SMALL. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW' YORK. September 5.—Look- | ing for the rainbow in the midst of catastrophe, the influential Japanese {1n this city today declared they were | convinced that in thelr present terror {and in their future bid for renewed | existence the Japanese people will be { brought closer to the other peoples 1of the world than ever otherwise | would have been the case. With all sugsgestion of imperialistic tendency swallowed up In the work of civic reconstruction which lies !ahead, a new Japan may arise, carry- ling with her the lasting friendship jand sympathy of the other nations. .{The offers of aid to Japan. reported {at the imperial consulate here, show | that no country has been too small or | too thoughtless to extend a hand of { fellowship and of succor. Even soviet | Russia, unrecognized among the mod- {ern peoples, has sent a substantial offer of aid. i Cause of Suspicion. The Japanese in the United States have been. conscious of a loss of sympathy. not only in this country {but among other white peaples of the {Blobe. They attributed this largely to anti-Japanese propaganda which |has pictured Japan as the leading |force in a movement for the amalga- mation of the vellow races into an {alliance which would threaten white supremacy in world affairs. Japan | has been accused of reaching out to {grasp all of China and of sending for the white leaders of that vast and uneasy empire. All of this propa- ganda, the Japanese say, has tended to create suspicion among the western people over every move that Japan might make. The Japanese have re- mained more or less silent under the charges because silence is a Japanese trait. They have been measuring the | consequences, however, not merely in {possible losses of trade, but in social {and moral prestige. Japan has been striving to hold her place among the first-class powers of the worlg ever since the war with Russia gave her a claim to «uch rank. Her alliance with Great Britain fol- lowed and it was a cheriched thing in {Japan. Walking step by tep with the i vhite nations was es- lished for all time Japan was ck to follow her ally England vith a declaration of war against |Germany. despite the fact that Ger- many and Japan always had been on very friendly terms and the Germans had haq much to do with building up the Japanese army. The European al- lies called upon Japan for very little ssistal The Japanese, of course, took Shantung from the Germans im- iiately. but hav turned 1 China, in_compllance with promises made at Versailles. Wanted to Send Troops. Japan desired to send troops to the western fighting front in France. fur- {ther to cement her ties 1B ship with the | i tain. but the allies had unfortunate in the fleld. ang the Japanese were thanked. but their offer was declined. fp_After the war Japan felt herself slip- ping a bit as a power. There was agi- {tation in Great Britain for an znnul- ment of the Japanese treaty of allianc orthcliffe was one of the powe lish_influences at work in_that Japan was pictured in Great power Ifkely s and it aid England did not care to run risk of beinz brought into any such | versy. The Japanese eved the Washington arms conference with the | gravest suspicion. But in that confer- ience, in the end, she won a place of jccmplete supremacy in the far east, {and her fears of loss of prestige were {allayed. | Now in the disaster which has over- {whelmed her, Japan finds the sympathy of the world welling up to her in waves | {of warmest friendship. The Japanese {once more are a struggling people, and ;in their struggle they expect to win \again the admiration of the world and ito find a means of greater and firmer i urderstanding. i Yellow Peril Fear. Much has been said of the vellow peril in the United States, but there lare only about 112.000 Japanese in {the entire country. The Japanese have been a problem on the Pacific coast, however, because of the total in this country about 95,000 are in the three Pacific states of Washington, Oregon and California. Los Angeles is the greatest Ameri- lcan Japanese city, with 11.618 Nip- ponese inhabitanis. San Francisco and Oakland have a combined popu- lation of about 8,000. Seattle, how- ever, is the second Japa with 7874 residents. New York has but about 2,500 Japanese residents. but influential through the presence of so many financial and business repre- sentatives of the island kingdom.
