JAPS WARN RUSSIA ON FISHING TREATY
TOKYO, Dec. 6 (U. P.).—Japan has sent to Russia a sharply worded demand for conclusion of a new fisheries convention, it was announced today. The text of the demand was not
immediately published. Its stern nature was indicated, however, by the statement .of an official Foreign Office spokesman that Japan would never tolerate nullification of her fishing rights off the Siberian coast. “Settlement of this question. is most essential for the preservation of normal Russian-Japanese relations and consequently the peace of East Asia,” the spokesman said.

Cuba May Get Loan of Five Million for Defense.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor ON BOARD THE SANTA CLARA, Dec. 6.—A tightening-up of the defensive mechanism of the Western Hemisphere, in order to present some sort of united front against foreign aggression, will likely be one of the major accomplishments of the forthcoming Pan-American conference beginning Friday at Lima. This will not be the simple task it may appear on the surface. It can hardly take the form of an American League of Nations, as desired by some, because not all of the 21 American republics favor that plan, Nor is it believed that any hard and fast set of rules can be laid down, in advance, which can safely be relied upon in time of war as well as peace to control the actions of all the Americas. Nor above all, according to North Americans who make their homes in Latin America, can the United States afford to arm itself to the teeth and give the impression down here that it proposes to “protect” everybody regardless. That attitude, I am informed, would be resented today more than ever.
Beveridge Well Remembered On board the Santa Clara are a
South America where they have lived for years.® One of these, a clear-eyed chap who holds a managerial position in one of our really big concerns in Peru, told me this: “The good neighbor policy of the last few years has been very helpful in this part of the world. But we must not forget that, as a policy, so far as Latin Americans are concerned, it is still quite new. The old days of the big stick and dollar diplomacy are still fresh in the memory of a large and influential section of the people. “Many still don’t quite believe the reform is real. They still suspect that Senator Beveridge was really speaking the American mind when, back in 1900, he said it was the ‘manifest destiny’ of the American people to spread all over this hemisphere.” “So,” the American businessman continued, “we are still on trial. Latin Americans are still from Missouri, It’s pretty important, therefore, that we not undo the good already done. “We may know that we are not imperialists, but the others don't. We must show them. Hence, in our ‘hemisphere defense’ plans, we must be careful not to be misunderstood. We must not give the impression that our rearmament is for the purpose of setting up an American protectorate. “We must make our ‘hemisphere defense’ as nearly co-operative as possible without, at the same time, destroying our own initiative.” Argentina has definitely indicated that she is unwilling to join in any “defensive bloc” of the American nations if it means “turning our backs on European nations linked to Argentina by traditional bonds,” that is Spain, Italy and to a lesser extent, Germany. She is not alone in this stand. Probably the great majority of American Republics feel the same way.

NAZIS PREDICT
NEW VICTORY IN MEMEL VOTING
‘Fall In With March to Freedom’ Is Slogan; Program Secret.
MEMEL, Lithuania, Dec. 6 (U.|]
P.) —Posters emblazoned with the words “Fall in for the March Toward Freedom” appeared in the streets of Memel this week as Nazi leaders claimed a certain landslide in the election scheduled for next Sunday.
Tension increased steadily as the date of the election neared, al-
though the campaign has been com-|
paratively orderly since the Government acted to halt sporadic disorders some days ago. The election is being watched closely by European powers because the program of th8 German Nazis, who are concededly the strongest party, has not yet been announced. In recent months there had been unverified rumors of an impending Nazi campaign in connection with Memel, which has a form of autonomy under the Lithuanian Government. The general impression in political circles here is that there is no immediate trend toward Anschluss with Gefmany, but the election posters and the formation of a black-uniformed Memel German organization have indicated that such plans might be in the background. Jews have considered the possibility that, after the election, they may be forced to migrate en masse to Lithuania. For the last two weeks Jews have been drawing funds out of the Memel banks and Jewish. shopkeepers have been liquidating their stocks,
Two Americans
Sentenced by Nazis
, VIENNA Dec. 6 (U. P.)—Two Americans, Michael George Albert, 32, a native of New York City, and Oskar Lavine, 32, native of Elmira, N. Y., were given heavy sentences today on charges of currency smuggling. Albert was given a year in the penitentiary and fined $24,000. Lavine was given six months in jail and the same fine. The German press opened a vigorous campaign today against anti-Italian demonstrations in Tunis and Corsica. Obviously inspired, the papers described the proFrench demonstrations as ‘“scandalous” and heatedly asked, “Why is world conscience silent about antiItalian excesses?” ; Six hundred thousand Jews meanwhile were driven the first steps back toward 18th Century ghettos as last Saturday’s segregation decrees went into effect,
Loyalists Intensify
Bitter Resistance
HENDAYE, Dec. 6 (U. P.).—Rebel Generalissimo Francisco Franco, angered by the refusal of Europe's democracies to grant him -belliger~ ent rights, sent hundreds of planes out again today to bomb towns and villages of Loyalist Spain.
Gen. Franéo’s announced intention to bomb 200 “military objectives” in Loyalist Spain stirred the Government to a bitter denunciation of his methods and intensified the
resistance.

We believe it will restrict the operation of the spoils system.” Mr. Green said the Chamber will maintain a well-informed speakers’ bureau which will supply speakers for clubs and organizations wanting to know more about the.
