SOLID WITH ALLIES
InfreNted in Heeing Itlght and Jus
tice In Far Fast; Disclaim They
Are Lover of War
Toklo, July i. Japan occupied at
the peace conference a special posi
tion she was disinterested In tfee
problem concerned with the Occi
dent, but greatly Interested in the
questions bound up with the Far
Bat Takaabi Ham, the orrme mte-
teter, has told the editor of a French
magazine published at Toklo. .The
premier aaid:
"Japan went to the peace confer
ence with the desire to tiie. an ac
tive part In its work and to partici
pate in oil question that might
arise. Why? Because Japan Is sin
cerely attached to the cause of tight
and justice. She has proved it fey
closely cooperating with the allies
and by subscribing without reserve
to the fourteen propositions of Pres
ident Wilson; she never hesitated to
ioln with the promoters' of ' the
league of nations.
"Like the French, English and
American people, we wish a perma
nent peace, 'better and more open re
lation between nations, a happier
humanity. lAnd we believe we are
in a good position to judge things
from the point of view of ustace and
right because we had fewer interests
under discussion than Europe and
the United State. Our attitude to
im partial and our delegates at Pari
showed the good faith, sincerity and
openness of our politics.
"However, violent criticism hare
been addressed to us. Japan has
been represented aa an ambitious.
war-loving, aggressive nation. The
proceeding cabinet Buffered the same
accusations which were not merited.
I can assure yon my government is
doing it best not to cause discon
tent; to disregard proceeding which
might be thought to bear a repre
hensive character. Tfee peace con
ference haa given us an occasion to
show we were not guilty of what
had been reproached to us."
