AMERICAN EXPERIENCE..
Probably because of five years'
service an Japanese consul-general In New York, from 1923 to 1928, Mr. Salto speaks English with hardly any accent and with an American, rather than a British, vocabulary,
It was his fluency in English, enabling him to meet. American and British newspapermen and elther banter or discuss serious international topics with them to their own language, that helped to make him one of the most successful press liaison oMelals the Japanese Foreign Office has ever had during his term as chief of the information bureau in Tokyo during 1929 and 1980.
NAVAL CONFERENCE. Mr. Salto began his diplomatic enreer in 1910, shortly after his graduation from the law college of the Tokyo Imperial University, training school for most of the empire's diplomats, but it was 20 years later that he gained world prominence, as well as a big re- putation among his own people, by the role he played in the London naval conference of 1930.
There his abilities as a linguist, his mastery of the subject matter of the conference and a winning personality made him one of the most valuable negotiators in the Japaneso delegation, although he was not one of the plenipotentia- ries. He was, howover, the right hand of the chief delegate, Baron Wakatsuki, and proved especially useful in the difficult hotel-room negotiationa.
SPELL AT THE HAGUE. Ho obtained his first ministerial appointment early this year when appointed to the Hague.
Shortly after going to the capital of the Netherlands he negotinted a new treaty of arbitration, the first such instrument concluded by Japan with any other power following her resignation from the League of Nations,
This treaty, providing for sub- mission of nearly all disputes to arbitration, is considered by Tokyo to be the model on which it hopes to pattern several other such com pacts with the West. In an effort to convince the Occident that Japan: still wants to keep the pekce in spite of her bellicose attitude of recent years and her withdrawal from the League.
