1t became plain, at Washington, at

be bought into old-time relations of
amity, genuine progress toward adjudi-

never really be made.

not wholly unselflsh. North American

r T is very strange how little attention
has been paid in this country to the
reaction In Japan TO the proposal
to renounce war as an instrument
of national policy. One might have
expected that this phase of the discus
sion would have attracted instant and
widespread attention. and the fact that
this has not been the case Is, In itself,
both significant and reassuring.
Not so very long ago any American
traveller who was privileged to hear the

show; but 1t is at least an outstanding
milestone on the pathway of peace. And
the Japanese have not only seen this
clearly, but are acting upon it.
1t may be that the relatively slight
attention given to japan's reply may
be explained partly by the nature Of
the reply. and partly by the fact that
the Western woodland we are not
alone in this--has not yet learned to
appreciate at its full value the sincere
and genuine quality Of japanese foreign
policy. Nowhere has the tried wisdom
of the older statesmen of Japan been
more in evidence than In their deal
