CLAIM DONAHEY

18 OUT OF RACE!

Sources in Capital Report Senator Won't Seek Ohio’s Delegates.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Sentor Vic Donahey (D. 0.) was reliably reported today to have’ informed Ohio friends that he had decided against entering the Ohio Presidential primaries as a “favorite son” candidate. The Senator refused to discuss the report or to throw light on his 45minute conference yesterday with President Roosevelt. Other sources, however, said they understood the Ohioan had told the President he had no intention of becoming a “favorite son” candidate as a stalking horse for any candidate, ‘even Mr. Roosevelt.

Recalls Limbach Move

Mr. Roosevelt was understood to have requested him to withhold his announcement pending his forthcoming conference with Charles Sawyer, Ohio Democratic National Committeeman. Mr. Sawyer, a New Deal ally, will be in Washsgton, Feb. 5. In communications to Ohio confidants, the Senator is reported to have said that recent events have prompted his conclusion that it is unnecessary for Ohio Democrats to have a “favorite son” this year. It was presumed that he was referring to the recent announcement by Arthur L. Limbach, Ohio Democratic chairman, that the Ohio delegates to the national convention would be delivered to Mr. Roosevelt or any candidate of his choice, although the delegation would nominally be pledged to Senator Donahey. Garner Possible Entry The Senator's withdrawal as a “favorite son” candidate would throw the field wide open to out-of-state candidates to battle it out for Ohio’s 52 delegates. Friends of Vice President Garner are certain’ that he would enter the Ohio race under those circumstances. Paul V. McNutt, who at first was chilly to the idea, is now regarded as a posible entry if Mr. Garner files.

JANITOR FOUND DEAD Michael Shea, janitor for 20 years at 1436 E. Washington St.,. was found dead in his basement apartment today. Deputy coroner Norman R. Boohe¥#, who investigated said death apparently was due to heart disease. Mr. Shea was 68.

WATCH BRITAIN'S NEXT

U. 3,

May Be Sabotaged as In Manchurian Crisis.

B LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—There is fear here that the British may sabotage the United States in its dispute with Japan now, as they did in the Manchurian crisis. With termination of the Ameri-

can-Japanese trade treaty, Japan’s essential war supplies from : this country are in jeopardy. But trade barriers of various kinds President Roosevelt — whenever he desires— can bargain more. effectively with Japan for observance of violated American rights and of the disregard-. ed nine - power treaty. That is, ~ Yr Demny unless ‘Great 3ritain comes to the aid of Japan. Any danger of Britain helping Japan against the United States may seem absurd in view of present

our indirect protection of British interests in the Far East, and in view of the current Tokyo-London dispute over British removal of Germans from a Japanese ship. But it is a definite possibility. Failure of Britain to abrogate her Japanese trade treaty—aithough her violated interests in the Far East are larger than ours—was devastating proof of London’s unwillingness to co-operate with Washington.

Feared Quarrel, London Says

London's alibi was that she could not risk a Japanese quarrel when a European war threatened. = Now that Britain is at war, she feels! more strongly than ever the need of Japanese friendship. When Washington went it alone

six months ago in giving notice of treaty abrogation, no serious thought was given to the possibility that the British might grab any embargoed Jaapnese trade. But Britain's

policy in recen: weeks of raiding American export markets and of reducing her own agricultural purchases here to buy elsewhere, has been an eye-opener. Despite heated indignation : in some quarters, the Administration is facing the situation with calm realm. It hopes that the British Government may not continue to be as shortsighted as at present.

Hull Avoids Extremes

The Administration’s recent handling of the dispute with Japan is probably the high point in Roosevelt foreign policy. There has been a maximum of firmness with a minimum of jingoism. The President and Secretary of State Cordell Hull have avoided the two extremes —of continuing to underwrite Japanese aggression, as the British are

doing; or of clamping down an immediate embargo. Instead, the Administration has freed its hands and put Japanese relations on a day-to-day basis. The Administration has thus put itself in a strong position and

negotiations ahead, but without taking any irrevocable step to prevent a friendly settlement. Japan is dependent on our trade, and we are not dependent on her.
