JAP COMMISSION
WILL CO-OPF.RATF
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—
Viscount Ishii, the special Japanese
ambassador, gave to The Associated
Press tonight a statement defining the
purposes of his mission to the Uni
ted States. Members of the mission
noticed at Honolulu, at San Francisco
and finally here in Washington indi
cations that their coming might be
misinterpreted by certain elements,
and it was felt necessary to explain
that no commercial or selfish interests
were to be subserved.
The ambassador's statement fol
lows:
“The imperial Japanese mission
came to the United States for two
reasons, first, to convey to the presi
dent and the American, people the ap
preciation and congratulations of the
emperor and the nation of Japan for
the entrance of the United States into
the war as allies of Japan and the
other nations now waging war against
the enemies of freedom. Second, to
determine how best to co-operate with
the United States in carrying the war
to a trlmpbant conclusion.
“Having determined in what man
ner Japan can use her resources and
strength to this end, it is the purpose
of the misson to further aid the al
lied cause by showing what she can
do with the help and co-operation of
the United States. Japan is entirely
unselfish in her aim. We are fighting
for a common end and we wish to aid
in the common efforts."

WASHINGTON, D, C„ Sept. 11.—
Threatened labor dsturhances in war
industries on the Pacific C’oap* and
in the Northwest have passed their
climax, officials declared today, and
conditions in the affected districts are
rapidly improving. Reports to the de
partment of labor and justice from
field investigators indicated that dis
affection exists among the ranks of
the I. W. W. and that the organiza
tion may soon face industrial strife.
The swift and drastic acton taken by
the government to suppress the
threatened general I. W. W. strike in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana August 21, officials said, had a
discouraging effect upon the organ
ization leaders and so far as could
be ascertained no new labor distur
bances are contemplated by the or
ganization.
Hundreds of members of the I. W.
W., It was said, have become dissat
isfied and in certain localities many
have already indicated their desire to
leave the organization.
Senator Hubbard reports the gla
cier streams quite high between the
city and his house, and at present
is forced to use.a boat to get into
town, he reports a number of bridges
washed out.
