PEACE WITH i. s,

Kato Declares Nation Appre-

By the Associated Press.

TOXIC, December 25.-Responding
to official expressions from the United
States and American editorial opinion
as cabled here regarding Japanese
American relations, Premier kato to-
night told the Associated Press of his
appreciation of the newest aspect of
the situation between the two coun-
tries.
Japan is keenly appreciative of the
earnestnesS displayed by President
Coolidge and Secretary Hughes" said
the premier, "in denouncing efforts of
naval propagandists to embroil Japan
and America. We are heardly less CRATE
full for the extraordinary expressions
Of cordiality used in welcoming the
new Ambassador to the United States.
America has thus given further as
surance of the realness of her friend
ship toward Japan. We are not mis-
led by the vicious activities of ire
sponsible groups of individuals In
either country. We know the United
States desires peace, we know Japan
desires peace.
Japan is not cont emplating war
with any country or preparing in
secret or overtly for war. She main
tains her national defense as best
she can and in doing so is comforted
by the knowledge that American
authorities have repeatedly affirmed
their confidence, In spirit and In fact,
of American adherence to the prin-
ciples to which both countries have
committed themselves"
In conclusion the premier said
earnestly: I'VE expect to conduct our
relations with America in all their
developments in the faith that we
are striving toward that goal and that
We shall attain 1t only through
honest cooperation. In this belief
we are unable to regard any question
between the two countries as in
capable of amicable and satisfactory
solution
