Regarding Japanese Ambassador Hirosi Saito. "Japan's Ambassador to the U. S. since 1934 has been 51-year-old Hiroshi Saito, a jovial, waspy little man who has ingratiating ways with Washington correspondents, plays poker with White House Secretary Marvin Mclntyre and prides himself on his U. S. slang. Diplomat Saito approves the establishment of a Japanese-controlled China, but is generally believed to dislike the smashing tactics the army is using to achieve it. His unpalatable task since the China war started has been to square aggressive Japan with a U. S. sympathetic to China. " -- Time Magazine, Monday, Oct. 17, 1938
