UNDBIWOOD BILL
PALES OIL SCANDAL,
SAYS SEN. NORRIS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Assert
‘ ing that the Underwood Muscle
Shoals bill would make “Teapot
Dome look like a pinhead,” and
“Doheny and Sinclair look like
* pikers,” Chairman Norris, of the
senate agricultural committee, told
the senate today that enactment of
the legislation would later become
known as “the rape of the treas
ury.”
“Oh, President Coolidge,” shouted
the Nebraska senator, “how can
you, just after receiving the vote of
confidence from the people, offer
this great' position to such a propo
sition? At the oars and heading
this great ship straight into Wall
Street!”
The Nebraska senator declared
the “skids had been greased and the
* steam roller brought up” to defeat
his own bill, providing government
ownership and operation. The oppo
sition to his measure, he said,
planned to turn Muscle Shoals over
to some private corporation.
, “Giving President Coolidge credit
for his honesty in every move,” he
said, “and giving Senator Under
wood the same credit, it seems the
inevitable conclusion will be that if
'this bill is enacted it will be known
as the rape of the treasury.
’ “it will make Teapot Dome look
like a pinhead. It will make Do
heny and Sinclair look like pikers.”
Underwood Answers
Senator Underwood, Democrat, Al
abama, charged during Non is
speech that an “organized filibuster
is being conducted to prevent action
on the Muscle Shoals bift.” ,
Senator Underwood warned tjte
' senate that if some bill was ndt
passed and allowed to go to the house
for passage before March 4, the wa _
ter would be allowed to go over tne
spillways and property worth $2,000,.
000 “would be dead to the world.”
“The senator,” said Mr. Under
wood, referring to Senator Norris,
“dreams of what might happen and
what has not happened. What sur-
• prisCs me is that he has attacked the
president of the United States. So
far as I am aware the president of
the United States has in no way vio
lated the constitution of the United
States as the senaor has charged.
Nor has he violaed the constitution
in advising the senate on his atti
tdue on legislation.
“I do not think,” said Mr. Under
wood, “there is any danger of the
j people of the fuutre generation giv
ing away their birthright because
we are going to lease one dam to a
private corporation under terms that
the government is to dictate.”
Senator Norris declared there
would be two kinds of corporations
at Muscle Shoals.
Two Corporations
“It will be either a public utility
< corporation, like the Alabama Power
company, or an industrial corpora
tion that would use every kilowat of
power for its own use and make
none of it available for distribu
tion.”
He declared the General Electric
company would get the property if
the Alabama Power company ob
tained it.
• "You will not cure the evil, sena
tors, if you provide that this power
will be controlled by state agen
cies,” he declared.
“It has been the history that pub
lic utilities trusts never sleep, and
in a thousand ways they control
the appointment on commissions of
men whose views are agreeable to
them,” he said-
Senator Norris declared Senator
Underwood, Democrat, Alabama, fre
quently had referred to the Norris
' bill as a power bill and the Under
wood bill as a fertilizer bill.
He asserted that although the Nor
ris bill provides for more develop
ment of power, “the Coolidge bill”
likewise provides for power develop
ment.
Deprives Power Use
But, he said, the Underwood bill
would deprive the people of the coun
try of the use of this power in dis
tribution.
k He said the Norris bill provided
for fertilizer production after the
necessary product had been pro
duced for experimentation by the
government.
He declared that if a, new fertilizer
process was produced by the govern
ment it would be given to the world
for its benefit.
If a private corporation discovers
.the process, it will have it patented
»and will build up a great “fertilizer
monopoly.’’
“Why not be honest to the Amer
ican farmer?” Why not tell him the
truth that we do not yet know, but
that we hope to discover the se
cret?" he asked.
The : mator said Nebraska had a
lower power rate than Alabama nd
although both states had a public
utilities’ commission to regulate rates
but the rates name down because a
, city built a small electric light plant
to compete with the private corpor
ation.
He pointed to Cleveland, Ohio, as
another similar Tlustration.
\ “It is not fair and it’s not con
'duciye to future efficiency of com
mittees of congress to have the work
of our committee condemned at an
outside midnight conference—either
on the Mayflower or elsewhere,”
Norris said.
“If the Underwood bill Is adopted,”
he added, “it will be possible for the
lessee to defy every single one of the
state regulatory agencies.

Mr. and Mrs. William Wrigley and their beautiful home on
Catalina Island.
As a Hanim Scaruin Youth,
He Wooed and Won Mrs.
Wrigley—Had No Fortune
Then
CHICAGO, Dec. 13. —On a steam
boat out of Philadelphia 44 years
ago a harum-scarum youth of 19
met a beautiful girl who was travel
ing with her parents.
The two struck up a friendship
which later ripened into love.
She must have liked his tempestu
ous ways. He must have wooed her
ardently.
At any rate, they were married
within the year shortly after the
young husband turned 20.
That was when the bride lost her
identity as Miss Ade E. Foote and
became Mrs. William Wrigley, Jr.
Today her husband is the chewing
gum magnate of the world and one
of the wealthiest men alive.
But when she married him almost
half a century ago he had little
more than a sterling character and
his future.
Worked for Father
The couple started keeping house
on the $lO a week that young Wrig
ley made driving a four-horse team
through the' mountains of eastern
Pennsylvania selling soap for his
father’s factory,
Os course a dollar in those days
meant far more than it does now.
But every penny had? to serve its
purpose.
And because the young wife
proved herself a capable manager
they somehow got by.
Today Wrigley, with all his mil
lions, is fond of telling how good |
home seemed back in the good old
days. „ •
He was always glad to get back to
it, he says. It was warm and clean
and there was good food on the table,
though there was not much of a
variety.
But Wrigley did not remain long
behind his horses. Soap did not of
fer the opportunity he sought.
With only S3O in his pocket he
launched out to see the world.
By the time that mbve was made
his family had increased.
A. little daughter had arrived.
All three arrived in Chicago and
settled in modest quarters.
Wrigley had the vision. His wife
gave him the needed encouragement.
In his dream of conquest he won.
Today he spends millions yearly
for advertisnig alone. He owns a
ball team, an island paradise off the
California coast, beautiful homes
and is a director in countless en
terprises, including banks, steam
boat lines, taxi companies and
mines.
Wrigley says he never has had
home troubles unloaded on him un
til he was fed and rested. His wife
says that her “Billie” was always
interested and always trying to be
helpful about the home.
He took an interest in her clothes
and hats. And this is to be noted.
When he criticized an unfortunate
millinery purchase of hers, he al
ways accepted the challenge to help
select a new hat, says Mrs. Wrig
ley.
Island Home
The Catalina island home of the
Wrigley’s is named “Mountada.”
Out there they call her “Queen
of the Island.”
They turn out the band and the
whole population runs down to the
pier whenever the king and queen
come home.
That isn’t the way she feels or
acts, however. It is a kindly lady
who steps off the boat wishing
wouldn’t make such a fuss.
Her tastes ar© simple. Her synT
pathy is tender. She feels deeply
for those who are having the strug
gle that she came through.
“Mountada” overlooks Avalon bay
in the Pacific from a hill that is
terraced with the gorgeous blooms
of California.
There is a winding road and a
long flight of steps that leads up
to the porch where Mrs. Wrigley
loves to sit with her inseparable bit
of needlework.
Sews Constantly
She always has that little sewing
bag with her. On fishing trips or
excursions about the island her
needle is constantly flying.
It may be cushions for the boat or
draperies for the little community
church that she is making. Some
times it’s linen for the hospital
which she built and gave to the is
land city.
You see Mrs. Wrigley just can't
stop working. She had to work be
fore her husband made his millions
and now the habit persists.
In addition to the daughter,
Dorothy, who is married to a Chi
cago patent attorney, Mrs. Wrigley
has a son.
His name is Philip K. Be is mar
ried. And there are young grand
children in both families.
Philip is the original Wrigley's
GOVERNOR DENIES
APPEALS TO SAVE
BOYS FROM ROPE
* (Continued from Page 1)
as officials we are bound to uphold
the law', and see that ‘justice is done,
though the heavens fall.’
“ Tn Eberhart v. State, 47, Ga. 598,
GOO, Judge McCay, speaking for the
court, we'l and forcefully said:
“It gives us great pain to be com
pelled by our sense of duty to the
law and to the public, to affirm this
. judgment. We have, however, no
! sympathy with that sickly sentimen
tality that springs into action when
ever a criminal is at length about to
suffer for crime. It may be a sign
of tender heart, but it is also a sign
of one not under proper regulation.
Society demands that crime shall be
punished and criminals warned, and
the false humanity that starts and
shudders when the ax of justice is
ready to strike is a dangerous ele
ment for the peace of society. We
have had too much of this mercy.
It is not true mercy. It only looks
to the criminal; but we must insist
upon mercy to society, upon justice
to the poor woman whose blood cries
out against her murderers. That
criminals go unpunished is a dis
grace to our civilization, and we
have reaped the fruits of it in the
frequency with which bloody deeds
occur. A stern, unbending, unflinch
ing administration of the penal laws,
without regard to position or sex, as
it is the highest mark of civilization,
is also the surest mode to prevent
the commission of offenses.
‘lf law and order are to reign in
Georgia, the criminal must be taught
that the violation of the law will be
promptly and properly punished. No
sufficient reason has been submitted
to me for interfering with the judg
ment of the court in the due process
of law and the application for clem
ency is, therefore, denied.”
Youths Were Respited
The youths, who were sentenced
to hang on November 28. were given
a respite by Governor Walker until
January 9 so that an appeal migh’
be made for commutation to life im
prisonment. The supreme court has
upheld their conviction and action
by the governor now removes their
only hope.
A new development was brought
out in the hearing- before the gover
nor. yb.-ti Mrs. Addie Jones, mother
of V. iilie Jones, admitted that hei
?on bad been married three years.
Her statement was in answer to a
question asked during a controversy
over Jones’ age. The defense con
tends that Jones is Is and Blood
worth 19; the state asserts that
Jones is 23 and Bloodworth 21. Mrs.
Jones said Willie married when he
was 15 years old and lived with his
wife only five weeks, after which
she deserted him. the is said to be
employed in a cotton mill in Taylor
county.
’I he youths based their appeal f'r
clemency on the ground that their
did not permit them realize
the enormity of their crime, an»l that
their conviction was due partly to
the jury's fear of possible mob vio
lence.
Solicitor General Walter R. Flour
ttoj, of the Chattahoochee circuit
and Attorney C. F. McLaughlin, of
Columbus, appeared for the state bo
fore the prison commission and the
governor.
Attorneys Homer Beeland of Key.

V. S. Underwood, brother of the
murdered man. appealed before the

Governor Walker. Mrs. Jones ac

GOMPERS IS BURIEO
AT SLEEPY HOLLOW:
LAST TRIBUTE PAID
TARRYTOWN, N. Y.. Doc. 18.—
Under leaden skies with a fine mist
falling upon the assembled throng
of mourners the body of Samuel
Gompers was laid to rest this after
noon in the ancient cemetery at
Sleepy Hollow—a. spot made famous
by Washington Irving.
Services at the grave were the
time-honored ritualistic ceremonies
of Free Masons, conducted by the
officers of St. Cecile lodge, of New
York City.
The grave of the I'ate leader of
American labor is on a knoll com
manding a view of the Hudson river.
The grave today is banked high with
many hundreds of floral tributes
sent by labor organizations, fraternal
orders and friends from all sections
of the country.
1M I* R ESS IV ES E R VIC E
HELI) AT NEW YORK
NEW YORK, D€c. IS.—lmpressive
funeral services were held today for
Samuel Gompers at the Elks club
after which the body was taken by
automobile to Tarrytown for inter
ment in historic Sleepy Hollow ceme
tery.
The great assembly hall of New
York lodge, No 1, draped in the
mourning purple of the order, was
crowded to capacity with co-workers
and friends of the late president of
the American Federation of Labor.
In the throng were men high in the
state and city.
Fifteen hundred persons unable to
gain admittance to th& hall assemb
led in the town hall across the street
and heard the services by radio.
Other thousands stood reverently in
nearby streets, held in line by de
tails of police.
Officers of the lodge, headed by
Sol Tekulsky, the exalted ruler,
marched into the hall and conducted
the obituary ritual of the fraternity.
Each officer wore a carnation, the
badge of mourning.
Rabbi Wise Delivers Eulogy ’
The simple Jewish ritual for the
dead was intoned by Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise. The service began by the
reading in Hebrew of the Twenty
third Psalm. Other verses from the
Bible were in English.
In the eulogy that followed, Dr.
Wise said:.
“Among all the characterizations
of Samuel Gompers I have come
upon, none is more fitting than
‘Frontiersman.’ For Samuel Gomp
ers was a pioneer, rugged rather
than suave firm rather than con
ventional. Pioneer was he in’ the
military sense, for his was the mili
tant mood; and throughout his life
he was a battler. As a pioneer
Gompers fought for a great cause,
not for larger wage or added com
fort, but for a freer and fuller dfe
for the toilers of the nation—which
could not be without these instru
mentalities of life and freedom.
Had More Than One Ideal
Concentrating upon and conse
crated to his purpose, he was unlike
the pioneer in that he was a man
of more than one ideal and more
than one loyalty. Long will men
remember the ardor with which he
espoused the cause of international
peace, seeing it on high ground and
for the highest ends. In his quest
of international understanding he
gave generous support and ardent
loyalty to the greatest of the friends
of man in our day, Woodrow Wil
son.
“Serving most the cause of organ
ized labor, he best served America.
“To this once immigrant
America was not a habit but ar,
ideal; not a birthright possession, but
a religion. America re-made this
youthful and unafraid immigrant.”
Gompers’ Last Message Told
James Duncan, vice president of
the American Federation of Labor,
in his eulogy gave to organized labor
what he said was the last message
of Mr. Gompers.
When Mr. Gompers realized that
the end was near, said Mr. Duncan,
he summoned him to his bedside
and said:
“Give them this message: Say to
them that as I kept the faith, 1 ex
pect them to keep the faith. They
must carry on. No union man with
a card can be a good citizen unless
he upholds American insttutions.
And he is a poor citizen if he does
not uphold American institutions.”
Mrs. Gompers, heavily veiled, en
tered the hall with members of the
family before the services began and
occupied a seat near the bronze
casket which rested before the sta
tion of the exalted ruler. She wept
during the solemn ritualistic cere
monies of the Elks when the hands
of the clock were lighted at 11
o’clock, the mystic hour of remem
brance for departed members. The
organ softly played “Auld Lang
Syne” during this section. A quar
tet sang “ThJ Vacant Chair.”
The organ played Chopin’s funeral
march at the conclusion of the cere
monies. As the casket was carried
into the street to the waiting hearse
many thousands of persons gathered
and bared their heads. The police
had difficulty keeping the streets
clear.
The procession turned north into
Broadway. Traffic on this busy thor
oughfare was diverted. Thousands
lined the sidewalks and bared their
heads as the procession passed.
Outside the city limits, state troop
ers were waiting to escort the body
Senate Committee
Employe Is Charged
With Taking Bribe
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18. The
department of justice has begun an
investigation into charges that an
employe of a senate committee has
accepted money to use his influence
in aiding in the passage of legisla
tion.
Attorney General Stone announc
ed today that it had been revealed
that money actually had passed but
he declined to indicate the legisla
tion concerned or to identify the
employe suspected.
The attorney general also refused
to intimate from what source the
charges had come.
Asked if President Coolidge’s at
tention had been called to the re
ports. Mr. Stone said be had no
knowledge of that phase of the
| question.
Some senators were reported at
i the capitol as having expressed the
i belief that the president should be
advised of the alleged bribery and
the belief prevailed in some quar
ters that this had taken place, and
that Mr. Coolidge had called it to
the attention of the attorney gen
eral.
Mr. Stone has had several con
ferences with the president in the
last twenty-four hours and each of
them, he explained, when he left

COLQUITT COUNTY’S UNIQUE
SETTLEMENT PLAN ALREADY
BEARING ABUNDANT FRUIT
North Carolina Tobacco
Fanners, Particularly, Are
Attracted to Land of Prom
ise Co-operative Spirit
Reigns
RY RALPH SMITH
MOULTRIE, Ga., Dec. 17.—See
ing is believing, ond by that token
“we believe in Colquitt county,”
just as firmly and proudly as do the
stalwart business men in Moultrie.
Norman Park and Doerun, whose
slogan has just been quoted. These
men are today engaged in the most
unique and successful immigration
campaign ever attempted in Geor- j
gia—a campaign founded on a trim j
ity of elements, faith, devotion and I
altruism.
The faith is born of conviction
that Colquitt county is in fact the
home-owners’ paradise, and these
home-owners are devotedly deter
mined and united in a purpose to
share their blessings with desirable
home-seekers from other sections.
The utter absence of selfishness
from the movement makes it unique
in the annals of such developments.
It is a community undertaking, in
which the individual is entirely ef
faced from the equation. The ele
ment of personal profit or gain is
wholly eliminated. No man is seek
ing an advantage over his neighbor
in the big settlement work, and no
prospective settler is in the remotest
danger of being gouged or victim
ized.
“All for One, One for AH”
“All for one, and one for all,”
‘that’s the Colquitt county motto.
It holds good in Moultrie, in Doe
run, in Norman Park, whither pros
pective home-seekers are turning in
increasing numbers.
The stranger within Colquitt’s
gates is assured of the same fair,
courteous terms and treatment as
apply in trades between natives; in
deed, the stranger has the advan
tage over the local citizen right
now, because, under the agreement,
the stranger is relieved of the pay
ment of the usual fees, commis
sions, costs, etc., of real estate
transactions. In a word, brokers’
commissions have been eliminated,
and only lands are being offered for
sale to which the titles have been
perfected.
Every available parcel of distress
or salable land in the county is
under option to the Colquitt Cham
ber of Commerce, and the options
continue for a year. All of it is
priced in plain figures and all of it
is priced below the usual average
that has obtained heretofore in Col
quitt county for lands of the char
acter being offered for sale.
The prospective buyer deals only
with the chamber of commerce. He
has no interest in the immediate
owner of the land, and, as remarked,
between the owners of the various
lands that are listed at the chamber
of commerce, there is no rivalry
whatever. Os course, if a prospec
tive buyer desires to confer with
the owner of a piece of land that
appeals to him he is afforded every
opportunity for such conference and,
obviously, the chamber of com
merce has no concern over the terms
of settlement that may be concluded
between the buyer and seller.
Opportunity for Trial
A singular and persuasive feature
of the Colquitt county plan is a
provision in the land options that
in the event a “prospect” doesn’t
care to buy, for one reason or an
other, he may rent the land as a
share cropper, or for straight rental,
with an option to purchase next
year with no advance in price. This
is a highly important provision,
since it enables the man who has
any misgivings about the fertility of
the soil, its adaptability to a par
ticular crop, or its productivity, to
give it a thorough test.
From the foregoing outline it is
obvious that Colquitt county is nsr
engaged in a real estate promotion,
but that the underlying object is
the development of the county
through thb attraction as perma
nent residents of persons who wTJ
contribute to the mutual and ma
terial prosperity of the community
in return for the comforts and hap
piness they derive from their resi
dence.
It is well enough to discuss the
altruism of the motives that under
lie the development, here, but that
doesn’t explain how and -why the
prospects are induced to visit Col
quitt county, yet the methods that
are being used to attract settlers
are perhaps the strongest recommen
dation of the entire plan.
Tobacco Growers Attracted
Colquitt county stands out as a
pioneer in the use of motion pic
tures as a means of advertising its
advantages, and just now the immi
gration movement under way is at
tracting scores of successful tobac
ct growers from North Carolina and
many “mixed crop farmers” from
the middle west, particularly lowa.
At Moultrie Tuesday there were
thirty five or forty North Carolina
farmers who had arrived the day
before in a motor bus one of several
that ihe Colon!;ouni • C?>m,Lfer
of Commerce is operating between
th? tobacco -belt of the Tar Heel
state- and Mou'trie, bringing here
men who are anxious to see for
themselves lands that are more prof
itable for bright tobacco than those
of their native heath.
The interest of these North Caro
linians was first intrigued by the
exhibition in the public schoolhouses
of the Piedmont section of Colquitt
county's moving picture. This pic
ture. by the way, inspired the sug
gestion at the outset that “seeing
is believing,” for yesterday it was
my privilege to view this picture,
and having seen it, it i s not diffi
cult to understand why farmers from
afar are flocking to Colquitt.
Carolinians Convinced
The picture was shown scores and
scores of times in North Carolina,
and on nine different occasions the
two reels were run a second time
by special request of audiences that
had marveled at the productivity of
the soil and the manifest advan
tages of Colquitt county as a home
site.
After the North Carolinians had
beep introduced to Colquitt county
on the screen, representatives of the
chamber of commerce made arrange
ments for the operation of motor
busses from Carolina points to Moul
trie, to bring down farmers disposed
to look further into the advantages
of Colquitt county for tobacco pro
duction.
The immigration drive had been

directed at North Carolina particu
larly because it has recently been
emonstrated beyond all peradventure
that the lands of Colquitt county are
better adapted for the production of
bright tobacco than the famed Pied
mont section of Carolina. The Caro
lina farmers themselves confirm this
belief. They are convinced from per
sonal investigation that Colquitt
county lands, and lands in adjoining ’
counties of southwest Georgia, are
better suited to tobacco production
than any other soil in the country.
For instance, not one, but a dozen
tobacco farmers, told me at Moultrie
that whereas the average yield ini
Carolina today is about 800 pounds!
to the acre, the Colquitt county lands
will produce an average of 1,500 J
pounds of as good or better tobacco.'
Moreover, the Colquitt county lands
range in price from $25 to SIOO an
acre, whereas the Carolina lands run
from S6O to $l5O an acre.
Land Free of Wilt f
But the fact that the Colquitt lands
are more productive of toba £bo is I
only one of several considerations
that are influencing the ' influx of,
Carolina farmers. The season down
here is further advanced and far I
shorter than the Carolina season. Up j
there it lasts a full twelve months;!
down here, a full crop may be pro
duced, cured and marketed within
eight months at the outside. That
gives the tobacco grower time for
other things—a crop of peas and
spare time in which to produce hogs
and cattle.
There is a striking similarity be
tween the tobacco soil of North
Carolina and the soil in Colquitt
county that has yielded so abundant
ly of bright tobacco. In appearance,
there seems little difference in the
gray, sandy loam, with yellow clay
subsoil of Colquitt county, and the
lands of Carolina, but there is this
very important difference: the Col
quitt land is free of wilt, and that
isn’t true in Carolina.
It is the confident belief of the
Couquitt County Chamber of Com
merce that within a year no fewer
than 1,000 new families will have
migrated from Carolina to Colquitt,
and that, too, is the belief of many
Carolinians who already have made
arrangements to settle here.
But the sale of lands to tobacco
farmers is only one feature of the
program. The motion picture that
has stimulated so much interest
among North Carolinians in Colquitt
county is arousing just as much in
terest and attention in lowa, where
it is now being shown.
Tuesday, I saw a number .of let
ters from lowa farmers to the
chamber of commerce, seeking more
detailed and definite information
about the Colquitt plan, and 1
learned, too, that next week a doz
en lowa farmers will arrive at
Moultrie to make investigations on
their own account.
One of the most impressive fea
tures of the activity here is that
while the movement was launched
primarily to develop Colquitt coun
ty, the men behind it apparently are
just as much interested in bringing
farmers to other sections of south
Georgia. They make no extrava
gant claims for Colquitt which they
do not admit apply in some measure
to other counties in this section.
The lands are much the same, so is
the climate, and so, indeed, are the
people.
Markets
Colquitt modestly points to what
the people believe to be their su
perior advantages for marketing
their crops notably the Swift
& Co. packing house, the cream
ery. the co-operative poultry asso
ciation and other things at Moultrie,
but they are willing that adjoining
counties of the section shall share
these.
The plan as originated here has
the support of every interest in the
county. The bankers, the railroads,
the merchants, the farmers them
selves are in hearty accord. AH of
them have contributed to the gen
eral fund for financing the promo
tion, and each stands ready to lend
a helping hand in encouraging the
success of the movement.

11. S.-JAP FRICTION
ENTIRELY REMOVED, I
WASHINGTON SAYS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—(Ry the]
Associated Press.)—The Washington I
government, whose officials have j
been puzzled and somewhat disturbed I
by agitation over American-Japanese
relations, took occasion today to for
mally bespeak an era of “the most |
cordial relations’ ’between the two I
countries.
Departing from precedent, Secre
tary Hughes issued a formal state
ment taking notice of the appoint
ment of Tsuneo Matsudaira as the
new Japanese ambassador here, and
welcoming him to this country as a
step toward a further cementing of
friendship between Tokio and Wash
ington.
Particular color wag attached to j
the secretary’s action in view of the
known conviction of the administra
tion that agitation of questions in
which the two countries have a com
mon interest has fostered a popular
feeling that their relations are not
on the best footing. Officals here
take the view that such a fear is
absolutely groundless and that in
fact no troublesome issues now are
pending with the government at
Tokio.
State department attaches were ;
unable to recall when an announce- I
ment similar to that of Secretary
Hughes had been issued after notifi
e .tion of the appointment of a new
ambassador to Washington. The
secretary’s statement said:
“Not only is Mr. Matsudaira a
diplomat of most distinguished serv
ice. but Japan has paid us a signal ■
honor in selecting as her ambassa
dor to this post a man who through
himself and hi.s wife represents two
of the most important and historic
ally famous families of the empire.
“I am convinced that we can look
forward now to the most cordial re- j
lations with Japan and that these
relations will be greatly facilitated
by the mission of Mr. Matsudaira.”
This statement was prefaced by
the state department with the fol
lowing paragraph, referring to an
Associated Press dispatch from To
kio, in which Mr. Matsudaira con
firmed his own appointment and de
clared he also looked forward to a
period of close friendship between
the two governments:
“When the attention of the secre
tary of state was called to a report
in the press of this morning regard
ing the appointment of Mr. Tsueno
Matsudaira a.s Japanese ambassador
