SAY NEW MILITARY ROAD TO'RUSSIA BEING BUILT: CLOSER RELATIONS ARE SEEN

Americans Arriving in Shanghai From Wuhu Report That Japanese Army Commander in Yangtse Has Been Removed.

(Continued from Page One)

Britain and the United States but thus far Russia is the only nation which has offered concrete aid. Also the Chinese Reds are offering complete co-operation to Chiang, in contrast to the attitude of some of the leaders of the Kuomintang Party who are urging that resistance against Japan be halted.

Britain Sends New

Protest to Japan

LONDON, Dec. 22 (U. P.) —Great Britain protested in a note to Japan today against an alleged violation of British territorial waters near Hongkong on Dec. 11. The note pertains to an incident in which a Chinese Customs revenue protection vessel was fired on inside Hongkong territorial waters by a Japanese destroyer from just outside the limits. Then two motor boats from the destroyers entered territorial waters and towed the customs vessel away, after it ‘had been beached. The British Government in the note asked assurances that express instructions have been issued to Japanese Naval forces which will insure: full respect for Hongkong territory. Stiffer Attitude Seen

As the British Cabinet met today to reconsider Great Britain's policy in the Far East, a stiffer attitude, particularly toward Japan, was expected to follow the strong

declarations in the House of Commons by Prime Minister Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Eden. Britain’s policy may be influenced considerably by the exchange of letters between President Roosevelt and rmer Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, in which Mr. Roosevelt indicated that the United States did not favor a policy of peace at any price. The letters created a profound impression in Government quarters here, as did the statement by Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State under President Hoover, warning against displaying a weakness of American national policy “at a time when stability and steadfastness are preeminently required.”

See No Isolation Policy |

These developments were regarded here as indicating strongly that the United States did not intend to follow a policy of isolation at any price. The belief that both the United States and British Governments take similar views concerning the Far Eastern crisis was strengthened by Premier Chamberlain’s statement to Commons yesterday that Japan must give assurances that her apologies for attacks on

Report Japanese Army Aid Removed

SHANGHAI, Dec. 22 (U. P.) —Col. Shingoro Hashimoto, commanding Japanese troops along the upper Yangtse, has been removed from his post as the result of troop attacks on U. S. and British warships, Americans arriving here asserted today. It was asserted that Col. Hashimoto, politically powerful firebrand of the extremist element in the Japanese Army, was relieved of his command last Saturday and replaced by a fellow colonel who “showed a much more co-operative spirit.” The Americans who arrived here from Wuhu did not know whether Col. Hashimoto had been recalled or transferred to another command. Foreign military experts suggested that he probably was given another command. His mere removal, they said, would be a sufficient indication of the concern of the Japanese Army at attacks on United States and British ships.

Col. Hashimoto was regarded by foreigners here as the man really

responsible for the machine-gun- [

ning of the American gunboat Panay, as it sank after it was abandoned, by Japanese troops in launches. Col. Hashimoto is alleged to have said, after attacks by his troops Dec. 13 on the British gunboat Ladybird and the Panay, that he had orders to fire on all ships in the Yangtse regardless of nationality. It was denied afterward that Col. Hashimoto had any such order.

Foreign Office Denies

Panay Machine Gunning

TOKYO, Dec. 22 (U. P.).—The Foreign Office in a preliminary report on the machine gunning of the United States gunboat by Japanese troops admitted today that troops boarded the ship but said that so far investigation had produced no evidence of machine gunning, Spokesmen predicted today that several days must elapse before the Government is ready to send a new note to the United States on the sinking of the American gunboat Panay by Japanese Navy planes and the machine gunning of the ship as it sank by Japanese troops in launches. It was explained that the Government had partly completed a reply to a first American note ‘when additional representations were received. This necessitated not only redrafting the note but examining new angles, it was said. These new angles concerned principally the machine gunning,

Asked for More Time

When the new representations were received, a spokesman said, the Government asked the United. States for additional time to reply and the United States consented. Police authorities, disclosing the arrest of 370 “proletarians” in a five day series of raids, asserted today that left wing leaders had received “instructions” through the American Communist Party to campaign for relief of. soldiers’ families: These alleged instructions presumably originated, in the police belief, at Moscow. They were but

»|& part of activities charged against

the men arrested. One accusation was that the left wing leaders spread “antiwar thought” intended to. change the structure of the State and lead to a mass movement for revolution with a view to establishment of communism. . Dissolution Is Ordered As the result ‘of the raids police

mp. ordered the dissolution of the Japa-,

nese Proletarian Party and ‘the Japanese Trade Union Council. It was understood also that orders were issued for heavy guards throughout the city Friday when Parliamen{ meets for a new session.

STRICT TRAFFIC

'WATGH ASKED :

Four Suffer Minor Injuries In Accidents; 43 Are Arrested.

State Safety Director Donald Stiver asked all Indiana law enforcement offices in a special radio broadcast today not to relax traffic enforcement because of the holidays. “The tendency has been in\the past,” he said, “for courts and police to relax and give erring motorists a break. But peace on earth, good will toward men is not accomplished by allowing careless and drunken motorists to bring tragedies into homes.” Four motorists were injured, none seriously, in three County traffic accidents early today. Police arrested 43 motorists on traffic: violation charges. Joseph Fowler, 22, of 7 Eastern Ave., and Robert Moore, 39, of 5309 E. Washington St., were treated at Methodist Hospital for cuts and bruises suffered when the truck in which they were riding struck the old crossing elevation on Sherman Drive. Mr. Fowler, the driver, told police he dozed at the wheel, they said. Charles C. Nieman, 28, of 5314 Guilford Ave., suffered . lacerations

when his car struck a safety zone |

guard in the 2200 block of W. Washington St. He was treated at City Hospital. J. C. Settler,c 49, of Route 14, Box 325, was treated by a private physician after the car he was driving ran into a ditch at 7ist St. and Keystone Ave. Deputy sheriffs investigated the accident.

Eis young wife’s joy over birth of John Jacoh Healy — the only Christmas "gif; she and her husbanc wanted—was changed to grief last night when Dr, Lamont informed her of her husband’s death. “she had nothing to say,” the doctor related. “She’s a -very sensible girl.” Autopsy Ordered

The coroner ordered Mr. Healy's body removed from the undertaker’s where it had been embalmed in the belief that he had died of heart trouble. An autopsy will disclose whether his skull had been fractured. Police hunted his assailant, but in traveling the unsteady route that Mr. Healy took Stnday night and

early Monday morging after he had looked fondly at his sleeping infant in the hospital maternity ward, they could discover only that Mr. Healy had eelgbrated not wisely, buf too well. : There were reports that Mr. Healy had engaged in a terrific fight at the Trocadero, rendezvous of the movie stars, where the walls are deep blue, the atmosphere is luxurious, and a scotch and soda costs a dollar,

Fight Story Denied: Hd. W. Hoffman, the suave manager, said Mr. Healy had arrived there about 1:15 a. m. but had been drinking so heavily that attendants put him into a taxicab instead of selling him another whisky. “Mr. Healy was a good friend ef ours and there positively was no rough stuff,” Mr. Hoffman said. Man Mountain Dean, the be-

hemoth 'wrestler, who accompanied Mr. Healy to a Hollywood doctor's oFice for treatment, reported that he had been standing on front of the Plaza Hotel at 2:30 a. m. when a taxicab rolled up and? the
