HARVARD PAPER HAS JAP WRITER Ambassador Shidehara Tells of| Naval Armament | Mass,, What« armament Hmita- tion of naval armament ought to a Binple Ambassador Shidehara of Japan, one Cambridge, Nov, 8. ever the problems of the sreement for conference, an ¢ “comparatively matter,” says of that country's delegates, writing in the current issue of the lHarvard | Crimson. The ambassador his state- ment on the conclusion that the war left only three great naval power each on a different continent and with “none of the real interests of one conflicting vitally with the others.” At the same time the ambassador takes opportunity to outline Japan's| case at the arms conference, her re-| lation to China and the far eastern | situation, as well as her place in the world. He writes: “The Japancse delegation come to the Washington conference «confident that the nations mbled there will achicve a substantial measure of suc- cess and that valuable understandings will result, enabling the scveral prin- cipal nations to live in future with less suspicion and distrust, and con- | sequent armament. This is the leas that can be expected. But we Japan- ese are hoping that, as President Harding said at Yorktown on October 19, ‘The time has come when there must he recognition of essential co- operation among nations, devoted each of them, in its own peculiar na- tional way, to the common good, the the advancement of all hu- Japanese are primarily s America is, with a limita- armament, and it is on this matter that I speak with confi- dence. What ag ments can b reached for the limitation of Ia forces is more difficult for me to cs timate. Tut far as the seas are concerned an agreement ought to he a comparatively simple matter for the obvious reason that there are Lnt three great naval powers left m the world and that each of them be- longs to a different. continent separ- ated from the others by a great ocean, and with none of the real intere of one conflicting vitally with the others. ITor these reasons it scems to me that only a most arbitrary at- titude on the part of one or an- other country can defeat the main purpose of the conference, and none will be arbitrary, for the peoples as well as the go nments of all three mist earnestly desire agreement, “There is an unofficial, T might say, public, American point of view that any agreement must be contingent upon a settlement of Far I3 problems, and to some those problems seem greatly involved and fraught with possibilities of grave danger. Tt is hardly within my prov- fnce as the representative of another government to point out to any Am- ericans how needless is this alarm, but as your president has invited us to an open and frank discussion, and as the “Crimson” has left me free to say what I will, T am sure it will not be taken amiss if T point out the fal- lacy of such contentions as have been Jaunched in the United States by the doubters and by the comparatively few actual enemies of an understand- ing. “Intelligent and wei naval men in every coun the great war left the United States proper absolutely unassailabla.

No one realized more clear ly than the Japan 2 themselves that project is utterly unattiin able. “In should the first come in place, we ‘lnp.ln(‘:u‘ conflict with the| several Buropean nations that hold established positions in Chinn, Wi should then be required to dominate, control, and ultimately organize the Chinese. This would be an achieve ment such as no country has yet been or will ever be able to accomplish Human nature isn't that way; @ ject race is generally a gre den than help in time of Japan is not looking for wa ¢, is willing to pe and believes that be not only morally sub- | ter bur- | war; and | apan a price| that price will but profitably paid. “But from China we Japanese be- lieve we have a right to ask the priv- ileges of equal opportunity and the open door. We are not so richly en- dowed as America with wealth, terri- tory, and raw mater! Here you have everything. You are self-sus- taining. But we re like the DBrit- ish Isles. We have a population ap- proximately, of sixty millions, with territory the > of one of your me- dlum-sized states. Our supplics of raw materials must come i{rom abroad, and the markets for the goods we manufacture must likewise be foreign countr: Without sup- plies from over the s and without markets at the ends of our steam- ship lines, we cannot live. The neighboring undeveloped Asfatic mainland has an abundance of the necessary raw materials and also af- fords an important ma t. We de- sire the rights and privileges of trading on this mainland on cqual terms with any nation, near or re mote; and in turn we are willing that any other nation shall enjoy, in fair competition, equal rights with ourselves. There trade for all in these vast territories, more extensive| and probably as richly endowed as the United States. “But here is an interesting point: To the United States the mat and trade of the Asiatic main 1 are only a source of added wealth, while to Japan they are a necessity of existence, We ask only an ap- plication of the policy to live and let live. “In this connection let me sfate some facts with regard to Shan- tung—which Japan has been chi ed with taking from China. When it | became part of Japan’s obligation in the late war to drive Germany out of that area, she uned only part of the rights which that country held in Shantung. The le; 1 terri- tory of IKlaochow, which the Jap- anese captured from the German garrison, contained not forty million people (which is the estimated popu- lation of the Province) but fifty or sixty thousand, most of whom had gathered there to trade with the Ger- mans and continued to reside there and trade with the Japanese. The leased territory of Kiaochow covers about 200 square miles, less than half | three | in the [ thw | sented in a xmw I'rovinee Japan promised ow territory to her; Chinn that she ore 1 turn the anog nd ¢ » offered to share with bsolutely fair and cqual tooting well as thit the German which has come to her hands | the war, China wgrecd Lo aceept this arrange 1ing that alone by her action in entering the the Ger- man rights naturally reverted to her But China's entry into the after the ress had bheen reduced by a army [ “The Japancse soldiers that took | inglao have long evacuated the | Provinee wjith the exception of two | thousand men, who remain to guard the railway line and the port. This is a force less.in size than one-half | of that which the great Powers, in- cluding the United States, maintain province of Chili to line from I'cking and to guard the legations capital, Moreover, the concessions obtained by the Germans for future raflway construction in Shantung are to be transferred to the International Consortium composed of American, British and French, Japanese and Belbium financial groups, supported by their govern- ments, “Thus, it che »of of Japan ir ubstance us in name, rallway In consec ience of has not ment, conte wilr war was German fort years the const rallway to the will be seen that the i sions’ on the part itung has heen pre conspicuously unfair light. “It is the hope of Japan that the Washington Conference will give her the opportunity to dispel whatever distrust and suspicion may exist in America against her. She hope to demonstrate conclusively the neces- sitles of her position and the justice | of her policies, in order that falsc charges against her may find no hon- est response in the future. Where she may be wrong she will strive to mend her ways. Consideration in- stead of condemnation, co-operation tnstead of confllet—would profitably as well as righteously be the slog of the nations hereafter. “There is one point of warning I should like to make in conclusion. Naval limitation is the principal ob- jective of the Conference, Naval lim- ftation means not’ only an agreement among the Powers but tremendous example to others and an influence in favor of the settlement, of all controversies by peaceful pro- cesses in the future. Neither by fail- | ure to keep this®objective constantly in view nor by letting critics and op ponents subtly befog and obseure the main issues of the Conference should the chief delegates permit their noble —and attainable—purposes to be de- feated.
