A despatch from Port Arthur, dated November 21, state that at a conference of Japanese Consuls along the South Manchuria Raiiway asd chiefs of police affairs of Kuantung, held on November 20, Baron Ishuin, the Civil Governor, made the followwing statement "The first and foremost thing you have to take into consideration i, that Kuantung' Province is China's territory and that Japan only holds it as leased land. Unless yow act on the basis of this funda-_ mental idea, it is very likely that you will make a blunder, whereby an obstacle to diplomatic relations with China will be engendered? Imperialism is not a right state policy and if you should advance forward with the idea of impenalism by confining your attention only to such a small piece of land as Kuantung Province, you are sure to make a great fault, In view of the general situation of the world and the close relationship between Japan and China, Japan should first open herself and then request others to open them: selves, pushing to the front with world peace and ce-existence and ce-prosperity for China and Japan in view."—Eastern News Agency.
