KEEPING PEACE.
THE DESIRE OF JAPAN. AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP. BARRIER TO WAR. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 5, 8.10 p.m. Tokio, July 4. It is announced that Cabinet has approved the Genend Staff’s suggestion for a reduction of the standing army by 56.000 men. Baron Kato (the Premier), welcoming Mr. Edwin Denby (United States Secretary of the Navy), said: “We are not only willing but anxious to maintain and constantly develop unbroken friendship between Japan and the United States. We ought to be able, in cooperation with the leading nations of the world, to maintain far into the future the peace that now rests on the seas, and if we succeed in this it must follow that peace on land '.'ill generally be preserved.” Mr. Denby expressed America’s indebtedness for the great work Japan did at the .Vashington Conference. He expressed the earnest hope and belief that the relative strength of the Japanese and American navies would remain the subject of academic discussion and never a practical question to be settled at the cannon’s mouth.—Aus.-N.Z.
