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?

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.

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.
