PICKARD 'SUNEO MATSUDAIRA, the new Japanese ambassador to the United States, arrived In Washington Wednes day, "wltli gratitude In his heart" for the preliminary welcomes he had re ceived at San Francisco and at Chi cago. His official welcome at the cap- will be no less warm, for he Is dis- setly persona grata to the United States government. He comes of a great historical family of Japan, as does his wife; speaks English well; was secretary general of the Japanese delegation to the Washington arms con ference; has held several Important diplomatic posts in Europe, and was vlc^ tnlnister of foreign affairs In the jfJapanese cabinet at the time of ap pointment In sliort, be is of the new school of Japanese statesmen. The ambassador's unofficial words en route 'icroas America explain why he Is wel come at the capital: **1 bring greetings from across the Pacific to the people of America. I have had a splendid .welcome to your shores. 1 am come on a mission of peace. I consider It a duty and a privilege to do all that I can to strengthen the bonds of friendship be tween the United States and Japan. There is no question or difference of opinion that is not capable of amicable settlement if approached In the spirit of friendship. If the press of both na tions will confine itself to facts—that wUl help.” problems of the farmer. In J.924 he was opposed to the McNary-Haugen price fixing bill. The vast army of national park en thusiasts Is an.xlously awaiting a state ment by the new secretary of hla policy ns to the efforts of the forest service of the Agriculture department to wrest the control of the national parks from the national park service of the Interior department. The thou sands promoting the adoption of a national forestry policy and program also are eager for a statement. T he struggle in the senate over con- fl M ATSUDAIRA’S temper of mind Is appreciated at Washington. For as the new ambassador neared the . Golden Gate he may have had glimpse of the great American fleet now prac ticing In the Pacific, preparatory to starting for the much-vexed Hawaiian maneuvers and a visit to Australia and New Zealand. And it will be re membered under what circumstances bis predecessor, Masanao Hanlliara, de parted from Washington. It is also easy to recall that Japan at one tfme strenuously protested against our Pa cific naval program for this summer. The main point of the great mimic war in the Hawaiian islands between the attacking “Blue” fleet and the de fending "Black” land forces Is to de cide whether the Island of Oahu, our naval base in the Pacific, can be de fended against enemy attack. With Oahu in our possession, our Pacific coast is safe from enemy attack, from the military viewpoint. Oahu can be defended against enemy attack, pro vided Its defense is supplemented by an American fleet in the Pacific. But snppose an emergency keeps our fleet In the Atlantic—that’s another and different story. Hence the importance of the coming Hawaiian maneuvers. Hence the importance of a Japanese ambassador who do^ not necessarily i«sd into this mimic war the inference that the hypothetical “enemy attack" is on the part of Japan and does not necessarily see in the “friendship vlaU** of the American fleet to Aus tralis and New Zealand a combination and conspiracy against Japan by the ICngliab-iq>eaking peoples of the Pa- cUlc. firmatlon of the President’s nomina tion of Cliarles B. Warren to be at torney general Is still on at this writ ing. It Is a lively fight, with surpris ing features. Tuesday, while Vice President Dawes was “peacefully snoozing” at his hotel, the senate ap proached a tie vote. A des^rafe ef^ fort was made to get Vice President Dawes there in time to break it. As Dawes entered the chamber, Overman of North Carolina, the only Democrat who had voted for Warren, dramatical ly switched his vote. Tills destroyed the tie of 40 to 40, cinched Warren’s defeat and made the automobile rush of Dawes more or less ridiculous. Whereupon the senate—at least the i anti-Warren senators, if no others-— gave Dawes the “ha, hal” They had got even with him for reading the riot act to them March 4, President Coolldge Thursday sur prised everyone, including the party leaders, by again sending the nomina tion of Warren to the senate. It was not made public whether the President had determined to force the fight or had acted in order to give Warren an opportunity to defend himself against senate charges. Incidentally, the Mich igan house ,of representatives Wednes day endorsed Warren, as a reply to the statement of Couzens that nine-tenths of the people of that state were back ing his opposition to the confirmation. A late statement Issued by Secretary Sanders at the White House was this: “At the request of the President Mr. Warren consented to allow his name to be presented again to the senate.” Officials would not enlarge on the an nouncement, but some senators were of the,opinion that Mr. Coolldge de sired to assume full responsibility and draw u direct issue between himself and the senate on the question. which $410,000 Is to bci spent on the Transinountain road. This road Is be ing built across the Continental Divide and when completed will be the first means of access throilfeta the park from the east side to the west by motor car. In the Yosemlte National ^park, Cali fornia, $404,000, the next largest allot ment, will be expended. Approximate ly half of these funds will be used In paving the El Portal road from the park boundary to Yosemlte Ylllage,' connecting with the all-year highway which the state Is building to El Portal and which Is expected to donble the automobile travel Into Yosemlte. The sum of $235,000 has been allotted to Mount Rainier National park and $166,000 has been allotted for road work In the Grand Canyon National park. The $140,500 allotted to Rockjr" Mountain National park, Colorado, will be divided between six different projects, Trtt of them Important. The famous Fall River road, the highest road in the national park system, reaching an altitude of 11,797 feet on the top of Rocky mountain, and the High drive from Fall River to Moraine park will get the larger share of these funds. B aron ago von maltzan, the new German ambassador, was ofll- clally welcomed Thursday by Presi dent Coolldge. The new representative of Germany thanked the President for the work of American citizens in tlDS economic and financial reconstruction of his country. “I gratefully recall the generous ac tivities of American citizens in social and cultural help, and the farseelng work of financial and economic recon struction, bearing an American name which has,become historical,” he said. “The last order of the deceased pres ident of the relch was to express to you, Mr. President, his feeling of high personal esteem and his sincere wish for the welfare of the United States of America.” “It Is for you to Interpret to Amer ica the Just aspirations of your na tion,” said President Coolldge In re ply. “It Is for you to promote the un derstanding which Is the only sound basis of lasting peace. We have had a long history as a republic, and we hope that you may profit by a study of our experience of a century and a half of democratic government.” by Presl- J. dent Coolldge in bis Inaugural address as to the necessity of party loyalty .and regularity suits the reg ular Republicans in both house and senate. The respective committees on committees have cleaned up In accord ance therewith. The house demoted followers of LaFollette on Important committees. The senate, after long and bitter debate. In which the opposi tion was led by Borah of Idaho and N’orrls of Nebraska, demoted LaFol lette senators, the whole slate being approved by a vote of 64 to 11. The test vote, 36 to 13, was on the effort of the opposition to substitute Ladd of North Dakota, a LaFollette follower, for Stanfield of Oregon as chairman of the public lands committee. Most of the Democrats here declined to mix In the party quarrel and voted “present” So the Insurgents are placed at the bot tom of the lists In accordance with the numerical strength of their followers.
