THE SUNDAY ‘BTAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.. DECEMBER 22, 1933—PART ONE. JAPAN WILL CURB TEXTILESFORU. S, Ambassador Informs State Department of Informal Agreement. By the Associated Press. Hirosl Saito, Japan's Ambassador, informed the State Department yes- terday that Japanese cotton textile manufacturers have agreed voluntarily to restrict their exports to the United States. The Japanese assurance, conveyed by the Ambassador to Francis B. Sayre, Assistant Secretary of State, was not in the form of a formal agreement, nor did it specify the limit to which the exports would be reduced. Suggested by U. S. It was in response to a depanment suggestion that some voluntary con- trol be applied to such shipments, in view of the heavy Japanese exports against which American manufac- turers had protested. A State Department announcement said: “The Ambassador informed Mr. Sayre that his government authorized him to say that Japanese manufac- turers and exporters of cotton textiles have decided voluntarily to restrict their exports to the United States. “He said further that this self-im- posed restriction of shipments to the American market is already in force, and that in view of the assurance of | the Japanese exporters that they would continue to hold such shipments to moderate levels, there is little like- lihood of repetition of such abnormal increases in exports of cotton textiles to the United States as occurred dur- ing the first six months of 1935.” 1935 Shipments Heavy. At the same time the State Depart- ment made public figures showing that for the first 10 months of 1835 Japan shipped to America 42.530,000 square yards of cotton textiles, valued at $2,100,000. The imports reached a peak value of $279,000 last March, dropped to $62,000 in September and rose to $146,000 in October. The Japanese action follows within | 8 few months a ‘“gentlemen’s agree- ment” between the United States and | Japan, under which Japan agreed to limit for two years its exports of cot- ton piece goods to the Phl]lppine Islands to 45,000,000 square meters an- | nually, leaving the United States to supply an equal amount of the approx- imately 90,000,000 square meters, Tepre- | senting total annual Philippine con- | sumption.

The Little Entente, Turkey and Greece, answered eagerly the call for | assistance from London. This is natural. They all have an ez to grind against Italy. The Yugoslavs have been yearning for a fight with the Italians ever since the Yugoslav state was created in 1919. The Rumanians and the Czechoslovaks dislike Italy because of her cordial relations with the Hungarians. The Turks are wor- ried lest Mussolini may want some day to expand his sphere of influ= ence into Asia Minor, while the Greeks have been traditionally at the side of the British. King George, the recently reinstated Greek monarch, has spent most of his exile time in London, where the British court and the British people treated him with all the courtesies due royalty. * % ¥ ¥ The suggestion of organizing & League of Nations Military police force, so frequently ridiculed in the past in Great Britain, is likely to become a reality. It is the last hope of the “sanc- tions-at-any-price” powers to get France's military and naval support. The idea of approaching first the powers of the Eastern Mediter- ranean to form a coalition against Italy is logical. The Western Med- iterranean powers have no animos- ity against Italy. Both France and Spain have done in Northern Africa—the campaign against Abd- El-Krim is just 10 years old—what" Italy is doing now in Ethiopia. The only difference is that the Riff had not become a member of the League of Nations. But once the nucleus of a mihury force to combat Italy is formed, it is more than likely that France and possibly Spain would be dragged into AY | the general conflict. * Xx X ¥ For the time being the majority of the French newspapers—reported heavily subsidized by Mussolini—are campaigning against “pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for the Brit- PAINT Enamel Your Kitchen Table and Chairs With PEE GEE ARTLAC 65¢ Pt. Ut 710 13th N.W. last World War | was so shaken when he signed | ish Empire.” They are discovering EARS were running down the| that Britain is precipitating a con- flict on its own accord. These news- papers say that the British Fleet was sent to the Mediterranean without a mandate from the League of Nations. There have been no discussions and no vote at Geneva authorizing the Brit- ish to adopt a policy full of dangerous possibilities. —so0 the Paris papers say—had not even been consulted when the British government decided to send the home fieet to Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria and Haifa. Not that the British gov- ernment needed the authorization of the French to move their ships into their own naval stations in the Med- iterranean. But, it is argued, when a nation wants the naval support of another and moves its men-of-war, fully realizing that they may have to fight, it is customary to discuss the matter with the other interested gov- | | ernment, o A Despite the distaste of the French | people for becoming involved in a war | which is not their own; despite the | fear of the rulers of France that such a war would play directly into the | hands heavily of Germany, the odds are in favor of France being | dragged ultimately into a conflict on | selfish as to refuse to be killed in nf affairs, including Ambassador William | it for the King of England—the Brit- | | the side of Great Britain against Italy. * ‘That another war in Europe and the Far East is inevitable has become now a foregone conclusion. Washington diplomats and the State Department do. not deny that only a miracle can save the world from such a catastrophe. ‘The opinions are divided, however, as to where it will start first. Because Congress will not vote the new neutrality bill, containing in all probabdility an embargo on raw materials, before the end of February, it is believed that things may not break in Europe before next Spring. In the meantime experts on Asiatic Bullitt, recently returned from Mos- cow, are of the opinion that an armed conflict between Japan and the Soviets may develop in the course of the next few weeks. But whether we look toward Europe or Asia the conclusion is the same. Mussolini 10 vears ago and the British general staff 5 years ago were right when they said that 1936 will be the fatal year for the Old World. EVANGELIST IS HELD Failure to File Tax Return in 1931 Charged to Ethel Duncan. LOS ANGELES, December 21 (#).— Ethel Duncan, evangelist, known on the radio as “the Good Samaritan of the Air,” surrendered yesterday to face a Federal indictment charging failure to file an income tax return in 1931 although she allegedly made more than $86,000. Mrs. Duncan, founder and pastor of the First Church of the Apostles in Los Angeles, and her former husband, Lloyd Prewitt, also indicted, were ac- cused of seeking to evade taxes of more than $5,300. “None of the money passed through my hands,” said Mrs. Duncan. “It went to my church and was given to| the poor and needy.” Last Minute Christmas Needs At Low Prices (s:b:l:';l Fine Assorted 85c et 8-Light il T 29¢ & 59c Qu!door Tree Lk’ 7¢ &51.39 e vt * 79¢ g vl many kinds, from_10CUP Toieal. _$1.19up Many Other Specials S oy il The Gibson Co. 917 K St. N.W.

Six new theaters, costing approxi- mately $4,000,000, will be built here in the immediate future as additions to the Warner Bros. chain, H. M. Warner, president of Warner Bros. Pictures and the Stanley Co. of Amer- ica, announced yesterday. The building program calls for be- ginning construction at once on the Uptown _Theater, already placed at Connecticut avenue and Newark street. The five other houses are expected to be completed before the end of next year. The Penn Theater, Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue south- east, was not included in the six. It will be dedicated Friday. Accompanied by Joseph Bernhard, vice president in charge of operation of theaters for Warner Bros., Warner yesterday visited the six sltea Four are in the northwest section of the city, one in Georgetown and one in the southeast. The exact locations ‘were not announced. The chain head approved the sites and preliminary plans made by John J. Payette, general zone manager in the Washington territory. The new theaters, will be of the latest design. Each will be of the two-floor type with seating capacities of from 1,000 to 1,500 persons. The additional theaters will bring the Warner chain here up to 19. The concern operates some 500 throughout the ,country. “Mr. Warner made a special trip to Washington for the purpose of ap- proving the building of these new theaters,” Payette said. “He assured me that wherever an expanding com- munity warrants an additional the- ater, he wishes to keep pace With local progress and development.” 'YALE GETS VALUABLE DATA ON FRANKLIN | William S.
