A LOCAL SQUALL SAYS YAMAMOTO The Japanese Admiral Predicts Clear Skies-We Are Close Neighbors. New York (Special). Viscount Aoki. tbe Japanese ambassador, who attended the reception In honor of Admiral Yamamoto. Issued, through his secretary, a reassertlon of his previous declaration that there is no "Japanese-American situation," and that all talk of trouble between the two nations is a phantom crea tion of Irresponsible trouble-makers and trouble-hunters. If there be any cause for anxiety, he said It Is due to tho influence of un warranted press talk "that often tends to drive even the clamest tem per of the public Into a whirl of tem pestuous rage." The expressions of peace and good will between Japan and the United States, which have so far character ized the visit of Admiral Baron Ya mamoto, former minister of war of Japan, were continued at the luncheon given to hlra by the Japan Society at the Hotel Astor. The speakers, Includ ing Rear Admiral Coghlan, Ambas sador Aoki and Thomas J. O'Brien, the newly appointed ambassador to Japan, heartily Indorsed the object of the society In promoting friendship between the two countries. Admiral Yamamoto In his address said: "It was my Intention to pay my respects to the American nation and the worthy President on my way home from England, whither I had been dispatched by the Emperor of Japan on a special mission. But as the time at my disposal was limited, I was not In a position to definitely ac cept the invitation of the Japan So ciety to luncheon, which I received In England. I was, however, appris ed of the nature and origin of the society since, and I felt It my duty, as well as pleasure, to attend the guthering of the body which has done so much towards the furthering of the friendly feeling between the two countries. It is a very great honor to see you, ladles and gentlemen, here. "It Is now over 50 years since America first opened Intercourse with Japan, and introduced us to the na tions of the West. As I was born about that time, I was taught in my early days of the existence of the United States, almost as soon as that of my own country. 1 have only cited my own experience, but the same thing can be said with regard to a very large number of my com patriots. "We all know what we owe to the United States for the development of our industries and commerce, and also for the education of a number of our countrymen. "We also especially appreciate the sympathy shown us by the Americans during the late war. "It Is about 32 years since I first visited America. I have made three more visits since, making this my fifth visit to thiB country. And each time I came here I was greatly Im pressed with the wonderful progress made. "We have always been next door neighbors, with only an ocean be tween us, but with the acquisition of the Philippines by America, which is quite close to our Formosa our terri tories became stIU nearer, thus facili tating even more Intimate Intercourse between the two nations than hith erto. "Our Interests, commercial and otherwise, are so Intimately inter woven, and the oordial relations be tween us of 5 0 years' standing are of so firm a nature, that I can confident ly affirm that they win never be de stroyed by mere trifling Incidents. It Is true that lately some dark clouds did appear in one quarter of the sky, but it 1b nothing but a local Bquall, and does not In any way rep resent the general state of the weath er. And even this slight cloud will soon be dispersed. "We are all aware of the high sense of Justice and humanity pos sessed by the Americans, the princi ples wnicn form the very foundations of the republic "It Is admitted on all hands that they arc the leaders In the civiliza tion of the world, and throughout Japan we all admire them for these sterling qualities." Foreign. Delegates from several Latin-American countries opposed the American proposition at the Peace Conference relative to the collection of pecuni ary debts. Dr. Drago maintains that the American proposition does not embody his doctrine.
