A HANIHARI EXPIRES 4 IN RETIREMENT Former Japanese Ambas- gador, Recalled, Just Re- cently Defended Position. By the Assoclated Press. TOKIO, December 20.—Masanao Hanihari, 58, who was recalled as Ambassador to the United States in 1924 because of a letter referring to “grave consequences” should the Jap- anese exclusion bill be passed, died today of arterio-sclerosis. ‘The letter, written to Secretary of State Hughes, spurred Congress to- ward passage of the bill. It was re- garded as having ruined Hanihari's career. Bince his return from his two-year stay in Washington he has lived in retirement. The former ambassador discussed the incident at his last public ap- pearance, in 1930, at & dinner in honor of Willlam R. Castle, jr., on the latter's retirement as special American Ambassador to Japan. “In that incident,” Hanihari said, “the ambassador of a friendly power, whose warmth of friendship and the high regard for the government and people to whom he was accredited, was ever widely known and accepted, was gratuitously accused of using a wvelled threat against that country. “One thing must be said to dispel the popular misconception of the true nature of that regrettable incident. It is not s0 much a question whether one nation should or should not exer- cise its sovereign rights in regulating matters relating to its domestic af- fairs * * * rather it is a question of whether one people should treat an- other people sympathetically, fairly or unfairly.” Firestone Recovered.
