The Japanese Minister Hints That if» the ' United States Should Support His Government Russia's Protest' Would Be of No Avail- WASHINGTON, April 27. -—Minister Kurino of Japan today gave out a very significant interview on the eastern question. He said that in his opinion the commercial inter. ests Of the United States in the east, par- ticularly in Japan, are so much more ex- tensive and important than those of Ger. many or France that it would be eminent- ly desirable in the event of a Franco-Ger- man alliance with Russia to prevent the consummation of the peace treaty for the United States to take an active part in offsetting such an alliance. Mr. Kurino wished it to be clearly under- stood, however, that this was his personal conviction. He had not, he said, received any instructions from his gOVOrnment,and there had been no suggestion of an official or unofi’icial character from him to the state department that the United States should he enlisted in its support. His views were thercsult of. his personal in- formation of the extent of United States interests in the east. “The commercial interests of the United States in J apnn are very much greater than those of Germany or France. Proc- tically their interests are little or nothing. while those of the United States are very extensive. The British trade comes first, and after that comes the trade of the Unit- ed States. It would be eminently proper, therefore, if the United States, in consid- eration of her commercial interests, should offset a demonstration on the part of France and Germany, if any such move is actually made. I am not Officially in- formed that it has been made, nor am I apprehensive of the move should it be made. But in the event of its being real- ized then there is little doubt in my Opin- ion that the commercial interests of the United States would make it expedient to take part in the issue. This, of course, would not mean that the United States was to engaged in a fight. Its co-opera— tion would undoubtedly be effective with- out any radical step.” Japan Means Business. Mr. Kurino was asked what the result would be if China’s procrastination or for- eign interference prevented a. ratification of the peace agreement. ’ “Then, ” he replied, “the war will be re- newad on May 8 with far more vigor and determination than before. The present cessation of hostilities is due entirely to the armistice granted with the understand- ing that a. peace was desired and would be effected. If, however, that result is not 56‘ cured, there will be a most aggressive ad- vance on China.” . The interview shows that Japan is fully alive to the menace contained in the sug- gestions of a triple European alliance to prevent the consummation of the China- Japancse treaty and to the advantage of meeting this alliance with a counter alli- ance. . Peace Treaty Before the Emperor. LONDON, April 27.——A Poking dispatch to The Times says that Mr. John W. Fos- ter, the American adviser of the Chinese peace envoys, and the secretary of Li Hung Chang have arrived there and that the treaty of peace betwoen China. and Japan is now before the emperor and his minis- ters. The Chinese foreign office consulted with the different foreign legations. Many of the censors have presented memorials against the treaty. Prince Kung, presi- dent of the foreign oflice and of the coun- cil of ministers, has obtained seven days more sick leave. Other Officials hesitate to recommend the ratification of the treaty. Viceroy Li Hung Chang will probably not come here, but will go to Chefu if the ratifications are exchanged there as pro- posed. . N _ _ _ . Greek Velunteérs ' For .Madagnscar.
