Warren served as United States. between 1921-1922. His arrival was eagerly anticipated in the context of up-coming Washington Conference on Far Eastern matters and armaments.
Kaneko Kentarō (Harvard "98), Privy Councilor to the Emperor, and President of the America-Japan Society of Tokyo presided at a formal dinner in honor of the newly arrived Ambassador Warren.
And he expressed the hope that the Washington Conference would be a golden opportunity to clear away any misunderstandings and to speak frankly about Japan"s aspirations. Not all of Warren"s activities were limited to conventional Tokyo events.
In late January 1923, Ambassador Warren took leave of the Empress before departing his post in Tokyo. In addition to Foreign Minister Uchida and Prince Tokugawa, the recently appointed Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Masanao Hanihara, was at the Imperial Palace reception.
Warren became United States. in 1924.
President Coolidge nominated Warren to be Attorney General, but his nomination was narrowly rejected twice. In the wake of the Teapot Dome scandal, Senate Democrats and Progressive Republicans objected to the nomination of Warren, who was closely associated with the "Sugar Trust". Michigan governor Alex J. Groesbeck, who Coolidge had also considered for the position, was active in trying to undermine Warren"s acceptance.
Warren died in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, on February 3, 1936.
