LETHBRIDGE, Alta, Oct. 14.— An ambitious program in which the |Canadian’ and United States Gov- ernments will be petitioned to es- | tablish an inside air mail route to the Yukon and Alaska Territories, wds drawn here at the Interna- tional meeting of delegates. The Delegates have formed the; | “Sunshine International Air Route | Council” with Mayor Julius With- erthners, of Great Falls, Montana, as President. It was decided to appoint “coun-| |cilmen” in every city between Tex- as and Alaska to seek an air mail route east of the Rocky Mountains. It is claimed that this route will| lcall for a smaller investment than the Pucific Coast route from Seattle to Juneau ,and also that the weath- |er is generally better for flying con- | ditions on the east of the mountains | than the west. " The' next session, date unan- nounced, will probably be held in Great Falls.

Fighting raged overhead as the Chinese planes attempted to raid the Japanese airfield in the Yangt- zepoo Area and then swirled along fringes of the International Settle- ment to some 50 miles west of Shanghal. Japanese planes arose to the attack. An additional 75 Chinese civilians were killed when Japanese planes bombed a passenger train on the Soochow and Kashing Railway. U. 8. Cruiser Sprayed - An American sailor, J. P. Mi- chael, of Connersville, Indiana, ra- dioman aboard the Asiatic Fleet’s flagship, was slightly injured when shrapnel from Japanese shells sprayed the cruiser Augusta lying at anchor in the Whangpoo River. ‘The Japanese Naval Commander, Admiral Kyoshi Hasegwa, apolo- gized for the incident after U. 8. Admiral Harry Yarnell protested to the reckless firing by Japanese warships. TO CONQUER ALL CHINA TIENTSIN, Oct. 14. Yosuke Matsuoka, American educated, President of the South Manchuria Railway, disclosed here that Japan sgeks to control the whole of China to prevent its falling prey to Soviet Russia and Communism. The Japanese army, Matsuoka said, intends to occupy the Chinese Capital City. Matsuoka also said Japan's poli- tical and economic program in North China is delayed pending clearing up of the Shanghai situa- tion as a fundamental solution, The Chinese must be defeated in the North as this section is occupied by 80 percent of the Chinese leadership which is centered around Shang- hai. The Coastal Zone and North. ern Provinces constitute 90 percent of China, Matsuoka further de- clared. U. 8.
