same man with tho the same mind as when I left America for far Japan In December 1905 I I know that some questions have arisen since then about the segregation of or Japanese children in the schools upon the Pacific coast and about Japanese emigration I cannot tell you ou what tho the exact status of oC these questions arc are yet et I can tell you that In of or the excitement and speculation reported from time to time b by the newspapers thero there has hns never been an any chan change o In tho friendship of the two governments which had been historically established between them and they thoy aro arc both aa as sincere sincere sin sin- cere core as ever in their cordial relations C Conditions Condition Unchanged I This Is at least what I am given to understand and I am going back bach to Washington in my confident belief that I will find them tho the sam good friends as ns I left them two years ago last D December cc As Aa to tho the voyage of the American fleet to tile the Pacific coast so much I consider It it- purely talked of or recently an American affair I hear there have been all sorts of or speculations advanced regarding the motives of or such a voyage but I have always thought the most reasonable one that we can attribute It to Is that It is a naval maneuver on a n. grand scale It will certainly show other nations what wonderful power tho the United States has at Its command It Is la impossible for a man of or ordinary ordinary ordinary nary sanity to think of a war between two powers like o ours in spite of or tho tim sincere friendship actually existing be between between be- be tween treen them It Is a crime crImo against humanity hu hu- humanity hu- hu manity manit a against civilization against the of or mankind well being of or tho the
