THE full text of the good
will notes exchanged be-
tween Koki Hirota, jap
i anese foreign minister. and
Cordell Hull, Secretary Of
State. follow:
ITO the Honorable
The Secretary of State.
ut is a significant fact that ever
since Japan and the United States
opened their doors to each other,
exactly 80 years ago. the two coun-
tries have always Maintained a re-
lationship of friendliness and cor
diality.
1T is a matter for qualification
to both our countries that they
produce very few commodities
which represent conflicting inter-
ests in their foreign trade, that
each supplies what the other
wants, that they are good GUS
toners of each others products
and that they are strengthening
their relation of interdependence
year after year.
Sees Complete Amity.
Il firmly believe that. viewed in
the light of the broad aspect of
the situation and studied from all
possible angles. no question exists
between our two countries that is
fundamentally incapable of am
icable solution. l do not doubt
that all issues pending between
the two nations will be settled in
a satisfactory manner. when ex-
amined with good understand
ing on the part of each of the
others position; discussed with an
open mind and in all frankneSs
and approached with spirit of
cooperation and conciliation.
Il can state with all emphasis
at my command that the Japanese
nation makes it its basic principle
to cOllaborate in peace and har-
mony with all nations and has no
intention whatever to provoke and
make trouble with any other power.
1T is the sincere desire of Japan
that a most peaceful and friendly
relation will be firmly established
between her and her great neigh
Dor across the Pacific, the United
States. And to this end / have
been eXerting my best efforts since
l took the post of foreign min
lister.
Sends Message by SaitO.
81 am happy. therefore. to avail
myself of the occasion of the ar
rival in your country of Mr.. Saito,
the new Ambassador. to lay before
you, through him, Mr.. Secretary.
my thoughts as to the necessity of
promoting our traditional friend
ship as above.
Il hope and believe that the de-
sire of the japanese government in
this respect will be reciprocated by
a full support and countenance on
the part of your Government"
Secretary Hull'S reply, delivered
through Hiroshi Saito. Japanese
Ambassador here. follows:
'Mr. Saito. the new Ambassador
OF Japan to the United States.
has delivered to me the personal
and informal message which you
have been so good as TO send me
The cordial sentiments which
you express in this message l
hlehly appreciate and reciprocate.
Il have not failed to note, with
qualification, your eXcellency's
effort to foster friendly relations
with other powers. In all such
effort I am sure that you realize
that you may rely upon me for the
fullest possible measure of cooper
alton.

Toxic, it is said, to shelve most Of the
fire eaters.
The realization in political quarters
in Japan that 1t. would never pay
that country to embark upon a naval
and military race with the United
States has done much to dampen the
bellicose attitude of many japanese
nationalists. In addition the terrific
expenses incurred by Japan during
the last 80 months also have some
thing to do with the desire of the jap
anese government to change its policy
to one of greater friendliness toward
her neighbors.
Whatever the causes may be for a
change in the attitude of the Jap
aneSe government, the American Gov
eminent, it is stated, is willing to ex-
tend a friendly hand toward Japan,
and is ready to do all it can to bring
peace and tranquility to the Far East.

ID. & ii. PARLEYS HELD.
Presidents Commission May Adjust
Wage Difficulties.

ALBANY, N, Y, March 81 P-
Moving suddenly in an effort to avert
strike among the engine and train
men of the Delaware & Hudson Rail-
road, President RooSevelt's commits
sion held several secret conferences
today with the unions and the COM
pany.
Representatives of both sides indi-
Gated progress had been made and
that an amicable adjustment was
probable. The Roosevelt commission
was named to hear the disagreement
over wage and working conditions
when the workers called a strike on
March 9. A walkout on June has
been threatened If mediation efforts
fail.
Abruptly interrupting a public hear
ing the commissioners held separate
conferences with local and national
officials of the Big Four" brother
hoods and officials of the Delaware

nina closed doors, was held with the
workers.

BRITAIN IN FAVOR
Of NAVAL PARLEY
Preliminary -Japa-
nese Conference Dis
CuSSed in London.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 21.-An authori-
tative British source said today that
Great Britain would welcome any
preliminary Americana Japanese naval
conference which might result from
the exchange of goodwill notes be-
tween the governments at Washing
ton end Toxic.
Official circles here say they be-
licve the danger of a naval arma
ments race lies primarily between the
United States and Japan, with Great
Britain involved indirectly.
All Indications the authoritative
source said. ARE that Japan most
certainly vii! make immediate de-
mands for naval parity with the
United States once the subject is
opened.
Probability of Parity.
THE probability that this also
would mean naval parity with Great
Britain is apparently more or less in
cidental to the japanese"
The British government. it was said
would expect to be kept informed of
developments if the tWo-pOwer talks
are held. as would also signatories to
the Washington and London naval
treaties expiring in 1886
Richard Washburn Child. special
emissary for President Roosevelt, ar
rived today. Arrangements had al
ready been made for him to confer
privately tomorrow with Sir John
Simon, foreign secretary.
May Explain L. S. Aims.
Although Childs main purpose here
Is to determine the possibility for re-
suming the world economic confer
cnce. it is expected he will explain to
Simon Roosevelt's underlying aims in
today's overtures to Toxic
Disarmament is the chief concern
Of Simon.
Although a world naval conference
is expected to be held in 1885, the
british attitude is that the nations
should not rush into it should
Roosevelt wish to delay it until after
the American presidential campaign
CT 1886.
1t was said that responsible British
quarters would sympathize with Presi-
cent Roosevelt's viewpoint should he
wish to delay the conference in order
TO avoid any possible political en-
barraSsment.

1888 Conference Recalled.
President Roosevelt's previous entry
into the rail wage dispute occurred
in conference between the employ
ers and employees in June, 1888. at
Washington. AT his request it was
then agreed to continue the 10 per
cent cut until July /. 1884.

Question of Compromise.

Whether the employees will accept

by their representatives later They

with counter proposal for 20 per
cent increase
The employees, through representa-
ton in several large bcotherhoods,
have contended ever since the wage
cut first was agreed to, in January
1882. that reducing wages damages
the workers buying power and thus
retards recovery from depression.
They accepted the cut at that time.

Agreement. aA-
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND. March 21.-Yester-
days request by President Roosevelt
for a settlement of the wage dispute
between railroad employers and their
many thousands of workers is the
second time the Nations Chief Execu-
tive has thus entered the case.
Railroad employees now are working
under an agreement which cuts their
wages 10 per cent below basic rates.
The agreement expires July /.
Anticipating that expiration. rail-
road owners were asking the workers
to accept an additional per cent
slash, but agreed today at the PreSi-
dents urge, to withdraw that pro-
posal and let the wages stand on the
present 10 per cent cut basis.

any such call. And anyway, what if I had? A telephone call isn't legal evidence unless he can prove I made it. Suppt sin they do pinch that guy Pete or whatever his name was. And supposin' they do find some sweg O.. him that was in the parcel? What of it? What of 1t if some mobster shipped the Stevenes job swag parcel post? Does that prove did it? Did I make, that phone call? did not! Let him try and prove 1t! I was talking to a girl friend!"
 For a moment the Lieutenant looked at Paddy. There was a lot to what the Duke claimed. The fact that a man named Pete called for a parcel addressed to James Olliphant and that parcel was found to contain the swag from the Stevenes robbery did not connect the Duke with the job unless Paddy could prove that the Duke had made that telephone call to Pete. Then he had the Duke. He could prove that he knew of where the proceeds of the robbery were sent and that made the Duke an accessory, to say the least. It was enough to hold the Duke and get him a long stretch up the river.

More followed, and then the Duke hung up. Paddy eased open the door of the booth he was fin and stepped out into the aisle. The Duke emerged and seemed sur prised.
 "Put lem up, mugt" Paddy growled, his hand on his gun. "So you didn't do that Stevenes job, eh? Huh! Shipped the swag parcel post, general delivery, and left yourself clean, eh? Smart! But not smart enough? Come alongW
 The Duke realized that Paddy had overheard his conversation but he was too alert to try to argue with Paddy at that time. Better to wait until he was at the station house where he could speak to an officer. They were no sooner before the Lieutenant at the desk than the Duke began his plea. Paddy had told his story.
 "This cops crazy, screwy!" the Duke exclaimed. T didn't make

Paddy heard the deep bong" as the coins were dropped into the slot and rang the gong. There was a short pause, and then the voice of the Duke:
 Hello! Pete? This is the Duke. How are you? Good! Listen, get this straight, it's important. Go down to the post office and get a parcel for me. will you? It's ad- dressed to James Olliphant, care of General Delivery, and it's register ed. You'd better write yourself some letters to your address and when you get them, take them along with you for identification. Grab the parcel and take good care of it. It's mine! Get it? James Olliphant? Right! Thake good care of it! That's 8 pail"
 There was a break in the con- versation for time. Apparently Pete had news of importance, for the Duke emitted several exclaima- tions of surprise.
 What's that, Pete? Too much dough for talkin? Say, what do you think I am? Simple? I'm. far from it. Talk half the night. if you feel like it! I'm feedin' the saps slungs! should pay for a telephone ca1liI

SLUGS

Not only had the Duke slipped from his fingers when Paddy felt he was guilty but the Duke had had the nerve to throw taunt into his face.
 Paddy stomped, down into the captains office. Ten minutes later he emerged with the assignment to cover the Duke for the next ten days.
 Late that night Paddy had him located. He was in the same hotel from which Paddy claimed he had left for the Stevenes job. Endless days and nights followed with Paddy ever on the trail. His quest seemed hopelese. All of the Dukes movements were above board and open. The Captain began to chide Paddy for wasting time.
 It was nearly midnight when Paddy saw the the Duke saunter from the entrance of the hotel. He was making long distance call to another city.

robbery and could prove it. The hotel staff confirmed his statement. The Duke had checked in about ten o'clock in the evening. He had left a call for two-thirty in the morning. When the room clerk had telephoned the room the sleepy voice of the Duke had answered and shortly the Duke in person had descended from his room.
 But, reasoned Paddy, if the Duke could descend from the top of one building to the roof of another by means of a rope, which police rec ords showed that he had done be- fore now, why couldn't he de- scend from his fifth floor hotel room to the roof of four story building that was beneath his win dow? He could leave the room, do the Stevenes job and return to his room in time for the call by the same means be left! Paddy was certain that was just what he had done. The trouble was >that he could not prove it!'
 Grumblinge to himself. Paddy turned and made his way back to his station house. There was a grim determination about Paddy. He had been stung to the quick.
