The Lincoln Memorial and its_dis- tant setting of Japanese cherry blos- soms was held as symbolical of the friendship between the United States and Japan by Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira of Japan, in his first pub- 1 Iress in Washington at the an- banquet of the Washington Ad- vertising Club at the Mayflower Hotel last night. “This dinner, bolic of simplicity. or showy. Even when it crowns a giant tree, for cherry trees attaln magnificent dimensions, it never blazes the sky with dazzling hu Its pale pink sta for modesty and serenity. Moreover, this blossom appears to us to carry with it a note of democracy. “In Japan cherry trees thrive wel everywhere. At this time of the year you will find every city. town and hamlet rejoicing in’ this glorious gift of nature. Even in days of feudalism, when class feeling was running high. masses of people, without distinetion, high and low, rich and poor, young and old, used to gather under the bright and graceful blossoms and freely give themselves to the merri- ment of the season. There class in- terests were lald aside, and instead pirit of equality and fraternity prevailed “Not_long after my arrival in this great Capital I had an occasion one day to pay homage to the shrine ded- cated to the spirit of your great mar- yred President, Abraham Lincoln.

It will not, therefore, be tnappropriate for me to say a few words about that beautiful flower, which has a very deep significance to us Japanese. “From time immemorial the cherry blossom has been our national flower the symbol of our national char- acteristic, of the soul of our natio Tn the feudal days, when chivalry qwas in flower, it Wwas a common say- inzg among our people that cherry is gueen among flowers, so the samural, or knight, is lord among men “We Japanese view the cherry| blossom in such a spirit of admiration and reverence. | “The cherry blossom to us is sym- {3 et ibmmaif.

Wish Countrymen Could See. “Would that my countrymen, every one of them, witness that inspiring spectacle of that noble memorial, environed by cherry trees which send forth every Spring their array of beauteous flowers, as if to offer their simple, vet sincere, tribute to the spirit which is enshrined there in the hearts of a hundred million Americans! “It was a very good fortune for me that I was privileged to see that ennobling spectacle not long after my arrival at my new post. 1 saw in this impressive sight a_happy combi- nation of the spirit of America, as represented by that memorial, and the soul of Japan as expressed in those flowers, demonstrating a spirit- ual union betwken our two great nations. “This is, indeed, a very happy augury for the further growih of cor- dial relations now happily uniting us. You have an English saying to the effect that ‘one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.' Good people the world over love beauty as they love truth and honor. They love friend ship between nations as between in- dividuals.
