fixed In the Japanese mind as was
the idea that if Russia was peilnU
ted to obtain undue Influence In Ko-
rea the Japanese nation would be de-
stroyed. Sooner or later this notion
will bring about war between the
United States and Japan. I do not
expect it to occur before the com-
pletion of the Panama canal, which,
front our -point of view, is esenlial,
but it "may occur any time within
twenty years."
This expression of opinion was
made today by a high official of the
government, who has enjoyed ex-
ceptional advantages in observing re
latlons between Japan and the United
States, both from the outside and the
Inside. While frankly admitting that
he does not expect war with Japan
in the near future, he, like other
keen observes of the situation, is
well aware of all the steps being
taken by Japan with a view to war
with any nation at any time. Notwith-
standing this knowledge of the subject
he still maintains that was is a pos
slbllity of the future only.
In connection with the recent mob.
