CHINA MUST BE CRUSHED. JAPAN MAKES UP MIND Nippon Will Cripple Foe for Good, Set Up New Empire, Is Belief. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS Kcripps-Howard Foreign Editor . WASHINGTON. Jan. 4 Far eastern advices received here indicate that only a near miracle can prevent an early war in Asia on a scale comparable with, if not surpassing, the Russo-Japanese conflict in 190). Having made virtually certain that neither the League of Nations, the Kellogg pact nor the ninepower treaty powers will do anything beyond protesting, Japan is pictured as determined to settle things with China. Japan is raid to aim at nothing less than the creation of anew empire ’n North China, including Peiping, 0 ientsin, Jehol, Manchuria inner Mongolia and perhaps even the maritime province of Siberia, belonging to Russia, with the puppet “boy emperor" Henry' Pu Yi on the throne. Japan Must Go Ahead From unquestioned sources on the scene, the writer has learned that Japan faces the alternative of getting out of Manchuria, else smashing China so completely that she will stay smashed. At Peiping are the foreign legations, protected by armed guards behind crenellated walls. At Tientsin, the Shanghai of the north, are rich foreign concessions. An offensive in this area would be juggling with dynamite. Nevertheless, the writer is informed, the Japanese general stats faces that very necessity. It is either that or give up the fruits of the last sixteen months of conquest. Admittedly that is unthinkable, so far as the Japanese are concerned, for retreat now would entail loss of face at home and abroad. Their bridges burned behind them, they must push on. U. S. to Stay Put Failure to “mop up" China, the Japanese learn, means perpetual guerilla warfare costly in human lives and financially ruinous. Nippon's budgeet now is the biggest in her history. Her taxes are at a maximum. She is off gold. The yen Is falling. Military expenses are mounting and bankruptcy is ahead unless something is done to head It off. She must administer to China decisive defeat, either militarily or politically, else prepare for ultimate defeat herself. Washington, therefore, is again on the anxious seat. Its policy, however, remains unchanged. It has refused, and will continue to refuse, to recognize Japan's conquests, but unless and until the other great powers can agree on some sane plan of co-operation to save the peace of Asia, Uncle Sam has no intention to crawl any farther out on the limb than he is at present. The League of Nations, controlled largely by Britain and France, appears paralyzed. Fiance and Britain appear strangely sympathetic with Japan, and the United States patiently has no thought of policing the far east alone. Apparently grim Nippon is in the saddle with a clear field ahead. RADIO OFFICERS NAMED Arthur L. Braun to Be Installed as President of Club. Arthur L. Braun will be installed as president of the Indianapolis Radio Club in the Century building Friday night. Other officers to be installed are Charles W. Soltau, vice-president; Robert K.
