BREAK AVERTED
PACIFIC CONFERENCE JAPANESE ADMISSIONS YOSEMITE, Aug. 25. The tension among the delegates to the conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations was materially lessened to-day, when at a special plenary session, the Japanese delegation took a more conciliatory attitude towards the criticism of the Japanese empire policies. Mr. K. Yoshizawa, as the delegation's spokesman, frankly admitted that "mistakes have been made" in Japan's Chinese poliey since the Manchurian incident of 1931. He enlarged to a considerable extent, however, on the "mistakes" that the Nanking Government made prior to this date, and ended with a plea for a better understanding between the two Asiatic countries. The new Japanese attitude gave encouragement to the delegates, who feared a break between Japan and the other nations represented, and the discussions were continued in a much more friendly atmosphere.
