It reveals that the American side of the question is one of unity. All those interested in the industry—the operators, fishermen, the Bureau of Fisheries, the State Depart- ment and other interested parties—are working to- When the State De- prepares its toward a common end. partment, which now has the leadership, case and presents it to the Japanese, which are the reported offenders, it will be the complete case of the Alaskan fishing and it will carry the weight of solidity on the problem That there is complete cooperation is revealed from all sources and is confirmed in the statement of Loo D. Stuigeon, representative of the State Depart- cnent, who has been on the ground. In The Empire . Sturgeon said “We have had the full co-operation of the in- dustry, the operators, the Bureau of Fisheries, the fishermen and every one connected with the industry and it is of great help in arriving at a true picture of the situation. They have turned over to us all the information available and with such co-operation we are being able to arrive at an intelligent approach. Certainly it is an intelligent approach and it is the kind of solidified approach which promises to carry the force necessary to the solution of* such a ticklish problem. If the industry and the government agencies were working at cross purposes, the result probably would be antagonism on the part of tky very people with whom the State Department must do business. But with co-operation in a common cause, as now reflected, definite progress toward the desired end is attained. This united effort, coupled with the attitude of the State Department to see the matter through to a saisfactory solution, lends a brighter aspect to the entire fishing invasion picture. “No vital national industry such as this one is to be sacrificed to foreign interests,” was the state- ment of the State Department official. Such language is sufficient assurance that this is to be no perfunctory affair, but, rather, a thorough, intelligent and complete attack of an international problem which must be solved if we are to have peace along the Alaskan fishing banks. The best that any of us can do now is to lend our whole-hearted co-operation to the State Depart- ment in its efforts. THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING NEUTRAL gether industry yesterday, M Without the formality of a declaration of war, {dent can incite a conflict of world-wide proportions. |tween Chinese and Japanese soldiers, when hostilities opened yesterday after the Japanese evacuation ultimatum had been rejected, it was the Chinese army which smashed the Japanese defense, almost routing them in the first encounter. This would indicate that China for once is better prepared for war than several years ago when Japan marched with but minor resistance into Manchuokuo. But it is not the actual battling between the Chin- cse and Japanese forces which so much concerns the rest of the world. It is the attendant incidents which loom large in the international pict Yesterday, for example, it was reported that an American marine had been wounded when caught in a crossfire of the two opposing armies. A week or so ago two American | women were reported manhandled in the troubled | About the same time, some British women were | area nsulted and handled roughly.

For many chanze political control over a substantial portion of Chinese unnu‘mv soil is to demand that the Central Government indict itself as being without national authority acquainted with Japanese strategy in China will fail to understand that s insistence on a “local”| settlement is a meve aimed at the independence of China. Recently “authoritative sources” in Tokyo let it be known that, if necessary, force will be used not cnly to settle the “local” issue near Peiping but to compel a showdown on long-standing Chino-Japanese issues, including the right of Japan to carry out un- trammeled the exploitation of the natural resources of North China. This announcement, even.if intendes less onerous demands, is in itself a form of aggression. Coupled with the further official declaration that the Japanese Army must remain for a long time in North China to continue strictly to watch Chinese actions, it is a clear indication that the Japanese militarists hold the reins in the Konoe “liberal” Government. What does Japan really expect to accomplish by its belligerent attitude this time? The formal recognition by Nanking of the loss of Manchuria? The complete withdrawal of Nanking’s troops from the “autonomous” and “semi-autonomous“ provinces of Hopei and Chahar with their important centers, Tientsin and Peiping? Or the fulfillment of its earlier, aborted attempt to separate the five northern pro- vinces from the rest of China and set up another puppet regime for Japanese penetration? Whatever its purpose, Japan has already stiffened the resistance of the Chinese and alienated much of the public cpinion of the West.
