" NEW YORK, December 13.—The London Naval Conference, Ambassador Dubuchi of Japan said last night, has produced a reduction in taxation bur- dens in signatory nations as well as ::vn(thmed mutual trust between em. In touching on China, & nation of “There are well melntn’ le who despair of the prospects of China’s sta- bilization by her own efforts and hasten to the rash conclusion that joint inter- national action is the only means of re peace and order to that dis: country.

The world-wide depression in busi- ness and cheapness of silver and not China’s political chaos were given as the chief reason for her economic ills. “It is mutually gratifying that Japan and the United States are not rivals in the economic field of China,” he said. “On the contrary, they have a common and harmonious role to play to the benefit of all three countries con- cerned.” Pays Tribute to Castle. The Japanese Ambassador paid trib- ute to the statesmanship of his friend, William R. Castle, the Assistant Secre- tary of State, particularly for his serv- fce as American Ambassador at Toklo during the important period of the London Conference. Ambassador Debuchi emphasized his appreciation of Mr. Castle's sympa- thetic and friendly insight into the na- tional cheracteristics of the Japanese people and their” peculiar position in the Far East. M. Debuchi particularly ecommended Mr. Castle’s candor in ex- pressing his opinion on what he ob- served. The Ambassador then discussed the London naval treaty and the situation in China in the following words: “As regards the London naval treaty, the responsibile suthorities Japan have already fully declared to the world the viewpoint of my country, so that it would be superfluous for me to into & detailed discussion. I should [l‘!’(e, however, to say just a few words on this subject. When we consider all the. difficulties and complications the London Conference had to grapple with, we may well congratulate it upgn what it has accomplished. It has defi- nitely put an end to competitive build- ing among the three major sea-powers, as fact obvious to every one, but we are apt to forget that so vast a country, m once thrown into chaos and dis- order by a sudden change in its govern- mental system, must require long, long years to regain its stability. In the period of China's struggle the. foreign nations, and particularly its immediate neighbors, are apt to suffer. The loss of foreign lives and property and the detriment to forelgn trade, such as we have witnessed in China, are of course deplorable, but we must endure them all with patience and tolerance, for they are inevitable concomitants of the strug- gle for internal readjustment now going on in China. “Down, But Never Out.” “China is & nation extraordinary— extraordinary in her elasticity, in her capacity to resist and recover from ad- versity. In her long history of unnum- bered centuries she has been down & good many times, but she has never been out. Always she found her own salvation in her own way. We out- siders are too prone to think that China must be put on her feet by means which we think best, but the means we think best is not always the means China | thinks best for herself. Our only desire |is that China, ‘in warking out her own salvation, shall proceed by steady and | measured steps. “It has been said that the present unsatisfactory condition of China’s for- | eign trade is due to her political chaos. |1 do not deny that political conditions have a vital bearing upon trade, but it is well to remember t China's eco- nomic ills at present are due to two causes which are quite apart from her civil war. The first of these is, of course, the general effect of the world-wide de- | pression now affecting all countries. | The second is the sharp decline in the price of silver, which directly. touches China, as you know.
