Resgue Council Proposes Investigation of Manchurian Situation. #Oopyright, 1931, the Associated Press.) PARIS, November 21.—The most the Yeague . Nations was able to accom- plish today in its attempt to effect peace in Manchuria was to obtain an agreement by China to consider a pro- posal for an investigation under League suspices. clgate, proposea thai the invest proposet 4 ves tion be conducted throughout China roper a8 well as in Manchuria, The t.engua approved the inquiry so far as Mmnchuria is concerned. Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate, tenaciously clung to his position that evacuation by the Japanese troops be made a prerequisite to any investiga- tion. Japanese The Japanese delegate announced | his government was prepared to with- draw its troops to the treaty zone as 800N as it was assured that the property and lives of its nationals were safe. ' Back to Earlier Status. On the surface this exchange seemed to restore the situation to the status of September 30, when M. Yoshi- mawa declared evacuation would be ac- mpmh:;’u fast as security condi- tions permitted. Japan's for en inquiry covering all was made at & meeting of the council. It con- jed no rference to the Tokio govern- ment's frequently reiterated demand for recognition by China of the validity of existing Sino-Japanese treaties. This omission was looked upon by League officials as an indication Japan was adopting & more conciliatory atti- tude. Hope was reawakened that a eaceful solution of the conflict might found. The meeting was adjourned with the undemmdmgemu the Japanese pro- would be put in writing in order at it might be studied by the Chinese delegation. The suggested Manchurian inquiry CHURCH ACTIVITY OUTLINED ON AIR Federation Secretary Re- views Religious Life Under. Auspices of C. of C. The accompiishments of the Wash- ington Federation of Churches after 12 years as an active force in the social, educational and religious life of the Capital were reviewed last night by Rev. W. L. Darby, executive secretary of - the federation, in an address over Radio Station WMAL, under auspices of the Washington Chamber of Com- merce, “Throughout its history, Washington has been known as a city of churches and church-going people,” Rev. Mr. Darby said. The speaker pointed out that_at least half of the population is enrolled i the 399 churches of the community, representing 42 recognized religious bodies. Rev. Mr. Darby traced the present spirit of religious ‘“co-operation,” a manifestation of which was the local |1 c s federation of churches, through four ?er!ods of development during the past four centuries—,rst, a period of bitter antagonism, then a period of toleration, followed by & period of competition, culminated today by a period of co- operation. “Happily,” Rev. Mr. Darby said, “we are not in the early stages of the fourth period.” He declared that in business and commerce the old days of isolation are gone forever, and that the churches in most of the major American cities “gre just beginning to follow this worthy example. No one can imagine & city the size of ours,” he said, “with- out its Chamber of Commerce or some similar organization.” Likewise, it followed, Rev. Mr. Darby continued, that the churches of a large and enlightened city should seek uni- fled action. He traced the growth of the federation from an_original mem- rvecelved the approval of the Council delegates from Great Britain, France, Poland, oslavia, Norway, Ttaly, Jugc Guatemala, Peru, Panama and Ireland. Put Hostilities First. Omg‘l delegate, Gerhard Mutius, | good said he thought the League's immedi- ate task was to end the hostllities in Manchuria rather than to attempt to deal with the entire Chinese problem. Alejandro Lerroux of srln agreed with his statement, and declared the settle- ment_should be based on conditions of security and not on questions of treaty ed his an impa; ent was but evacuation begin without delay “The military occupation of China’s terrif by Japanese forces in viola- tion solemn treaties and of the League covenant is the crux of the situ- ation,” Dr. Sze declared. “No disposition which fails to pro- wvide for the immediate cessation of all military operations and the withdrawal of those forces, immediately set in mo- tion and progressively executed over s period of time of the shortest possible duration, can pretend to be a solution of the problem. ‘Will Assume Responsibility. “My government cannot bargain for withdrawal or consent that withdrawal be made dent upon any other mmatter than the arranging of details for the securing of the safety of life and property in the evacuated areas. “I affirm my former declarations that China is prepared to assume full re- ity for the maintenance of pub- »lic order and the security of life and property of Japanese nationals in Man- churia outside the area of the (Japa- nese operated) South Manchurian Rail- way. “If further assurances seem necessary, any reasonable arrangement involving neutral co-operation under the auspices of the League will be accepted. Suffering Inc:casing. “Face to face with events which march from bad to worse we en; in discussions « wWhich have led to no fruitful results except, perhaps, to maxe more clear the issue which is before the Council. ““This issue is now plain and the time has come to act, for while we debate suffering is increasing and irreparable damage 1s being done. rt) delay can _render onmly more difficult the task which confronts : us. “In order to secure prompt and com- g!ete evacuation of its territory China as the firm intention of demand, as circumstances may require, every right and remedy secured to it as a member of the League of Nations by Article XI or any other article or articles.” Yoshizawa’s Proposal. { M. Yoshizawa made his proposal to ! #he Council in these words: ““The Japanese government believes the essential condition of a funda- mental solution of the question is the « true knowledge of the situation in its entirety, in China as well as in Manchuria. “In this spirit Japan proposes that the League of Nations send to the spot & commission of study * * *. “It 18 understood this commission would not be competent to intervene in negotiations which might be pro- gressing between the two parties nor to supervise the movements of military forces of one party or the other.” This last clause was interpreted as not preventing the study of the mili- tary situation, but only as forbidding the issuance of directions to the mili- tary commanders. CHINA RENEWS APPEAL. NANKING, November 21 (#).—The Chinese government today renewed its appeal to Japan to enter into direct negotiations for withdrawal of Japanese troops from occupied territory in Man- churia. Its new note to Tokio remarked that 4f “recent aggressive actions of Japa- nese” represented Japan's fixed policy, then her indorsement of a League of Nations’ resolution on September 30, in which it was understood Japan should withdraw troops to the railway zone, was incomprehensible. ‘The Japanese government. was asked to “change its past policy immediately and negotiate with commissioners al- ready appointed by the Chinese for that purpose, detalls for the withdrawal of Japanese troops and the retrocession of evacuated territory, so that Japanese troops now invading and occupying va- rious centers in Manchuria may be completely withdrawn forthwith and peace restored.” —_— War Commander Dies. bership of 55 churches 12 years ago to its present strength of 115 churches, along with the enlargement of the fed- eration’s activities. The speaker called attention to the work accomplished in the life of the city by the federation's various committees. These include a Music Committee, which sponsored the recent appearance of the Westminster Choir; committees on civic affairs, religious drama and pageantry, employment, evangelism, finance, the practice of in- ternational good will, race relations, religious education, vacation schools, young people’s activities, soclal service and the welfare of the Woman's Coun- cil of the Federation in Juvenile Court and the hospitals. “Uncounted thousands of people are familiar with our Christmas project— the distribution of stockings and greet- ing cards in the hospitals on Christ- mas morning, enlivened by the singing of carols. Last year 4,000 such stock- ings were distributed, with 150 young people assisting. The success of this undertaking was made possible by the work and contribution of hundreds of people. The project is under way again this year and it is expected that it may be_ possible to match that record of l’l& This year at Easter time 1,000 potted hyacinths were distributed to hospital patients under a similar plan. People are glad to help make these ef- forts successful in the name of the united churches of Washington. “The accomplishments of these 12 years show what can be done by unified planning and concerted endeavor. The federation is earnestly trying to help the churches of Washington fill that large place, to which they are entitled, in the manifold life of our Nation's Capital.” THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., NOVEMBER 22, 1931—PART ONE TOWN OF ANGANCHI IN STRATEGIC SPOT Stands Near “Spark Gap” of Railway and Economic Interests of Japan. “The little village of Anganchi, cap- tured by Japanese forces in the drive on Tsitsihar, capital of Heilungklang, Ppossesses an importance far out of pro- portion to its limited populaticn because it stands near a kind of ‘spark gap,’ supercharged with the economic. ambi- tions and railway interest of Japan, China and RusSla in Northwestern Manchuria,” says a bulletin from the headquarters of the N: - graphic Society. PN Northernmost Station. “Anganchi i€ 2 miles south of Tsi- tsihar Station, the junction of the Chi- nese and Russian controlled Chinese Eastern Railway and the narrow-gauge spur line leading north to Tsitsihar City. Anganchi also is the northern- most statica on the new Chinese-op- erated, Japanese-built railway line from Taonanfu. An extension of this line, entirely Chinese owned, Tuns from An- ganchi through Tsitsihar Station to the city of Tsitsthar, roughly paralleling the narrow-gauge line and crossing over the main line of the Chinese Eastern Ra‘flwny on a bridge. “Anganchi was practically unheard of until the new line, pushing up from ‘Taonanfu during the last decade, built its terminal in the town, 2 miles short of the important junction at Tsitsihar Station. “In a land which has constructed more miles of railway in recent years than any other part of the world, and which in some places laid new lines at the rate of a mile a day, it may seem strange_that the 2-mile’ gap between Anganchi and Tsitsthar Station was not for many months, Treaty Rights Involved. “Treaty rights, dating from the close of the Russo-Japanese War, were in- volved. The Taonanfu-Anganchi rail- way was built with funds loaned to the Chinese by a syndicate of Japanese banks, who in turn gave the construc- tion contract to the South Manchurian Rllwny Co. “When the line reached Anganchi the Chinese Eastern Railway, jointly controlled by Soviet Russia and China, objected to the crossing of its main line by a railroad linked with the South Manchurian Railway (Japanese) inter- ests. Consequently, when the line was finally continued to Tsitsihar Station, to Tsitsihar itself, and to the City of Tai- anchen beyond, only Chinese capital was employed. “Aside from the yaras and station of the railroad lines,” Anganchi possesses little to distinguish it from hundreds of other mud-walled villages in the wind- swept farming and grazing lands of the Nonni River Basin. The inhabitants, several hundred in number, are mainly Russians, although the mflux of Chinese has been noticeable since the comple- tion of the railway lines to the north and south of it. Heavy Traffic Reported. “Tsitsthar Station, the actual meeting place of the Chinese Eastern main line and the new north-south railroad, boasts no houses not connected with the railway interests, The new rallroad crosses over the Chinese Eastern on a bridge. Neaiby is the old narrow- gauge line connecting Tsitsthar Station with the City of Tsitsihar. “According to reports received by the United States Department of Com- merce early in Septemver, the new line from Anganchi north mrough Tsitsihar to Talanchen broke all records for trafic in Manchuria early this year. Construction work is being continued | on the line to Koshanchen. Eventually it will reach the Siberian border and connect with a branch of the Trans- Siberian Raiiroad atBiagoveschchensk.” Former German Minister Dies.

P THE N MORRIS PLAN WORLD SEES JAPANESE FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN MANCHURIAN AREA (Continued From Firse Page.) termination to do That is recognized to truth. In Washington there are many for- elgn diplomats and statesmen who know the Far East through long official resi- dence there. What is now hsppening in Manchuria takes few of these au- thorities by surprise. They assert it is merely the materialization of long-cher- ished and far-reaching Japanese plans. One of these Old World representatives recalls a conversation with Baron Shide- hara, Japanese foreign minister, a few years ago when China Was in the midst of one of her chronic civil wars. The Occidental asked the Oriental states- man why Japan did not seize that p: ticular moment to “consolidate her posi- tion” in Manchuria. “Wait and see, wait and see,” was Shidehara's laconic reply. Well, Japan has waited and the ‘world now sees. What Japan was waiting for today is as plain as the fact that she has not waited in vain. The Japanese held their hand until the time when Europe and America would be so engrossed in mat- ters of more vital interest than the “in- tegrity of China” that this could merit only their secondary consideration. Japan, as the most astute observers of her present action are wholly persuaded, decided that world-wide economic de- pression gave the Japanese at last their great and coveted opportunity to expand in Manchuria. Not only has economic depression paralyzed the powers’ en- thusiasm for adventures on the other side of the globe, but Japan sees Europe itself immersed in such a mess of politi- cal turmoil, suspicion and tension of its own that Tokio statesmen had little trouble in convincing themselves no se- rious opposition need be expected from the Old World. As Toklo surveyed the United States, it came to the conclusion that equally little danger existed of forceful American hostility to Japanese designs. It is not a time, Japan con- cluded, that the American people, con- sidering both their business conditions and their political inclinations, would resort to extremes of any kind to save China from the results of her own follles. Followed German Example. Japan may well have had the German example of 1914 in mind, in determining that the time to flout the world was &t the hour the world is compelled to con- centrate on its own troubles. Berlin, 17 years ago, also discovered a Europe and America apparently little concerned with external affairs. Great Britain had an Irish rebellion on its hands. France was immersed in the scandals of the Caillaux trial. Russia was smolder- ing with revolution. The United States was quarreling with Mexico and mobiliz- ing expeditionary forces on the Texas border. Berlin made up its mind that “the day” had arrived, and struck. Japan, like one of her famed wrestlers, watched for her chance and then re- sorted to the stranglehold. ‘Though Europe and America are not yet ready to admit for publication that they contemplate Japan’s conquest of Manchuria with equanimity, they admit privately, through the mouths of many spokesmen, that it is perhaps best for the world that things are turning out as they have done. The non-Asiatic nations, as a European Ambassador at Washington puts it, “are about fed up with China,” with her incessant civil wars, with the chronic reign of ban- ditry, with the hopeless impotence of the Nationalist government, and gen- erally with that structureless and cha- otic mass euphoniously called China. That being so, the orderliness which follows the Japanese flag is not alto- gether unwelcome to outside nations, especially great trading nations like the United States, which want to do busi- ness, and do It under safe conditions, in China. In other words, a Japanized or Japan-supervised Manchuria is looked upon as a sure guaranty of sta- bility in a sprawling part of China ah. | The d-nfr may have been less recently than in the past because of unconceal- which has not known stability for generation. ¥ ‘There is another, and ps even more satisfactory, silver lining to the cle which for the moment hangs over the situstion in the East. A Man- churia dominated by Japan means the setting up of a bulwark against Soviet Russia, which long has had notorious it sweep across the great ambitions to province and unize all China. s ergles on its strictly home problems. One of the common e: lons of Japan's apparent brazenness in in th Russian sphere in Manchuria is 's knowledge that the Soviet at the mo- ment is not in position to war against Japan on China’s account. Finally, it is beginning to dawn on the baffled outside world that despite contrary impressions the Japanese civil government and the Japanese milita party have been working hand in hant | The Manchurian conquest is their joint achievement. While Premier Wakat- suki and Forelgn Minister Shidehara were refusing to accept “League dicta- tion,” their generals were acting in Manchuria. (Copyright, 1931.) LOWER RAIL WAGE PACT IS EXPECTED Carrier Line Heads and Union Men Believed Nearing Agreement. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 21 —Rall- road presidents and representatives of 21 unions sat together for an hour and a half today around a conference table, where voluntary wage reductions were understood to be the subject of discus- sion, and then adjourned until tomor- row without announcing whether any conclusions had been reached. As Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Raliroad and chair- man of the rallroad executive group, left the conference he issued & brief statement, which he refused to amplify. “We have had a short meeting,” he sald; “we will meet tomorrow, probably at 2 pm. in the same place.” JFrom those close to the conferees it was understood that both this after- noon’s joint session and the separate meetings of rail executives and broth- erhood leaders this morning were en- tirely amicable. ‘The employes' representatives were sald to have recognized the plight of the roads and agreed to recommend to the unions some form of temporary wage reduction, if the executives will inaugurate certain reforms in working conditions and utilize the money saved by the pay cuts in alleviating unem- ployment conditions. This “if” was reported to have been the temporary stumbling block which prevented a quick agreement. Before the adjournment, however, those at the conference table were sald to have reached a “trading stage,” with both sides giving and taking in order to per- fect some sort of an agreement satis- factory to every one.

The diplomatic action of the Tokio cabinet was excellent. It consisted in promises that the Japanese had no real intention to take u.nythinfi away from the Chinese. These promises, together with those of the Japanese diplomats abroad that the troops would be with- drawn as soon as the situation war- ranted it and that the troops would not advance further after certain important points were occupied, lulled into a sen- iment of security most of the foreign governments. It seems that the Council of the e did not see through the Japa- nese plan when it decided to issue the famous ultimatum ordering the Japa- nese out of Manchuria by November 16. ‘The American Government was never a party to that ultimatum, because it realized from the very beginning that the Japanese would not obey it. ‘The League of Nations took a big chance by issuing such a peremptory order to Japan and is suffering today the consequences of its action. In order to save their own face, the members of the Council are endeavor- ing to find a scapegoat and seem to want to throw the blame of their fail- ure on the hesitant attitude of the United States. According to reports received from Europe, it appears that the majority of the members of the Council say that thelr failure is due to the luke-warm attitude we have aaopted when we were asked to come to we rescue of the Kellogg pact, the nine-power pact and the League's’ prestige. United States Did Utmost. This may seem true to European diplomats. "As s matter of fact, the Government of the United States had done all that was in its power to save those treaties and the face of the League, which had blundered by order- ing the Japanese out of Manchuria at a fixed date. ‘The American Government went further than anybody in this country expected it to go when it authorized Consul Prentiss B. Gilbert to sit at the Council of the League; it supported the League by sending to Tokio strong diplomatic notes, some of them so strong that it was considered inad- visable to have them published. Secre- tary Stimson is reported to have used all the influence this country has in trying to bring the Japanese to rea- son and the administration is reliably reported to have been willing to join the other powers in any action of moral pressure. ~But the League, realizing its inability to handle Japan by pure moral pressure, decided on some serious action, such as an economic boycott. The American Government was com- pelled to dissassociate itself from the other powers, not only because such a boycott would hurt our economic in- terests more than it would hurt those of any other power, but because an economic boycott is considered tantamount to a declaration of war, and it is only the of the United States that can decide upon such a measure, Much as the Government of this country desires to co-operate with the other nations to safeguard the sanctity of the treaties guaranteeing an ami- cable settlement of disputes among na- tions, it cannot pledge Congress to any action. This is the reason why Ambassador Dawes told the members of the League Council that America cannot join them in a boycott against Japan and that we must reserve our complete freedom of action. May Turn to Chinese. Under the circumstances it appears doubtful whether the League will con- tinue to wish to enforce drastic actions against Japan. It is more likely that 1t will endeavor to persuade the Chinese to come to an agreement with the Jamese. recent actions of the Japanese military seem to be taken with the view of facllitating such a move. The Japanese have occupied Tsitsihar and a few points north of that impor- tant railway junction. These points are in the Russian zone of influence, Wwhich the Japanese do not intend to inyade for the time being at least. The Japanese have no haphazard policles. They have set out to con- solidate their position in Southern Manchuria and ‘are determined to do so regardless of what tne rest of the world may think or say. Today, how- ever, the Japanese have occupied more than they really want to keep. Ac- cording to well informed sources, the object of the Japanese general staf is to have sufficient extra territory in their position so as to enable their government to bargain with the Chinese and by returning them some of the occupied area, to save the face of the Chinese negotiators. ‘Want Railway Control. The Japanese want to consolidate their position in Southern Manchuria and control effectively not only the South Manchurian railways, but also those the Chinese have built wit Japanese capital. If they can do that n!:ey will lfis\:re tt'zg complete control of every outlet on the Pacific south of ‘Vladivostok. it The Japanese government is deter- mined to complete the line which runs from Chan Chung through Kirin to a warm-water seaport near Yuki to be built south of Vladivostok. They want to complete the railway line from Tunhwa to the Sea of Japan and do not want any possible interference with their plans either by the Chinese or any other nation. For this they need the complete and unquestioned control of Southern Manchuria and mean to stay there as complete masters. ‘The other areas in Northern Man- churia they have occupled recently are, it is belleved here, mere bargain- ing points which they consider indis- pensable in order to obtain from the Chinese what Japan actually wants.
