JAPAN FLOUTS KELLOGG PACT IN GRAB AT MANCHURIA

WORLD POWERS STAND AGHAST. BUT HELPLESS Strong Hand of Military Clique Seen Back of Careful Planning. ASIA DOMINANCE ISSUE Nippon Feels It Can Not Afford to Let China Become United. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS Scripp*-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.—While the other greater powers stood aghast but helpless, tiheir hands tied by political and economic troubles of their own, the Japanese army has tightened its stranglehold on Manchuria. In so doing it trampled underfoot the toothless Kellogg pact and scrapped the nine-power treaty signed at Washington “to respect • the sovereignty, the independence jid the territorial and administrative integrity of China.” That the war in Manchuria was begun by the Chinese “who fired first,” as claimed by the Japanese, is not borne out by information received here. On Friday, it was understood that the Nakamura incident had been smoothed over through the efforts of the Japanese foreign minister and the Mukden authorities. On Saturday, Mukden had fallen and Japanese forces had occupied every strategic center and port over an area of 150 miles, and had landed at Tsingtao, in Shantung. Regarded Out of Question That such widespread operations were “spontaneous,” or due to a group of panicky Chinese soldiers firing at the Japanese, is regarded by competent observers here as out of the question. “There is plenty of evidence,” a military attache told the writer, “that the whole movement was planned carefully in advance. The simultaneous cutting of communications and the seizure of a score of Chinese barracks, aviation fields, railway centers, ports and cities in widely separated areas, would have been impossible without careful preparations.” That the cabinet at Tokio ordered the military operations in Manchuria is not believed here at this time. The impression is that ■the military clique, always powerful in Japan, has gained the upper hand and acted on its own initiative. Japan’s China policy, regardless of the party in power, however, has one big objective, namely, to bring Manchuria and eastern Mongolia under her influence. But when it comes to the manner of bringing this about, the country is pretty evenly divided. Advocates Peace Policy One faction, new represented in the foreign office by Baron Shidehara, advocates a policy of peaceful penetration accompanied by profitable commerce between the two nations. The other, the military faction, insists upon “a strong hand.” They would watch their chance and the first time the world situation was such as to prevent foreign interference, simply take what they Wanted on the Asiatic mainland. With or without the consent of the cabinet at Tokio, the military today have applied the "strong hand.” By so doing they have burnt their bridges behind them. For one certain result of the latest Japanese aggression will be to make the Chinese boycott against Japanese products virtually 100 per cent effective. From now on, Japan will have to move forward, not backward. What has happened, has happened, and the Chinese have long memories. ‘Japan, therefore, may as well go • the whole hog and finish her job of gobbling up Manchuria. Fear Back Seat Japan has no intention of ever permitting China to unite in one great, modern nation of upward of 450,000,000 people. She can’t afford to. With only 70,000,000 population, her little island quite obviously would be relegated to second place in the far east. On the other hand, being an • Island empire already so packed ' with people that they are crowding one another into the sea, Japan feels she must expand. Even with Korea, which she annexed from China twenty years ago, she insists she must have more land upon which to raise vital foodstuffs and provide the raw materials needed by her industries. Manchuria, large as Texas and California combined, rich and adjoining Korea, offers the one possible chance for this expansion. So, regardless of how the present rumpus ends, when the smoke of battle finally clears the flag of Nippon will still be there, treaties or no treaties. MISSION PROPOSAL UP i Structure for Tuberculosis Care to Be Decided Upon. Decision on the proposal of the Flower Mission for erection of a structure at the city hospital for care of advanced tuberculosis patients will be made Friday night when the health board members meet at the institution for dinner. Last year, the proposal was sidetracked for lack of funds and the appropriation is not carried in the 1932 budget. Bluffton Banks Merged By Time* Special BLUFFTON, Ind., Sept. 21.

Manchuria Is Rich Prize for Invading Japanese Manchuria, where Japanese and Chinese are battling, has 370,000 square miles. Its population is 30,000,000. It is larger than the state of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, Indiana and Tennessee together. In climate and topography it is like lowa, the Dakotas and Montana. It is a bountiful grain country. It is rich in minerals. Japan owns the South Manchurian railway, from Dairen (Port Arthur) to Changchun, where it hooks up with the Chinese Eastern, owned jointly by China and Russia. Japan owns several branch lines and constantly is pushing out new “feelers,” along which she accumulates “concessions” and acquires military control. Before she annexed Korea, twenty years ago, Japan said Korea was a “pistol pointed at her heart.” Today Manchuria, bordering on Korea to the west, is described as “vital to Japan’s existence” as an empire. Japan can not produce enough foodstuffs and raw materials at home to keep her supplied. To supply this need she must have Manchuria.

ENGLAND SUSPENDS PAYMENTS IN GOLD

Drastic Action Is Taken to Halt Heavy Drain on Bank’s Reserves. (Continued from Page 1) payments within the British empire on the gold parity fixed in 1925, when the gold standard was resumed after a suspension during the World war. Government obligations in foreign countries contracted on a gold basis will be met at the gold rate when they fall due. According to a leading American banker, the effects of the move will be more marked in England than anywhere else, ‘‘with the certain degree of inflation that is likely to ensue,*’ he said, “even though limited in extent, the tendency of prices will be to rise. “This may result in a temporary increase of business activity there, although wages probably will be held down.” The present crisis came about through heavy withdrawals of foreign credits from the Bank of England. The official statement issued by the British government suspending the gold standard stated these withdrawals amounted to around $1,000,000,000. “Runs” on the Bank of England began last July 25, when gold to the amount of $145,500,000 was withdrawn from the bank in a few days. The gold reserves were depleted to the legal minimum. Gold withdrawals continued, most of the metal going to the Bank of

CITY MAY GET . NEW AIR LINE Century Firm’s Objections to Contract 'Minor.' Century Airlines, connecting larger cities of the midwest with hourly passenger airplane service, maye begin operation through municipal airport in the near future, it was believed today. By telegraph, representatives of the company notified the works board that a contract submitted by that body last week would be acceptable with three changes. Although these were not described, it was understood they were on minor matters. Century Airlines balked at the gas tax rate charged Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., and American Airways, the two passenger lines operating regular schedules at the airport now. Century representatives contended that the yowuld use more gasoline, and could not afford a 2 cents a gallon tax, but would pay it on the same number of planes as those operated by the other lines, with a reduced rate for additional planes a day. The contract was submitted and is said to have included an optional tax of .0007 a pound pay load, if no gas were bought, and it was thought this was one clause objectionable to the air line firm.

France, which was building up hugh gold reserves. Finally, the Bank of France joined with the# New York federal reserve banks in extending a credit of $250,000,000 to stabilize the pound sterling. On Aug. 24, the Labor government gave way to a coalition headed by J. Ramsay MacDonald. A short time later another credit from Paris and New York was arranged. This one amounted to $400,000,000. Most of the $200,000,000 advanced by America had been used up in an effort to “peg” the pound, it was reported. Inasmuch as France had taken part in the credit to maintain the pound, that country discontinued its policy of gold withdrawals. However, smaller countries, notably Holland, Sweden and Argentina, continued to take gold on such a scale that the withdrawals sapped the strength of the Bank of England and it finally was compelled to suspend temporarily the gold basis. To bolster its reserves, the Bank of England raised its discount rate from 44 to 6 per cent, effective today. To prevent heavy selling of stocks the London stock exchange remained closed today. Berlin followed the action of London and all other European markets closed with the exception of Paris. The New York Stock Exchange decided to remain open, but restrictions were placed on short selling, to prevent collapse of values. This action was taken because many professionals were thought to be planning to take advantage of the bad psychological condition engendered by the British suspension.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CLUBS MOTHER, AUNT IN FIT OF MANIACAL RAGE Max Adler Surprises Two Women in Bed, Beats Them With Wrench. Angered over rebukes administered bf*his aunt, Max Adler, 29, of 21 Whittier place, early today attacked and beat her and his mother w r ith a wrench, after surprising them In their bedrooms. His mother, Mrs. Rachel Adler, 54, is in critical condition in the city hospital suffering from skull fracture. The aunt, Mrs. Anna Spolsky, 67, was severely beaten and cut. Adler is held by police on charges of assault and battery with intent to kill. Quarrels for Weeks The attack on the women came after a day of beer drinking and weeks of altercation with Mrs. Spolsky, Adler told detectives early this morning. The man is said to have admitted plotting the death of his aunt for several hours Sunday night and “laughing and joking” with friends so they would not believe he would carry out his plan. Adler told of having difficulties with his aunt and that arguments with his mother were brought on by trouble with Mrs. Spolsky, whom, he said, “cast a spell over me.” According to detectives, Adler has not been working recently, and started drinking beer early Sunday. Sunday night he invited a man named Jake Zener, another , man |nd a woman to the house. Ordered From House During their “party” he told detectives, Mrs. Spolsky ordered his company to leave the house. Adler said he became angry and his companions took him for a ride. “My aunt told me she was not afraid of me,” he is quoted by the officers. “I began telling my friends what I intended to do to my aunt. I said I was going to choke or kill her or something. “During the ride, they' talked to me dnd said I ought to go home and go to bed. I joked with them to keep them from thinking I intended doing anything. First Sought Hammer ■“I went into the house determined to do it, though. After taking off my coat and hat, I went down to the pantry to find a hammer. I couldn’t find one, so I picked a monkey-wrench out of a box and went to my mother’s bedroom. “When she saw me, she said: ’Max, you’d better go to bed.’ “I walked over to the bed and hit her on the head. My aunt came up and I hit her and my mother several times. I don’t remember how many, but it was more than once. “They both began fighting me and I felt conscience-stricken. I quit beating them. I knew what I had done. I tried to wipe the blood off their faces, but they ran downstairs and called neighbors. Then the police came.” Adler said, according to detectives, that “I ought to be in a hospital.”

Voices Peace Demand “Since the World war there has been an increasing spirit of somewhat narrow nationalism in the world, built around this famished desire for security,” Baker said. “The most difficult problem which statesmanship faces in the modern world is to bring about some” form of disarmament, some modification of this tremendous burden laid upon the backs of men constantly to build and enlarge the armaments for war. “Before there can be that sort of diarmament, before nations will be willing to beat their swords into pruning hooks, it will be necessary that there be a spiritual diarmament. Somebody in the world, some nation in the world, must be big enough and brave enough to say to the rest of the world: “ ‘We not only demand peace, but we intend to have it.’ ” Cermak Gets Salute Anton J. Cermak, mayor of Chicago, was given a wild ovation when Commander O’Neil introduced him. As Cermak stepped to the front five shots rang out in ma-chine-like order. The crowd, catching the significance of the salute, roared with laughter, in which the mayor joined. He then made a stirring plea for the 1933 convention, pointing out it would be a fitting adjunct to the century of progress celebration at Chicago that year. Thousands of men and women fought for entrance to the hall as the first session was called to order. For hours before Mr. Hoover was to arrive throngs milled about the great arena and on the streets through which he passed on his ride from the railroad station. The downtown section again was jammed with thousands of Legionnaires and spectators. Autos Are Barred Police barred automobiles from the Loop district. Legionnaires held tickets to all but 5,000 seats in Olmpia hall. Those in the gallery 'were thrown open to the public and were filled quickly. The unusually warm weather made the temperature in the big hall almost oppressive. Many delegates peeled off their coats and listened to Commander O’Neil’s onening remarks in their shirt sleeves. Early arrivals were entertained by the Electric Post band from Milwaukee, last year’s champions, and the drum corps from Miami, Fla., which won that event at the Boston convention a year ago.

HOOVER POINTS OUT LEGION’S ‘PATH OF SERVICE TO U. S.’

By United Press DETROIT, Sept. 21.—President Herbert Hoover’s address to the American Legion convention follow’s: "It is a pleasure to accept the invitation of your commander to attend your convention. I am led to do so at a time of most pressing public duties because I wish to lay frankly before you important facts which I am sure you will wish to have, and I wish to point to an opportunity of service which you can give not alone to your members, but to the country at large. “I need not recount that the world is passing through a great depression, fraught with grueling daily emergencies alike to men and to governments. “This depression today flows largely from Europe through the fundamental dislocations of economic and political forces caused by the great war, in which your service brought bloodshed to and end and gave hope of reconstruction to the world. *

Legion Wields Influence

“Our economic strength is such that we would have recovered long since but for these forces from abroad. Recovery of the world now rests and awaits in no small degree upon our country, the United States of America. “Some individuals may have lost their nerve and faith, but the real American people are digging themselves out with industry and courage. We have the self-contain-ment, the resources, the manhood, the intelligence and by united action we will lead the worid in recovery. “The American Legion, born of world emergency, wields a great influence throughout our country because it speaks for a generation which has proved its citizenship by offering its all to its country. “You of the legion have a peculiarly sacred stake in the future of the country which you fought to preserve. You have proved your devotion in camp and battle. You have built up your organization to serve in peace as well as in war. “You are aware that during the last year our national expenditures have exceeded our income. Today the national government is faced with another large deficit in its budget. There is a decrease in the annual yield of income taxes alone from $2,400,000,000 in the years of prosperity to only $1,200,000,000 today.

Hits at Tax on Rich

“Simultaneously, we are carrying a high and necessary extra burden of public works in aid to the unemployed, of aids to agriculture, and of increased benefits and services to veterans. “In these circumstances, I am directing the most drastic economy in every npn-vital branch of government. Yet the essential services must be maintained. Those obviously include continued provision for our disabled veterans and the continuation of our present programs of work for the unemployed. “Mislead by those who say that we need only to tax the rich to obtain the funds we need, we must face the absolute fact that the rich can be taxed to the point of diminishing returns, and still the deficit in our ordinary and necessary expenditures would not be covered even upon a basis of the utmost economy. “Make no mistake; in these circumstances it is those who work in the fields, at the bench, and desk, who would be forced to carry an added burden for evehry added cent to our expenditures. “Whatever the deficit may be and in whatever manner it may ultimately be met, every additional expenditure placed upon our government in this emergency magnifies itself out of all proportion into intolerable pressures, whether it is by taxation or by loans.

“Either loans or taxes, beyond the very minimum necessities of government, will drain the resources of industry and commerce and. in turn, will increase unemployment. “Such action easily can defeat our hopes, our plans and our best efforts for the recovery of our country and so indefinitely delay the return of prosperity and employment. We can carry our present expenditures without jeopardy to national stability. We can carry no more without grave risks.

Accepts Aid Offer

“The imperative moment has come when increase in government expenditures must be avoided, whether it be ill-considered, hasty or uninformed legislation of any kind, or whether it be for new services, meritorious in themselves.” “Any alternative will strike dowi\ the earnest efforts of the citizenry of our nation to start us back upon the economic paths to which we must return if w T e and our children are to have the destiny which every one has the right to hope and the heart to give to them. “During the last week, your national commander and the members of the legion’s employment committee came to me and offered to the nation the combined strength of your million men and your ten thousand posts to help in relief over the winter* “I here accept that effer, with the thanks of the nation, in the fine spirit in which it was submitted. But there is today an even greater service to our country. “That is the determined opposition by you to additional demands upon the nation until we have won this war against world depression. I am not speaking alone of veterans’ legislation, which has been urged for action at this convention, but I am speaking equally of demands for every other project proposed in the country, which would require increased federal expenditure.

Points Out Proper ‘Path’

“It is an attitude and an action forward in the whole field of government expenditures that is before us. The first stone in the foundation of stability and recovery, both at home and in the world, is the stability of the government of the United States. “It is my purpose to maintain that stability, and I invite you to enlist in that fight. I invite you to study the relation of other governmental finance to the daily welfare and security of every man, woman and child. “In the history of Europe during the last six months alone, it is for us to observe these lessons and to be helpful, but our first duty is to the people of the United States. “Nothing would give greater glow of confidence to our country today than your enlistment and the vigorous support you can bring to this effort to prevent additional burden on the government from any quarter whatsoever. “You would not have the President of the United States plead with any citizen or any group of citizens for any course of action. I make no plea to you. “But you would have your President point out the path of service in this nation. That I am doing now. My mind goes back to the ddys of the war where you and I served in our appointed tasks. “At the end of those years of heart sickness over the misery of it all, when peace came, you and I knew’ that the wounds of the world were unhealed and that there would be further emergencies still before our country and the world when self-denial and courageous service must be given. “Your organization was born at that time and dedicated to that service by the very preamble to its constitution.

RUSH POWERS TO PRISON TO BALKJYNCHING Bluebeard Hustled Off to Pen as Angry Mob Storms Jail. By United Press CLARKSBURG. W. Va., Sept. 21. —Harry F. Powers, matrimonial agent who has conlessed to five murders, cowered in a death cell in West Virginia state penitentiary at Moundsville today, in fear for his life after a week-end in which thousands of citizens mobbed the Harrison county jail in an attempt to Lynch him. Penitentiary officials feared convicts would kill Powers if he were allowed to mingle with them. Clad in the uniform of a policeman for his own protection, Powers was removed to Moundsville in’ a car guarded by officers equipped with a submachine gun and riot guns. Many Start for Prison When reports spread that Powers had been removed, scores of those who had been in the mob that surrounded the jail, climbed into cars and started for Moundsville. Carl B. Southern, local detective, who accompanied the killer on his trip, said Powers whimpered and cried all the way to Moundsville, often crying out “God save me!” His nerve first broke when he heard the cries of the mob outside the jail here early Sunday morning. Their yells of “Let’s get Powers! Let’s lynch him!” came to him through the cell windows and perspiration broke out on his face. He paced his cell nervously. Prisoners in Mutiny At the height of the mob attack, when deputies kept the crowd back only ,vith free use of tear gas bombs, the defenders of the jail found themselves faced with an internal mutiny. Prisoners threatened to break open the jail doors and allow the crowd to get Powers. They were herded back to their 1 cells by officers. The prisoners’ hostility, it was said, was directed toward the killer chiefly Decause he was accused of cheating them at poker his first day at the jail. A constant stream of automobiles passed Powers’ home Sunday and occupants booed and hissed. SCHOOL ROLL GROWING Increase of 350 Pupils Reported in City in Year. Increase of 350 pupils in city schools was announced today with a check of enrolment figures. Total attendance in high and grade school is 55,900, as compared to 55,550 in 1930. William A. Evans, publicity director, said the boost entirely was in high schools. Grade school enrollment is two below last year with a figure of 42,237. The elementary school lists are expected to swell in the next two weeks by late attenders. Hoosier Admits Robberies By United Press DETROIT, Sept. 21.
