THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE TWELVE PAGES “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME* JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY, JAPAN “OPEN DOOR IS SLAMMED SHUT 1S CLAIM MADE Great Britam Is Also Hit% by New Governmental Control Law STRONG PROTESTS IMMEDIATELY MADE Monopolistic Rulings Vio- late Nine-Power Treaty Act in Far East [ WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Vigor-| ous blows were directed from Wash- ington and London yesterday against Japan's plan of an estab- lished strict governmental control over the oil business of that coun- try and its sponsored Empire of Manchukuo. The protests grew out of Japan's Petroleum Industry Control Law which gives the Japanese Govern-} ment strict control of all oil busi- ness in Japan to the detriment of American and other foreign oil companies. Manchukuo's proposal for the establishment of a Government Oil monopoly which virtually puts American and other oil firms out of business in the new Asiatic state also added flames to the situation. The United States and Great Britain protested the monopolistic rulings violated the Nine Power Treaty which pledged equality treatment to nationals of all coun- | tries in the Far East. The American Government con- tends the acts slam shut the tra- ditional ““Open Door" policy The new Japanese law requires foreign petroleum companies to keep six months’ supply on -hand, which could be confiscated by the Japanese Government in case of emergency.

Bible Helps This Farmer Keep Land Until Harvest‘ MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” says the Bible, and Judge Joseph E.
