Japanese Premier on Defensive. Japan’s new Diet, the first under uni- versal manhood suffrage, saw the gov- ernment of Baron ‘Tanaka on. the de- fensive early in thesessiont: The premier made an important speech at the open- ing .of uze Diet, discussing foreign re- tions af 1en¥lh. iHe referred to_the nited States immigration laws as hav- ing created a question which still needed patient treatment. He also assured the Diet that Man- ‘churia’s action in hoisting the flag of e Chinese Nationalist government and the subsequent events in the territory ruled formerly by Chang Tso-lin, friend of Japan, had not, changed Tokio's de- termination to:preserve Japan’s' special interests there. Another attempt is be- ing made to settle the differences be- tween the two countries. Hitherto China has refused to treat unless Japan first withdrew all her troops from Shangtung. The latest advices said she had modified this to a demand for an absolute guarantee of evacua- tion. Britian and France Have Probl:m. Great Britain and France have again been discussing the boring of a tunnel f |under the English Channel. In former days this was vetoed by English_circles which had not forgotten the Spanish armada or Napoleon's planned invasion of Britain. But the specter of invasion has_been . given some lusty buffets re- cently, advocates of the tunnel saying that recent demontrations of the effi- cacy of aircraft in attack has laid the ghost. Doorn Manor has witnessed its an- nual pilgrimage of the lovers of the Ger- man imperialistic regime. Hundred of formier army officers and representatives of the old German nobility journeyed to the Holland réfuge of the ' former Emperor Wilhelm ‘II and congratulated him_on his seventieth birthday .anni- versary.

Unemployment thrust itself into the mmg of several governments. A march on London was started from Glasgow, with auxula? bodies forming in a dozen other British industrial centers. The Price of Wales is starting today on a tour of the distressed mining districts. In Budapest* there ‘were riotous de- ~Hello Folks:— monstrations before ‘the Hungarian House of Lords while that body was dedicating a museum. “We want bread, not museums,” was the cry from the streets. Down in Cape Town there was looting of food shops on the day that the Par- liament ©of South Africa reassembled. Over in India the followers of Mahatma Ghendi were given a plan for a comprehensive boycott of foreign- made cloth. Chandi was credited with urging his followers to organize a cam- paign of burning foreign-made textiles. 3,000 ARRESTS MADE IN CHICAGO CLEAN-UP Marked Decrease in Crime Report- ed as Result of Police Drive “on Crooks.
