= 8 JAPANESE PROPOSE TOHALT MORE TALK ONNOTE 0 POWERS Foreign Minister Says Nation Will Not Again Discuss Situation in Asia Tokyo, May 4.—(7)—Foreign Min- ister Koki Hirota voiced a vigorous expression of Japan's new “Hands off China” policy Friday and implied that. Japan proposes never again to discuss ~ the question of peace in the Far East ~ with western powers. Addressing the annual conference of prefectual governors, the foreign minister declared that Japan refus == to submit to a repetition of what hap- pened at Geneva in 1932, “when un- fortunately Japan's opinions concern- ing the maintenance of peace in East- ern Asia were rejected, compelling us to secede from the League of Na- tions.” Although Hirota mentioned only Geneva in this, his first public ex- Pression on the Tokyo government's recently enunciated policy toward China, there was a strong implication that Japan intends never again to debate Oriental questions on equal | ;, terms with the Occident as she did at Washington in 1922 when the nine- power treaty was framed. No General Discussion Referring to the powers’ treaty rights in China, Hirota said that “if necessary, Japan is willing to ex- change views individually with powers concerned about their rights and in- terests.” The foreign minister restated the main points in recent declarations through which Japan answered the challenges of Great Britain and the United States concerning her policy an Eastern Asia. Hirota reiterated that Japan re- Spects existing treaties and the rights of other powers in China. ‘Then he added: “Japan is the principal protector of the stability and the peace of Eastern Asia. “It is Japan’s mission to maintain Peace and order in Eastern Asia and Cooperation with the other countries of the Far East. “Japan sincerely desires the unifi- cation, integrity, and prosperity of China which can be attained only through China's own self-awakening efforts.” Hirota said the “so-called assistance - given China by outside parties will only hamper this purpose and Japan| cannot remain silent when a third Party disturbs relations between Ja- Pan and China or takes action dis- turbing the peace of East Asia.” ¥ sf $ pW EMPRESS y OFFEL ¥ NOT How Cheap a blend can be made BUT How Good it can be made!

Nutt Is Blamed for Ohio Bank Failure Washington, May 4.—()—Investi- gators reported to a senate committee Friday that the policies which led to the failure of the $35,000,000 Union Trust Company of Cleveland were dictated by Joseph R. Nutt and that he was “influenced” by the Van Sweringens. Nutt, former treasurer of the Re- publican national committee, and O. P, Van Swefingen, railroad builder, are under indictment for what inves- tigators terms a “window dressing” loan to the bank. Nutt once was president of the institution. The report naming them was sub- mitted to the senate stock market and banking investigating committee to- day by Ferdinand Pecora, counsel. It held the bank's failure was due to “unsound banking practices over a period of years.” Among the practices named were “heavy investment in real estate,” “excessive concentration of loans to the Van Sweringen and Eaton interests,” “loans to officers, \directors and their affiliated corpor- ations,” a bad dividend policy and in- adequacy of reserves.

FARM HOLIDAYITES OPPOSE CROP PLAN URGED BY WALLACE Declares Administration Pro- gram Would ‘Gain Pros- perity by Starvation’ Des Moines, Ia., Mav 4.—(?)—The National Farmers Holiday association was pledged Friday to oppose the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- tion’s crop reduction plans as a pro- gram “to gain prosperity through starvation.” A resolution, adopted at the asso- ciation’s convention termed the AAA ‘a failure and a fraud, an insult to every self-respecting farmer and a crime against society and civilization.” “It proposes to drive 2,000,000 farm- while another It subjects the no control.” The official stand against tp AAA Rexford Holiday officials said delegates from Priest Scores Tugwell “Tugwell or Christ” is the issue be- for the crop reduction plans of the AAA. Carrying out their expressed oppo- sition to the AAA, the Holiday farm- ers added a demand that Secretary Wallace be removed. Lieut. Gov. N. G. Kraschel of Iowa defended the administration and termed President Roosevelt “the or- cained leader of progressive demo- cracy.” Milo Reno of Des Moines was re- elected national president. A demand was made that congress reassume power to issue money and regulate its value and that this power be exercised in the interests of the people “instead of the usurers.” The convention pledged itself to vote for no governor who does not joint a midwest governors’ association to protect the farmers against fore- closures. The national association went on record as favoring cost of production for farmers, the Frazier-Lemke bill, Payment of soldiers’ adjusted compen- sation, retirement of government bonds on maturity, a moratorium on foreclosures and repeal of the na- tional and federal reserve bank acts. Langer Offers Petition The resignation of Secretary Wal- lace was demanded as the group adopted a resolution presented by Governor William Langer of North Dakota, petitioning President Roose- velt to remove the secretary. Langer presented the resolution as official delegate of the North Dakota liday association. The North Dakota executive was greeted by an ovation when he stepped to the speaker's stand. Reno pre- sented Langer as “a pioneer in the welfare of his people.” Langer, under federal indictment for alleged mishandling of CWA funds, followed Lieut. Gov. N. G. Kraschel of Iowa to the platform. Ealerring: to the indictments, Reno said: “Both of these men have been in- dicted because they were decent.” Reno termed Kraschel a “martyr to subterranean interests.” Langer reviewed measures in his state to relieve agriculture, including steps to halt farm mortgage fore- closures and his wheat embargo. “As long as I am governor of North Dakota and until we get good crops end a fair price for the crops there are to be no farm foreclosures,” asserted.

Our purpose is to educate the people to this end and to preserve sufficient game to provide the natural sports of hunting and fishing. “In the work of restoration and conservation many lakes and streams have been restocked with fish, dams have been built and wild life pro- tected by law. It is only by such means thas we may correct our care- lessness in the past and hand on to our posterity streams and wooded areas with the wild creatures which inhabit them.” Music was provided by Fred Argast on the harmonica, Eugene Banek on the guitar and Miss Grace Colberg on the piano.
