LEAGUE FACES LIFE OR DEATH IN JAPAN CRISIS Lytton Report on Far East Situation Will Call for Showdown. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Krripp* Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.—The firepower Lytton report denying Japan the fruits of her conquest in Manchuria will come before the League of Nations on Nov. 14 for its most momentous decision. The problem of world peace is nearing a showdown. The League of Nations, the Kellogg pact, the nine-power treaty, the four-power pact of the Pacific—in fact, the whole laboriously created post-war peace machinery—have reached the crossroads. At the crossroads, too, Ls American foreign policy—the nature and extent of America’s future co-oper-ation in the direction of international peace and disarmament. That the hour probably is the gravest since the armistice is admitted at Washington and in the capitals of Europe. The league’s decision will determine which way the world will go for decades to come. It will decide whether the peace machinery will survive, or whether the world will revert to conditions worse than they were prior to 1914, with every nation an armed camp.

fase Against Japan Specifically, the case against Nippon is this: Thirteen years ago Japan, along with the powers, signed the covenant of the League of Nations, solemnly pledging herself not to resort to armed aggression against her neighbors. Ten years ago Japan signed the nine-power treaty, solemnly pledging herself not to interfere with China's territorial or administrative integrity, and not to take advantage of China's weakness. Four years ago Japan signed the Kellogg pact, outlawing aggression, solemnly pledging herself to refrain from afar as an instrument of national policy. Within the last thirteen months, however, the Lytton report indicates, Japan has violated every one of these pledges. She has driven China out of Manchuria at the point of the bayonet. She has set up anew “state” which she has named "Manchukuo,” openly and officially put it under her armed protection, and defied the rest of the world to say her nay. Showdown Faces League Now comes the Lytton report. The commission, appointed by the league, investigated in Japan, China and Manchuria, and tells us what it found. After more than a year of hedging, the league must now do something. Tt must dispose of the report—by far and away the gravest act of its entire existence. Japan is the first ' major power thus to challenge the peace machinery. If she is let off with a whitewashing, the whole thing admittedly collapses—becomes a pile of junk. Three nations, largely, will decide the fate of the peace pacts. Those nations are the United States, FTance and Great Britain. Three courses are open to the league: First, it can sidetrack the Lytton report. whitewash Japan, and camouflage her Manchurian protectorate. Second, with the United States, it could bring additional moral pressure to bear on Japan, to make her disgorge the fruits of conquest along the lines laid down by the report. Third, it could set up a boycott, with United States concurrence, and cut Japan off from the rest of the world, diplomatically, economically, and financially, until Japan chose to make good her pledges. If the league, under British and French domination, chooses to follow the first of the .three courses, its most ardent friends fear, it will doom the peace machinery in its entirety. If the second or third course is followed, a solid front of all the great powers becomes imperative. For should any one of the nations, or even any likely combination of them, dare to challenge Japan alone, it would spell almost certain war. Next—the United States in Peril.

Lifelong Error U. S. Resident From Infancy, City Man Finds He's Not a Citizen.

DOING a good deed for a friend today had painful results for and Indianapolis couple. While appearing as witnesses for the friend at a naturalization examination, the husband and wife learned that they, too, were aliens, although the wife had been born in this country. When the husband, who was born in Germany and was brought to this country as an infant, testified before W. A. Kiefer, district director of naturalization, he was asked for his naturalization papers. “Why, this is nothing more than a lawyer’s statement saying he believed you were eligible to vote,” Kiefer remarked. Questioning elicited the fact that the man's father 'had taken out first papers, but never had completed the process of becoming an American citizen, which would have conferred citizenship on his minor children. “I have been voting all these years and I thought I was an American citizen,” said the crestfallen witness. “Guess I will need a couple of good witnesses for myself.’” Kiefer pointed out that the wife lost her citizenship when, in 1912, she married an alien. Under a new law% all women marrying aliens after 1922 retain their citizenship.

PROBING TYPHUS FEVER, U. S. DOCTOR IS VICTIM Catches Dread Disease While Making Tests With Vaccine. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Racked by typhus fever, Dr. R. E. Dyer, 46, of the United States public health service is lying ill at the United States naval hospital here, a victim of the disease, which he has been investigating for the last two and one-half years. Dr. Dyer, working in the laboratories of the National Institute of Health, discovered that the American variety of typhus fever, from which he now suffers, is carried by fleas, and not by the body louse which transmits the European variety. He lately has been working on a vaccine to give protection against the disease. The vaccine has been successful in protecting guinea pigs, but has not yet reached the stage of human application, so unfortunately, Dr. Dyer himself did not have any benefit from it.

Dry Reading ‘Scotch’ Is Removed from New Volumes at City Library.

THE liquor problem came to the fore today t hee public library, and vigilant librarians, ever ready and able to stand between the reading public and temptation, went into action wdth censoring scissors. Copies of “Wee Droppies,” anew book of anecdotes by Sir Harry Lauder, famed Scotch comedian, arrived. Upon opening the books, librarians found a bottle shaped hole had been cut through every page, allowing space for the storage of a small bottle marked “SCOTCH,” in capital letters. Luther L. Dickinson, head librarian, ordered the containers of liquid removed before the books go into circulation. “I feel sure that the first borrowers of the book would open the bottle to learn whether the contents are as advertised,” Dickinson said. “Although members of the library staff probably can not perform such an expert test as could many readers of library books, still the staff will do the job.” W A TSO N~LAU DS~H 00 V E R DES MOINES SPEECH Easily Outstanding Event of Campaign to Date, Says Senator. “President Hoover’s Des Moines address is easily the outstanding event of the campaign to date,” declared Senator James E.

I think that every man and woman who heard the address, either at Des Moines or over the radio, sensed the earnestness and sincerity that w r as in him. Certainly they could not escape the unerring logic of the entire discourse,” Watson said.
