A remarkable speech by Viscount Ishii caused a pro- found impression at a ban- quet last night to the new United States Ambassador to Japan, Mr. Grew.

hinted that the United States must not try to defeat Japan's ubjects in Manchuria.

He said that Japan would be foolish if they attempted to inter fere in the Western hemisphere, as much as to say that the United States would be foolish if she interfered in Asia.

The occasion was the banquet of, welcome to Mr. Grow given by the Japanese-American Society in Tokyo, those present including: Prince Tokogawa. Admiral Vis- count Saito and Viscount Ishii,
