SOVIET THINKS WAR CRISIS IS DUE FOR 1935 Far East Troubles Nearing Critical Stage. Russidan Officials Believe. By T nitrl Press MOSCOW, Jan 16.—The Soviet government believes that war threats in the Far East will reach a crisis next year, it was learned today from a high source The most critical phase of the far eastern situation, it was made known, is expected when the world naval conference is scheduled to meet in 1935. There recently have been many rumors concerning Russia and Japan circulated in foreign capitals, but it was said authoritatively that for the present the soviet government does not foresee war with Japan. As for the 1935 crisis, it was forecast that the naval conference might not be held at all, because of the obvious prospect of its failure. Japan openly is aiming to increase its relative naval strength as compared to the United States and Great Britain Russia will take part in the conference if it is held, it was said. Russia looks forward to a Japanese effort to dominate all eastern Asia, including the Pacific provinces of Russia, it was said authoritatively. But this would be after Japan had strengthened its position in Manchoukuo and improved its military and naval forces. The Russian government understands at present that the Russian employes of the Chinese Eastern railway now held in Manchoukuo will be released soon, permitting resumption of negotiations for sale of Russia’s share in the road to Japan, which owns the other half now. Release of the employes and sale of the railway would solve the mast important specific question pending between Russia and Japan, but the government remained somewhat pessimistic as to the ultimate aims.

Expense Book Revealed Real Foster to Author

t Bills Paid as Royalties Came In, Biographer Recalls. BY HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer John Tasker Howard feels that he gained his best knowledge of Stephen Collins Foster from the account bock which Foster kept, and which is in the collection of data at Foster hall. “I didn’t know whether every one would be interested in that side of the composer or not.” he said this morning. “Because there was a possibility that they might not be, I put all of that material together in a chapter dealing with finances. The reader may skip it if he wishes. But to me it showed me Stephen Foster as a real persojn. and I became saturated with his personality in following the notes he made of his expenditures.” Mr Howard has shown Mr. Foster to be a very human person; one who. like the average man, made large payments on his various obligations after each payment from his publishings. Mr. Howard characterizes Foster’s songs not as “folksongs,” but for the benefit of the purists, as “people’s songs.” explaining that in his opinion they are the most typically American music that has been produced in this country. f This afternoon Mr. Howard was to lecture in the Ayres auditorium

-§p| '

John Tasker Howard on the life of Foster, and also was to give short introductory explanai tions of a number of Foster’s com- | positions, which were to be sung by | the Foster quartet. Among the se- ; lections which were to be given were I “Oid Folks at Home.” “Oh. Susanna.” “Camp Town Races.” and some of the nonesense songs, including i “Nelly Blye” and “Old Dog Tray."
