He insisted there was no reason why Japan and Amer- ica- should: be meahie’ to arrive at an understanding on dil ‘goints upon which there is the slight- there were no misunderstandings be- tween the tw» courf€rles. “There has been a great deal of loose and foolish talk about trouble between America and Japan," said Governor Generali Wood. “But , all this is nonsense. I: think I know the American people well, and I am cer- tain that on their. part there is no de- sire and no intention. to dwell in any but the friendliest relations with their neighbors of Japan. The flags of Japan and the United States stood side by side in the great war in the battle for fair dealing between na- of mailer. peoples. They are going to stand together always on the side of right. “Loose and idle reports by irrespon- sible persons have been largely re- Sponsible for this talk of strained re- lations, but our relations are not strained, and are going always to be good. Americans want to build up trade and commerce, but welcome open and fair eompetition. Amer- feans are sure the Japanese ask only There is room enough for all in honorable competition. “It would bo a terrible reflection upon modern civilization if two great peoples like those of Japan and the United States could not» get together around the conference ‘board and set- tle all or nearly all of their difficult- fes. We cannot hide the fact, of course, that great issues. may arise that will challenge all our will and diplomacy to reach a solution, but there seems to be nothing in the present situation between Japan and America justifying even a suspicion of such an issue. No one can visit Japan and go away unfriendly to her. I and my colleagues came here as friends from a friendly country and will leave with even warmer fecl- ings.” Viscount Kaneko, who pres the meeting, predicted that when the Philippines, under Gov. Gen. Wood, reached the same stage of develop- ment that Mr. Wood achieved in ded at Cuba, this country would receive, commercially, a large share of the benefit. By instructions from the emperor, Viscount Kaneko decorated Mr. Wood and W. Cameron Forbes, a former governor general of the Philippines, with the Order of the Rising Sun, first ‘class. Other members of their party were given decorations of a lower order. Gov. Gen. Wood left for Kobe yes- terday to board the cruiser New Or. leans for Manila, where he will be- gin the discharge of bis duties. Upon invitation from Japan, he will visit Formosa en route to faniia.
