kurusu
Continued From First Page)

cellent command of the English
language This will greatly expe-
dite the conversations which will be
opened or rather resumed with the
American authorities on his arrival.
Not a few japanese versed in Eng
lish are inclined 10 talk carelessly
merely to display their linguistic
attainments. Kurusu is not of that
class. He talks f1uently but de-
iberately.
Because of kurusus pro-Ameri-
can outlook. certain elements in ia
pan have in the past objected to
his appointment to the ambassador
ship at Washington That he is
now chosen to the very post by a
cabinet close to those very elements
seems to augur well.
KuruSu has an advantage over
Nomura in one respect, namely, that
he is career diplomat through and
through and can count on the hearty
cooperation of his colleagues and
subordinates in the foreign office.
Although the Japanese foreign
Office has been somewhat eclipsed
by the rise of the militarist elements
since the Manthurian incident of
1881, it still is CLOSED shop" and
reSentS the intrusion of an outsider
as foreign Minister or even as Am
baSsador.
Whenever retired general or
admiral or civilian politician or
businessman assumes an important
position in the Foreign Office, its
bureau chiefs and secretaries are
reluctant to cooperate with him,
even if they do not actively sabotage
him. At present Japan is repre-
sented by so-called outsiders at
Berlin, Washington and Rome. This
the career men regard as an in
fringement on their prerogatives.
The consequent lack of whole
hearted cooperation within the
diplomatic service has often proved
embarrassing. Kurusu, a senior
career diplomat, will experience no
such embarrassment.
Rendezvous Possible.
Should the renewed conversations
following Kurusu's arrival succeed
in bridging the chasm which has
so far been unbridgable between
the viewpoints of Toxic and Wash
ington, it is even possible that the
Pacific rendezvous suggested by ex-
Premier Prince Fumimaru Konoye's
personal letter to President Roose-
welt two months ago, along the lines
of the Roosevelt Churchill Atlantic
conference, may yet become a
reality.
Konoye's letter was evidently a
result of deep meditation and su-
preme resolve. No doubt he had
made up his mind to face all the
possible consequences of whatever
concessions he might have made in
order to arrive at an agreement with
President Roosevelt. No doubt he
had considered even the possible
danger of assassination as result
of such concessions.
When the suggestion made with
so grave a determination met with
a cool reception at Washington,
Konoye had no alternative but to
give up his cabinet. Whether
Konoye still entertains a desire to
meet the President in the interest
of peace can only be conjectured.

Bill Ludwig, the groaning bad
man from Syracuse, tangles with
Ginger in the featured attrac-
ton. A trainer will be at the
ringside with a spiked pole to
make sure the giant bear confines
her attentions to Ludwig.
According to her publicity man.
Ginger really can wrestle. She
uses arm locks and body slams
like an experienced grappler
and usually polishes off her play
mates with a bear hug.
The bear will be handicapped
by a muzzle and will wear nit
tens over her paws.
