' I : i1 "they . always draw us as going about like a footpad looking for land we can snatch like a purse from some unwary or unable nation. There was. never anything so preposterous. " To a'riy one who may wish to know the trUth.Uhere. Is one suro key to thf situation. Let such a one always re member that Japan has not a terri torial ambition. No matter what may be the. misrepresentation about this, 1 Jrf'pan has not a territorial ambition, j We have no desire to encroach upon , tfte (territory of any other nation vi hatsoever; no desire, no such pur ' pose. What, we do want and all wei rwant Is to etcure our economic ex istence, and Ibis we cAn do without in any way threatening the security of ny other natic" in Oils world. If that fact couliT be understood by western peoples what an Immense amount of misconception about Japan would be wcpt away. "Next, we knpv that we can secure ur economic existence only by de- veolping our honie' Industries, bu promoting our, tforeign trade and friendships, but never by antagoniz ingother peoples. i That Beenis simple and obvious enough,' but you must hate noticed that it Is entirely dis regarded by the critics of .lupan." I said that it 1 knew anything about the Japanese press thero were nt lacking In my friend's country an element of jingoes and some that srenied to like the-music of the war drum. Jingol.sLs livery whom ' Why, of course," says he, "every naqon has them, Japan with the rest. Bui they do not mould nor in an)! wal affect Japan's national policy notl in the slightest degroe. In no othlr country are the utterances of a fjw extremists or alarmists taken to .k press the real attitude of the na tioiland I do not think it should be so ith Japan.' The truth is we are mo.' strangely and persiBtontly ma lign d. Did you ever see that list of scai i stories that George Kennan collated and exposed a few years ago'l -Twenty-two of them, all most alaralng, all widely circulated in the Unltid States, all absolutely untrue They range from the Magdalena Bay sen re to the story about Japanese spies pn the .Panama canal, waiting for a chance to blow It up. The lm aginative ingenuity of these stories is amazing but not so amazing as the luct tinat mey are oeneveu wiinoui the least Investigation." ' I referred to the .belief un' ersal among, the Americana in the Phil i)i pines that Japan you Id Boize the Is lands as soon ns; the Americans should,' withdraw. i "Wild stories!" fald Mr. Haniharl. "I can most posit voly and emphat ically declare to you that Japan has no aggressive designs on the Philip pines, latent, covert, open, deferred up Its sleeve or otherwise. This story 1b of a piece with the rest. The Jap anese policy is neighborliness, good will and trade, Ho you think we are a, nation of InnntWs that we want to go about provoking the rows that "would kill the foreign commerce by which we live?" "Well," r said) ('there is Korea. Many persons thihk you have been intolerably brutal to the Koreans.' "Korea," says lie. "Well, anybody who goes there can see we have been ot immense bene it to the Koreans. Wo have transformed their country for them and maie It prosperous and Inhabitable. Thire may have been errors of com mission and omission. as In the colonies of other countries, but to err is human and through It all we have tried to do our best. If anyone-can show 'us where we can do better we shall listen to the ad vice and be thankful for It.

He said: "If there Is any cloud between these peoples It Is duo to false re ports and misrepresentation and the greatest need of the moment is to bring about a better understanding between America and Japan, for which all good people on both sides should do their utmost. Statesmen, politicians, business men, army and navy men, the press all thinking Japanese simply want to live on the best of terms with America. I can categorically declure that nil the charges on which Japan Is held up as a menace to the world are absolutely groundless, Imaginary and chimeri cal. I wish we could get that homo as the real message of the real Japan t the real America." ' TALENTED BABY AT 18 i'Vj (By International News Service.) NEW YORK. June 10. A tcu-year-old musicil prodigy lives in Wood Itidgc, New Jersey, just across tho Hud son. The child is Graco Sharp Cas- tagnctta, a daugh ter of American parents. Des p i t e her extraordinary talent for music, Grace 1b a very hu man little giii"with every normal char acteristic of hun d r e d s of other ' Gra cvtifntti American children. At the ago of fifteen months Grace found her way to tho piano. At first she just liked the sound of the scpar ate notes that her baby fingers touch ed as they trailed over the pretty key board. Very soon she discovered the beauty that lies In tho weaving of chords. And at that tender age, with out knowledge of music, for her par ents could not piny the piano, the child worked out for herself her own idea of music. Her ear delicately at tuned to harmony, the baby was nblo to harmonize In ono octave. At the nge of three little Grace was playing in concert. When sho was seven years old Grace attracted tho attention of Dr. N. J. Elscnheimor, who gave her her first lessons. Tho lessons have con tinued now for three yours, in which time she has given three recitals of her own. At each recital tho littlo artist rendored works of tho masters, such ns selections from Liszt, Grelg. Pnradtsi, Debussy, MacDowoll and Schumann; sonatna. from lleethovon Scarlatti and Mozart, as well us Uach's English Suites. I L FALL RIVER, Mass., June 9.
