working as zealously as Prince TOkujawa
himself for Nippon's cause.
As in other respects Japan is first in
the field among foreign nations with a
representative of the mothers and daugh-
tiers Of the world who long to end war.
SOCIAL FUNCTION
ASTUTELY PLANNED.
Washington has witnessed one Of The
most remarkable and most astutely con-
ceived functions in its social history.
Sadao Saburi playing host for the ia
pRnese embassy on behalf Of Baron Shi-
dehara, who is in mourning, asked the
leading newspaper correspondents of the
capital Ito meet their japanese col
lea CUES and Major General Tanaka and
Vice Admiral Kato at dinner" Nearly one
hundred men, almost equally divided as
to japanese and Americans, were at
huge oval table set in the midst of a
japanese chrysanthemum bower. A Jap
anese everywhere sat between two Amer
leans, while an American similarly was
placed between two japanese. There
were four speeches by jOr General Tan
aka and Vice Admiral Kato and by t-o
Americana II. Y. Culshan and Mark Sui
Ivan. Mr.. Saburi, counselor Of the ia
panese Embassy preceded as postmaster
with the ease, grace and courtly English
Of a Choate or a Depew. He "ioshed"
Americans as they love to be 'joshed.H
After dinner, and then with bOldness
which probably would have upset all ira
ditions in Toxic "joshed" his own people.

Saburi, while in America to do as the
Americans do"

hopes of their feIow-countrymen, to find
means Of relief from the crushing bur

not well afford to 80 back home, with
hat in hand. TO confess the failure Of
their work and Of the conference" The
carefully prepared speeches read by Gen
eral Tanaka and Admiral Kato may be
regarded as foreshadowing the guiding
principle Of Japan at the conference.
