JAPAN WELCOMES
AMERICAN ENVOY
New Ambassador Gets Re.

Foreign Diplomat.
BY T.. II. EGGER.

by wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News, Copyright, 1928.
TOXIC. July 19.-The Japanese
press is extending cordial welcome
to Cyrus Z. Woods. new American
ambassador. Newspapers predict for
him most successful diplomatic
career because of a popularity al
ready gained which is rarely at
tanned by foreign ENJOYS.
one newspaper declares in bold
headlines: "Pro-Japanese America n
ambassador arrives" 1t adds: His
success in moulding more firmly the
strong ties OF friendship between the
two countries is assured"
Makes Good Impression.
Another journal declares: THE i'm
preston which Ambassador Woods
has created is the most favorable
of any foreign diplomat arriving in
japan in the last sixty years"
Woods arrival also has brought
press comment regarding various
diplomatic issues, particularly on inn
migration.
The Nichi-Nichi, representative
newspaper of the conservative fac
tions. declares: Many problems are
awaltlns settlement which are 50 I'M
portant that the longer their Solu-
tlons are delayed the worse will be
the effect they are destined to produce
on the diplomatic relations of the two
countries.
DO Not Fear War.
while we do not think for mo-
ment that war will ever break out
we do believe that serious mishaps
may occur unless effective measures
are taken 10 put relations on a more
cordial basis. Our opinion of the best
method of settling outstanding differ
erceS was indicated when the Japa-
nese-American relations committee
formulated the plan for organizing a
joint commission to investigate such
Iroblems. We regret that the plan
was brushed aside, due to action
which indicates that America is play
ing fast and loose with the immigra-
tlon problem. With such mood
prevailing, there is no hope of a sat
iSlactory settlement. We earnestly y
nope that the new American am
passador will attempt to make Amer
leans understand the Japanese posi-
ton in reference to this problem"
