JAJPANE&E WONT AID MEXICO. Ishli Ridicules Suggestion That Maud Emiare Has Axe to Grind ?ew. Toyko, June S3.?"Of course any claim that the Japanese government will assist Mexicans with munitions and arms is out of ths question, and absurd," said Baron Iuhli, foreign minister, to a correspondent of the Associated Press, who asked him to? day for his views on the Mexican [situation. Declarations attributed to Mexicans wers that assurances had been received from Japan that muni? tions and "the assistance would be given ' t o In event of war vlth the Ui es. "As for private Japanese compa? nies selling arms to Mexicans," the foreign minister continued, "I con? sider it extremely improbable. As you know, all available rifles and guns are being furnished to Japan's allies to assist In bringing the European war to a successful Issue. And, I fancy, though I do not know, that munitions not avalable for our allies may have found their way t.o China during the revolutionary troubles. "Let me say this with all the em? phasis and earnestness ist , my com? mend," said the minister. 'The Jap? anese nation sincerely hopes that armed conflict between the United States 4tneV Mexico may be avoided. Japan's tntersst In America. North, Central and South, being essentially pacific and commercial, any event I bringing disturbances Into the Amer? ican market would be felt keenly in | Japan. This Is especially true at a messeat when the whole European trade Is virtually eloaed to Japan and the Chinese market Is seriously upset." Baron Ishli expressed surprise when the correspondent referred to Gen. Ramon Iturbe, a representative of Oen. Carransa, who was reported several, weeks ago to be on his way to Japan on a secret mission. for The : Tribune. News and Courier. Mr. Has i st'li newspapers?and In particular Mr. Hearst's New York American?have repeatedly In the past assailed President Wilson and the Wilson administration In language not merely violent but also deeply offen? sive. We ventured to Indulge tlio hope, however, that with the United States upon th? verge of war and with the honor and welfare of the Repub? lic dependent upon loyal support of the government by the people, even the Hearst newspapers might per? ceive that the campaign of vitupera? tion which they have conducted against the presldert should cease for a time. That hope, however, was un? founded. Mr. Hearst's New York American continues Its abuse of Pres? ident Wilson for what he has done and for what he has not done In re? gard to Mexico and persists with re* doubled energy In its effort to destroy public confidence In the government which at this moment all Americans should loyally support. It la a pleasure to be able to re? cord a striking contrast to this un? lovely spectacle. The New York Tri? bune nag also bean a determined and an outspoken opponent of the prest dent's policies. Its partisan spirit has carried It very far In the past?though never, so far as ws recall, to the point of employing offensive language?and among the New York newspapers of high standlag It has been the most conspicuous critic of the president's foreign policies. Yet the New York Tribune contains this editorial state? ment: 'Today we must all practice a little of the Americanism some of uo have talked much about in recent months. This Americanism, it seems to The Tribune, must begin by supporting the national government in an hour of crisis sad. In holding up its hands by demonstrating that at the point that we have now reached all considera? tions save those of establishing our unity in purpose and our determina? tion in the face of foreign peril must be laid aside. 'Tomorrow, when the issue of peace or war is determined, will be an ap? propriate time for discussing the steps by which we came to war or to the peril of war. Today, in the Immediate presence of an enemy, we must be united, we must 'stand by,' and The Tribune means to utand by.' " Good for The Tribune; Its stand is in keeping with the best traditions of Its long and honorable paid. So has been Its attitude toward the Hughes nomination. The whole tone of the pa? per In the past fortnight, in the face of a situation which for It is admit? tedly awkward, has been calculated to [Inspire a high respect. It shines by contrast. ?A bad taste In the mouth comes from a disordered stomach, and back of tssjt usually a torpid liver. A con? dition which Invites disease. Herbitte Is the remedy needed.
