Reinh. the Ainrifan niini-ter, J ; a 1 that day delivered to the f'hinM- foreign ofine a communication from Washington retarding the dissensions in China and expressing the desire that tranquility he established. Th' note said that the entry of China into the war or China's continuance of the statu quo were matters of secondary importance and that China's principal necessity was to resume and continue her political entity and proceed along the road to national development The note added that the United States had only the friendliest interest in the Chinese iroverntnent and its per. onnel and desired only to he of service to China. "America expresses the sincere hope." said the no'e, "that factional and political di-pwtes will ! set aside and that all parties ami persons will work to re-ryt.iMish and coordinate the Kovernmcnt am: cure China's position aranng nations, which is impossible while there is internal discord.''

coniey the impression that the An;erian nonm'-nt was seeking to interfere unduly in China's interna! affairs was commented upon ts penuin. The situation -was brought to the attention of the state dtnartment sevral days ago and steps were taken at once to see that th- t-xt of the note as sifn out at I' kinir was p-MMied in .Japan. It i- not known here how this was rei ved. :!i(i,iis- cannot account for the publication in the Asahi. It is suetr sted that probably there was no cablegram from New York and that the matter appearing under a New York date was sent from China or actually written in Tokio. This is nt the fust case of misrepresentation of the government's foreign policy in an apparent effort t' cause trni hie.

I win, not ia:n:.T action. T'KI. June 14. Alleged failure

of the United States to consult Japan before presenting it? note to China continue, the subject of much discussion in the newspapers. The semi-official Times says: 'The foreign office officials musf obtain from the United States an assurance that it will not repeat its action in interfering with the domestic a flairs in China, completely it;norinfc the existence and position of Japan." The newspape,- adds that negotiations with the United States already have beun and affirms that the cabinet lias discussed the situation at length, on the ground that it rae!y concerns the future of the em pi re. Anions other statements made at the foreign office, says the Times, was one that Japan was ready to make a frank rie laration that he.instin' i for national e xistence compelsher jealously to tmard her special position in China. The action of the United States, it was added, was without uiterior motives and only oer-hasty. hut if touched vital questions as to Japan's future. The American position with recard to Mexico was a parallel case, but it was doubtful if the United States would countenance Japanese interference there. "Japan in the past." says the Times, "has been too reserved toward America. Japan should seek America's recognition of Japan's special position in China in order to prevent future misunderstanding."
