Paris, April 2—(By The A. P.) Ba- yon Makino, head of the Japanese del- egation to the peace conference, in a statement to The Associated Press to- day on the position of Japan, said: “You ask me for a plain and frank statement of the position of Japan. Well, I am tempted to ask you a ques- tion in reply. “Do you think it possible for me to say anything that will not be wilfully distorted and misinterpreted by those who have so long and so persistently sought to clog the efforts of my coun- try to ascribe to her motives she has never had and to malign her at every turn? Let us see. 'As to the United States, Japan has a very sincere, abiding and affection- ate regard. We owe to her our place in the world, that is to say, the civil- ized world. Perhaps I should not al- together agree to that phrase, because vou know and everyone should know, hat Japan bhas enjoyed a civilization her own for many ages, It a ilization born of the highest sense honor, of the sense which the west could not understand nor appreciate because we had lived apart as a hermit nation When, tl Commodore Townsend cons f1m ambitio civilization which we better, expedition of nd the efforts of (the first American Japan), we joined, league of nations! 0ok o A the Har sneral say world, 4 whic to th a was to of the western nat had studied and recogniz although not all were onorable than our own You note here th the first count a treaty with us abolisk y.

Bonds Are Oversubscribed War Finance Corporation’s $200,000,000 Wls Ab- sorbed In One Day. Washington, April The War Fmance “Corporation’s offering of | $200,000,000 of five per cent. one year bonds has been oversubscribed, al- though the books were opened only to- day. Reports received at the treasury from nine federal reserve banks show- ed a total considerably in excess of the amount offered, with other subscrip- tions still to be compiled. Banks especially were said to h ave| been eager to obtain the new issue, | because of the attractive interest rate three-quarters of one per cent. higher: than the fourth Liberty issue, and the greater exemptions from taxation. icials predicted when the orrenngi . announced that it would be ab- ! sorbed uickly, but were surprised at' the actual showing. It was considered by officials as_an indication that the forthcoming Victory Liberty loan would meet with similar favor. an’s Position on the Proposed ations—Believes the Principle ‘We want to consider with tne greatest care the interests of all our associate nat.ns in such a league, because by no other policy can the league of na- tions succeed. No Asiatic nation could be happy in a league of nations in which sh: T 1 discrimination ‘While we feel very keenly on this point, our precise position must not be misunderstood nor misrepresented. “We are not too proud to fizht, but we are too proud to accept a place of | admitted inferiority in uealing wiln one or more associate nations. We want nothing but simple justice. We are glad to join the league of nations and do our full s! e in the mainte- nance of the world’s peace and order and the reign of justice for all peoples. “We do not wish to impose our la- boring classes as immigr upon any of our associate countries. We recog- nize that, this question is one with which each nation must deal individ- ually and we have voluntarily shown our good faith by our observance of the so-called gentlemen’s agreement with the United States and this notwith- standing that the principle is in di- rect contravention of the measures adopted by the western powers in forcing the door of our hermit king- dom. ‘We do not object to the proviso ested by Elihu Root safeguarding country on the subject of internal tration. His proposition ap- alike to all countries. We want no special privileges. “What we do say and feel is that we are entitled to a f 1d open ad- , with whom we fight for a free ind civilized world and besid sons our men have died, that the pr ciple of equity and justice is a funda- mental tenet of the league. This ap- plies, of course, only to the conduct of government and cannot rn the likes or dislikes, even the tastes, of in- dividuals, which are their own. | “We see difficulties in the way of a permanent and successful operation of this league of nations unless the con- tracting parties enter it with mutual respect. Marriages of convenience too | often breed distrust and discord, ther than contentment.” BUSINESS CONDITIONS SHOW IMPROVEMENT. ‘Washington, April 2.—Improvement in general business conditions and the continuance of an undertone of confidence in the essentia' strength and soundness of the country’s eco- nomic position was reported today in the federal reserve board’s review of the business tuation toward the end of March. In all federal reserve district: price situation was said to be controlling factor in business tions and outlook. While the actual situation had not changed very fun- damentally, symptoms were reported pointing to a more complete readjust- ment of business to normal condi- tions. A continuous, though mod- erate decline of prices was noted. Bqually important the decline prices, it was said, has been the that the public at large has appar given up expectations of immed nes.” 2 sity of conditions was found to exist in the manufacturing field, with unsettlement particularly in | cotton manufacturing and iron and| steel the 1 the condi- in! ract | ntly and w Manufacturing of eported froma review said, most norn ay buyi price “Woole ed its to_impr “The mobiles be brisk of mat boots arious dis: their busine; nd in groc wh sed 1 y.
