HKKHATIONAL STATEMENT THAT |
JAPAN 18 PRKfiARING FOR WAR!
Washington, March 18. ? Most re
markable confirmation of the hostile
attitude of Japan' toward the United
States came today from J. de 8a y
ornln Lolrman, a citizen of Holland,
who has arired In "Washington di
rect from the Japanese Empire.
Following Is Mr. Loh man's thrill
ing statement: *
* "Since my arrival In this country,
I have been surprised at the indiff
erence of the American people to
ward the attitude of Japan. 1 min
gled with all claasea of pfeople in the
different cities of the Japanse Em
pire and everywhere it was the maid
topic of conversation that Japan bat
es America and Americans. They
do not conceal this hatred. They are
possessed of a supreme confidence
that they can crush this nation.
Japanese army officers and army
officers ot foreign nations station
ed In Japan are of one opinion ? that
In a war with tfie United States Ja
pan would win. 'The Japanese hare
tbelr eyee first on the PftHllppmea,
then on Guam, Samoa and Hawaii.
Why? Because ttye Japanese are In
dignant. incensed that this country
should hare placed a ban on Japan
ese immigration. That there la go
ing to be troqble wjth the people ot
the Asiatic countries I fully bellev?.
"There is no doubt in the mind of
any one wb0 lias recently visited Ja
pan that the eountry is * bee hirer ^f
industry in preparation for war.
There is only o*e thought, that this
war must be directed against the Unit
ed Slates."

warning not an alarmist. On the
