PARIS. March 1.-(UP).-Yo-
suke Matsuoka. japanese diplo-
mat, harshly criticised the United
States Yesterday for its attitude
in the Manchurian dispute.
Matsuoka, chief delegate of his
country to the session of the
League of Nations which con-
demned Japanese aggres on
against China, granted the United
Press an interview while here en-
route home via the United States.
Except for American influence
with The league" said Matsuoka,
81 think we should have come to
terms"
Matsuoka. who was educated in
America, declared it was not
pleasant for any japanese to say
such things, but admitted that he
felt the time had come for Japa-
nese to. speak frankly.
"Japan would regard American
participation in the proposed con-
citation committee on Manchuria
with suspicion and distrust," he
declared. Washington already has
indicated a willingness to partici-
pate in that committee, if it ever
is formed.
"Yom popular and even at
times your governments attitude
has been. we feel. unfair to us.
You condone the faults and fail
ures of China despite their colos-
sal character. and magnified and
exaggerated ours.
"Your influence against us with
the league was evident from the
beginning"
Matsuoka let it be known def
nitely, however, that he is pro-
ceeding to the United States
aboard the liner Europa on March
Is. He intends to visit Washing.
ton and New York and to stop of
at the university where he was g
student. He had almost changed
his mind after publication of the
Stimson note supporting the
leagues action against Japan
fearing negotiations at Washing
ton would prove fruitless.
However, he now is looking for.
ward to seeing the incoming Pres.
ident Roosevelt, whom he knew
in Washington as under-secretar!
of the navy some years ago. HI
hopes to do some good at Wash
ington and to conduct important
conversations bearing on tn
whole Far Eastern situation. il
addition to improving relation
between America and Japan.
Matsuoka indicated an opinion
that anything which might cause
these relations to become worse
might prove disastrous both fol
Japan and possibly the United
! States.
