Text of Interview. ,
(By H. Let Clotworthy. United Press
' correspondent) ; 'i
Toklo, Oct 24. Marquis Katsura,
prime minister of Japan, today gave
me a private audience, and officially
gave to the people of the United States
through the United Press, the warm
est 'expression of good will and the
most , definite and explanatory state
ment of Japan's policy ever made by
an official in authority. He declared
American occupation of the Philip
pines a great benefit to civilization,
marking one of the most important
steps In the advancement of the east.
The interest of Japan and America
in the Far Est are identical. Both
are seeking "to advance civilization.
The marquis said: .
He ' most heartily . endorsed the
speech of Viscount Kaneko yesterday
In which he said Japan welcomes the
American fleet to the Pacific because
It will be a great power for peace, and
will relieve Japan of the arduous and
expensive burden of maintaining a
fleet great enough to police the waters
and Insure continuance, of paclflo re
lations and tlie preservation of the 'in
tegrity, of China the aim of both
countries. This can be easily accom

countries without imposing a burden
upon either, ',' s " '
Surplus Population a Problem.
The only thought seriously confront
ing Japan Is the disposition of the
suVplus population. This Is the one
thought of the government. Japan
disapproves pf emigration to America.
Japan's aim is to complete the coir
