Mr.. Debuchi said that in the event
II his leaving Washington for another
post, it is probable that Matsuzo Nan
gai will succeed him. The last two
japanese ambassadors at Washington
have been vice ministers of foreign
affairs. Mr. Matsuidara came from
the foreign office, Mr.. Debuchi was vice
minister before coming to Washington
and in all likelihood Mr. Nagai, the pres
ent vice minister will eventually sue

close friends and former class mates

service at the same time in 1902.
