was of peace.
Hailing the full restoration of
Japanese-American friendship
after the "tragic interlude" of
World War II, Emperor Hiro-
hito began a state visit yester-
day amid elaborate ceremonial
trappings.
ON AN overcast day, with
about 2,000 persons witnessing
the welcoming ceremonies on
the White House lawn the frail,
74-year-old monarch said:
"Our peoples withstood the
challenges of one tragic inter-
lude, when the Pacific Ocean,
symbol of tranquility, was in-,
stead a rough and stormy sea,
and haverbuilt today unchanging
ties of friendship and good will.
"I feel immeasurably grati-
fied by this happier development
and look forward with great an-
ticipation to the future of our
relationship."
PRESIDENT Ford, who
served in the U.S. Navy, made
no reference to the war, dwell-
ing instead on the current era
of peace and friendship between
the two countries.
"At a time when the benefits
of cooperation are mutually ac-
claimed, your Majesty's visit
symbolizes and strengthens the
ties between our two peoples,"
Ford said.
