Manner in Which Viscount Ishii Was
Received in I'nited States Pleasing
to People of Empire.
Tokio, Oct. 5. The cordial recep-
tion given to Viscount l-hii in the
United States caused a favorable im
pression throughout Japan and has
called forth appreciative comment. i
Tne semi-official Japan limes te- :
rards as unprecedented in Japanese
experience in its hearty conF.ility, '
honor and respect paid and in the en
thusiasm of its demonstration. Th"
newspaper adds: "The Embassy'
journey fiom Honolulu to Washing
ton has indeed bten a veritable seri- j
es of royal receptions in the best sense
of the term, in which wa? embodied '
American hospitality and insincerity
on a most generous and majestic :
scale, for which the Americans are
traditionally noted. Al lthis is most
gratifying to Japan and the Japa- ,
nese. Japan and the Japanese can
not but feel ami appreciate most pro- I
foundly the expressions of the cor- I
dialest friendship and of the realty
of war time alliance made through
Viscount Ishii."
