The evident danger of the situa-’
tion was made greater by Premier: Benito Mussolini's firm insistence
that it is up to Great Britain and France, not to Italy, to make any
proposals calculated to persuade him
to co-operate in the submarine pa-
trol.
His own newspaper, Popolo d'Italia
of Milan, said today that Italy would make no new proposals and at the same time insist on absolute parity with other powers if she did join in the Nyon agreement.
China Prepares for Long, Costly War
NANKING, Sept. 17 (U. P).— China’s 400,000.000 inhabitants or-
ganized today for a long, costly war |
with Japan. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, dictator of the Central Government, apparently having unified the nation for the first time in recent history, started a ‘Liberty Loan” subscription campaign for $145,000,000, similar to that which the United States used 20 years ago to support her participation in-the World War. The nation was put on a wartime footing. Drastic decrees— ranging from death penalties for spies and traitors to soldier pension privileges—have been put into effect. These are revolutionary developments in a 20th Century China where popular spirit, a national war “chest and Government benefits to its troops heretofore have not been even imagined.
Chinese Halt New
Drive Near Peiping
PEIPING, Sept. 17 (U. P)— Japanese forces, attempting a major drive to the south from North China, were attacked on two sides near Peiping today by a reorganized Chinese army. Japanese military authorities here admitted their troops had encountered “unexpected stiff Chinese resistance” along a line 70 miles wide and in an area about 30 miles south of Peiping between the PeipingHankow and Peiping- -Tientsin Railways. The Japanese found themielves almost between two Chinese forces when another large group attacked them from the north and east in the vicinity of the Peiping-Tientsin railway near Huangtsun, 13 miles directly south of Peiping.
Chinese Volunteers
Free Missionaries
PEIPING, Sept. 17 (U. P.).— Three Catholic missionaries, held
captive by a Chinese volunteer
army of nearly 2000 men since Aug. 30, were released today. Along with three other Catholic missionaries they had been forced to dccompany the marauding band for nearly a month. The volunteers, who called themselves the “National Peoples Army,” constantly have engaged the Japanese in guerrilla warfare.

Attacks Nazi Demand
Senator Borah criticized statements from high German sources that Nazi emissaries in foreign lands must be protected in their activities in behalf of the Hitler regime. As long as they observe the law of this country, he said, they will be protected but if not they will be “tried” in independent courts and not in the puppet courts of their homeland” and, if convicted, punished. “The people of this country believe in constitutional government,” he said. \ “There seems to be something decidedly un;American in doubts and fears touching the inability of democracy to cope with the problems of modern life. If that is true, Washington and Jefferson were wrong and Mussolini and Hitler are right. . . . But the theory itself is false. We will have our differences. . We will make mistakes. . . . “But such is the nature, such the
“mail” planes which were readily convertible into Chinese bombers, were unloaded here to avert the first crisis arising from President Roosevelt’s ban on transporation of war shipments in Government boats.
Prince Saionji, Old Statesman, Stricken
TOKYO, Sept. 17 (U. P.) —Prince Kimmochi Saionji, 88, venerable “last of the elder statesmen,” suffered a sudden illness today aboard a train en route from Numazu to his winter home at Okitsu; and it was feared that his condition might become grave. He is the last survivor of the genro or elder statesmen whose duty it is to be available at all times to advise the Emperor in times of national stress. He was called in after the Extremist Army revolt of ‘1936 and at the start of the Chinese
crisis this year.

Regimentation Slapped By Vandenberg
DETROIT, Sept. 17 (U. P.).—The United States is “too big to be successfully regimented from a central bureaucracy and too American to be driven into goose step,” Senator Vandenberg (R. Mich) said today in a Constitution Day address. The senior Michigan Senator, reviewing the Constitution's 150 years of life, observed that it “has repulsed. every assault and every treachery whipped up in the inevitable storms and passions of recurrent strife.”
6-YEAR PRESIDENCY MOVE IS DISCLOSED
VanNuys Says Congressmen Formulating Action.
Senator VanNuys in an interview
today said “certain Congressmen are formulating a Constitutional amendment providing for a six-year Presidential term of office.” He predicted President Roosevelt will not seek a third term unless a national emergency such as a state of war turns public opinion in favor of it. The Senator declined to discuss further the six-year term proposal. Mr. VanNuys said President Roosevelt has lost popularity in the
South because of the Connally|
Wages-and-Hours Bill. He described High Commissioner of the Philippines Paul McNutt as in a “strong position for the 1940 Presidential nomination.” Regarding his own position, the Senator said: “I will be a candidate for re-elec-tion when the convention meets. There will be a split in the Democratic ranks by 1940, the realignment being along “liberal and radical, not conservative and ‘liberal lines. I will be with the liberal element.”
SEEK CLARIFICATION OF GAS TAX LAWS
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17 (U. P.)—H. P. Leatham, Uiah State Tax Commissioner, was elected president of the North American Tax Conference in the closing session of the annual convention last night. Resolutions seeking clarification of various gasoline tax laws were adopted for presentation to the various state legislatures. Tulsa, Okla., was selected for the 1938 convention.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 17 (U. P.).—Indiana’s coal miners today looked forward to Monday afternoon when a committee of members of the United Mine Workers’ International Executive Board will make an attempt to settle a wage controversy with the Indiana Coal Operators’ Association.

Lewis, International president of the miners, who urged the District 11 (Indiana) union members not to walk out until the com- | mittee he named consults the coal operators.
PEACE MOVE FAILS IN SCHOOL STRIKE
HAMDEN, Conn., Sept. 17 (U. P.). —Balked from an immediate settlement in their strike for “shorter school hours,” hundreds of Hamden high school pupils refused again today to enter classrooms.

The report complained of vice drives which captured “small fry” and permitted “big ones” to slip through the net. The long record of the Methodist Church in the campaign for temperance was praised in the report and the Government Was condemned for “entering. liquor business and encouraging debauchery for the sake of revenue.” The committee report asked church members to patronize hotels and restaurants where liquor is not served and requested the next Legislature to permit local option and ban liquor from the Fair Grounds.
‘Repeal Called Blunder
of the afternoon session when Dr. D. Stewart Patterson of the Methodist Board of Temperance and Public Morals called prohibition repeal a major social blunder. “We are experiencing the greatest commercialized debauchery in the history of our country,” he said. Dr. Ralph E. Diffendorfer, Methodist Board of Foreign Missions corresponding secretary, was unable to attend the missionary session of the conference, at which he was to speak this morning. He was reported to be in conference with the State Department in Washington over the safety of American missionaries in China. A conference-wide financial campaign to aid the Roberts Park Church, pioneer Indianapolis church, was approved by the session. Speaking before an audience of 1600 last night, Dr. Forney Hutchinson, Tulsa, Okla. compared Methodism to an oil weil. Preparations are being made af the conference for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of John Wesley's conversion cn May 24, 1738. At that time, Dr. Hutchinson said. Methodism came in as a ‘“‘gusher.” Suggests ‘Go Deeper’ “But from a 6000-barrel-a-day ~gusher, shé has subsided to 800 barrels on a pump,” he said. “Methodism is still producing, but not as it used to be.

(Black’s) resignation,” said Senator Wheeler in a statement telegraphed to Washington from Fargo, N. D. Mr. Wheeler said he withheld his vote when the Senate confirmed Black’s nomination, because there had been no denial of a charge made in the Senate that Mr, Black was a Klansman. The Klan controversy spread among members of the House of Representatives, and Speaker Wil liam H. Bankhead declared at his Jasper, Ala., home: “I have never belonged [to the Ku-Klux Klan. I never was in« vited to join. That is that.” Speaker Bankhead’s statement was a reply to Rep. Fish (R. N.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette printed the fifth of a series of six articles, written by Ray Sprigle and copyrighted by the North American Newspaper Alliance, which alleged that Mr.’ Black accepted a “good passport,” of life membership, in the Klan at a Birmingham, Ala. Klan, klorero on Sept. 2, 1926. Meanwhile Justice Black remained in seclusion in England, where he is vacationing. Mr. Roosevelt had declared that the White House would make no comment until Mr. Black returned to the United States, There was no indication today that the President would change his position.
