5-Point Program Urged as Expiration of Trade Pact Nears.
TOKYO, Dec. 20 (U. P.).—Nearly| 600 prominent Japanese, including former Cabinet officers and high military leaders, at a mass meeting | today called upon the Government | not to co-operate with the Soviet | Union and to avoid a “complex, against United States and British | views.”
The meeting, called amidst Japanese Government attempts to placate U. S. officials and public opinion and to obtain renewal or extension of the American-Japanese commercial treaty, scheduled to expire on Jan. 26, adopted this fivepoint program: 1. The Government was urged to take appropriate measures to terminate Japan's undeclared war on China. The Government was asked to “enswer the wishes of the nation by achieving the objective of the present crusade.”
Cites Communist Activity
2. Remove any advocacy of cooperation with the Soviet Union. 3. Call the attention of the Gov-| ernment to underground al ist activities. 4. Re-examine renovation policies. (This point refers to proposals to review and revise all Japanese Government policies in the light of current international developments.’ | 5. Guard against a campaign | arising “from a fear complex against | pro-United States and pro- “British | views.” Former Ministers Attend
The meeting, described as a | “rally,” was attended by 586 prominent persons including former Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita, Gen. Takashi Hishikari, former Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army (Japanese armed forces in Manchukuo), Gen. Jinsaburo Mazaki, former Inspector General of Military Education, and Matajiro Moizumi, former Minister of Communications. Earlier, Y. Suma, Foreign Office spokesman, had announced that civil, military and naval authorities were co-operating to reopen the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers in China to international trade as soon as possible,
American Reaction Waited
In a move believed designed to placate American public and private opinion and obtain extension of the commercial treaty, Foreign Minister Admiral K. Nomura yesterday promised U. S. Ambassador Joseph C. Grew the Yangtze would be reopened. Mr. Suma said American reaction to the Japanese moves was awaited anxiously. In his conversations with Ambassador Grew, Mr. Nomura explaine& how undesirable it would be for Japan and the United States to be without commercial treaty relations after Jan. 26, but it was emphasized that negotiations for a new treaty or extension of the present treaty have not been opened yet. The treaty was denounced by the U. S. five months ago in protest against restrictions placed on American and other foreign trade in China by the Japanese military.

The Finns believe that if the necwar supplies are poured in they can hold out. One of their] handicaps is the lack of reserves to replace and relieve the men at the front, who are fighting almost without respite. The latest step was to call up additional men, those around 40. For a country of less than 4,000,000 total population, Fin- | land already has put a surprisingly efficient army of -300,000 into the] field and apparently is not at the! end of its resources. The women of the Volunteer Svaerd Corps are almost as valuable as men, doing work behind the lines usually requiring soldiers, and thus releasing thousands of men for [AEhng.

figures were both correct, 51 persons are unaccounted for. Capt. Harry A. Badt, master 'f
the Tuscaloosa, either was reporting | | very sketchily to the Navy Depart-|
