Asked his impression of the policy pursued toward China by the present government which replaced that in which he served as foreign minister, Baron Shidehara replied that he was still in doubt what the government's policy actually was. “When the dispatch of troops to Shantung took place,” he said, “I put a question to the government request- ing to know whether that act was a demonstration of a ‘strong’ policy which, we had been led to believe, the govern- ment was preparing to adopt. “But the government spokesman denled this. He said the troops had been sent only to protect lives and prop- | erty of Japanese. What the govern- | ment’s policy, if policy at all, has been it 15 difficult to say.” In connection with the importance | o Japan of developing friendly rela-| tions with China, Baron Shidehara | pointed ovt that Japan's trade with| her neighbor was capable of very great | increase once the anti-Japanese move- | ment ceased and China settled down| to peaceful development. “At the present,” he explained, “our trade with China is only from 20 to 30 per cent of our total foreign trade. It is not as important to us, therefore, a8 our trade with the United States, which takes a much greater proportion of our exports. Yet the China trade is capable of great extension, and were China to buy more of our goods our present industrial depression would come to an end.” Baron Shidehara denied that there was any such thing as a “Manchurian problem.” That term, he said, is a misnomer, There was no desire on the part of Japan to prevent Man- churia from joining the Nationalist government or remaining under it Japan's interests in Manchuria are purely economic and based on treaty | rights. Insist on Treaty Rights. “All Japan desires and insists upon,” he added, “is that these treaty rights be maintained, whether they involve the leasehold of Port Arthur and Dairen, the control of the South Man- churia Railroad or anything eise gua) anteed by compact between Japan and China. “With respect to this all classes of the population in Japan are in abso-| lute agreement. But this. in my opin- fon and in the opinion of most other Japenese, does not in any way involve anything hurtful to legitimate Chinese ! interests.” | With respect to Japan's relations with the United States, Baron Shidehara said these were perfectly cordial “There was a time, shortly after the war,” he remarked, “when as a re- sult. of Chinese propaganda in the United States and the activities of acaremongers, the situation between the countries might have been termed eritical. Then came the Washington conference. “I know that Secretary Hughes Mimself was not certain at the begin- ning that it would have so favorable an outcome, But it did. The tension was broken. Later, at the time of the earthquake, the great generosity, kindliness and sympathy displayed by the people of the United States made a profound improssion upon us, And it was because of this impression that the difficulties over the immigration problem were not as serious as they might have been. “We hope that some day the action then taken will be modified in the interests of our common friendship, TPor us it is not a question of the volume of Japanese who are to be permitted to emigrate to the United States. It is only a question of being aingled out and receiving an invidious distinction. That is the only difference which divides us now. When it is wiped out our nations, already cordial, will approaeh an even finer stage in thelr relations, as fine as in the days ®f Townsend Harris." €Onpvright, 1929, by Newspaper Alliance.)
