NO INCURABLE QUARREL

JAPANESE RELATIONS WITH AMERICA ! MR. HANIHARA'S HOPE. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CACL'E ASSOCIATION.) (Received 19th June, 9 a.m.) ' NEW YORK, 18th June. Japan, in her dealing with the United States, has always believed that between friends there should be no question incapable of amicable adjustment, said the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Hanihara, in a speech at Brown University, at Providence, Rhode Island, in acknowledging the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws. The great question in the minds of the Japanese was'whether it was the true sentiment of the American people to make light of its friendship with the p-eople of Japan, built up by hard and conscientious labour on the part of both peoples. The Ambassador did not mention specifically . the immigration law. He expressed the hope that the friendship might survive, and said he believed it would if the countries remained true to the worthy traditions, embodying the great human spirit of mutual toleration and esteem. Japan had' always felt, and still felt, that she owed America a lasting debt of latitude. ■
