JAPAN HOPES j. s.
WILL ALTER POLICY
Toxic Expects Roosevelt's
"NeW Deal" to Extend to
Far Eastern Relations.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

That the new deal" frequently men,
toned by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt in
his campaign speeches might be ex-
tended to the Japanese American rela-
tions, is the belief Of the leaders of the
Japanese government, Premier Count
Saito. Gen. Araki and Count Uchida,
according to the japanese publicist,
K. X. Kawakami. who returned yester-
day from Toxic, after a four months
visit to Japan and Manchuria.
According to Mr.. Kawakami, the
japanese statesmen are anxious to re-
store friendly relations with the United
States, but have not been able to do so
because "Japan's national pride did not
permit her to make move in that di-
rection. while Japan was being openly
scolded by the American Government. ="
But the japanese government, Mr..
Kawakami reports, may feel free to take
such step. now that a new administra-
| tion, with no previous commitments on
| the Manchurian situation" is soon to be
inaugurated at Washington.
OF course the Japanese leaders do
not expect complete reversal of the
! Hoover r-Stimson policies, but having in
| mind that the new President will be
! greatly lIllcISSJcu III IcNlNdl VI dQc
| and exports, hope to be able to induce
| the Democratic administration to look
/ at the Manchurian situation from a
/ different angle than the present one,
| by holding out the hope that the OPEN
door policy will be strictly enforced.
Before leaving Toxic, three weeks
| ago, Mr. Kawakami saw everybody who
is anybody in Japan, and was told, like
the special emissaries which Japan
| has sent to Europe, to draw the atten-
ton of the American people to the
fact that the prospects OF business with
! Manchukuo are excellent, since Man
chukuo, being an exporting rather than
an importing country its trade balance
| has always beenin in its favor" and
consequently she will be able to pur-
| chase and pay cash for all the para
| phernalia a new household like the new
Manchukuo State, needs,
And there will be no opposition on
the part of Japan for the American
business men to trade with Manchu-
kuo Mr.. Kawakami states; on the con-
| traIy, Japan welcomes American trade
| in Japan 1t is true, he added, that
| the severe depreciation of the yen and
| the consequent relative appreciation OF
| the dollar have momentarily retarded
American imports to that region.
Will Go a Long Way.
OF course, Mr. Kawakami overlooks
| the fact that the Chinese silver dollar
has equally deprecated, even more than
the yen, and yet American trade with
China proper, which had increased in
| 193O-l931 by some 10 per cent, has fur
| ther increased in the first nine months
of the year by 26 per cent. This be-
/ cause there are no political restrictions
/ whatsoever in the way of Americas
commerce with th4 Chinese people who
are not under a foreign domination.
Nevertheless. the japanese govern
ment is prepared to go long way
| toward a more hearty cooperation with
| the incoming American administration.
| While it would be impossible for the
| Japanese government" Mr. Kawakami
/ states, ito revoke the recognition she
/ extended to the new state of Man
chukuo our leaders may go consider
| able way toward reconciliation with the
| United States If America would like
wise show disposition to cooperate
with her.
