According to Mr. Kawakami, the Japanese statesmen are anxious to re- store friendly relations with the United States, but have not been able to do so because “Japan’s national pride did not permit her to make a move in that di- | hibition advocate who for more than two months roamed the Western North Carolina Mountains as “Reynolds ers,” a strange bearded character, today described the scene she said took place when her husband recognized her yesterday.

He said he would also vote for a proposal for re- peal of the eighteenth amendment to be submitted to the States. Chairmanship Undecided. Senator King, who is ranking Demo- eratic member of the District ‘Commit- tee, plans to confer within a day or two with Oscar H. Brinkman, counsel to the sub-committee studying the rent| situation in Washington, to acquaint himself with the status of the inquiry. ‘The next meeting of the rent subcom- mittee has been set for November 28.

Then, just as the conductor blew the whistle for the Dunkirk train, the spe- cial police squad dashed 'up with Trotzky.

'PROSPERITY LINKED ‘ T0 PEACE BY GREW | U. §S. Envoy to Japan Reminds | Japanese Business Men of | War Disasters. By the Associated Press. OSAKA, Japan, November 22— American Ambassador Joseph C. Grew today reminded a gathering of Japanese | business leaders of the close connection | | between peace and prosperity on one hand and warlike activities and eco- nomic disaster on the other. He was speaking at a dinner given in | his honor by the America-Japan So- | ciety of Osaka, which was attended largely by leading business men. “Nobody can appreciate better than | you business men,” the Ambassador |said, “that financial and economic | prosperity is corollary to permanent | peace. “Organized warfare of any nature is a heavy financial burden. In some | cases it is financially and economically devastating. The machinery of war- fare in itself is one of the greatest | drains on the exchequers of the world.” The Ambassador did not specifically mention the economic outlook of Japan | involving the prospect that the em- | pire’s 1933-34 budget will be swollen by the needs of the army in Manchuria, nor that it will approximate the record | figure of 2,238,000,000 yen, with a deficit approaching 1,000,000,000 yen. (This deficit would be about $200.000,000.) The Ambassador said the peace policy of the United States, far from being contrary to the real interests of Japan, “is precisely in accord with those in- terests,” adding that the American peo- ple are interested in financially islab]v and prosperous Japan.” “The American people, heart and | soul, he said, are behind world efforts In this con- nection, he mentioned the Disarmament Conferences, the covenant of the League of Nations, the World Court and “above all the Kellogg-Briand pact definitely outlawing war.
