JAPANESE ENVOY

to Report Little Head
way in U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hirosi Saito, japanese Ambassador
to Washington, sails today from San
Francisco to report to Toxic that he
has made little headway in selling"
several Japanese proposals to the
Roosevelt administration.
State Department officials have
never admitted that Saito made even
cautious overtures concerning Japan's
desire to negotiate a conciliation or
aggression pact with the United
States. In answer to questions based
on Toxic dispatches. however, Sec
retary Hull did announce the United
States had not considered entering
into any bilateral non-aggression
agreement with any nation. Amer
ican officials believe the Kellogg
BRAND agreement fully covers the
question.
Japan's claims Of guardianship over
Asian interests, which created q
furore in world capitals some weeks
ago, also failed to alter the American
policy of maintaining the spirit and
letters of treaties.
The question OF recognition Of
Manchukuo was another which the
Ambassador never pushed openly at
the State Department, but which ne
did discuss Informally with members
of Congress. The United States mas
never recognized the Jspanese-spon-
sored empire and Saito learned that
it is no nearer according recognition
now.
Saito has been one OF the busiest
members Of the diplomatic corps, CALL
ing at the State Department. visiting
the White House and talking with
members Of Congress. Aside from the
ban on japanese immigration, no sub
lect discussed is considered a ques-
ton at issue between the two nations.
