Their position appears to be that the president Is unreasonable and Is asking more than he can get. They take the view that the interpretations to the four articles in the covenant which they have pro nosed should be set forth in the resolu tion of ratification, so that It shall be- J t ccme an integral part of the treaty I and that the president is asking too jmn-h when he suggests that the reser vations should not be a part of the resolutions of ratification.

In an inter, view on arriving here, Viscount Iehii, Japanese ambassador to Washington, said that he held an entirely optimistic view in regard to the relations between the united States and Japan. 'He said there was no collision of vital interests between the two countries on any problems, although occasionally propa gandists may talk about a Japtinese American war, which may lead some people to believe that the relations between the two nations are badly atrained.
