Popular disapproval of tho proposal of Secro- iary of State Knox of the United States to neutralize tho Manchurinn railways has reached a high pitch in v -'o. and much pressuro is being brought to bear upon tho government todov for its rejection. Jnpaueso statesmen and diplomats apparently nro a unit against tho plan and characterize it as a "high-hand ed assumption of dictatorial power,1 ., Mm iinri n fliA United States." m-,, unA f thn nmn-r-ifcoj"8 slvo party, is loudest in the denun ciations. I Tho nqtion of England in indors ing "Knox's proposal apparently has mndo little difference in the attitude of the Japanese officials. They un hesitatingly declare the secretary's tnovo to bo an unroasounblo interfer ence in tlio nUiura or tao cast anil brand it as "misguided American dip'omnoy." - irnny newspapers have professed not to be able to understand the real motive of the United States in au thorizing it.

It is felt in tnnnv nnnrfors thnt Hw resentment in Japan growing out of. thiif incident merely has been slum- herim? and that tho misunderstandin? between the two powers, caused by it. has grown to alarming propor tions.
