But to be more explicit': Every rold dollar
ha IS. 8 grains of pur cold, and there are
TO0O Troy grain In on pound avoirdupois.
These 11,011,000,000 would weigh almost

PniNCBTON. N. X. Oct. 11. The man
of brain I the only hind of atrong'
man in the world today, and college stu

Is to profit them, said John drier Hlbben,
president of Princeton University, at tho the
opening of the Institution' one hundred
and seventieth year. Work In the uni

President Hlbben said, In part:
There I only on kind of strong man

of brains. No atrong character crows
out of Ignorance or I formed by habit
of Indolence and a systematic neglect
through the college yeer of thou re.
sponsibllltle which the very privilege
of such a place a this Inevitably
create.
I rejoice In the fact that, to the most
casual observer of Princeton's develop
ment during the laat few year it I
evident that there la a growing appre
ciation among our undergraduate of
our Intellectual tradition. I recognise
the fact that there are difficulties which
deter any young man from the attempt
to explore and command tho world of
knowledge. You would Ilka to have a
richly furnished mind and trained In
tellect and discerning judgment. You
would like to have a wide sweep of
vision and an extended mental horizon,
but you do not wish to pay the price.
vAnd the price which must be paid la
the hard grind and the dally sacrifice
of time and of energy, and the aettllng
town to a routine from which your
whole natural Instinct shrinks. In a
word, you are not strong enough to at
tempt a man' work. You are not reso
lute enough to acquire the work habit
You are not courageous enough to
tackle a hard Job. You are "slackers"
at a time when your country need not

-j
FRIENDLY TO. AMERICA
TOKIO. Oct. 11. The fearn of a section
of the Japanete .nubile, which have found
an echo In the United State and China,
that the comln; Into powtr of Ihe new
ministry may be tantamount to war, were
dlecuseed frankly by rrmlr Count Stlkl
Terauchl, In giving- the nrst statement he
haa made In retard to the foreign policy
of his administration.
The Premier gave expression In a sen
tence to the spirit which he declared would
animate his denllng; With other nations.
It was the assertion that Janan would not
lake any agRressivs step toward the United
States or any other country "so long; a
Japan's vlal Interests and dignity are not
Infringed."
"Any Idea that I shall "wave Ihe sword
while I am I'rlme Minister of Japan Is
based on a false comprehension of my
career and a complete misconception of the
Japanese Rmplre. It past -nnd Its hopes
and Ideals for the' future," he sold,

dominating military figure, hnn. excited n
discussion Overshadowed by no Mingle event
In modern Japanese history. In view of
the world-wide Interest In the significance
of his appointment and the misgivings It
apparently haa caused, the Premier, who
has long had the refutation of taciturnity,
consented to break his silence and give to
the world a general Idea of his purposes
and policies.
HIS MESSAOE TO AMKIUCA.
The Field Marshal said:
Tell the American people that my rom
est and constant endeavor shall be to pro
mote the friendly tie which have bound
Japan and America tor half a century.
"Tour people know my administrative
record In Korea. Because I am a success
ful soldier, ahall that prevent my being a
prudent Minister of State? Say It, repeat
It, that I come a a atatesman, who Is
setklft the testing intern: et mV peepte,
not m a mtlitarlet seeking alerlAcatien by

The Premier disclaimed rrsponelblllly for

He declared emphatically that, a Pre

Including Immigration. In this respect, he
said, he would follow closely the policies

"A the Ministry wa organised only yes
terday, I have hot discussed China with
my associates." he replied. "However,
rpeaktng generally, Japan's ambition I to
have China benent. like Japan, from the
fruit of world civilisation and world prog
ress. The Japanese and Chines people
have sprung from the same stock, our fu
ture destiny l a common destiny that I
historically Involved."
Though he wa unable to dwell en a de
tailed program, the Premier continued, he
could afflrm that America's Interest In
China would be harmed In nowfse by Japan,
which had no Intention ef violating China's
sovereignty or preventing Interested nation
from having equal opbortunltles.
"People talk of cWflg the door," he said.
"That l a complete nonpotsumu.
"Bo long a J a pah's vital Interest and
dignity are not Inrrlr.ged Japan wit) lake
no aggressive step against any nation, es
pecially America,"
"Will the Japanese alliance with nuasla
be the basis of policy In the Orient t" he
waa asked.
"Japan, true to her obligation, naturally
will be bound In her future policies by her
alliances with rireat Britain and nutsla,"
he responded, "but that don not Imply dis
regard of fostering amity with others, nota
bly America, whose friendship and co
operation we have every reason to cherish.
The empire faces a situation which de
mands strenuous and unified exertion to
secure reforms of the national life, to nour
ish the strength of her resources and to
place the nation on an unshakable founda
tion of secure and lasting peace In the Far
East. Our supreme efforts abroad should
be to maintain faith with foreign Power
and to be strictly fair and Upright. Japan's
progress as a world Power, which ft Inev

caution, especially In the period of a world
