Worried 0er United States America's attitude toward Japan in Far Eastern affairs is deeplj occupying the Japanese, who apparently are try ing to understand what significance lies behind the recent note sent to the Pow era by Secretary of State Hughes reln tivo to the disposition of mandates over islands in the Pacific Endeavors will be mndc, it Is declared, to determine America's exact Intentions in the Far East, and Japan is said to be disposed frankly to outline her own attitude The Foreign Office declines to discuss the visit to America of Admiral Triu. who is n close friend of Seoretarv of State Hughes and Sceretnr.v of War Weeks. The trend of public discussion hero relative to relations between Japan nd America is distinctly away from the immigration problem and toward the vaster field of Asia, it being believed that an understanding on Asiatic mat ters is urgently needed. Emphasiring this view. Count Soye Jtma, n Liberal member of the House of Peers, has begun a series of articles on relations between Japan and America with the avowed purpose of throwing such light on the situation as may lead to an adjustment. He dismisses the California question as n "local diffi culty." but insists that potential causes of trouble i-rlst on Asiatic questions. "If the United Statei, with her enor mous wealth and astounding power," he say, 'should oppress Japan, it would be impossible for Japan to maintain the peace, despite all her efforts to do so, because her security would be endan gered." Organized studv of firmaments, with view to fixing n basis for the policy of the part in the next Diet, has been begun by members of the Kensel-Kai, or opposition, party in the House of Peers. They hope thus to induce the Government to cut down national ex penditures. HorUm Rorer A Ceo.
