Makes Final Visit.

Juukuro Kadono, oficial adviser to the
japanese delegation to the London Con-

The joint declaration follows:
AT the conclusion of our conversa-
tions we are happy to note that our
views coincide in regard to practical
steps which need to be taken toward
solving the outstanding economic prob
lens which are now of common in
terest and concern to all nations.
Hope for Peace.
1--WE concur in the view that eco
nomic stability and political tranquil
lity are complementary essentials to a
sound basis for peace; that neither Of
these can be achieved without the
other, and that both economic and
military disarmament are needed for
their attainment. 1t Is our ardent
hope that both may be achieved. We
have had, of necessity, to think of the
unusual situation which has prevailed
in the Far East during the past two
years.
I'VE hope that the countries Of the
Far East along with those of the Oc-
cident will be able to contribute sub
stantially, in a spirit of cooperation,
to the laying of solid foundations for
structure of world peace and pros
perity.
I'VE are in complete concurrence in
the view that in place of the existing
monetary chaos, there should be estab-
lished, by international effort, an or
derly regime and that unreasonable OBJ
stacles to the fiow of trade and capital
where they now exist should be re-
moved and where they do not exist
should be adequately safeguarded
against.
Await Conference.
I'VE consider 1t highly desirable that
the price Of silver be reasonably en-
hanced and that silver exchange be
stabilized.
With regard to many other meas
ures which need to be adopted in order
to establish the conditions of economic
and political health throughout the
world we are in close agreement.
I'VE look toward the converting Of
the World Economic Conference and
We observe the work Of the Disarma-
ment Conference resolved to contribute
to the maximum Of our ability, in
spirit of utmost cooperation, to the
end that through the instrumentality
of sincere and determined efforts on
the part of all the nations principles
and practices may be agreed upon
which will be helpful to each and to
