a a a a a a a BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1932 2 3 Makes Debuchi's Job Embarrassing 'Blindfolded' by Tokio, Envoy to U. S. Falls Back on Personality Eagle Bureau, By HENRY SUYDAM Washington, Feb. 10-The man who has the least pleasant and the most difficult post in the service of the Government of Japan at the present moment is Katsuji Debuchi, Ambassador to the United States. Throughout past five months, since the invasion of Manchuria, Mr.

Debuchi's job has been one of extreme embarrassment. The assurances of -aggression sent him from Tokio have been often contra- licted through subsequent attacks on Chinese towns and cities. Mr. Debuchi informed our Government 1 a st week, for example that Japan would send I no troops to Shanghai. It later developed a the troops a sailed from Japan before this assurance was given to he United States.

The Foreign Office neglected to cable the fact Katsuji Debuchi Katsuji Debuchi English. Had Wide Experience to the Ambassador. So it goes. Despite the difficulties that beset him, Ambassador Debuchi maintains a calm smiling exterior. If he resents sonde of the comment that has appeared in American newspapers, it is not apparent in his contact with American newspapermen.

One of Ablest Diplomats Katsuji Debuchi came to WashIngton in 1928. He is recognized AS one ablest diplomats of Japan. Washington assignindicates the high regard in which his government holds, him. The Ambassadors Ministers of Japan are "career" men, upon whose tenure of office changes of political parties have no effect. Parties in Japan lose or gain control, but for Japanese diplomats these shifts have little more than an academic interest.

The ese foreign service remains outside the arena of politics. The job of a Japanese Ambassador is to represent his government, whether that government is pacific or militaristic. The Ambassador at Washington 1s a good example of the successful Japanese diplomat. He was born of an ancient Samurai house in 1878. He was graduated from the Tokio College of Commerce in 1902.

As the name implies, the curriculum is arranged to train men for commerce and the industries. This college devotes attention to training men for the diplomatic and consular services, as well. All students Young Debuchi entered the diplomatic service soon as he was graduated. In 1907 he was sent to In March, 1918, he was assigned to Berlin, later, transferred to Pekin. Washington, where he a was soon made counsellor.

Mr. Debuchi remained in this important post until 1920 when he was again sent to Berlin with this higher In the Autumn of repanthe turned to Washington as technical advisor, to the Japanese delegation conference on the limitation of armaments. He participated in the negotiations between China and Japan for the evacuation of Shantung, and served as press officer for Japan's delegates. In this post he came into contact with American and foreign newspaper correspondents. In 1923 Mr.

Debuchi went to Tokio to head the most important division in the Foreign Office-the Asiatic bureau. In 1924 he was appointed Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. His appointment as Ambassador to the United States recognition of the importance of the American post in future development of Japanese policies. Mr. Debuchi was familiar with the American scheme of government, with American newspapers, with American public opinion, and with hundreds of individual Americans of all classes.

Is a Good Mixer No American was ever a better mixer. He has a large and various social life at the capital; he travels about the United States delivering speechs to all sorts of gatherings. He has a disarming smile, a quick perception of American humor and an engaging manner. His wife is the daughter of Dr. Kikuchi, one of the best-known lawyers in Tokio.

The Debuchis have two children, a son and a daughter, almost grown, both of whom are in American colleges. Not the least important function of the Japanese diplomatists at Washington is to supply their Foreign Office with news 'of current American developments, as well as trend of American public opinion. During the Manchurian crisis and the subsequent events at Shanghai, it has been apparent that Mr. Debuchi's representations as to the trend American public opinion, as well as to the attitude of our Government, were not exercising the slightest influence on the policies of the militaristic faction at Tokio. If the Ambassador has a personal opinion as to the wisdom of his government's action egainst China, he is careful not to express it.

He bland. deprecating, and even voluble in his attempts to disclaim aggressive intentions on the part of Japan, to picture Japan's activities as measures of economic self-defense, rather than as political advancement. His personal qualities are such as to render him popular under all circumstances. To the extent that the influence of one man could mitigate the policies of his government, Mr. Debuchi has been successful in presenting the Japanese case in some perspective.

Through 14 days of fighting the international peace plan and various attempted local truces have failed, and there seems little the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy can do but keep up their representations to Japan against the dangers to the International Settlement and the French Concession.

While it is clear the United States would not. to demilitarization of the principal Chinese ports, a temporary establishment of a neutral zone about Shanghai to restore peace pending a permanent adjustment of differences might fall into a different category.

State Bank Suits To Recover Illegal City Tax Expected Association Members Are Told Public National Decision Benefits Them The New York State Bankers Association today informed members that the recent settlement reached with New York City on taxes collected illegally from 1923 to 1926 from national banks indicates that similar settlement claims will be made by State banks. State banks, the association points out. "would seem to have an equal right of recovery on the grounds that, under the recent decision of a suit brought by the Public National Bank, the shares of both national and State banks were classified together for taxation purposes and that a tax being invalid as a part of the class it is invalid AS to the whole under the Fourteenth Amendment, to the United States Constitution." The Public National Bank of New York brought action in the Federal Court to enjoin the receiver of taxes from collecting the New York tax assessed against the shareholders upon the theory that the shares were taxed at a greater rate than was actually assessed on other competing moneyed capital. They won the suit, which was carried successfully through to the United Supreme Court, which affirmed the decision of the lower court Dec. 31, 1931.

Curry behind the Wigwam's attempts to strand the city investigation on the reef of legal technicalities.

Curry was interested in William F. Doyle, Tammany's $2,000,000 horse doctor and zoning specialist. Doyle, should no agency have intervened, was on the verge of entering jail doors for defiance of the probers. The Tammany boss picked up the telephone. Despite the fact that Presiding Justice Finch of the Appellate Division was instantly available, Curry chose to make a long distance call to Appellate Division Justice Henry L.

Sherman, at Lake Placid. The hearing on which Doyle's stay pending review was granted was set with Seabury given no opportunity to oppose it. Curry testified before Seabury that his organization's aid was available to "any Democrat" menaced by the inquiry. MAYOR WALKER AND THE TAMMANY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS DO NOTHING. WILL GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT DO SOMETHING? Stock, Gas Tax Rises Voted Continued from Page 1 388.000.

This as well as other decreases which I shall discuss later herein are not cuts at all. Sees False Economy "These people whom you are forcing to join the ranks of the unemployed by your proposed action will make the problems of the local communities more difficult. No one will be deceived by false claims of economy. If you take it out of this budget, you will later have to care for an additional and aggreviated a situation. "These 13,345 men are not going to be able to find jobs any, place else.

There are almost one million ahead of them now waiting for jobs, who have been waiting for many months. Local municipalities, local charities and the State itself are all straining to the utmost to give these enough jobs, enough food and clothing to carry on temporarily. "By your action your are merely adding thousands of more men to be taken care of in the same way. Ultimately the community will have to take care of them. Lay no claims to economy, when every one realizes that the same amount of money, and more, than you are saving by these cuts will have to be spent later on.

"What kind cf example is the State about to show private business? "How can you and I appeal to private enterprise to carry on its deflation activities with as little loss of employment as possible, when you, yourselves, insist upon the State throwing out of employment thousands of its own citizens by this drastic cut in highway moneys. "All that I have said in connection with the cuts which you propose to make in highway construction applies with equal force to these cuts in parkway construction. Your action is going to throw additiona! thousands of people out. of employment." Against Stock Tax Rise The Republicans who voted in the negative on the stock transfer bill were Mastick of Westchester, Webb Dutchess. Thayer of Essex, Hewitt of Cayuga, Campbell of Niagara and Wicks of Ulster.

All the Democrats voted yes. The gas tax bill brought negative votes from 14 Republicans and two Democrats. Palmer of Richmond and Wojtkowiak of Erie. Senator Mastick, explaining his opposition to doubling the stock transfer tax. said the bill would not bring even as much as a one-cent increase would net.

"because of the economic law of diminishing returns." Fearon Explains Gas Tax Explaining the gas tax bill, Senator George R. Fearon, majority leader, said the Governor's measure calling for a 4-cent tax had been trimmed to 3 cents by a $21,000,000 cut in his budget. "Nobody likes to increase taxes." he said, "and if a 2-cent increase is bad, a 1-cent increase is only half as bad." Senator John J. Dunnigan, minority leader, swung all but two of his votes behind the Republican bill on the theory that half a loaf is better than no bread at all. "The Legislature reduced it by 1 cent." he said, "and then alibied itself by slashing the Governor's budget.

We will discuss that In a statement released before the budget debate got under way, Dunnigan accused the majority of cutting the budget "purely for selfish and political reasons." He said the Republican party was motivated solely by, a desire "to dump into the lap the Governor all the trouble and embarrasment Lehman Late; Vexed By Fearon Taking Job Eagle Bureau, Capitol Building. Albany, Feb. 10-Lieut. Gov. Lehman, usually the most placid of men, lost his temper this morning because the Senate convened without waiting for him.

When Lehman arrived five minutes late, he found Senator George R. Fearon, majority leader, in the chair, dispatching preliminary business of the day. Walking hurriedly to the rostrum, Lehman rapped sharply and explained: "It seems to me, in view of the many courtesies extended house by the presiding officer, that the house in turn might have given him the courtesy of five minutes' delay while he completed some State business." "If the market was bad when he got on the telephone this morning and he was a little upset." said Fearon, "I hope he will take it out on the gods that control the fortunes of the market and not on the poor majority leader." they can." and that the results of the Presidential and Gubernatorial elections this year will show the weakness of their policy. One of the most controversial subjects in the budget has been settled by the decision to restore to the Long Island Sate Park Commission half the $3,000.000 it lost in the pruning process. This money will be made up out of reallocated bond issue moneys.

The most bitterly fought tax question has been put over for a week following the public hearing yesterday at which more than 500 protestants filled the Assembly chamber and denounced the bill tripling the registration fees of heavy motor trucks and buses to bring the State an additional $12,000,000 annually. So emphatic was the protest that the leaders of both parties have agreed to confer next week with the representatives of the bus and trucking interests to compose a more equitable scale for the new taxes.

Flynn, Bronx Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, sought by Samuel Seabury's process servers since Monday last walked into the Hofstadter Committe's headquarters shortly after 10 a.m. today. He was expected to be questioned further about large amounts of money he is said to have accumulated from other sources than his city salary. But he wasn't questioned. After half an hour with Irving Ben Cooper, Seabury's assistant, he came out with a subpena in his hand.

He "didn't like." he said, the attitude of Mr. Cooper, and he had stood on his right-which on previous occasions ne had waived--of having a member of the legislative committee present.

"I have been a public official 15 years and I can't be granted this ordinary courtesy. Well, they're the doctors. I'll do what they say.

But this is the eighth been here. I have freely testified. They have gone over my whole career to the nth degree, private business and my public business."

He telephoned then, however, and asked to be excused because of illness. Cooper suggested Tuesday afternoon as a substitute time, but Flynn explained that he would have to attend a Board of Estimate meeting then.

When the investigator found no such meeting scheduled, he sent process servers up to the Bronx. Waiting in front of Flynn's home at 35 McClellan Ave. this morning, Peter Arrow, a process server, saw Flynn's three daughters step out of a limousine. He followed them and asked for Flynn. One of the three said, "Wait minute." and returning five minutes 'later added: "You don't need to worry.
