Title: Crowds at "Sambashi" pier, Yokohama, Japan awaiting the return of the ashes of Ambassador Hirosi Saito.
Caption: Mr. Saito served as Ambassador to the U.S.A. February 1934 to October 1938. He was highly esteemed in diplomatic circles for his efforts to maintain peace and oppose Japan's rising militarists. Thus, when he died in Washington, D.C., on 26 February 1939 President Roosevelt ordered his ashes returned to Japan aboard USS ASTORIA (CA-34).
