The following is the text of the speech delivered in the Diet on January 21 by Baron Sbideharu, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs, dealing particularly with Sino-Japanese relations and the question of extra-territoriality :— In China, endless scenes of in- ternal commotion and strife have in the past from year to year pre- seated themselves. They have not only caused untold misery and hardships to the Chinese people themselves, but have also exercised à most harmful influence upon our political and economie relations with China.

optimistic view. They hold that all, the suspicion and mistrust which the Chinese people have hitherto harboured towards Japan rest on ao substantial grounds, and that with a better understanding on China's part of our real motives. there must come a better relation- ship between us two peoples, They further anticipate that stabilisation of the internal political status of the Chinese Government will be followed by a reorientation of Chi- aese foreign policits upon more moderate and normal lines..

It would be needless to point out that in, our modern world a policy repugnant to all sense of reason and moderation can scarcely tend to rehance the prestige of aed of our strong position in the nation, or to serve the purpose for public opinion of the world. which it is intended, I sincerely trust that the responsible states- men of Chine will avoid all such temptations, and will proceed to work out their country's destiny by steady and measured stops. Two Views of Future Sino-Japanese

Relations.

The future of Sino-Japanese rela- tiens is variously viewed in this country. There are peerimists who maintain that however fair and liberal a course Japan may steer, China will never meet us halfway, but will be swayed by considera tions of domestic politics, and nesume towards us an attitude more wanton than ever, which would only be calculated to aggravate the situation. Others entertain a more
