The note from Charles 5. Hughes, American secretary of state, to the al- les, declaring that America does not abandon her rights in the peace settle- ment, concerning German ions, not only eaused a profound impression in Japan, but has seryed, in. addition to. erystalize the conviction that the time has ar- rived to bring about a solution of all problems involving Japan and America before the relations of those countries reach a critical stage. Japanese foreign office authorities confine themselves to a statement to The Associated Press that the Hughes note is ‘so important that it is receiy- ing the most serious consideration from the Japanese government, which is anxious to do everything possible to establish friendly co-operation with the new administration in Washington. It is learned from other influential sources that the opinion prevails }among prominent Japanese that the general situation has gone so far that it requires heroic treatment to prevent | the two nations from further drifting |apart. It is understood an influential group is insisting that Japanese foreign pol- icles be remodelled with the particular view to securing a settlement of Pa- cific problems nad a general under- standing, permanent in navure, with America, The basis of this understand- ing would be friendly co-operation. Attainment of this program may in> volye a change in the Japanese min- istry. Maj. Gen.

However, relations with Amer- ica, Japanese high officials openly de- clare, “must be improved." Leading newspapers, in their com- ment on the Hughes note,’ declare tt is liable to place Japan in an embar- réssing position as the allies may find désfficuity in supporting Japan’s claims in the face of insistence upon Ameri- can demands from Washington. = — BODY EN ROUTE TO LANDER.
