PEIPING, China, June 27.—Inner Mongolia formally proclaimed its independence of China today and 2,500,000 descendants of Ghenghis Khan, who once conquered half the known world, placed themselves
The "Teh Wang (Prince Teh), hereditary ruler of the Sunnet Tribes, established the seat of the independent Inner Mongolian government at Chia Pu Ssu on the bor-
ces. . Prince*"Teh proclaimed himself commander-in-chief of the Inner
Formation of the independent Inner Mongolian military government was admitted officially by Peiping Chinese officials. It represents the final evolution of Inner « Mongolia from an integral. part of China to an independent state sponsored by the Japanese.
* Negotiated With Both
Since: 1930 Prince Teh and other Inher Mongolian chieftains have been content with an autonomous government, located at PailingMiao, which negotiated with both the Chinese and the Japahese for arms and recognition. The Japans ese won, observers believed, because of their ability to promise Prirce Teh protection against Outer Mongolia, a Sovietized state under the tutelage of Moscow. The rise of Japanese influence in Inner Mongolia extends the sway of Nippon on mainland Asia far beyond the borders of Manchukuo and “deep into Central Asia, where the Russians have carved a sphere of influence in Chinese Turkestan. It gives the Japanese a base for pos- - gible operations against Red Outer | Mongolia and puts friendly forces along the entire fength of the Grest | Wall from the sea at Shanhaikuan to the distant: marshes where it ends 1500 miles inland. The Soviet Union's deep interest in the maintenance of Outer Mon- ” golia; independence was emphathis year when Roy W. HowSat president and editor of The
chairman of the executive committee of Scripps-Howard newspapers, interviewed Dictator Josef Stalin at the Kremlin in Moscow. Stalin told Howard that the Soviets were prepared to fight Japan if Japanese troops invaded Outer Mongolian territory. His declaration to Howard was read as a formal proclamation to the Red Mongols at a monster mass meeting staged at Urga, capital of Outer Mongolia, where a powerful military machine, including mechanized units and an .air force, has been created under ‘Russian direction. : Built Efficient Army
In return for Japanese aid against raids from Outer Mongolia, Prince Teh was believed to have promised to stop Chinese emigration to the plains of Mongolia. The Japanese have recognized the desire of. the Mongols to remain pastoral and nomadic and to prevent Chinese agricuiturists from settling on their vast
During the five years of inner autonomy Prince Teh built a small but efficient army with Japanese advice and equipment. It possesses the only machine guns and automatic rifles in Inner Mongolia. The troops are mounted on hardy, shaggy Mongol ponies. The Japanese action in maintaining Kang Teh as Emperor of Manchukuo was believed to have appealed strongly to the Mongols, who are monarchists by tradition and whose modern resistance to Chinese suzerainty began with the overthrow of the Manchu empire and the establishment of the republic. Japanese agents responsible for encouraging inner Mongolia’s proclamation of independence considered that in arming the Teh Wang they

GAIN IS SHOWN IN EMPLOYMENT
88,000 Return to Work, Labor Report for May Discloses.
_ Further gainy in employment and pay rolls for the month of May were shown for manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries in the monthly United States Labor Bureau survey, released today. “On the basis of reports received from: more that 35,000 establishments, it is estimated that more than 88,000 were returned to employment during the month interval in these industries A and that total weekly: pay rolls were approximately $6,700,000 greater,” the report stated. “A comparison of employment: and pay rolls in May, 1936, with May, 1935, shows increases of more than 650,000 in number of workers .employed and nearly $36,000,000 in earnings disbursed weekly to work-: ers in these industries.” “While the may increase in aggregate employment was not as pronounced as March and April gains, there were significant gains in the several fields of: employment surveyed.” The report further stated that factory employment, contrary to the seasonal movement, rose in May, continuing the . upswing reported each month since January. The gain of .6 per cenf in factory employment indicates the return of more than 43,000 workers to jobs and raises the employment index (85.6) to the highest level since MActober, 1830.
