TO LECTURE ON JAPAN.
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
