BY RELMAN MORN,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
TOXIC, July 17.-Some of Japan's
leading public men are searching
assiduously for means of mending
the tatters in Japan's relations with
the United States. Business leaders.
especially, are eager to patch things
up with America.
This movement has considerable
public support. The japanese peo-
pie have given ample evidence Of
their wish to retain the United
States friendship, and their hopes
are encouraged by official policy of
withholding much information of
American-JapaneSe friction.
All this fits in well with govern
ment policy. If there is one bogey
japanese leaders fear more than
others it is the possibility of con-
certed policy and action in the Far
East by the two great Anglo-SaXon
powers to oppose Japan's ambitions
to dominate East Asia. Ever since
the invasion of China began two
years ago, there has been a studied
effort to differentiate between the
treatment of Britain and America
in China and to cultivate in the
minds of the people a distinction
between the two English-speaking
nations. japanese diplomacy seeks
to keep the two apart.
Britain Chief Villain.
Britain is consistently pictured as
the chief villain of the piece;
America as the understanding and
condoning friend.
There are many evidences of the
anxiety of the japanese people to
believe this. Some leaders would
have Japan even turn her back on
her totalitarian pals-Germany and
1taly-and cast her lot entirely
with-not the so-called European
democracies-but the United States
When an American cruiser last
spring brought home the body of
Hirosi Saito, former Ambassador
who died in Washington, it was the
occasion of a great outpouring of
popular sentiment of gratitude to
and friendship for the United States
japanese were anxious to believe it
meant all was forgiven-the sinking
OF the Panay and the closing of

the saddle today. But the influence
of the others cannot be discounted,
and 1t is in these groups that the
belief in necessarily closer relations
with the United States Is burning
at white heat.
An analysis of this belief shows
these major reasons:
/. A genuine admiration of Amer
lean methods and policies, not only
in diplomacy but in business and a
conviction that the average Amer
lean is fair and open-minded.
2. TIE belief that, commercially
Japan and the United States are
perfect compliments for each other
3. The similarity, as the Japanese
see it, between the position of Japan
and United States in respect to the
rest of the world The Government
has repeatedly stated that its ma
tional policy is neither democratic
nor totalitarian. Despite the anti
Comintern pact, it is believed that
If war develops between the Rome
Berlin axis and the British French
bloc Japan, like the United States
would attempt to remain neutral.
Specific Plan Lacking.
What could Japan do to effect the
desired concordat? No very clear
plan has been formulated yet.
There is the matter of opening
the Yangtze River to American
shipping, and relaxing other re-
strictions on American business, in
China. At this point, the harmony
plan hits serious snag-British
interests.
japanese say that if American
boats and firms were the only ones
an agreement could be made in Is
minutes
But if we do that for the Amer
leans, the Japanese asks, what are
we going to tell the British when
they demand the same privileges?"
