FRIENDLY VISIT.
BY JAPANESE DELEGATION. HAS ONLY GOODWILL FOR AUSTRALIA. PROMOTERS OF TRADE. [By Electric Cable —Copyright]. [Aust. and N.Z, Cable Association.] (Received Monday, 8.5 p.m.) BRISBANE, Aug. 6. A Japanese delegation, under Count Yoshii, composed of six members of the House of Peers, has arrived here with the object of observing social and economic conditions, and to encourage friendly feelings, and indirectly to promote trade. Count Yoshii declared Japan had the very best feeling fot Australia. Efforts made to stir up bad feeling were entirely wrong. Japan was for peace brotherhood and goodwill.
Count Yoshii, leader of the Japanese Parliamentary party, scouted the suggestion that friction was likely to occur between Australia and Japan. He said the idea that Japan’s eyes were on Australia was all nonsense.
