PEOPLE'S COUNSEL PROTECTION ASKED Friendship Citizens’ Group Urges Post Be Filled After Token Increase. Discussing the increase in the street car and bus token rate last night, the Friendship Citizens’ Asso- ciation voted to ask that the posi- tion of people’s counsel be re-estab- lished in the District, so that such moves would not come “so suddenly and without warning.” No formal action was taken either to approve or disapprove of the rate Increase. When introducing the motion, C. D. Franks, vice president of the as- sociation, said: “In the days when we had a people’s counsel things such as this increase did not come so sud- denly and unexpectedly. We at least knew these moves were brewing and we had some one down there at the District Building to look out for us.” The association also asked that the Public Utilities Commission not al- low the transit company to take off regularly scheduled buses or street cars without giving adequate warning to regular passengers. This action was taken following the removal of a bus from the Bureau of Standards feeder line, which, as one member put it, “caused about 20 persons to walt there for a bus that never came.” Extension of this line to an area on the west side of Wisconsin avenue N.W. also was requested. Following the formal business meet- ing, a debate on suffrage in the Dis- trict was held, with William S. Finch, president of the District Suffrage As- sociation, for, and Alfred D. Cal- vert, president of the Lincoln Park | Citizens’ Association, against. Another ! &peaker last night was Edward J Lockwood, director of night schools in the District. | Woman Held in Slaying. ABBEVILLE, S.

This is the final article of a series by an American authority on Pacific affairs, who two years ago indicated in his book, “Challenge,” the present bloody developments, and here tells us what to erpect M.tt/. BY UPTON CLOSE. EMBERS of the Japanese military command are secretly taking great satisfaction in the splendid showing of the Chinese army around ‘The samurai loves & tough fight—provided he wins. But Shanghai. there is more to it than that. M forces, the first Chinese army ever operating under modern command and equipment, is proof of the cherished theory that under Japanese generalship—will be a % match for the best white armies of the world. The present bath of fire will definitely militarize the Chinese, and Japan proposes ‘to be benefitted, not checkmated, by that militarization. Nippon’s empire-builders have long, long thoughts. They have been un- successful in trying to make good sol- diers of the Koreans. For five years they have spent an enormous amount of effort and money trying to train the half-Mongolized, frontier Chinese of Manchukuo into dependable modern fighters. The results have been dis- appointing. But in Chinese from south of the Yangtze, who compose Chiang Kai-shek’s crack divisions, they see demonstrated—although at the moment directed against them- selves—the stuff of invincible armies. How long before those men now fired by hatred of the “Nippon dwarfs” can be drilled to fight for the Son of Heaven? In the end, race will tell— race, education and iron discipline. The present dispute is but a clash be- tween brothers, bitter but soon healed, say the Japanese. Is it any more bit- ter than that between the American colonies and mother England, or be- tween the North and South in our Civil War? Japanese Teaching Ordered. A few days age in Manchukuo schools were ordered to teach in the Japanese language. Peasants who re- main in North China villages are brought under the rigid crop supervi- sion of the Japanese army’s agricul- tural department. They are being directed to plant cotton and they are supplied with good Texas seed. Thus does Japanization march behind Nip- pon’s soldiers. Japan may fail by overdoing this Nipponization.

Meanwhile Japan embarks upon a huge campalign of “cultural export”— we call it propaganda—to consolidate her gains. For Asia it is a reiteration of Pan-Aslanism: The doctrine that the West has had its day—it is Asia’s turn to lead. With regard to Amer- ica and Europe it is the sending of top business men and journalists on “good-will” missions to explain the Japanese side of the argument. The Asia campaign is blocked out along three lines. Among the Bud- dhist nations—Siam, Burma, Tibet and the Mongols—Japan promotes the Pan-Buddhist government, with the argument that if respect for the Lord Buddha is to survive he must be cham- pioned by one first-class power and the rest of Buddha-land must support that power. The Buddhist revival off- sets Russian influence in central Asia, | keeps Siam’s 2,000,000-ton annual rice surplus available to Japan and sus- tains the devotion of the Japanese population of the Hawaifan Islands, Commercial Propaganda. | The second line of the Pan-Asian campaign is designed to appeal to all Asiatic and other economically-primi- | tive people who hanker for the com- | modities of modern industry but are| too poor to buy at Western prices. “Why shouldn't we Asiatics,” asks Japan, “have these products of the machine as well as Americans and | Europeans?

The third line is being shaped up. It is designed for the Moslem world, and is & canny scheme to support Italy in undermining British prestige in North Africa, the Near East and Moslem In- dia, While these appeals go out to Asia and Africa, Mr. influential Japanese journalist; Baron Matsukata, leader in the ofl and shipping indus- tries, and Mr. Nomura, No. 1 Japanese Rotarian, arrive in America to explain that Japan has been forced against her will to fight in China and to repeat that she wants no territory in China and will carefully respect the open door there. They present evidence that the Chinese patriots built up national- ism by using Japan as a punching bag. Japan, of course, fairly laid her- self open to this treatment, and every nation has used fear of some other country to weld its people together. But the idea is to make talk, delaying action. Japan’'s new pledges to respect — THURSDAY, China'’s territory and preserve the open door permit America to protest about the present treatment of our oil interests in Manchuria and Japan, and to call attention to the failure to ob- serve previous pledges. Then there are the claims for destruction of property at Shanghai. Thus Washington can be enticed into negotiation. Some practi~ cal-minded members of the American community in North China are here under Japanese encouragement to stimulate such negotiation. While we listen, talk and negotiate the Japanese Empire marches on along the line marked out by Lord Hotta in 1858: “It is entirely against reason to convert into formidable enemies the nations which we could in time use to our advantage . . . The object should always be kept in view of laying the foundation for securing hegemony over all nations.” Modern Japanese would limit Lord Hotta’s “all nations” to “all Asia and the West Pacific.” But Japan in 1937 has taken an-immense stride toward the goal. The length of the stride has almozt unbalanced her. She is applying herself now to restor= ing her balance, while maintaining her gain. Of this much Japan is sure: The prestige of the white man in Asia is Jelictns 12141220 ¥ STRERT THIS EVENING YOU WILL SHINE Thanks to 5/1'.;05514 (7{/%’6/13 ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM This evening ‘it's positively your duty to shine . your skin is jaded.
