Kennedy,
head of the Kokusai News Agency of
Japan, declared in an address here
yesterday.
He has just completed tour of the
United States after about Is years
in the Far East. Every where he went
he was asked whether there was ia
be war between the two countries.
IF it were not for the serious side
of that question, the question itself
would be chiidishly absurd" he de-

solemn assurance that if there is one
thing in the world that Japan wishes
to avoid more than another, it is the
rupture of friendly relations between
this county and herself.
The vast majority % the people
there are bitterly opposed to war.
War between Japan aud America
spells bankruptcy for Japan"
