CHINA RAILROAD MAY RIP APART MAP OF ASIA New 2.000-Mile Line ‘Break’ for Soviet, So Japan Doesn't Like It. BV WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ficrippi llonard Foreign Fdltor WASHINGTON. Sept. 14 —Plans lor anew 2.000-mile railway, which may change the map of Asia, have been announced by the Chinese government. Strategically, for both China and Russia, the new line with motor highway feeders, would surpass in present importance the Trans-Si-berian and Chinese Eastern railways.. The Chinese section would open up smkiang. or Chinese Turkestan, in northwest China and make it possible to bring the products of that region down to the Pacific. By building short connecting links between Russian Turkestan and the projected railway, the Soviet Union would have anew outlet to the Pacific from which Japan has virtually barred it. With the Japanese in control ot all Manchuria, the Chinese and Russian-owned Eastern railway to Vladivostok has become usless to the Russians. Could Be Cut Earily And as the alternative TransSiberian line for hundreds of miles runs along the Manchurian border, it could be cut in a dozen places overnight if the Japanese cared to do so—as they would in case of conflict. Vladivostok, therefore, now definitely is lost to Russia as a real outlet to the Pacific. As matters stand, Siberia has been bottled up by the Japanese. Anew way out has become imperative and the new Chinese route would provide that way. Russian-Turkestan and ChineseTurkestan iSinkiangi meet in central Asia. Already two Russian railways go almost to the border. One, a direct line from Moscow, ends at Verni, Russian-Turkestan. The other begins at Krasnovodsk, on the Caspian sea, and passes through Bokhara and Samarkand to the Chinese frontier. Both these lines easily could con- | nect with the projected Chines? railway and provide an exit not only for European Russia, but for Siberia and the whole of central! Asia. The new line has not yet be°n fully surveyed. Experts have gone ; over the proposed route but survey- i ors will begin to peg it next month. Sven Hedin. noted Swedish explorer, will be in charge. Near Soviet Border Roughly, the highways and railroad will begin at or near the Soviet border, run along the Tarim river, along which gigantic irrigation projects are planned, thence eastward to connect with existing communications south of the Yellow j river. To have the outlet north of the Yellow river would not be safe, I either for Russia or China. The j Japanese general staff has plans for I strategic control of all China east and north of the elbow of that tur- | gid stream. The cost of the project is estimated at $50,000,000 gold. Where or how the money is to be raised j has not been made public. Chinese Finance Minister T. V. Soong just has completed a journey to America and Europe, where it is reported he established financial connections. Russia, however, might be induced to furnish much, if not all, of the needed capital. The scheme is quite as important to her, econom- ; ically and for purposes of national ( defense, as it is to China. Without some such line, she can be cut off from the Pacific whenever it suits the fancy of Japan. Japanese Hostile Japan is hostile to the plan. It would lessen the strategic import- I ance of her conquest of Manchuria. It would strengthen China and help Russia out of a perilous pocket. Said Rengo. official Japanese news agency, in a recent bulletin: ‘The Chinese government is working clandestinely in America and Europe to obtain loans and arms. Since the supply of funds or weapons to China will do no good j but help aggravate internal dissension and anti-Japanese activities in the country. Japan must oppose such assistance from the powers. Should they persist.” the bulletin concluded threateningly, ‘ the Jap- j anese government would be compelled to take suitable measures to prevent it.” SIX MORE ARRESTED IN FT.

NATIONAL FARM STRIKE THREAT i HURLED AT U.S. Adoption of Code Is Only Preventive, lowa Leader Warns. BV HARTZELL SPENCE United Press Staff Correspondent iCopvright. 1933. bv United Pressi DES MOINES. Ia„ Sept, 14.—A new national farm strike is ‘‘unavoidable" unless NRA provisions are extoideed to agriculture, Milo Reno, influential farm leader, told the United Press today. An NRA code is being drafted by the Farmers Holiday Association, of which Reno is president. It will be submitted to directors from twentyfour midwest states at a meeting here Sept. 22 and to the recovery administration shortly thereafter. ‘‘lf it is not adopted," Reno said, j "there Is no possibility of post- | poning longer the strike scheduled i for last spring which was delayed to ! give the administration a chance to make good its promises.” Allotment Plan Destructive Asserting that for more than a j month he had resisted pressure from many states for a strike, Reno i characterized the farm allotment | programs as “destructive and pitiful efforts which can not give lasting relief.” The NRA, he said, “must be extended to agriculture at once or 500,000 American farmers will go on strike, holding their produce from markets.” Provisions of the proposed farm- ! ers’ code of fair competition, Reno ! said, w T ill follow the cost of producj tion demands made by the holiday association two years ago. The praci tical application will in some respects follow the lumber code already formulated. Asks Wallace to Resign Reno, who twice within the last week has called for the resignation of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace in public addresses, said the slaughter of piggy sows and pigs was not economically sound and ultimately would result in “chaos.” j “The only salvation of agriculj ture,” he declared, “and the only attempted solution which we can j tolerate any longer, is absolute ! equality under the NRA with all other branches of industry. A half million farmers realize that, and are j demanding it.” Reno suggested that it might be difficult to prevent disorders should a farm strike be called. “Every one knows,” he said, “what may happen when serious men with ! their backs to the wall start fighting for their very homes. Some j trouble is inevitable.” BEWHISKERED BANDIT ROBS GAS STATION Gets S4O and Flees in Car of Arriving Patron.

CHINA CONCEDES LOSS OF AREA TO JAPANESE I Large Territory Is Taken Over to Form New ‘Buffer State.’ BY H. R. ELKINS United Press Staff Correspondent PEIPING, China, Sept. 14.—The i Chinese are willing to admit today | that Japan has established a “bus- : fer state” in North China itself. | below the Great Wall, between Pieping and its puppet nation of Manchukuo. Despite protests to the League of Nations at Japan's encroachment !on to the continent of Asia, the ! Chinese have been forced to recog- ; nize that the Tokio government’s ! seizures of Chinese territory include | a slice of China proper about the size of the state of New Jersey. The Chinese Kuomintang flag i flies over north China, but it is i admitted the Chinese officials are | controlled by the Japanese in that ! area above Tientsin and Peiping just as they are in Manchukuo. This development is the latest move in Japan’s bold seizure of Manchuria, Jehol province, and this sphere of influence below the wall, which began with the Manchurian campaign just two years ago this month. The Chinese government at Nanking and its branches in Peiping | and Tientsin still refuse officially to j admit that this area below the wall j is practically a Japanese state. Realistically minded Chinese ed-' itors, however, frankly refer to the region as a “buffer area,” in this prosperous countryside, magistrates and other officials appointed by the provincial government with the ap- j I proval of Nanking hold sway—but: j they do so under the virtual direcj tion and with the consent of the J Japanese Kwantung army, in south- 1 ern Manchuria.
