NEW YORK, Feb. 10.- Hiroshi SaitO, the youngest Ambassador ever sent to Am erica by the Nippon Govern ment, avOwed Japan has no wish to take over the Philip pines and he laughed over any and all suggestions of a possible second Russo-Japan- csc War. He arrived here yesterday afternoon.
 "We are not going to fight. Russia does not want to fight us and we do not want to fight Russia. If we go to war with Russia, it means we will go to war with all other countries and that in- cludeS the United States. We do not want to commit sui- eide" said Saito.
 Before being interviewed he in- sisted that the drinks be ordered for all of you Prohibitionists."

l. OCAL PACKERS ANNOUNCE PLAN
 OF EMPLOYMENT
Will Open E m ploymen' Agencies in Alaska But
 Without Contract Power

Employment offices, similar to those operated in Alaska last year will shortly be opened in the Ter ritory by the salmon packers, Gov John w. Troy has been advised by H. B. Friele, President of the As sociation of the Pacific Fisheries with whom the Governor has been communicating for sometime rela- tive to the employment of Alaskan labor in the salmon fishing and canning industry.
 The employment agencies, how ever, will not be empowered to con- tract for any labor, although this was very strongly recommended to President Friele by Gov. Troy. The canners, MT. Friele said, did not consider it practical to go to that length.
 Open Offices Soon
 In his radiogram to the Cover nor, MT. Friele said a representa- tive group from the industry met in Seattle last Thursday and ap- pointed committee from each general district with instructions to work out details for establish ing employment agencies soon.
 At that meeting the concensus of opinion was that it is impracticable to give the employment agents full authority to make contracts as the superintendents would be unable to pass upon the men hired. The packers, however, will confer with different agencies to post them

AT sEA-AND RUDDERLEss

It would be difficult to overstate the situation of confusion which this news has caused in many (hitherto) well ordered minds.
 Public figures of magnitude, who had come to regard the old party lines as among the most definite figures in the universe, find them selves completely at sea. They do not understand what has happened.
 Perhaps. under the circumstance es, it is not surprising that the Re- publican organization of Massa- chusetts-the state of Calvin Cool idge and Henry Cabot Lodge-is debating whether to run a candi- date at all for Senator this year. Some party leaders want simply to let Democratic Senator Walsh have his reelection by default and not commit themselves until there are further developments.
 The Republican National Head quarters continues to fire off car tridges point blank, but some of the most important regulars think it would be much better to stay quiet.

 February lo

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Private fliers of American airmails, strip ped of valuable contracts by the Government, cried out today for hearings on President Roosevelt $ wholesale abrogation of existing airmail contracts which becomes ef- fective February 19. On that date planes of the United States Army will begin flying the mail.
 The demolition of the airmail subsidy structure was accomplished on the grounds of collision in ob- taining contracts.
 The War Department said it will be ready m one week or soon- CT.
 Deny Collision
 Operators of airllnes holding contracts were quick to deny any collision and some frankly said the loss of contracts might force them out of business.
 Many contractors demanded they be given a hearing before the con- tracts are taken from them
 There is no official comment on these demands but there is private talk in some Administration quar- ters of a hearing for at least some of the contract holders.
 The statute under which the or der was issued sets forth that no firm deprived of a contract for collision can seek another for five years.

Politicians Are in Midst
 of NeU DeaI m Politics as
 in Nelu DeaI of Government
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press. Washington

Politicians who were skeptieal about the new psrtyp talked of in 1892 by Rs It aears s~ just beginning to see what it was all about.
 They understand now thar they have been witnessing the most am bilious effort of a generation to bring about a real realignment in politics, a radical revision of party lines which have obtained with only minor variations since the civil war
 When MT. Roosevelt brought a substantial group of Republican in surgents into his camp two years ago hide-bound organization men of both parties unanimously re- fused to regard it as a matter of great significance. It represented, they said, just another of those temporary defections from which all parties suffer
 
 They talk differently now. Their eyes have been opened to the sight of Republicans in Democratic Cabinet; a President almost never mentioning the party whose can didate he was; the clearing out of office and almost out of Washing ton of officials of the successful party; a National Democratic Chairman openly lending aid to Republican Senator Hiram John son in his reelection contest.
 It has taken a long time for the news to sink in, but the politicians understand now they are in the midst of new deal in politics as well as in government.

RACE FOR LEADERSHIP HOUSE INCREASES

The fight for leadership of the House of Representatives in Washington D. G. has taken on different aspect the result of two developments.
 The first is the that undesgnated agent of the Democratic national committee is quietly passing the word along of both new and old members to be wary o committing themselves advance for any of the cand dates for speaker.
 The other is the announcement that Vice President Garner accepted invitation quit his Uvade retreat and return to Washington in time to attend the Gridron dinner on the night of December 8th
 If it be true that the Democratic national committee, the political agency of the administration officially or un- officially has interested itself in the question ot House lea dership it must be construed as highly significant
 Just what it portends no one seems to know It seems fairly certain however be rue that regardless of how much the administration desires to play handso in the fight it is finding increasingly difficult to do so
 The contention all along has been that the adminsra- on has vital stake in the question For obvious

AID TO AIR DEFENSE

(Seatte Post-Intelligencer)
 The suggestion before the federal aviation commission that air transport pilots should at least two weeks year in the army air corps deserves immediate adoption
 The proposal made by David l. Behncke, whose position as president of the Air Lines Pilots Association gives the indorsemen of Americas finest civilian flyers Benefits of such system at apparent It would coordinate national defense and civilian aviation develop ment.
 It would give the army an auxiliary force of highly trained and experienced flyers for quick mobilization in event of sudden emergency.
 How necessary these pilots would be in of war is brought by the experiences of the army air corps in flying the mails under emergency conditions for which it was not prepared.
 Lack of preparedness the lives of thirteen of bravest army flyers needless sacrifice to the penurous policy of the department in ordering men to duties for which they not trained equipped, and grave warning of the need for thorough revision of present avia ton policies.
 This "penurious policy Behncke added, has kept our military flyers defenders in time of grounded for lack of gas and oil to take their machines into the air
 That such policy could be tolerated at time when air defense recognized the best safeguard against at tack is unthinkable.
 America has the men, the facilities and the need for becoming supreme inthe air.
 That position should be quickly attained to insure peace

 There will be 76 new Democrats in the next House-a block of votes which concevaby could turn the trick for any of the leading contestants for the speakershp word from the Democratic national committeethe patronage distributing agency of the administration would be needed by all of them.
 Vice President Gamers return to Washington almost month before Congress convened and his intention to stay here have aroused all sorts of speculation.
 Politicians say that is behind Cactus Jacks re- turn than merely desire to be present at the newspaper mems annual dinner They know how much he dskes Washington when Congress not in session For years he has arrived only few hours before session actually opens
 Insiders say Garner is interested in the selection of the speaker than he has been in anything for long time An odtimer of the House himself, he still numbers as his best friends those high in the inner council there
