TOKIU, March 13
Baron Komura, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs, in a message to the "New York World,"' says he is convinced there is nothing in the relations between Japan and America that need cause real uneasiness. Their Far Eastern interests are not inconsistent or antagonistic. War is inconceivable; it would be a crime without excuse or palliation. "My conviction," J e adds, "finds ample support in the under tanking reached in 1908." The "New York Herald." commenting on Mr Schiff's explanation that he did not mean war, but a struggle for commercial opportunities in China, says:—"in any case the .speech was singularly ill-timed, when all the nations weie co-opera-ting to solidify peace. Japan's offence is apparently net so much conspiring to keep China in vassalage as in herstlf failing to remain in vassalage to the money-lenders.
