“Now we have thousands of | ren and women armed with rifles, light achine-guns and a few pieces of ro artillery who are carrying on the war within an area of eight counties west of Peiping. In addition, our guefrillas are still operating south of Mukden.” | Col. Chao said that despite a price placed by the Japanese on his head, he has visited Peiping disguised as a| cabbage peddler, and Shanghai ls guised as a “dandy” dressed in fine silk gowns. “The peasants are t backbone of guerrilla forces,” he said. “They supply us food and clothing and even pay taxes which local authorities turn over to us to Puy supplies. ”

Japanese campaign to revoke third-power treaty rights land bring about the abolition of extraterritoriality privileges. “Foreigners for a long time have treated Eastern races with contempt,” Liang said. “The new, China,” he continued, “would support the policies of Japan for a new order in East Asia.” He defined the new order as: “Anti-Communist, economic cooperation with Japan and abolition of extraterritoriality dnd return of foreign concessions to China.” This would be the basis, he said, for more friendly relations between

MEXICAN LAND ‘GRAB WATCHED

AS PRECEDENT|

Other, American Nations May Imitate Cardenas If U. S. Allows.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-- Genuinely concerned over the future of American interests throughout Latin America, the Administration is

watching developments in Mexico

with misgivings. Systematically, Mexico is taking over foreign holdings, apparently bent on collectivising the country as was done. in Russia. It is admitted that she can not pay for what she is expropriating. confiscation. There is where the trouble comes in; Other Latin American countries are watching the Mexican experiment with open eagerness. If Mexico can do it, they can do it too. Billions of dollars in foreign holdings, therefore, will be in danger.

Lima Delegates Warned

Members of the American delegation at Lima were warned that Washington’s failure to take a firm stand on Mexico’s seizure of foreign

oil lands, valued at 450 million dollars, will lead to similar action elsewhere in South America. The Monroe Doctrine can hardly fail to become involved, sooner or later. If it so elects, the United States can allow neighboring republice to confiscate the property of its own nationals, but Great Britain, Germany, France and other overseas powers almost certainly won't. If the United States refuses to uphold international treaty rights in this Hemisphere, other interested foreign governments may intervene. Mexico’s seizures are hurting American interests in other ways. Having expropriated . American, British and Dutch oil lands to the tune of almost half a billion dollars, Mexico is now selling oil to Nazi

—| Germany, which country is building’

up reserves for war, possibly, against Britain and France and conceivably against the United States.

Barter Hurts U. S. Workers

Lacking foreign exchange Ger= many does not pay .for the oil in cash. She does it by the barter method. Mexico swaps oil, belonging to Americans, for German automobiles, trucks, busses, typewrit« ers, electrical equipment and the like—items which she has been in the habit of buying from the United States. Americans . workers thetefors are deprived of jobs making the goods which they used to export to Mex+ ico. Instead, German workers are

employed.

Today, according to Frank L. Kluckhohn, New York Times cor respondent, Gen. Juan F. Azcarate, newly appointed Mexican Minister to Germany, is rushing to Berlin on a “secret mission.” The post has been vacant since 1937. Now Gen.

Loyalist recruits are being called from all classes in Barcelona to defend the city against rapidly approaching Rebel forces under Generalissimo #ranco. The Rebels have called on Barcelona to surrender.

Azcarate says hé “is in a hurry,’ the supposition being that he has some new deal on with the Nazis. Mr. Kluckhohn, long a correspondent in Mexico City, has just been expelled by the Cardenas Government. It was he who first reported Mexico was selling oil to Germany. U. S. Asks Compensation

The United States does not deny that Mexico has the right to expropriate foreign property. It merely asks for fair and reasonable compensation. “Many of our natiohals,” Secretary of State Hull observed in his note to the Mexican: Government, “have invested their savings in these properties and have been de-

pendent upon ‘them for their own livelihood.” Last fall, Mexico agreed to pay American citizens something like ten million dollars for farm lands

itaken from them. But, she warned,

the settlement was not to be regarded as a precedent. Payment.for the billion dollars worth .of American property today being system atically taken over by the Mexican Government, therefore, is a matter of grave doubt,

SALE PROTESTED

Loyalists Claim Neutrality Committee Closed Eyes To Violation.

LONDON, Jan. 19 (U. P.).—Pablo de Azcarate, Spanish Loyalist Ambassador, protested to the Foreign Office today against the “deliberate” silence of the Spanish Nonintervention Committee regarding the sale of six Italian warships lo the Spanish Rebels. The note cited the new edition of Jane's Fighting Ships, the authoritative naval work, in naming four destroyers and two submaries sold by the Italian Government to the

Rebels. “These sales are so many open, declared violations of “the Non|intervention agreement on the part ‘|of the Italian Government,” said

_ |the Loyalist note.

“It is impossible to believe that the ' British Government, whese Naval Intelligence service is counted one of the surest and most effective: in the world, was not at least aware of the sales; and although nothing can any longer cause surprise when it is a matter of . seeing’ major breaches of the

ed in silence, the Spanish Government can not refrain from ‘expressing not only amazement but. also energetic protest against the deliberate silence which the Nonintervention Committee maintained in these transactions.” Two thousand Communists tried to march to 10 Downing Street, official residence of Prime Minister Chamberlain, last night to demand that the Government permit the sales of arms to the Loyalists. Foot and mounted police drove them back but permitted a deputation to

enter the residence.

thrust. A slight advance was made near Pont de Armentera, east of Montblanch, the Government messages said, but Loyalist reinforcements stopped the Rebel drive. Severe fighting continued, the messages reported. : Rebels Report Advance

Dispatches from Rebel military headquarters claimed that “the advance continues all along the Catalan front,” but detailed reports on villages occupied indicated that the chief progress was in mopping up areas "already surrounded. The Rebels asserted that they were but 32 miles from Barcelona at the nearest point. - At the north end of the attacking line, they were 8% miles from Igualada. At the center they were about 16 miles west of Villafranca, after taking the villages of Esblada and Las Poblas in the Pont de Armentera sector. At the coastal end of the line, they were about 11 miles from Vendrell,
