JAP PRESS CONDUCTING JINGO CAMPAIGN AGAINST AMERICA
special to Tu* Nugget by The Associated Press.
TOKIO. April 17—Interest in Japanese-American relations is now cen
tralized in the announcement of the Tokio press that Huron Ishii. the Jap
anese Ambassador to the I'nited States, is returning to Japan. The Japanese
jingo press hints darkly that the return of the Ambassador is due to friction
between the Japanese and American governments nve r tin- atti
tude of the American peace delegates toward the Japanese de
mand for the equality of Japanese citizens with the nationals of the Kntcnte
and other powers included in the League of Nations. The conservative press
•s apparently at a loss to account for the unexpected return of ambassador
Ishii but admits that no serious diplomatic split has appeared between Am
erica and Japan. The bulk of the Japanese newspapers, are keeping up a
steady anti-American campaign and are assailing the Americans on every jhis
sible occasion. It is charged that the Americans are acting in a manner
’niniical to the interests of Japan in Siberia, Korea and China and that the
Americans arc plainly seeking to secure trade domination the Orient. The
Jiji Shimpo, one’of the leading organs of Tokio is especially hostile to America
and declares that “the Americans selfishly want the Monroe Doctrine Included
In the League of Nations.”

of the League of Nations plan, spoke here last night in opposition to the League
convention adopted by the Inter-Allied Peace Conference at Paris. Poindexter

ing the nations into a harmonious understanding based on justice and right,
lie said that it will be nothing less than a league to enforce peace by the might
of a few nations which under its provisions will dominate the world. Poin
dexter declared that an institution that is based on force Is abhorrent to
American ideas of liberty and in opposition to the letter and spirit of the
Declaration of Independence. A league based on force, ho declared, would
throw the world into slavery to a few of the major European powers.

ternoon and will speak against the League of Nations at both points.
