President Nagasaki of Japan National Railways, who has been touring Europe, arrived in Hawaii last night by a Pan American airplane from New York to attend the Pacific Travel Conference session. He spoke about his European inspection as follows: 'The purpose of this inspection was to exchange ideas with people of each nation about solving the problem of funding each country's national railroads and about the modernization of railroads, and also to inspect their railway institutions. I departed from Japan on the 1st and, using Paris as a base, visited London, Frankfurt and Berlin. After the travel conference, on the evening of the 14th, I am returning to New York to inspect the American railway institutions again.' He is from Akita and has held the position of President of National Railways since August of last year. At the airport he was welcomed by the Japanese representatives of the travel conference, Seishiro Kurita and Nobuo Matsumura, his wife, and Shigeo Shigenaga, a local.
