It belleves it 1s nat- ural for Japan to take such measures as she deems necessary in order to maintain peace and order. The whole tone of the Srenn comment is not belligerent or indignant, as it would have been a decade ago, but is rather regretful, that this subject has arisen and is insistent that Japan must act as Japan thinks best and not in ac- cordance with advice from other na- tions, DIMINUTIVE MOTORIST.
