JAPAN AND AMERICA'

NO CONFLICT OF INTERESTS. c By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received June 2, 9.50 a.m. ) NEW YORK, May 20. The Washington correspondent of the Now York Times had an interview with Baron Goto, who, speaking as a private individual, said: “1 do not believe there is a serious conflict of interests between Japan and the United States'. _ Whatever misunderstanding may exist can be cleared away by the leading men of both countries. I think the Japanese Government thinks the Anglo-Japanese alliance should be continued for the preservation of peace in the Far East. At present conditions in eastern Russia constitute a danger to the peace of the Far East. The League of Covenant may ho imperfect .but I think if the nations sincerely observe its provisions the peoples of the world will derive much good. Japan undoubtedly will observe the provisions of the Cov-enant.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
