NEW YORK, May 2O.-The part
played by Townsend Harris. as first
american Minister to Japan in estab-
Ashing a policy of friendship between
the TWO countries was recounted and
praised by Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japa-
nese Ambassador to Washington, in
an address here today. The Ambas-
sador spoke at the unveiling of me-
dall1on to Harris at the College of the
City OF New York, which he founded
Describing troubled conditions eX-
listing in Japan in 1856 when Mr.. Har-
ris arrived in Toxic. and which re-
suited in many International compli-
cations, the Ambassador declared the
American Minister was the only for
eiSn envoy in Japan willing to evince
lenient and friendly attitude
The fact that the United States
was represented in those critical days
in Japan by man of Townsend Har-
ris' farsightedness, generosity and
sympathetic understanding, the Am
baSsador said, lis a cause of profound
qualification, not only in the interest
of Japan, but also in that of the
friendly relations between our two
countries. Had the United States

Inspiration to Successors.
Looking back over the history of
American diplomacy in Japan, it APP
pears to me that the record of Town
send Harris must have been a source
of inspiration to the succession of
Ministers and Ambassadors. who have
followed in his train. They have been
a remarkable group of men, evidently
to maintain the high standard
which he set, earnestly desiring to
keep and to develop the happy rela-
tions of friendship he first established.

tribute to Townsend Harris, business

American people. Government control
of everything suggested by this class,
depriving the States of their rights
and denying communities of local
self-control, he said, is an insult to
the integrity of the sturdy souls who
laid the foundation upon which this
Nation exists.
Credit for a large ma jority of the
significant reforms in American Gov
ernment since the Civil War should
be given to the Democrats, he de-
clared. They have been in power very
little in the last half century, he said,
but the ideas for reforms were born
in the minds of Democrats, being ap-
propriated and enacted into law under
Republican administrations.
Democracy cannot be separated
from anything pure, sweet and whole
some in life, Senator King said. To
be a true Democrat, he said, man
must necessarily personify everything
honorable and upright. and cannot
succeed unless the true meaning and
spirit of democracy is absorbed.

cratic party is neither dead nor in

VI. c. Scheble, vice president of the
Kruger Machinery company, sees
ahead a constant and important de-
velopment of the extensive area of
irrigable lands contiguous to San
Antonio, and located in what is known
as the artesian belt. This means big
things for San Antonio, its natural
trading center and a consequent in.
crease in industrial San Antonio.
With added capacity and a com

CURTIS BILL To

BOARD
Kansas Senator Would Add
Federal Agency to Depart
ment of Justice

Abolition Of the Federal Trade
Commission, with the absorption of
it's functions by the Department of
Justice is part of the plan of Sena-
tor Charles Curtis, majority leader
of the Senate, in the reorganization
of the Federal establishment.
Senator Curtis is also strongly in
favor of eliminating the Shipping
Board and ceding its functions to
the Commerce Department. He is
in complete agreement with Senator
Edge of New Jersey on this point.
The Tariff Board should not be
merged in any of the old-line de-
partments, but it should be reduced
TO a membership of three, Senator
Curtis said. OF the forty or more
independent establishments, boards,
commissions and bureaus in Wash
ington, the Kansan believes that ut
least thirty could be either lbol-
| ished or consolidated without detri-
| ment to the efficiency of the Fed
eraI Government.
Senator Curtis was at the White
House today, but did not discuss re-
organization with President Cool
iG~e. He reserved this talk until
after he had conferred with Senator
Edge, who also has d resolution
| 70 Introduce in the next Congress,
bringing about a reorganization Of
the Federal service by placing it
under the discretion and control of
the President.
Senator Curtis resolution is
similar in scope and purpose to that
of Senator Edge, and he expects to
have it enacted at the next session
