(Continued from Page 1) JAPAN AND THE COMING COMMERCIAL WAR.

London April 18.

The Japanese Ambassador 'with Japanese delegatos en suite who attended the Allied Commercial Conference in Rome were guests at luncheon in the House of Commons.

The Japanese Ambassador dwelt upon the possibility of a war of commerce after the war and said it was high time for the Allies to take steps to protect themselves against such an eventuality. He said the Anglo-Japanese Alliance was stronger than ever. It was Japan's mission to maintain peace and preserve order' in the Far East.” He congratulated Britain on her victories on the Western Front, which, he said, herald greater things to come.
