Whenever Governments changed, Darlan usually called in the newspapermen and asked them to forecast him as the next Minister of Marine.

Correspondent Young does not like Japanese ways. He does not like Japanese red tape, formality, police spying, fashions, food, housing, weather. During his 13 years in Japan he seems to have relaxed only in circles of U.S. business and newspapermen similar to the ingrowing foreign groups of Shanghai's International Settlement. Against this handicap, his position with the Japan Advertiser gave him intimate contacts with almost every section of Japanese society, and he learned Japanese...
