Brief Sketch Of
Warren's Career.
Here is a brief sketch of the new
Attorney General IL the Senate is
agreeable:
Mr. Warren was political leader
in Michigan, power in the sugar
beet industry, lawyer OF eminence
and Republican national committee
man before he entered the dfplo-
matte field. He was one OF the
staunch supporters OF Warren G.
Harding at the Chicago convention
in 1920, despite the fact the Michi-
gan delegation was pledged to Sena-
tor Hiram Johnson as a result OF
the Presidential preference primary.
Mentioned frequently as likely to
attain to Cabinet -honors in the
Harding Administration, Mr.. War
rem. g. valued counsellor in the Re-
publican campaign Of 1920, was
named ambassador to Tokyo in
June, 1921. He retained that post
until March, 1928, when he asked to
be relieved.
After few months in private
life, Mr.. Warren was asked by
President Harding to serve with
John Barton Payne as the Amcri-
can commissioners to negotiate
terms of resumption Of diplomatic
relations with Mexico. He per-
formed salutary service which led
to his being urged to assume the
ambassadorship in Mexico City until
the policies he formulated were car
ried into practical effect.
Practices Law
In Home Town.
Since his retirement as ambassa-
dor to Mexico last summer, Mr..
Warren has been practicing law In
Detroit. The new Attorney General
has not been successful as an or
ganizatiofl Republican in Michigan
because his incisive speech and his
uncompromising attitude have
caused him to clash with other
party leaders.
Mr.. Warren will be fifty-five
years of age. in April. He is a ma
tive of Michigan, a graduate OF the
Detroit College Of Law and of the
University of Michigan, and has
been practicing in Detroit since
1893. He was counsel for the United
States before the Joint High COM
mission to determine the Boring
sea claims in 1896. In 1910 he rep
resented the United States at the
Hague in the North Atlantic fish
cries arbitration with Great Britain.
When America declared war
against Germany Mr.. Warren placed
his legal talents at the service of
the Government. He performed
work of great value in association
with General Cro&der, was raised
to rank of lieutenant colonel and
awarded a Distinguished Service
Medal.
Mr.. Warren is in town for a few
days and is staying at the New Will
lard.
