for Foreign Affairs for eleven years
from 1905 to 1916. He guided the

the Vice Minister Of Foreign Affairs

been appointed japanese Ambassa-
dor to succeed Viscount Ishii in
Washington
Although the State Department
has not been approached with a
view Of learning whether Mr.. Shid-
ehara would be persona grata TO
the United States, it is understood
that the Vice Minister occupied the
leading position among those beinS
considered for the post. 1t has beer
understood here for some time past
that EiscOunt Ishii would not re-
turn.
Any statement that Mr.. Shidehara
had been appointed Ambassador. II

inasmuch as the State Department
had not been advised. The feeling
TO Premier Hara that the Vice Min
lister could not be spared from the
cabinet at this time is understood
TO be an obstacle.
Mr.. Shidehara was formerly coun-
selor Of the embassy here and dur
ing the early years Of the war was
Minister to The Hague.
No word has been received at the
japanese Embassy here about the
appOin tment of a new Ambassador.
