TROUBLESOME NEIGHBOURS. TOKYO, May 18. Japanese newspapers guardedly welcome Mr. Roosevelt's proposals for strengthening the structure of world peace. However, they point out the possibilities of "disorderly countries intolerably menacing the vital interests and security of neighbeuring nations." These remarks refer to China, whose "ineffective and irresponsible Government," the papers say,' caused the present situation and compelled Japan to have recourse to arms in order to protect her interests.
