The underlying basis of such an understanding is simple enough. “It's much better,” say the Tokio rulers to Chiang Kai Shek, “to | abandon the western powers and plm,"K with us. We can take as much terri- | tory as we want from you and drive you even out of Nanking. But we | will leave you alone if you sign a nice little pact whereby you hand the eco- nomic and political interests to us.” And Chiang Kai Shek is quite willing A portrait of Gen. Robert E.

QL 8t. NE Metropolitan 4861 to follow the Japanese advice. The ruler of Nanking has always had a soft spot for the Japanese. He started life as a customs man in a brokerage house in Canton, and be- came & soldier later. Part of his military training was achieved in | Tokic—hence his admiration for the Japanese Army. The reason why he had not come to terms with Japan earlier was that his cabinet was nat ripe for it. They all believed that neither the United States nor Great | Britain could afford to allow Japan to gain an absolute supremacy in China. and that sooner or later Japan will be forced to abandon her mili- | tary conquests, either by the action | of the League of Nations or by the determined opposition of Britain and America. Now Chiang Kai Sheck has | shown them conclusively that nothing | can be expected from those quarters and a Japanese-Chinese understand- ing is very likely. * e Reports from Shanghai indicate that the Japanese have launched against Chiang Kai Sheck what the British used to call “the St. George's | cavalry.” The British $5 gold pieces have on the back the image of St. George. These coins were used ex- tensively during the World War for the purpose of buying the support of the Arabs against the Turks, and were more feared by the Central pow- ers than Lord Allenby's lancers. * ok ok % Those who saw in the severe Ger- man economic crisis the downfall of the Hitler regime are disappointed. The Winter has been a bad one in the Reich. The economic isolation of Germany is almost complete. Her finances are in a bad shape, food is scarce. But the Germans seem to stand the brunt without murmur. More than ever, they consider them- | selves as God's chosen nation. The jealous outside world, they think, is trying to break down their resistance, but won't succeed. ‘There is no doubt that the nation is suffering, but the Germans are all pulling together, tightening their belts and are decided to weather the storm on the scanty raw materials they can produce in the Reich, or obtain from certain countries on the barter system. There is also no doubt that the spirit of co-operation between the so- cial classes of Germany is stronger than ever. During the hunting sea- son all the hunters donated two- thirds of the bag to the unemployed and hungry. The meals in the well- to-do families have been cut down to essentials, the balance being sur- are taking care of the paupers. When a prospective fare wants to take a tari from a stand, there i3 a whispered discussion among the drivers, and the man who has the largest family or has had bad luck during the day will be allowed to take the passenger. A wave of mysticism has taken grip of Germany ard is helping the Ger- mans to stand hardships which few other nations in Europe would have stood without rebelling against the government which has gotten them in that mess. * k x x ‘The barter system is getting very popular in international transactions. The Brazilian government needs a number of destroyers, submarines and other minor craft. It has invited ten- ders from British, Italian and Dutch navy yards, and proposes to pay for the war vessels in kind instead of cash. The procedure for payment will be the following: The firms will sub- mit a contract in their own national currency. translate the offer into various goods, valued according to the existent rate of exchange. Coffee is to be excluded from this barter, since the Brazilian government admits that it is “rather a drug on the market.” The goods which the Brazilians are offering in exchange for warships are cotton, rum, sugar, hides and dye woods.

GENEVA, January 30.—League of ICOURT REJECTION {AGTION ON COURT SECOND N9 YEARS 1926 Vote Was for Adher- ence, but Reservations Balked Entrance. The Senate’s rejection of American membership in the World Court Nations circles learned with keen dis- }mnrked the second time Congress has appointment today of the United |acted on the question. States Senate’s rejection of American adherence to the World Court. The opinion had been held generally that ratification of the protocol was certain, The news brought from representa- tives of the powers expressions of be- lief that the Senate’s action consti- tutes a severe blow to the bullding up of international law and promotizn of peace through the policy of set- tling disputes by judicial process. It was pointed out that the world powers at a special conference offered the United States a privileged form of membership in the court which no other member enjoys. Some spokesmen declared the result should be a lesson to Europe to dis- continue offering special privileges to the United States as the price of American participation in interna- tional organisms. ‘The United States, they said, should accept the same responsibility in world affairs as other nations or remain cut- side the organizations of international co-operation. BRITAIN UNMOVED BY VOTE. Not to Withdraw From Commitments or Future Undertakings. LONDON, January 30 (#)—Britain will not be influenced to withdraw from its present commitments or any of its future undertakings in connect- ion with European affairs as a result of the rejection by the United States Senate of adherence to the World Court, it was stated in official circles today. These quarters, nevertheless, were still hopeful that the day will come when the United States will take a more active part in European affairs. Keen disappointment was expressed here when the Senate action became known, since previous reports had indicated sentiment was favorable toward joining the international body. The fact that a minority of the Sena- tors voted to make payment of war debts a condition for adherence was deplored by government officials. COURT DEFEATED ROOSEVELT TURNS TO FUSE STRENGTH (Continued From First Page.) The Bank of Brazil will| United States who by more than 200,- 000 telegrams containing at least 1,000,000 names demanded that the principles established by Washington and Jefferson shall keep us clear from foreign entanglements and European hatred.” “Our thanks are due to Almighty God in that American retains her sov~ erelgnty.” he said. Robinson previously had accused Father * Goughlin of ‘lnflammnwry radio statements not based on faci The first definite sign that adher- ence advocates were in danger of de- feat came when Robinson accepted a reservation, with President Roose- velt's consent, providing that this country could not submit any ques- | tion to the tribunal without conclud- | ing a “general or special” treaty with a disputant. Bulow Makes Speech. At first it appeared this would | cinch ratification, but Senators John- son and Norris, Republicans, of Ne- braska, said it was merely an attempt to change votes. Then William J. Bu- low former Democratic Governor of South Dakota, made his first speech on the floor since he became a Sena- tor four years ago, expressing what appeared to be the feeling of many who only a few days ago were ready to vote adherence. He said he had changed his mind after listening to the debate and finding that almost every Senator who favored adherence wanted reservations. “That leads me to the conclusion that it might be a dangerous thing to go into,” he asserted. “* * * I must walk with my conscience.” ‘While some foreign spokesmen were regarding the Senate vote as an | “isolation” move, several House mem- bers approved of the action. Repre- sentative Sabath, Democrat. of Illi- nois, dean of the House, said, “For- eign nations have not treated us as they should and there is no reasou why we should submit to their diplo- matic whims.” Chairman Connery of the House Labor Committee said, “It's the great- est news I've heard this year.” Public Opinion Changed. As one who previously favored join- ing the Court, Representative Fish, Republican, of New York, said: “There is no question that public opinion has changed, largely due to the fact that European nations have repudiated their debts * * *.” The Senate vote demonstrated that the huge Democratic majority—now four more than two-thirds of the rmembership—cannot be counted upon to uphold the administration on all issues. Twenty Democrats left the Roose- velt camp. They were joined by 14 Republicans, the Progressive La Fol- lette of Wisconsin and the Farmer- Lahorite Shipstead of Minnesota. Forty-three Democrats and nine Republicans voted for adherence. Of four doubtful Senators called to the White House yesterday mornmng for individual conferences with the President, only Senator Cutting, Re- publican, of New Mexico, who won re- election in November despite lack of administration support, voted for the court. The other three—all Demo- crats—went against it. They were Donahey, Ohio; Gerry, Rhode Island, and Walsh, Massachusetts. Diplomats in Audience. Galleries packed with an audience that included noted diplomats listened intently to the long debate yesterday. In a final appeal to the Senate, Rob- inson bore down heavily on Father Coughlin. “The whole effect and purpose of the campaign during the last few days has been to terrify those in favor of the court,” he asserted, swinging his clenched fist. “There isn’t an iota of an argument upon which to rest the conclusion that in joining the court the United States endangers the life or property of sur citizens or involves us in European €n- tanglements.” He said the campaign had been car- ried on by “agencies outside the Sen- ate” and “every one was inspired by inflammatory radio statements not based on fact.” “Do you refer to your own radio ‘speech M night?” inquirdd Senator In 1926 the Senate voted for ad- herence, 76 to 17. The latest vote was a direct outgrowth of the first one. Curiously enough, it came within two days of falling on the ninth anniver- sary. The first congresslonal move on the issue was made with the introduction on February 26, 1923, by Senator King, Democrat, of Utah of a resolution proposing that the United States join the Court. He acted two days after President Harding had recommended this step to the Senate.» It did not come to a vote until Jan- uary 27, 1926, when the Senate passed it. In doing so, however, it attached five reservations which were not ac- ceptable to other members of the Court, and thus prevented America from entering. Long and bitter controversy fol- lowed. Three years later Elihu Root drafted a formula under which for- eign opposition to the American res- ervations was overcome. In the same year, on December 9, formally | 1929, the United States signed the protocal of adherence, but Senate ratification was necessary be- fore the United States could become & member. It was on the question of ratifica- tion that yesterday's vote was taken. EVENTUAL ENTRY INTO COURT SEEN Friends of U. S. Adherence Dis- appointed, but Hold Out Hope. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 30.—Elihu Root, venerable former Secretary of State, expressed disappointment last night at the action of the Senate against entry into the World Court. “I think the majority of the Senate which has been defeated * * *” he | said, “truly represents with the Preq-‘ dent the sober judgment and the sin- cere conviction of the American | people, who wish their country to do its share toward promoting peace with justice in the world. “I do not for a moment doubt that this great American majority will yet cause their will to be made effective by their Government.” Others commenting included: Newton D. Baker, former Secretary | of War—"The force of peace has suf- | fered a defeat. This means we must continue the campaign of education.” Dr. Mary E. Woolley, president of Mount Holyoke College—“The un- thinkable has happened.” Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt—“When there is a group of Senators who can- not change their minds, it is ‘time to | change the Senators.” Miss Jane Addams of Chicago— “This defeat is only a $emporary one. | ‘The United States will eventually vote to go into the World Court.™ Mrs. Percy B. Pennybacker, presi- dent of the Chautauqua Women's Clubs—"“We must launch a still more intensive campaign.” Huey Long, Democrat, of Louisiana, | and a roar came from the packed gal- | leries. Talk Unsupported by Facts. | “I have in mind an address by the | Rey. Father Coughlin,” Robinson re- | plied hotly, “in which he made decla- rations not supported by the record of the facts. He permitted his imagina- | tion to run riot.” Blind Senator Schall, Republican, of Minnesota, started to inquire about the radio speech of Mrs. Roosevelt | favoring the court, but the Democratic leader cut him short. saying he did | not wish to yield for Schall “to make | one of his characteristic attacks upon the President.” Senator Johnson said the Thomas reservation, identical with one he had intended to offer, was proposed by the administration “to enable some one to change his vote.” “Who is going to be fooled by this kind of a move?” he asked. Norris Move Fails. Senator Norris, whose Treservation requiring Senate approval of all ques- tions to be submitted to the court was rejected after President Roosevelt said it infringed upon his rights to conduct the Nation’s foreign affairs, tried to get the same thing by pro- posing to strike out “general” treaties in the Thomas reservation, but lost. So did Senator Borah when he tried to strengthen the reservation with clarifying language. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, went on the air last night to point to the dangers of the court and Representative Tinkham, Repub- lican, of Massachusetts, started by air- plane from Boston for the Canital to seek an investigation of what he termed financing of World Court prop- aganda by foreign and domestic bank- ing interests. Third Defeat in Two Years. Senate rejection of the pact was President Roosevelt’s third major legislative defeat in the almost two years of his administration. The other two came last session. when the Senate rejected -the St. Lawrence waterway treaty and enacted more liberal veterans benefits over the Chief Executive’s veto. There have been other minor upris- ings against the White House leader- ship, but all have been quelled or com- promised. One was the approval of a cash bonus bill by the House last | from Attorney General session. It was rejected by the Senate howeve Speech Too Long, Republican Loses ‘Cinch’ Amendment By the Associated Press. Representative Crawford, Re- publican, of Michigan has found that it doesn't always pay to be too ardent in support of legisla- tion to which there is no op- position. Offering an nmendmem to the bill to extend the life of the R. F. C, Crawford Was told by Chairman Steagall of the Bank- ing Committee that there wouid be no opposition to the change. Crawford wanted to talk about it anyway—and did. Democrats, who are seeking speed on the bill, were irritated. When a vote was called they shouted the amendment down. R.F. C.

Working against time, the House last night passed the administration's biil to give the Reconstruction Finance DIPLOMATS IRKED BY COURT DEFEAT Many Representatives Had Predicted America’s Ad- herence Was Assured. The defeat of the World Court! protocol in the Senate yesterday| caused a good many headaches in the Washington diplomatic corps. Most of the representatives of the \ principal European pdwers had sent reports to their governments during the last few weeks indicating America’s adherence to the World Court was -.ssured. e reports were based on the con- versulom the diplomats had with high officials of the State Department and on the fact President Roosevelt was strongly behind this measure. Few Became Hesitant. A few of the Washington foreign diplomats became hesitant during the « A-3 co-operation between the United States and the Lepgue of Nations. Closer Relatlonship Seen, The European chancellories expect- ed confidently that America's joining of the World Court would be fol- lowed shortly by certain declarations from the White House indicating a closer relationship between America and Europe. All these dreams have come now to an end, and the European govern- ments are once more aware that they must count America out in all their political schemes for the future. REMOVAL OF CENTER |AIRPORT ROAD URGED Logan-Thomas Circle Citizens’ Association Seeks Moving to South of Field. The Logan-Thomas Circle Citizens’ Association last night recommended that the Military road in the middle of the Washington Airport be re- moved to the south side of the field. Attention was called by the asso- ciation, which met in the home of its president, Mr. Ella M. Thompson, 1120 Rhode Island avenue, to ob- jections made by Army and Navy officials to the placing of an airport last few days, but the majority could | at Gravelly Point. not conceive that legislation so strong- 1y supported by Mr. Roosevelt could be defeated.

The bill now goes back to the Senate, which already has approved it, for action on House amendments. The R. F. C. will die tomorrow un- less the legislation is pushed through to final enactment, and President Roosevelt has signed it before then. More Liberal on Loans. As passed by both Senate and House, the measure would give the R. F. C. more liberality in making loans to private industry. Republicans and Democrats alike have complained that existing law is too strict and has cramped the agency greatly in mak- ing advances to industry. The life of the agency would be extended to Feb- ruary 1, 1937, The liberalization was effected by | changing the present requirement of | “adequate security” for loans to in- dustry so as to call merely for reason- able assurance of repayment. Conditional Assistance. The R. F. C. measure provided that any assistance given by the institution to any financial institution shall be | conditioned upon agreement by the institution that it would not use the furds in reorganizing any real estate | enterprise, with outstanding debts of $50.000 or more unless the reorganiza- tion plan and fees and expenses were approved by the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission. Jesse Jones, R. F. C. chairman, lis- tened to the House discussion. One of the House amendments ne- cessitating conference action was that to authorize loans to institutions financing the sale of electrical equip- ment. Anaogher would authorize Joans to help de\'elop domestic tin deposits. M’DUFFIE IS ASSURED OF FEDERAL JUDGESHIP Representative Is Choice of Sen- ators and Administration for Alabama Bench. By the Associated Press. Choice of the administration and approved by both Alabama Senators, Representative McDuffie, Democrat, of Alabama appeared certain today to mount the Federal bench in the southern district of Alabama. The White House was expected to send his name to the Senate for con- firmation soon after the request of Judge R. T. Ervin for retirement reaches President Roosevelt’s desk, Senators Black and Bankhead of Alabama announced that on inquiry Cummings they had indorsed the administration selection, reported as concurred in by Mr. Roosevelt, Vice President Garner, Democratic Chairman Farley and | Cummings. MAJ. HOLLOCK DIES Maj. Roland M. Hollock, U. S. A., retired, died Monday night in Walter Reed Hospital. Born in Harrisburg, Pa., on June 25, 1875, Maj. Hollock was appointed a captain in the Army Service Corps in 1918, and in 1920 joined the Judge Advocate General's Department with the rank of major. Since then he had served in Chicago, the Canal Zone and in China, retiring in 1932. His home was at 118 Masonic View, Alex- andria. His widow, Mrs. Lillian A. Hollock, survives. Funeral services will be held at the Fort Myer chapel tomorrow at 2:30 p.m.,, awith full military honors. Burial with Masonic rites will be in Arling- ton National Cemetery. President Limits Court Comment to Thanking Robinson President Roosevelt’s only pub- lic comment today upon the Senate rejection of the World Court was an expression of ap- preciation for the support given by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, majority leader of the Senate, and the others who voted with him. The President said he was grateful to Senator Robinson for his able and honorable fight, as well as the others who sup- ported the World Court. He added that he was sending a letter to Senator Robinson ex- pressing these sentiments. ROOF REPAIRS Snow Removed—Leaks Stopped Gutters and Spouts Cleaned, Etc.
