The situation in the Par East with #s new crisis in Sino-Japanese affairs | = ias caused rea:, worry at the State| Department and the fear that com- plications are again American diplomatic policy, made evident in official circles yes- terday. While Cordell Hull, State. would only say that develop- | -ments in North China were being | it became manifest | closely followed, that officials were discussing privately the grave possibility of Japanese military activities south of the Great Wall on a scale and with & purpose akin to the occupation of Manchuria in the Fail of 1931. Assessing Japanese aims as includ- | ing at the least the enforced Chinese | recognition of the puppet state of Manchukuo arc the complete domi- nance of Japanese political influence in the Tientsin-Peiping area of North China. the policy of the State Depart- ment was tertatively directing itself on these lines: Close co-operation with Great Brit-' ein, the make-up of whose reshuffied cabinet encouraged hopes of a course harmonious with that of the United States in the Far East. Stimson Tactics Avoided. Abstention from any action tending to irritate Japan while a chance for @ direct Sino-Japanese solution of the troubles remains. Determination not to be precipi- tate in any event and to avoid the entanglements of the position as- sumed by Henry L. Stimson. former Secretary of State, at the outbreak of the Manchurian affair. Firm continuance of the policy of non-recognition for Manchukuo. The vacation absence of Dr. Stanley V. Homnbeck, head of the Far Eastern division of the Siate Department, who has heiped to guide American policy for the Orient through several admin- 1strations, has served to put off any Etate Department conferences on the new developments. In the more or less vague policy of (he administration, the turning of at- tention to coliaboration with Britain does not necessarily conflict with the determination to pursue a cautious path in the Far East. It is pointed out that Britain has been careful in its dealiogs with Japan. The diplo- matic influence of a united front, even if exercised in a quiet way, is emphasized. U. S. and Britain Linked. In this connection Capital observers ree significance in the exchange of bows between London and Washing- | ton which occurred only 10 days ago. The new British prime minister. Stan- ey Baldwin, and the new member of the British cabinet, Capt. Anthony Eden, in speeches following within a «day of each other, expressed the im- portance of close and friendly rela- tions with the United States as an . essurance to world peace. In a pub- lic statement Secretary Hull recipro- cated these sentiments. ‘The shifting of Sir John Simon from his former post as minister of foreign affairs to that of home affairs | !4n the British cabinet was seen here today as another step in the develop- ment of a united front. although his successor as foreign minister, Sir Sam- uel Hoare. is an unknown quantit: State Department officials have had the impression since that Sir John was taking a coursé which did not hesitate to desert the United States whenever the momentary interests of Brita'n might stand to gain. Manchurian Affair Recalled. As officials here see it the outward kigns of developments in North China parallel those at the outset of the Man- churian disturbance: Alleged provoca- tions by the Chinese in the form of banditry activities and anti-Japanese propoganda: charges by Japan that these are instigated by the Chinese authorities: drastic demands on the Chinese; military forces on the scene. It is understood that the Japanese garrison * in Tientsin has been greatly enlarged. and, more significantly, the Japanese | war machine in Manchukuo is re- ported to be ordered ready for a sweep | south beyond the Great Wall. Part of the anxiety in Washington s because of talk that Japan may be deliberately taking advantage of the | present situation in Europe and the | United States to press its course in China. Abyssinian affair and tiffs between Italy and Britain are engaging British attention. Domestic problems are taking all the attention of the admin- | istration here. . If one of the chief Japanese aims 1s designed to wrest from China recog- nition of Manclhukuo it is thought here that the real purpose is to cut the ground from under American and . British resistance to recognition of the Japanese-controlled state. Jap- anese military activities in Nortn China would be of even more concern than the Manchurian escapade. The . United States and European powers rave special treaty interests in the ' Tientsin-Peiping area. They also have a large business stake there.

BILS sm(m D HISTORIGAL SITES Asking Federal Aid in Development. BY J. A. O'LEARY. The part the Federal Government | should take in preserving for future | generations historic buildings and ob- jects throughout the country may be defined by the enactment of perma- nent, comprehensive legislation before the present session ends. | have just been reported favorably to and Increases of Japanese | Rising European troubles, the | Two bills to accomplish the purpose ' the Senate from the Public Lands Committee by Senator Murray, Demo- crat, of Montana. One bill would declare it to be a national policy to preserve for public use, historic sites, buildings and ob- | Jects. for the inspiration and benefit ! of the people of the United States. | The National Park Service is desig- nated as the agency to carry on the necessary research and formulate plans. | " The other, a companion measure, sets up a national trust fund board | to receive and administer gifts or be- quests intrusted to the National Park | Service. Backed by President. Letters included in Senator Mur- | ray's report reveal that the bills have | the backing of President Roosevelt and Secretary of Interior Ickes. It is not the purpose of the legisla- tion in its present form to vest the Government with compulsory power to take over those historic places al- | | ready being preserved for the benent | | of the public by the States or by pri- vate or patriotic organizations. It would enable the Government, how- ever, to proceed in & systematic way with surveys and research to deter- mine the historic and archaealogic ' places which possess exceptional value &s commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States. 1 In his letter to the Public Lands Committee, the President said he wished to make known his “deep in- terest in the measure. the general purpose of which is to enable the Federal Government. with the co- operation of the States and other public and private agencies, to lay a ,brnld legal foundation for, and to develop and carry on; a national pro- gram for the preservation and inter- pretation of the physical and cultural remains of our history.” | President Emphasizes Need. Another part of the President'’s let- ter read as follows: “At the present time. when so many ‘ priceless historical buildings. sites and remains are in grave danger of de- struction through the natural prog- ress of modern industrial conditions, the necessity for this legislation ve- | comes apparent. “In this connection, I feel that lhe Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, to the rjurhdltuon of which I assigned (ml! general activity by executive oiders of June 10 and July 28, 1933, should | be authorized to carry forward this increased program and to lcquhe‘ | such property as it is decided is nec- | | essary to the furtherance of nme ends. The general machinery for | this work can be developed by the | National Park Service with little ad- | | dittonal expense.” As reported by the committee, the bill makes the acquisition of historic | | property, by gift or otherwise, one of | the functions of the Government, but only when authorized by Congress. | The bill also contains a proviso “that | no such property which is owned by any religious and educational insti- tution, or which is owned or admin- istered for the benefit of the public, shall be so acquired without the con- sent of the owner.” Ickes Sees Need for Policy. In his indorsement of the legisia- tion Ickes said that, while all Amer- | icans may well be proud of the ac- complishments of the Federal Gov- ernment in preserving the natural and scenic treasures of the country, “many are impressed with the fact | that no well-defined national policy has obtained for setting aside, com- memorating and preserving historic sites and buildings which represent | outstanding experiences of the I'fe | history of our Nation. Unfortunately, | many buildings that would be highly p:lud today hlv: llrndy disap- to establish a self-governing sone” in| | the Peiping and Tientsin regions as |soon as Nanking troops have with- drnwn. in compliance with Japan's ‘demnndl was reported today in dis- patches from Pelping: | | The sone’s government, the dis-| patches said, would be entirely civilian, | excluding all Chinese military influ- | ence. | Observers noted lllnmclntly the | ’slmlllflty of these dispatches to Jap- | anese press accounts of developments in Manchuris before the establish- | ment of the Japanese-sponsored em- pire of Manchoukuo. Dispatches to the Rengo (Japanese) | News Agency reported the Chinese were ready to yleld to all Japan's de- mands. They indicated the crisis ! might drag on for a fortnight. | Admiral Prank B. Upham, com- | manding the United States Asiatic Fleet, asserted, however, that the| American naval forces in the Far East | were not concerned with the matter, | The admiral said the American de- | stroyer was making its Summer base at Chefoo and would proceed on. var | rious week ends to Tangku, where shore parties would proceed on luvz |to Peiping. ‘ | vide for the restoration of peared and nany others are daily dis- appearing. Within the past few years public interest has been increasingly aroused and focused on the subject, and much has been accomplished by the States and by private associations and individuais. The Secretary pointed out that from time to time Congress has pro- certain national historic shrines. but. added, “it has become apparent that if the Federal Government is to per- form the full measure of its duty in this respect, further legislation will be necessary. “The National Government,” Ickes | continued. “cannot be expected to ar- rest all losses of these priceless relics of the past, but it can lend its au- thority and aid toward such an end he | and can acquire by gift. or in some cases by purchase, historic sites and buildings of national significance.” The Secretary also pointed out that the great majority of historic houses, over 400 in number, now operated for the benefit of the public in this coun- try, are owned and maintained by States, patriotic associations and in- dividuals. It is believed that much can be accomplished by mutual co- operation between all agencies inter- ested In the subject and the bill would authorize such co-operation upon the part of the Federal Gov- ernment. ® * *” The two bills probably will have a chance to be considered on the next call of the unanimous consent calen- dar in the Senate. Both bills were introduced by Senator Byrd, Demo- crat, of Virginia. 1935—PART ONE. ROOSEVELT HELD SEEKING ADVICE James Tells Texas Demo- crats Father Desires Sentiment on N.R.A. By the Associated Press. AMARILLO, Tex., June 8—Presi- | dent Roosevelt wants the people to “advise him what to do” about the scrapped N. R. A. codes, his son James told a strife-torn convention of young Texas Democrats today. He asserted his father had an- swered a cry of “do not give up the gains that have already taken place” by putting the issue up to the people “to examine from top to bottom and advise him what to do.” ‘The address of the first son of the President was heard by a convention sharply divided between proponents of States’ rights and others favoring a constittional amendment to legalize the N. R. A. features ruled out by the Supreme Court. “The N. R. A. and other alpha- betical agencies were passed at a time when the country was facing a crisis,” James Roosevelt said. “Action was demanded by the peo- ple. Any man, regardiess of who he was, had to act to the best of his ability. There was no time to go to the Supreme Court and ask if this measure or that measure was con- stitutional. The leaders alone had the responsibility of putting them into effect. “Which do you prefer, the man who was willing to take a chance. | who would dare to do something, or fhe man who would sit back and do First Again!

R. A. were not submitted. The resolution opposing constitu- tional changes was bitterly fought by members of the progressive “Uni- versity Club” group on the ground that it would block progressive legis- lation.
