TOKYO, "Apr. 2. Viscount Ishii, Japanese delegate to the forthcoming world economic conference at Washington, said in an interview to-day that a vital portion of his mission in Washing ton will be pacific. He stated that he will make an effort to convince American and Chinese leaders alike of the absolute necessity of an ear ly joint effort of Japan and China to solve their mutus! problems.
Ishii declared that an outstand- ing world problem from Japan's viewpoint, economically as well as politically, was the chaos in Chith, and the means to be employed in Assisting China to emerge where from. He stated that it is neces- sary for Japan, Manchukuo and China to co-operate to bring this

The sooner China realizes this, the better off she will be. Other wise China will soon fall into a hopeless condition, confronting a world crisis far more serious than the Manchurian situation.".
Meanwhile China's delegate to Washington, T. V. Soong, arrived at Yokohama aboard the President Jefferson and remained coluded in His cabin, as he did in Kobe. He declined to set foot on Japanese soil. He saw no newspaper men and received no Japanese officials. The Jefferson sails for Seattle at 2 p.m. on Saturday,
