NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Professor Sakayei Takahashi, one of the seven professors of Japan whose opinion on public matters have more or less weights in Japan .arrived in New York yesterday after a visit through the southwest and south of Europe. He will remain here for some months, his idea being to lecture to Ameri cans on Japan and and on his return to his own country to teach American methods of his fellow countrymen. Professor Takahashi derides the idea that there is any possibility of war between the United States and Japan. In an interview he said: "I find that the American people are for peace. I am positive that war between this country and Japan will never come. The two nations could not afford to fight because it would be detrimental to their interests. I find that the only war talk is in the United States. One hears nothing of it in the empire of Japan; we don't even think of such a thing. Every where I learn from my observations the educated people of this country ire very friendly toward Japan. Ap parently only the hoodlums are try. ing to create trouble. But we have the utmost confidence in President Roosevelt As for the sailing of the American fleet for the Pacific Coast, I learned before leaving the coast that the Japanese of California were preparing a celebraion in honor of the fleet on its arrival. Nor did we in Japad regard the movement of the fleet as an indication of violence. And JUST RECEIVED a fresh shipment of Lowncy's Candies Pound Boxes 50c and up.
