JAPAN AND CHINA.
PROPOSALS JUSTIFIED.
NOT SEEKING MONOPOLY.
(Received April 6. 2 a.in )
London, April 3.
A Reuter's message states that Tokio reports that the Japanese Prime Minister, Count Okuma, in an interview, said the negotiations with Pekin were progressing favourably. It was not true that China was endeavouring to unduly delay a settlement. The false impression abroad regarding tho negotiations was due to German agitators. Japan's proposals, continued Count Okuma, were in complete accordance with the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and other treaties guaranteeing equal opportunity and integrity to China. Japan was not seeking a monopoly nor demanding the appointment of Japanese advisers, neither was she seeking to establish a protectorate. Japan was only asking in Shantung what China had granted to Germany.
