The level headed people of both conn 1' tries should not only discredit lut con-si con-si deinn them. All I heard in Japan was I k' confirmatory of the opinion which I 1 had previously reached that there is ji no reason for hostilities between the United States and Japan, and that the ; I l'cal interests of neither government ! 1 could be promoted by war. Differences i may arise, but they should be settled by diplomacy, arbitration or an appeal ' to The Hague tribunal. . 1 "Japan is struggling under a heavy A ! national debt.
