WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

About the toughest mission upon
| which foreign diplomat ever embarked
in washington is the one that began to-
day, when Mr.. HiroSi Saito, newly ar
rived japanese charge daffaires, for
| mally presented himself for the first
| time to Secretary of State Stimson.
They had met, before, for Mr.. Saito was
member Of the Japanese delegation to
| the London Naval Conference in 1880.
| His job is hard job because it synchro-
| nizes with Japan's efforts to bring about
! world recognition of Manchukuo as an
! independent state The views of the
| United States and Japan on that sub
| ject are about as far apart as the two
countries themselves Toxic, indeed,
| looks upon Washington as the villain in
| the piece, for the Hoover doctrine" of
recognition Of territory fashioned
in violation Of international treaties is
the flag around which most of the world,
| including the League of Nations, is
rallying in the ManChurian affair. Mr..
Saito knows America well. He was the
granite-faced Admiral Kato's right
hand man and interpreter at the wash
ington Arms Conference OF 192l-22.
Later Mr.. Saito was Japanese consul
English, with q touch of American &C
cent.
There's nothing pickayunish about
Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate
Jack Garner. Once upon 8 time men
running for Office used to hand out
mere cigars. Texas favorite son gives
away live steers. Democrats In South
New Jersey some time ago arranged to
throw an honest-to-goodness Dixie bar
| becue early in October. The Speaker
heard about it through his friend, the
mayor of Egg Harbor City, N. j., who
, coyly suggested that Texas steer would
add a welcome flavor to the occasion.
| Three other friends Of Cactus jack
| wrote him along similar lines. Last
| week each of the four Jersey Democrats
| received, with the Speakers compli-
ments, a white-faced short horn fit to
kill The beeveS are now being tattened
up on a farm near the barbecue scene,
and the news that the leafs" will be on
Garner is expected to draw a record
crowd of ravenous Democrats to the
feed.
Senator Bronson Cuttings defeat in
| the recent Republican State convention
| in New Mexico was the ProgreSsives'
DAYS, the other having been the COL
lapse of the La Toilette racket" in
Wisconsin. Cuttings slate of delegates
was rejected and G. o. P. regulars
seated in their stead. The Senator was
so hot and bothered that he resigned
as Republican national committeeman
J and announced that his organization
| would file third State ticket. Also Cut
ting hints that his crowd may support
the Democrats. Ironically, the Republic
an candidate for Governor whom Cutting
opposed was R. C.. Dillon, twice Gov
ernor and the one who appointed the
disgruntled Progressive to the Senate
in succession to the late Andreius A.
Jones' Cutting came to Capitol Hill
as a fairly orthodox Republican, but
during the past year or two wholly left
the reservation, vying with Messrs.
| Norris, La Toilette ct al as an archfoe
of the Hoover administration. OF cul-
tured background, he Is sometimes called
Henry Cabot Lodges successor as the
/ scholar of Congress.
X X
| Very latest under the sun is the prof.
ect of brace of New York playwrights
to dramatic the bonus march on
Washington into stage play. They've
been in the Capital during the past few
days, looking over the scene, interview
ing certain personages who were in the
