JAPAN INVASION IS GRAVE ISSUE BEFORE LEAGUE China to Demand Invoking of Pact in Dispute Over Manchuria. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srriptta-Howard Forrltn Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Within the next two weeks three international conferences of tremendous importance to the United States and the world will meet in Switzerland. A week from today, at Geneva, the council of the League of Nations, in regular session, will find itself confronted by an indignant and invaded China asking nothing less than that Japan, in effect, be declared an outlaw state and cut off from ail intercourse with the rest of the world. On the same day, at Lausanne, within a few minutes’ ride from Geneva, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and other European powers will gather to hear Germany repeat that she can no longer meet her reparations payments and ask what the others will do about it. Lastly, two weeks from today, also at Geneva, upward of sixty nations will begin a world disarmament conference upon w.iich. leading statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic agree, the future of civilization itself may depend. Fate of U. S. Involved That the decisions reached at these three parleys will be fateful to the American people, no one here disputes. China’s demand for a showdown on Japan’s invasion of Manchuria will bring the League of Nations face to face with the gravest problem of its existence. Many of its most ardent supporters feel its very existence as an effective peace force depends upon how it meets this crisis. China, dispatches from Nanking declare, will invoke Article 16 of the, league convenant. That article declares: “Should any member of the league resort to war in disregard of its covenants. . . it shall ipso facto be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other members . . . which hereby undertake immediately to subject it to the severance of all trade and financial relations, the prohibition of all intercourse between their nationals and the nationals of the covenantbreaking state, and the prevention of all financial, commercial or personal intercourse between the nationals of the covenant-breaking state and the nationals of any other state, whether a member of the league or not.’’ Use of Arms Envisaged How the league can refuse, in the light of events in Manchuria, to stand by China is not foreseen here. And if it does stand by China, the United States, in tyrp, will find itself in a tight corner. It either will have to respect the league’s boycott of Japan and • oeace all financial, commercial or personal intercourse with that country; else run afoul of the entire membership, excepting, of course, Japah. The use of' armed force to carry out the provisions of Article 16 is clearly envisioned. The. second paragraph of the- article declares “It shall be the duty of the council in such case to recommend to the several governments concerned what effeotive military," naval or air force” they shall severally contribute toward enforcing the boycott. Debt Reduction Likely The reparations conference at Lausanne is generally regarded as the first step toward eventual reduction. if not outright cancellation not only of German reparations, but of the allied wav debts. The loss to the allies, over the fifty-eight-year period which reparations are scheduled to run, may reach a total of approximately $28,000,000,000. The loss to the United States, on war debts, over the same time, in case of cancellation, would be about $2^,000,000,000. America’s stake in the world arms conference scheduled to begin a fortnight hence, is world peace tax relief and a boost to prosperity. Failure of the conference. It is predicted, would plunge the world back into an armaments race and greater world Var dangers than existed prior to 1914.

Jurist Popular Nominee for Supreme Court. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Senate friends of Chief Judge Benjamin N. Cardozo of New York were more hopeful today that he would be chosen by President Hoover to succeed Justice Holmes of the United States supreme court, than they have been since his name first was suggested. In the eight days which have elapsed since Justice Holmes’ resignation, the President, in studying the indorsements in behalf of various lawyers and jurists, is understood to have discovered that Cardozo’s appointment would prove universally popular and will have no difficulty in obtaining senate confirmation. The President hesitated over Cardozo’s selection, despite his preeminence as a jurist, because New York already has two members on the court—Chief Justice Hughes and Associate Justice Stone. But leading lawyers and senators are urging him to disregard sectional, geographic and political consideration. GROTTO WOMEN INSTALL Mrs. Mabel Dobbins Becomes Auxiliary’s President.

POWER PLANTS' VALUE WILL BE AIRED IN COURT Township Assessors Plan Suit to Force Higher Assessment. Fight between Perry and Decatur townships over a boundary line was forgotten temporarly today, as both townships joined in the attack upon the state tax board’s assessment of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company’s new Harding street plant. Through their assessors, L. A. Hohlt, Perry, and Baster D. Park, Decatur, the townships will become parties to a suit against the tax board. They have decided upon court action in order to have the tax board’s $1,500,000 valuation of the plant set aside, and boosted to the $5,000,000 figure fixed by the county board of review. The boundary line argument developed several months ago when the two townships could not agree upon the exact location of the Harding street plant. Assessor Hohlt declared today, however, that Perry still will seek to assess the plant after a “fair valuation has been fixed.” Reduction of the assessment figure by the tax board aroused protests from Robert Sloan, Marion county assessor, who has been involved in a verbal Rattle with tax commissioners for several weeks. The suit against the tax board is being prepared by township attorneys, co-operating with Charles B. Clark, county attorney.

EAGER TO TELL ABOUT HER STOMACH

HflK -*3SBtt #ll

“I want to tell others about my experience with Pape’s Diapepsin,” says Mrs. B.Eastman, 1200 California St., Denver,. Colo. “I tried a lot of things for my indigestion, but none of them did any good. Then a friend persuaded me to

take a few tablets of this wonderful preparation. “Now I even eat cabbage without any distress afterwards. It used to cause real suffering. I am not nearly so nervous as I used to be; feel much stronger and better in every way.” A medicine must have real merit to bring forth enthusiastic statements like this. And when not one, but hundreds, even thousands, are telling the same story of success, there seems no reason to doubt the day-in and day-out reliability of Pape’s Diapepsin to help stomach sufferers. These harmless, candy*like tablets relieve the heartburn, nausea, gas, belching, headaches, dizziness and other symptoms of indigestion. —Advertisement.
