By EDWARD W: PICKARD T Sl NHO MATSUDAIUA. the new Japanese ambassador to the I’nited States, arrived in Washington Wednes day, “with gratitude in his heart” for the preliminary welcomes lie had re ceived at San Francisco and at Chi cago, His official welcome at the cap ital will he no less warm, for he Is dis tinctly persona grata to the Fnited States government. He comes of a great historical family of Japan, as does his wife-f" speaks English well; was secretary general of the Japanese delegation to the Wri^hin^tott arms con ference; has held several Important diplomatic posts in Europe, and was vice minister of foreign affairs in the Japaneselcahinet at the time of ap pointment. In short, he is of the new school of Japanese statesmen. The ambassador's unofficial words en route across America explain why he Is wel come at the capital: “1 bring greetings from across the 1'aeitic to the people of America. I problems of the farmer. In 1024 he was opposed to the Mc.Nury-Haugen price fixing hill. The vast army of national park en- thusiastvs is anxiously awaiting a state ment by the new secretary of his policy as to the efforts of th£ forest service of the Agriculture department to wrest the control of the national parks from the national park service i ly half of these funds will he used In of the Interior department. The thou- i paving the Hi Portal road from the sands promoting the adoption of a’: park boundary to Yosemite Village, national forestry policy and -program connecting with the all-year highway also are eager for a statement. which the state Is building to El Portal —— ^ and which Is expected to double the which $410,000 Is to he spent on the Transmountain road.

In the Yosemite National park, Cali fornia, $404,000, the next largest allot ment,, will he expended. Approximate- Authorization by the national execu tive commit tee to National < 'omnmnder Janies A. Dinin'of the American Le gion to appoint a France convention travel committee has given impetus to a movement to hold the 1027 conven lion of,the Legion in Paris. Commander Drain had suggested that the year 1027 would he very suit able to bold the convention in France. That year marks the tenth miniver* sary ot America s entry into the World war nud also of the funding on French soil of the first units of the A. E. F. It had previously been suggested that the 11I2N convention he held in Paris. Final decision rests with the national con vention. 'Fhe national executive com nut tee at the same time selected October f> to 1J as tl+e dates for the seventh annual national convention of the Legion, which will he held in Omaha, Neb. Se lection of the dates had been left to the executive committee by the St. Paul convention. ' 1 Preliminary plans for the Omaha convention are far advanced, accord ing to Samuel Reynolds, chairman of the national convention work commit tee, who reported to the executive committee. He said that among the MANY BAPTISTS IN THE STATE Statistical Report Shows Over Two Hundred^Thousand in South Carolina. t T HE struggle in the senate over con-' firmnUoir of the President’s nomina tion of Charles R.

It is a lively fight, with surpris ing features. Tuesday, while Vice President Dawes., was "peacefully snoozing" at ids hotel, the senate ap proached a tie vote. A desperate ef fort was made to get Vice President Dawes there In time to break it. As Dawes entered the chamber. Overman of North Carolina, the only Democrat j who had voted for Warren, dramatical ly switched ids vote. This destroyed the tie of 40'to 40, .cinched Warren's defeat and made the automobile rush of Dawes more or less ridiculous. Whereupon the senate—at least the i anti-Warren senators, if no others— gave Dawes the "ha. ha!" They had got even with him for reading the riot act to them March 4. President Coolid*ge -Thursday sur- work in tlie Grand Canyon National park. The $140,500 allotted to Rocky Mountain National park, Colorado, will he divided between six different projects, all of them important. The famous Full River road, the highest road in the national park system, reaching an altitude of 11,797 feet on the top of Rocky mountain, and the High drive from Fall River to Moraine park will get the larger share of these funds. B , priseil everyone. Including the party have had a splendid welcome, to jmur by apaln StM>(iitts t4 ,* noralnu . shores. I am come on a mission of peace. I consider it a duty and a privilege to do all that I can to strengthen the bonds of friendship be tween the Fnited States, and Japan. There Is no question or difference of opinion that is not capable of amicable settlement' tf approached in the spirit of friendship. If tlie press of both na tions will confine itself to facts-—that will help." 4 ' T \ | ATSFDAIRA’S temper of mind is appreciated at Washington. For as Gm- new ambassador neared the ’Golden Gate he may have had glimpse of tlie great American Meet now prac ticing in the I'm ific, preparatory to starting for the much-vexed Hawaiian maneuvers and a visit to Australia and New Zealand. And it will lie re- 1 inembered under what circumstances his predecessor. Mas.mao Hanihara, de parted from Washington, ft is also easy to recall that Japan at one time strenuously protested against our I‘a- cific naval program, for this summer. The main point of the great mimic war in the Hawaiian isljtnds between the attacking "Blue" Meet and the de fending "Black" land forces Is to de cide whether the Island of Oahu, our i.a \ a I base in l he l‘aciiic. can he tie tion of Warren to the senate. It was not made public whether the President , had determined to force the fight or had acted In order to give Warren an opportunity to defend himself against senate charges. Incidentally, tlie Mich- j igan house of representatives Wednes day endorsed Warren, as a reply to the i statement of Couzehs that nine-tenths of the people of that state were hack- i ing his opposition to the confirmation. A late statement issued by Secretary 1 Sunders at the White House was this: fended against enemy attack. With Oahu in our possession, our Bacifi coast is safe from enemy attack, from the military viewpoint. Oahu can be defended against etjomv attack, pro- vided its defense is supplemented 1 by iin American tleet in the Pacific. But suppose an emergency keeps our tleet in the Atlantic that’s another,' and different story. Hence the importance of the coming Hawaiian maneuvers lienee the Importance of a Japanese ambassador who does not necessarily read into this mimic war tlie Inference that the' hypothetical "enemy attack" .s on the part of Japan and does not necessarily see in ' the “friendship visit" of Wie A me ri <Jan fleet to Aus tralia and New Zealand a combination and ( conspiracy agairtst Japan by fhe English-speaking peoples o>f ciflc.

The new representative of Germany thanked the President for the work of American citizens In ithe economic and financial reconstruction of his Country. “I gratefully recall the generous ac tivities of American citizens in social and cultural help, and the farseelng work of financial and economic recon struction, hearing ap American name which has become Tiistorlcal," lie said. “The Inst order of the deceased pres ident of the reieh was to express to you, Mr. President, his feeling of high personal esteem and Ids sincere wish for the welfare of the Uniteq—fttatts of America.” "It Is for you to Interpret to Amer ica the just aspirations of your na- "At the request of the President Mr. ^ on > sa ^ President- ( oolidge In re- Warren consented to allow his name j I'*-'- ^ ^ or • NOU to promote the un- Jo he presented again to the senate." ^ erstnni ^ nK "Well is the only sound officials would not enlarge on the an-j ,)ils * s ' 1,s t in >T peace.
