IMPORTANT POST
VISCOUNT SAITO. APPOINTED
' (Received December 27, 2.20 p.m.) - LONDON, December 26. "The Times" Tokio correspondent states that the ex-Premier, Viscount Sailo, has been appointed Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal in succession to Count Makino, who has retired for reasons of health. Count Makino's moderation earned the bitter hostilities of the reactionaries, who realised that his position enabled him to advise the Emperor on the highest matters. A young officer bombed Count Makino's house in 1932 and his name appeared in every list of prospective victims planned by so-called patriotic assassins, Yet his firmness was largely responsible for*the maintenance of.the Constitution against officers' plots and Fascist agitations. . Viscount Saito belongs to the same moderate school.'
