SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS PRESIDENT HARDING TURNS HIS BACK IRREVOCABLY ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS United States Does Not Propose To Become Party To Any Such Military Alliance MSTONM DA JAP GOVERNMENT WILL SEND NOTED DIPLOMAT TO DISCUSS WIDE BANOE OF PROBLEMS It Is Understood That the Pacific Problems, In cluding Mandates, California, Immigration and Armaments Will Be Discussed. (By The Associated Tress.) TOKIO, April 11. Plans for sending to Washington u list of distinguished Japanese, who would take up the entire rang? of the' so-called Pacific problems, including iiiiiinlates, California, China, Siberia, immigration ami armaments nre understood to In- in the process nf formulation liy the Japanese govern, ment. Official aniKiunceincnt of tin' intention of the country to send such a delegate, who would act in a capacity similar to that of former Premier Viviani, of Fancp, who is at present In the 1'nileil tttates, has not as yet lieeii made, leit it is sail! that the subject is receiving seri ous attention. The note from Charles K. Hughes American secretary of state, to He- allies, declaring America does not abandon her rights in the peace settlermnt, especially concerning German overseas possessions. ; not only createil a profound iiiipressimi in Japan, but lias serve.l in a.l.lition, to erysuillize the conviction that the tnni lias arrived to bring about a solution of all problems involving Japan and Anur iea before the relations of those conn tries reach a critical stage. Authorities nt the Japanese foreign office confino themselves to a statement to The Associated I'ress that the Hughes noti? is "so important that it is receiving tho most serious consideration from tie Japanese government, which is anxioiw to do everything possible to establish friendly co-operation with the new ad ministration at Washington." It is learned from other influential source) that the opinion prevails among prominent Japanese, especially those fa miliar with the l'nite.1 Slate-, that the general situation has gone so far that it requires heroic treatment to prevent the two nations from further drifting Apart. There is, therefore, an inclina tion to permit the problem invnlv. d in the disposition of the island of Yap sink into comparative unimportance before a discussion of ill the questions ci ntering about the Pacific regarding which Japan and America have serious ilifTcreneos. The plan to send a representative "f the Japanese government t. Washington H not unconnected with the i iitcrnnl sit un lion in this count ry. Jl is understood an influential group is insisting that Jao linese foreign policies be remodelled with Ihe particular view to securing a. settle ment of Pacific problems, and a general understanding, permanent. in nature, with America. The basis of this under utanding would be friendly en operation Attainment of this program may in volve a change in the Japanese niiiiMtrv. Major General Giiuchi Tanaka. minister of war, has already placed his resigna tion in the hands of Premier Hara. It is, apparent the political situation in Japan is complicated by differences over i purely internal questions, in. hiding the1 one relative to the betrothal of tho , irown prince, which came to light re cently, and which seems to not have been i settled in some important aspects. Every thing here, however, tends to show that . the highest circles of the empire are con centrating their attention on relations with America, which resiiniisihle Jap anese opinion declares "must be im proved. ' ' Leading newspapers, in their comment! on the Hughes note, declare it is liable; to place Japan in an embarrassing jiosi-' tion, as the allies may find dilli.nlty in! supporting Japan's claims in Ihe face of insistence upon American demands from Washington. The Yomt-l'ii Shimbun. of this city, w-hich is many times apparently inspired in commenting on international ques tions, emphasizes the delicate nature of the problems discuss d hv th Hughes note. It expresses the opinion that the question of mandates is ''certain to cause an increase of excitement, both in Japan nnd in America, until it becomes a matter of more intense interest th:m either the California or Shantung prob lems. "It mar," the newspaper continues, "force Japan and America to take blind action." "There nrB two ways of preventing' a , possible collision," the article goes on. "First, lo minimize the Tap pmhleiii ;iS technical matter regarding eomniuiiira, tions, and settle it hy mutual comes sions. Second, to magnify it so that it m-i 11 MnMBAn l. .. To. ; fi .. ,1 ...
