 OF JAPAN BUDDISTS
tBy the Associated Press)

Honolulu. T. H., July 15.-That the Japanese people as whole have only the kindest feeling toward America and that heads of the Buddhist faith in Japan are continually preaching a doctrine of peace, opposed to mili- tarism, violence and strife of all kinds, were the statements made by Right Rev. Sukuzen Arai, abbot of Sojiji and chief of the monastery of the Soto sect at Tsurumi, Japan, who arrived here recently at the head of a party of Buddhist priests for a months stay in the island. The ab- bot said:
 Despite misunderstanding that arise from time to time, the Japanese people in general have the kindest feelings toward the American people. They wish only the warmest and most enduring friendship between the United States and Japan.
 Buddhism is commonly misunder- stood by Americans, the abbot con- tinued. "The American people do not seem to know that the Buddhist teachings constantly are exerting a pacifying influence in Japan. Our religion is religion of peace. op- posed to militarism, strife and vio- lence of all kinds"
 While here the party will dedicate the new Soto sect mission in Homo lulu. The monastery of which Alb. bot Sukuzen Arai is chief is one of the two principal monasteries Of The
