JAPANESE ATTACK. [‘Gmer’s Vancouver AMERICAN WOMAN Teacher in Mission School Struck With Cane and Fists—Protest Filed. (Continued From First Page.) inspect the property, which was severely damaged in the fighting between the Chinese and Japanese. ‘While she was sitting alone in an au- tomobile within the school compound, said other members of the mission staff, two Japanese plain clothes men, wearing identifying arm bands, ap- proached and accused her of stopping the flow of water through a hose from the school property into an adjoining ! i:xd in which the Japanese seemed to ve an interest. Struck Repeatedly With Cane. After speaking to her for a few min- utes in the Japanese language, which she did not understand, one of the Japanese struck her repeatedly with a cane about the shoulders, while the other struck her with his fists, said those to whom Miss Marlowe later re- ported the ingident. After she had been badly treated, a third Japanese, who spoke English, ap- peared and allowed her to depart, first inquiring her name and nationality. Members of the mission staff said the Japanese had no right even to enter the property, but apparently were taking water from mission sources. Headquarters of the mission are at Richmond, Va. PEACE IN ASIA DEMANDED. Smaller Nations Tell League to Use All Its Resources. GENEVA, March 5 (#).—Spokesmen of the smaller nations, which have no material interests in the Far East, pro- nounced before the special assembly of ' the League of Nations today their pub- lic condemmation of Japan's invasion of China, and urged that all the league's resources be employed to end the struggle. A number of the diplomats of these secondary powers made it clear they would insist that the assembly deal with the Manchurian problem as well as the Shanghai problem. Thus they rejected the Japanese contention that the assembly must keep its hands off Manchuria. All during the morning and afternoon Tsuneo Matsudaira and Naotake Sato, the Japanese representatives, listened ‘while European and South and Central American speakers denounced armed intervention by a strong State in the territory of a weaker State and while they called for the early withdrawal of Japanese troops from Chinese soil. Great Powers Silent, The great powers—Britain, Italy, France and Germany—remained silent today, as they did for the most part yesterday. when the assembly adopted | a resolution calling for negotiations Jeading to the immediate cessation of hostilities and the retirement of the Japanese troops. The smaller states—Spain, Latin America, Esthopia and others—were in the saddle tody and they made the most of their opportunity. The discus- sion, unfinished after a morning and afternoon session, will be resumed Mon- day. ;‘oreign Minister Luis Zulueta of Spain reproached Japan for attempting to settle the dispute by armed force in- stead of bringing her complaints to the League. “gleuher the problem of Shanghal nor the problem of Manchuria can be fully discussed until the Japanese sol- diers evacuate China,” he said. “Evac- uation must precede negotiations.” He asserted that the nc:bly o;zt ht not recognize any agreement resulting from the Japanese military activities. Denmark Cites Peace Pact. “The League must be the bulwark of the weak against the strong,” he said. “Spain desires the League to use all the powers it possesses to settle the dispute. “Por the League, this problem is a question of to be or not to be. We ‘want it to be.” Peter Munch of Denmark asserted that the failure to declare war does not absolve a nation from its engage- ments under the Kellogg pact. The League, he said, must apply all the means at its disposal to enforce its covenant. “The conflict before the Assembly is not only the conflict at Shanghai, but the Sino-Japanese trouble in its en- tirety,” declared Dr. Giuseppe Motta of | Switzerland. | ‘We are not concerned with the ques- tion of the prestige of this state or the other, but with the moral zn juri- dicial authority of the League of Na- tions.” Special Commission Suggested. The spokesman for Esthonia con- | demned armed intervention by a strong state in the territory of a weaker nation. Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia insisted that all nations must have recourse solely pacific means in settling disputes. Nicolas Politis of Greece proposed | that the Assembly continue to treat the | problem until a settlement has been | completed. He suggested that a special Assembly commission be named to fol- low the negotiations and to execute the | Assembly’s program “for re-establish- ing peace and justice Enrique Buero of Uruguay said he was unable to accept the Japanese ex- | planation that China was an unorgan- ized state. He cited the reception of China into the League and its election to the League Council as evidence of its sovereign statehood Portugal’s cordial co-operation in re- establishing peace was offered by Fer- | nando Augusto Branco. “By the application of the covenant,” he said, “the League will assure that| justice be done between two peoples and will re-establish its prestige.” BATTLE AT NANZIANG.

By the Assoclated Press. VANCOUVER, B. C, March 5—A general, Cohen Moshe, who as Morris Cchen once peddled clothes in Van- couver’s Chinatown, is said by recent arrivals from Shanghai to have been one of the Chinese army's leaders in the recent fighting against the Jap- anese. He served in a Canadian regiment in the World War. In France he had charge of a Chinese labor group. On his return to Edmonton the Chinese there made him an adviser in business deals, and he joined the Chinese Na- tionalist League. ‘With a Chinese merchant of Edmon- ton, he went to China in 1922. Known as “Two-Gun Cohen,” he became per- sonal bodyguard to the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen, “father of the Chinese Re- public.” He later was reported to have organized and drilled thousands of men of the Cantcnese army, bringing British and other former army officers to in- struct the troops. MOVE TO SHANGHAI HITS ARMY BUDGET Chance From Tropics to Win- ter Climate Adds Heavy Expense. By the Associated Press. The shifting of an Army unit from the tropical Philippines to Wintry Shanghal has made an unforeseen gap in the Army's closely-watched budget. When the 31st Infantry was ordered to China as a precautionary move in the hostilities there, the Army reasoned that a soldier in Manila costs as much as a soldier in Shanghal. It reck- oned, however, without several elements which may yet prove expensive and necessitate savings in other activities. Principal among these is the weather. Needed More Clothing. Accustomed to the warmth of the tropiés, the regiment immediately re- uired issues of heavy clothing and ad- itional blankets for the cold weather. The Winter at Shanghai has also brought in the question of fuel to warm the troops. In the Philippines no fuel is required, but the Supply Department of the 3lst has been authorized to pro- vide necessary fuel. Another added- expenditure will be rentals and warehousing and food must be shipped either from the United States or from the Philippines. At present and until it can set up its own service, the 31st is purchasing its foodstuffs from the Navy and that service receives the major part of the 43 cents allowed each day by the army for each man’s ration. Transport Adds Expense. Motor transportation and that in- definite item which is listed under the heading of “renting of animals” also may add to the expenses. Army officials are making every ef- fort to keep the added burden within their budget by savings on other items, but will ask Congress for a deficiency appropriation if the expense becomes too great. Naval officlals estimate that that service has saved some money as a re- sult of the troubles, since, as a pre- cautionary measure, most of the vessels in the Asiatic Fleet are remaining at their stations and not making practice cruises or patrolling as in normal times. PROBE OF OFFICIAL’S DEATH MARKING TIME By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, March 5.—Any inquiry here into the death, last January 16, of S. 8. Binion, Oklahoma City attorney, will await further word from Scottsville, Ky., where Binion was buried, County Attorney Lewis R. Morris Morris, in receipt of a letter from Commonwealth’s Attorney Frank Goad of Scottsville seeking permission to disinter the lawyer's body for an autopsy, declared he would give his permission. He pointed out that facts Tevealed by such an examination in Kentucky could be used in any possible action here. Mrs. Cora B. Binion, the widow, ex- pressed surprise at the inquiry and said she would confer with Dr. J. W. Eisiminger, osteopath who attended Binion before his death. Dr. Eisiminger asserted he'was convinced heart disease caused the death and Dr. S. J. Curtis concurred. ‘The letter Morris received from Goad | said a brother, Sam Binion, had re- quested the inquiry homeland were comparatively poor. He pointed out also that a large portion of the world is closed to Japanese im- migration. Gen.

They could seemingly be welded together if both the United States and the League are willing. On | the other hand, it is possible that one or the other theory will emerge dom- inant from the Far Eastern tragedy. It is conceivable that the League will | quietly drop the idea of sanctions al- together. It is equally conceivable, if the League decides on sanctions, that the United States will join there- in. Either course will constitute a tremendous precedent. Not the fate alone of the Disarma- ment Conference, but that of the future peace system of the world, seems to depend on the result of these momen- tous discussions. Gist of American Theory. The American theory can be stated as follows: What is wanted is to prevent war. But sanctions lead almost inevitably to war. Therefore sanctions are bad. ‘War has been outlawed by the Kel- logg pact. If, nevertheless, as now in the Far East, one of its signatories | commits aggression, there is no need for armed intervention. It will be sufficlent to investigate facts, inform and mobilize public opigjon, declare that no territorial chariges brought about by force will be recognized and | then wait patiently until the offending | nation comes to its senses, as it surely | will sooner or later. | 1t is interesting to note, by the way, | that the Kellogg pact outlawing war | and its new Stimson corollary of non- recognition of military conquests were both first proposed by the Chicago lawyer, Salmon O. Levinson. Now for the League theory: This theory was also originally American. It grew out of the ideas of the old League to Enforce Peace and was re adapted by Woodrow Wilson in Paris. The way to prevent war, it says, is by | declaring and making sure in advance that any country which refuses a peaceful settlement and attacks anoth- er will find all the rest ol the world in an armed league against it. The re- sult will be that even the strongest will not dare to commit aggression. Conciliation Provided. ‘The League covenant, however, pro- vides a long series of attempts at con: ciliation before actual resort to first ecanomic and later military sanctions. And there has been an increasing ten- dency on the part of some League members to declare that they are not bound to take military sanctions at all. This tendency has given rise to increasing doubt of the League’s ef- fieacy. 1t is at the bottom of some of the world's present unrest France is the leader of the move- ment to get the League back to the original conception of armed sanctions as the best preventive of war. Great | Britain leads the opposite tendency, to | avold sanctions altogether. Germany | leads still a third trend, maintaining | that sanctions foreseen in the cov- enant can only be applied after a gen- eral disarmament treaty, as provided by Article VIIL. | Prench efforts culminated in the Geneva mutual aid protocol of 1925.| Great Britain vetoed it. Mutual aid, said Great Britain, cannot be general, but only regional. The Locarno trea- ties followed. They were to be merely the first of a series of such regional agreements. | France has been trying ever since to bring about others, but without suc- cess so far. It is still trying now in the Disarmament Conference. | Great Britain’s Position. ‘ The British theory is that the Cov- | enant can .only be fully applied if the Uniteq States joins the League or at least makes clear in advance that it will not claim neutral rights in case of League sanctions. ‘The whole problem of the co-opera- tion of the United States with the League has thus been opened. At present in Geneva, Hugh R. Wil- son, American Minister to Switzerland, is officially but discreetly effecting aily liaison between Washington and the League. Thus there is a decid- ed tendency on the part of Amer- ica to work out some scheme of reg- ular co-operation with the League in an emergency, but there is still noth- ing definite. And this indefiniteness has been used constantly by the big powers on the council, particularly Great Britain, as an excuse not fully | to apply the Covenant in the Far Eastern affair, ‘There is every indication that Great Britain today, though a member of the League, stands much closer to the American theory than to the League theory. The exact attitude of Prance, Italy and Germany is not clear because thus far they have been able to take shelter behind Great Britain's reluc- tance for sanctions. The French, how- eves, are now beginning to show signs of wanting to preserve the League sys- tem, even in the present case, where their direct interests tend to lié rather wigh Japan than with China. the League system is proved to be workable and effective, the chances of disarmament will undoubtedly be greatly increased. If it proves un- workable, indications are that Prance | will refuse to reduce armaments unless and until some other system of se- | curity, either regional or general, has | been” devised either to strengthen the | League in the future or as a substi- | tute” for the League. | (Copyright, 1932)) ;BERT HALL REPORTED EN ROUTE TO CHINA War Flyer Said to Have Sailed Yesterday, Presumably to Head Air Forces.
