A—4 =* 1. TRIES TO KEEP MANCHURIAN PEACE Administration Action Is Held Based on View Province Is World Problem. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. All over the United States this week end “the man in the street” is asking why the Hoover administration is “em- brotling” America in the war-threaten- ing x:“'gl'x'.l’n\'ersy between China and Japan in Manchuria. A question that arouses no less mystery is why Japnn o bitterly opposes our sitting in with the League of Nations with a view to | preserving peace in the Far East o It is possible for this writer to set | forth the attitude of the United States | Government on both of these issues. Let it be said at once that nothing is more remote from the administration’s purpose than to invoive America in the Quarrel between the yellow ~peoples. President Hoover and Secretary Stimson are bending every energy and influence at their command to prevent a Sino- Japanese war because. as events in 1914-1918 proved, nobody can tell ‘where such a conflagration ‘wou!d spread be- re it burnt itself out. toThe administration_believes there is no popular understanding of this broad principle—that nowadays the peace of the world cannot be disturbed An: where without immediate and immen: effect upon American interests. This | is especially the case in the Far East. Big Trade Interest at Suke.lk ; ight be possible, though unlikely, | th}!i ‘;mgouplc g( minor countries might ; be at war, say. in the heart of South America or some remote corner of Eu- rope, and confine hostilities to their | own territory. But, on account of the far-flung interests which nations like the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany and The Netherlands have in Asia, it would be xmpossiblc‘ to localize a war between China and Japan. Communications, shipping and trade, most of them in foreign hands, would be crippled or destroyed if China were turned into a huge theater of " American holdings in the Orient are | estimated to be worth close to $1.000.- | 000.000. Uncle Sam's largest stake in China and Japan is invested in oil, with public _utilities and tobacco coming next. The United States' interest in the East includes $422,000,000 in Japanese | dollar bonds. Apart frm these out- | right investment values, a great war in ‘Asia would jeopardize an annual Amer- jean trade of about $1.000.000.000 with | Japan and some $140,000,000 with | ‘hina. | 2 As an up-to-the-minute indication of | how even the mere threat of war can | hold up American trade, it is noted that | the shippers at Seattle who were abcut | to transport the 14,000,000 bushels of | wheat, which the Federal Farm Board recently sold to China, hesitate to do so While the risk of a Sino-Japanese con- fiict Jooms on the other side of the Pacific. Manchuria Held World Issue. 1t is because war would endanger the safety cf their enormous and diversified | interests that the United States and other countries have hastened to pool their efforts for the preservation of peace in Manchuria. They are actuated by another motive, namery, by the fact that for the past 35 years Manchuria has been a world problem. The Japanese stoutly repudiate this contention. Their whele diplomacy during the pending controvelsy with China—both at Geneva and & other capitals—is being _concentrated on establishing the principte that the ‘Manchurian squabble is a purely family affair between the Chinese and Jepanese, and one in which the non- Asiatic_governments and peoples have no right to interfere. That is why Tokio is insisting upon thrashing the dispute cut exclusively with Nanking. The United States' concern in the Manchurian situation is as old as the open-door policy proclatmed by Secre- tary of State John Hay in the midst | of the McKinley administration, 32 years ago. Before that time, though more in- tensively since then, this country has maintained a sentimental interest in| the independent development of China. Both in the last days of the old em- | pire, and more particularly since the | birth of the republic, the Chinese peo- | ple have looked to America as the one | cat power tpon which they could rely | square and disinterested deal. Japan Resents * Action. Japan's territorial and political aspl- | rations on the mainland of Asia always heve been promoted with an eye peeled in the direction of the United States | because of acknowledged American in- | terest in the integrity of China. It was mainly at the demand of the American overnment at the Washington con- erence of ' 1921-22 that the Anglo- | Japanese alliance was broken up. Under | the wings of that pact Japan always felt that she could proceed more or unmolestedly to carry out her pur- poses in China, and primarily in Man- churia. It was at the Washington conference, too, that Japan reluctantly was brought | to acquiesce in the evacuation of Shan- | tung Province, wherein she acquired a predominant position at the Paris, Peace Conference, despite the opposi-" tion of President Wilson. All these things have combined to make the Japanese feel that America's hand is| raised against their legitimate aims in China. | Japan is definitely Tesentful of our participating tions action on the present because she thinks it would be set- ting an unfortunate precedent if the United States’ first major co-opera- tion with Geneva was in the nature of | tation that Jack Dempsey and some in any League of Na-| occasion | Derivation of Term “Sino-Japanese” Piques Curiosity The origin of the term “Sino- anonue,“g tvhich has cropped up in every newspaper in the land in relation to the Chinese-Japa- nese trouble, has piqued the curiosity of many readers. “Why, it is of such common usage that I have never stopped to consider the origin” said a State Department official when asked concerning the matter. ‘The term “Sino,” which takes the place of “Chinese” in the combination, from the Greek word “Sinai,” which means Chinese.

BISHOP SAYS JAPAN DOESN'T WANT WAR Head of Methodist Church There Also Says Nation Can’t Finance Hostilities. By The Associated Press. ATLANTA, October 17.—Japan has neither the desire nor ability to wage war at this time, Bishop Motozo Aka- zawa, general superintendent of the Ja- pan Methodist Church, here to attend the Ecumenical Congress, said today in an interview discussing the present Far Eastern situation. “As to the details of conditions in Manchuria,” he said, “I am not in- formed, for I left my home in Tokio August 6, before the present situation developed. “I do know that Japan feels present economic conditions, just as almost every other country does, and that she has not the finances necessary for & war, even should she desire one. Doesn’t Want Manchuria. “Far from desiring wer, Japan knows that improvement in economic condi- tions must depend cn trade, and that peace is necessary for trade. She does not want Manchuria, but only to pro- tect ker interests in the railroad there. “China and the United States are our best customers. Surely we do not want to offend either nation, but rather to increase trade with both.” Bishop Akazawa said he feels that the Pacific Ocean is the center sround which world affairs of most importance will revolve in the future, as the At- lantic Ocean has been in the past. Educated in South. “It is,” he.smiled, “the old tale of westward movement.” Bishop Akazawa is no stranger to the South, having received his ccllege training at the University of Texas and his theological seminary work at Van- derbilt University.

A “strong man" correspondence school in New York has been ordered by the Federal Trade Commission to weaken its _claims. The establishment—the Breitbart In- stitute of Physical Culture, Inc.—was organized six years ago, right after the death of Seigmund Breitbart, a well known athlete, who “tonducted a cor- respondence school in physical culture known as Siegmund Breitbart, Inc., ac- cording to the Trade Commission. ‘The present institution, among other things, has been ordered to stop repre- senting to the public “that Siegmund Breitbart, deceased, is a living person and connected or associated with re- spondent’s sald business.” A curb has been put on other adver- tising, including the reputed represen- other sports notables were “advisory council.” Frederick S.

THE SUNDAY JAPAN WILL AVOID WAR, SAYS LEADER Toyo'niko Kadawa Believes Claims in China Are Just, However. Japan will avold war with China for financial reasons if nothing else, Toyo- hiko Kadawa, “the Gandhi of Japan,” declared yesterday at & luncheon in the Calvary Baptist Church sponsored by the Young Men's Christian Association. In Japan,” he said, “we had almost not.hlreg and lost everything. You needn’t worry about a war in Man- churia, although the situation there is very bad and Japan's claims should be met. Personally I am a pacifist. I had rather go to jail than see a war in Manchuria.” Hits Stress on Sports. ‘The author, labor leader and religious worker, said the Y. M. C.

He attrib- uted this to wealth and luxury. He said a $2,000,000 cha--' at Princeton University is the scene of daily religious services, but only about 20 students at- tend. He said he found new buildings everywhere on each return visit to this S country and an equal growth of im- | morality. The divorce rate in this coun- try is appalling, he declared. “PFrankly, it's because of all this that I'm going to send my son to school in Canada or England instead of in the United States.” Either Heaven or Hell. Kadawa classified Americans in gen- eral as either “Heaven Americans’ or “Hell Americans.” He said the former were people such as missionaries and the latter were those who demanded and obtained exclusion of Japanese. ‘The author said American mission- aries had made great strides in Japan. He said some 1700 high schools in his native land might be mentioned as part of the good that had flown from the introduction of Christianity into his country. He said the reason religion had made such progress in Japan is to a great extent because there has been no conflict between denominations as all groups have worked together in the common desire to advance Christianity.

With- out committing itself formally, the American Government aligned actively against every suggestion that the meet- ing be deferred. Wilson Is Optimistic. The President’s personal assurance that the United States would co-operate fully in every effort to make the confer- ence a euccess was given to Gibson be- fore sailing back to Europe. In repeated public statements. the Chief Executive has declared himself emphatically | | | | against mounting expenditures for world | armaments. Wilson, however, has now returned with a highly optimistic report on the prospects for the conference. The senti- | ment in Europe, he told the department, is rapidly approaching a fecling that the conference is destined to succe=d. The general belief in Washington now is that ships, guns and armies—the natural subjects for a disarmament conference—will become secondary to that of political security. The French contention has been that the political issues that necessitate large forces must be adjusted before disarmament can be attained. Many Share Leadership. Some prominent officials have even gone so far this early in the problem s to predict that the form which a eneva agreement would take would be a group of general clauses, provid- ing an understanding on political issues and strengthened by a ‘“consultative” arrangement with the maximum limits clauses. The feeling here has grown recently that the active leadership among the nations represented would be shared about equally by France and the United States. This fact added to President Hoover's desire to confer with Premier Laval, who will arrive in Washington next week. Four other nations will play | leading Toles. They are Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Japan. America's delegation to the conference will bé a tary Stimson himself. — Cherry Tree Blooms Again. LYNCHBURG, Va., October 17 (Spe- clal) —M. W.

Gilbert has been carefully instructed to participate actively in the delibera- tions only if the Kellogg-Briand pact to renounce war should come up for discussion. If the League should see fit to go further and attempt to adjudicate the controversy, the United States would take no part whatsoever. It was strongly imdicated that neither the League nor the United States is de- sirons of becoming invoived in the rights and wrongs of the dispute. ‘They hope to confine their efforts to keeping the disputants at arms length until the situation has eased sufficiently to permit them to talk the matter over peaceably. WARNS AGAINST INTERFERENCE. Tokio Says Japan and China Can Settle Trouble Without Outside Aid. ‘TOKIO, October 17 (#).—The Japa- nese foreign office declared tonight Japa and China, left to themselves, would settle their difficulties peaceably, inti- mating if war developed from the Man- churian situation the interference of the rest of the world could be blamed. Officialdom sought a formula for the future, pointing out that the army's freedom of cabinet control and its un- compromising stand against outside in- terference would place the government in a perplexing position should the League of Nations order Japanese troops to leave Manchuria. The troops took over strategic- South- ern Manchurian centers a month ago after a clash between Japanese railway guards and Chinese soldiers convinced Japanese officials the lives and prop- erties of their nationals were endan- gered. China has appealed to the league, charging Japan with violation of international obligations. Never Would Fight. A spokesman for the forelgn office commented on the opinion expressed abroad that intervention by the League, which has invited the United States to participate in its consideration of the problem, was necessary to prevent active hostilities “If left to ourselves China and Japan would find some way to get together | and settle the present dispute,” he said. “It might take months, or possibly years, but the two nations never would fight. That is the point we desire to make clear at Geneva.” The spokesman explained that in Japanese eyes the Chinese are not seen as warrlors, but as pacifists, much pre- ferring verbal rows to actual combat. He sald the two countries, during the centuries they have lived as neighbors, have managed to settle their differences | to their own satisfaction, and Tokio believes direct negotiations with China present the most logical route to solu- ton of the 300-odd questions, some | ging fire for years, which have been brought to a head by the present | occupation. “China cannot ibly force to declare war." he commented, T Sticks to “Self-Defense.” Unless conferences in the next 48 hours cause a change of plans, the spokesman believed the Japanese Tep- Tesentatives at Geneva would continue to fight intervention on a legal basis, concentrating on the invitation for American participation, which the United States has accepted with an understanding that such participation will be limited to enforcement of the| Kellogg anti-war pact. As viewed in Government circles, Japan will continue to adhere to her original contention that occupation was | in “self-defense” and constituted no| violation of the Kellogg pact, in which the nations of the world renounced war | as an instrument of national policy. The Rengo News Agency carried a tatement from army authorities char- | terizing the American attitude to-| “extremely med- dlesome,” and added that “as far as the army is concerned, secession from the ’f:‘m if necessary would be quite in order.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT usual Features of Municipal Structure. ‘The government of the District of Columbia will be outlined by Dr. E.

Japanese Face Loss Of Chinese Cooks Due to War Scare By the Assoclated Press. ‘TOKIO, October 17.—The 8ino- Japanese controversy has pro- duced an echo in the kitchens of Americans and others in Japan who ‘employ Chinese cooks. Some 72 Chinese chefs today decided to inform their employ- ers they would pack their bags and depart for China as a re- sult of the international dispute, and consequently 30 Chinese res- taurants in Tokio and several in ‘Yokohama, Osaka and Kobe may have to close. In addition, the kitchens of numerous private families face the loss of their culinary experts, most of whom are from Canton. FAVOR OF SENATE IN DEBT GUT SEEN 34 Members of Upper House Reply to Questionnaire of New York Paper. NEW YORK, October 17.—The New | York Post sald today responses of 34 | Senators to a questionnaire indicated the Senate would listen favorably to a proposal for reduction of war debts, if coupled with a corresponding cut in armaments. Four of the 24 Senators who took a definite stand on such double-barreled reduction, in their replies to the new: paper, favored the idea without requir- ing further deflnition of the terms of such & proposal. Eleven others, many with various qualifications, expressed their willing- ness to listen to the terms of such a bargain. Nine were in avowed disap- proval. The others of the 3¢ Senators who answered the poll were doubtful or falled to express an opinion. The Senate has a membership of 96, but there is one vacancy. Divided on Extension. ‘To a second question, whether they fatored an extension of the one-year | Hoover holiday on war debts and repa- rations, seven voted no and four yes, with the remainder doubtful. Interest in a proposed bargain with | European countries over limitation of | armaments and a cut in war debts has been heightened by the conferences President Hoover soon will hold with Premier Laval of France and Signor | Grandi, foreign minister of Italy, naval holiday exponent. Conversations between Mr. Hoover | and both the foreign statesmen are cer- | tain to drift swiftly from disarmament | to economics and, undoubtedly, to the | desire of Italy and France for & cut in the war debts. The President has voiced repeatedly a belief that while European nations continue to spend enormous sums on armaments, they cannot alleviate ma- | | terially their financial difficulties. In Washington it is considered cer- tain he will insist on drasti¢ arms re- ductions before there can be any fur- | i ther relief from war debts and repar: tions. Congressional leaders already have signified to him a willingness to look sympathetically on the war debt pleas it Europe promises to co-operate along the other line. The four who expressed unqualified approval were Senators Copeland of New York. Logan of Kentucky, and Walsh of Montana, all Democrats, and Senator McNary, Republican, of Oregon The Senators who apparently are in favor of hearing overtures for a cut in armaments and debts, but who would wish to qualify the bargain in one way or another, are: Senators Borah of Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa, Capper of Kansas, Steiwer of Oregon, Jones of Washington, Frazier of North Dakota, Hastings of Delaware, Watson of In- diana, Carey of Wyoming. all Repub- licans, and Senator Gore of Oklahoma.

BRIDE WILL STUDY | BRUTALITY CASES Evidence in 56 Additional In-|” stances Said to Affect Nearly Every Precinct. (Continued From First Page.) Justice James M. Proctor of Criminal E’m“:tm No, 1 of the District Supreme Mr. Rover said he is determined to seek early trials in all the cases. It is probable the first case—that in which four officers of the first precinct are charged with a savage attack on James Henry Harker—will be set for trial No- vember 9. These four officers were ar- raigned once before as a result of an indictment by the disqualified July grand jury. ‘The 56 additional brutality cases constitute the group which were not taken before the grand jury because of the belief of the Department of Justice that the evidence probably was not strong enough to warrant criminal prosecution. The cases, however, are sald to be serious enough to justify severe disciplinary action which the Commissioners have the power to in- g.l:edupon conviction by a Police Trial rd. Mitchell Turns Over Report. The record of the 56 cases was pre- sented to the Commissioners when they called at the office of Attorney Gen- eral Mitchell to inquire about the gen- eral brutality report of the Department of Justice. Mr. Mitchell offered to turn this report over to the Commissioners on condition that no publicity be given it until the criminal cases it contains are disposed of in the courts. Following the conference with the Commissioners, Attorney General Mitchell issued the following statement: “With respect to the investigation conducted by the Bureau of Investiga- tion of the Department of Justice into third-degree methods in the Police De- partment of the District of Columbia, it may be said that the only general report prepared by the bureau relates to those cases in which criminal pro- ceedings have been instituted. “For obvious reasons it would be improper for the department o give publicity to that report while the criminal cases are pending and un- disposed of. The department has of- fered to submit this report to the Com- missioners of the District, but only with the understanding that no pub- licity will be given to it until the criminal cases referred to in it are disposed of. ““The Co issioners have advised the department that they have no present | need for this report, because the sus- pension of the indicted officers is the only action the Commissioners can properly take at present in these cases. “All the investigation files of the de- partment relating to the third-degree methods in the Police Department have been delivered to the Commissioners of the District in order that the Commis- sioners may examine them to determine whether administrative action may be necessary tn cases which have not re- sulted in criminal prosecution.” Four Involved in Harker Case.

Defense attorneys, it s understood, will oppose efforts of the Government to rush the cases to trial, on the ground that time is necessary to make ready for proper defense. ‘The Department*of Justice, irked at the delay caused by collapse of the first grand jury proceedings, will seek to have the prosecutions expedited. United States Attorney Rover is expected to confer with Justice officials this week concerning arrangements for the trials ‘Will Provide Sensations. ‘The court phases of the third-degree cases undoubtedly will provide some sensations, for the Government is said to have many surprises ready in the way of “torture” exhibits and secret witnesses.

While the Commissioners were in conference with Attorney General Mitchell, Justice Proctor, in the District Supreme Court, expunged from the records of the court the special report issued by the disqualified July grand jury charging that former Policeman Orville Staples was dismissed from the force three years ago as the result of a “frame up,” and recommending the punishment of those responsible. The court held the grand jury had exceeded its authority in making the report. Lawyers Will Investigate.
