PRINCETON, N. J., April 23.—The use of the American Navy to convoy vessels carrying war materials to Brit-
ain is opposed at this time b viewed throughout the coun opinion survev. If, however, it appears certain that Britain will be defeated unless our Navy is used for convoy purposes, a substantial majority of voters say they would then favor the convoy idea. Such is the evidence frecm the survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion, which was begun several days

after the outbreak of the Balkan war The Institute found an enormous public interest in the question throughout the country. Only one person in ten had no opinion about the use of American convoys The survey put two issues to a vote of the people. One was “Should the U. S. Navy be used to guard ships carrying war terials to Britain? The result: Navy should be used to conNavy should not be used to convoy Undecided

MATSUOKA TRIP 10 0, S. HINTED
If Japan Really Wants to Avert Pacific War, He Will Be Welcome.
Times Special WASHINGTON, April 23. —Yosuke Matsuoka, Japanese Foreign Minister, who returned to Tokyo vesterday from Moscow, Berlin and Rome, may next visit the United States, according to reports from the Far East. The purpose for which influential Japanese are said to be urging him to make the journey is to avert a crisis in the Pacific and a possible war between this country and Japan. The White House and State Department, quite naturally, are silent State visits just don't happen that way. But this much can be said. Should Mr. Matsuoka really wish to come to Washington for the purpose stated, 1e would be more thar welcome. No nation ‘is more eager to banish the specter of war from the Pacific than the United States. Privately, however, officials express the opinion that the Japanese Foreign Minister will delay his journey for the time being. The reason for that opinion is the steady deterioration of American-Japanese relations since Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The United States, officials here observe, would like nothing better than to be on the most cordial terms with Japan. There is no natural reason, they say, why the two coun-| tries should clash. On the contrary they should co-operate. Normally, she buys our cotton, we buy her silk She buys our steel, we buy her toys. She buys our gas and automobiles, we buy her porcelains and a thousand other things. If there is conflict of policy today. it is due solely to something artificial —to the am-| bitions of a military clique bent on! cornering all Eastern Asia and the South Pacific for Japan's own exclusive use. If Mr. Matsuoka wants to come to Washington, it is said, to engage in conversations in the spirit of live-and-let-live, he can rest assured, in| advance, that his trip will meet with great success
