atic moves which have reflected the growing concern of this.

State Department officials would not disclose the exact identity of the nations which have been Trequested to extend standing permission for the visits of warships. Costa Rica already has given such permission publcly. The visit of the Atlantic fleet into the Caribbean was explained by informed sources as designed to coincide with Holland's recent fear of an impending German invasion.

Cabinet to Meet Monday to ‘Consider Statement on Seizure of Nazis.

TOKYO, Jan. 27 (U. P.)—Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita was reported today to have asked Britain to reconsider her reply to the strong Japanese protest against action of a British warship in stopping the

Japanese liner Asama Maru and taking therefrom 21 German sea-

men. The British reply, handed to Arita today by British Ambassador Sir Robert Craigie, was described officially by the Japanese as a “lengthy, legalistic document.” The Cabinet was called for Mon-

day .to consider the statement on

the Asama Maru incident which Premier Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai will make to Parliament when it reconvenes next week.

U. S. Is Settling Down

To Diplomatic Contest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (U. P.) —

The United States settled down today to a long and coolly calculated’ diplomatic contest over the future of American interests in the Orient.

The Japanese-American commer-

cial treaty of 1911 became null an&® void last midnight, at the end of

ths’ notice given by Secate Cordell Hull. ‘The United States now can im-

another power to her Carribean possessions. : Reports Subs Slip Blockade

More important than this pos-

sibility, however, were reports that three or more German submarines

have slipped the Allied blockade and

have reached waters near Trinidad, a British possession near the Dutch Islands. : From there, it was reported, the submarines would be able to conduct raiding operations on Allied shipping or, perhaps, protect German merchant vessels which have been in Latin American ports since the outbreak of the war. American interest in such a case would primarily revolve around the declaration of Panama under which the American republics set up the “safety zone.” Since the outbreak of war there have been only a few

major incidents to test that declara-|

tion. The most important was the battle between the German pocket battleship - Graf Von Spee and three

British warships off Montevideo,

Uruguay. The Americans have protested this incident to the belligerents. Great Britain and France have promised to observe the zone if observed by Germany. No answer has been made by Germany.

concessions, when Japan first imposed the block-

pose higher tariffs on Japanese goods. It can extend its “moral embargo” against many supplies that Japan buys here for her war machine. The way is legally clear for Congress to enact a formal embargo. But no such actions have -been taken. Business with Japan goes on as usual. Everything indicates. Mr. Hull is ‘content to sit back fvr a while now and wait to see if discrimination against American trade in China is stopped; what sort of guarantees Japan may offer; and whether Japan tries to turn to anyone else for, the trade [in which she has been highly dependent on the U. 8S. A bloc in Congress, and a veciferous one, continues to demand action on embargo proposals. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee may discuss those proposals next week.

Japan Tightens Blockade

On Tientsin Concessions TIENTSIN, China, Jan. 27 (U.P). — Japanese Army authorities suddenly tightened their blockade of the British and French concessions today. Market booths in the concessions were emptied of food quickly by anxious householders and prices more than doubled. Japanese authorities informed the British cdnsulate that they intended to electrify barbed wire barricades

surrounding the concessions, start-

ing tomorrow. This drastic measure, intended to prevent “smuggling” of food into the had been resorted to

today.

President Roosevelt was accused !

of being one of the statesmen responsible for the Europsan war. Denouncing the President's choice of Myron C. Taylor, former head of the United States Steel Corp., as his personal representative at the Vatican, the newspaper said that Mr. Roosevelt's choice of a Quaker representative in a nation which had 20,000,000 Catholics showed a lack of desire| on the President's part for his “greatly heralded” peace

REPORT 2 RED DIVISIONS HELD IN DEATH TRAP

Supply Routes of Thousands Of Russians at Mercy Of Finnish Guns.

By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent HELSINKI, Jan. 27. — Russian troops which yesterday renewed their offensive against the Finns northeast of Lake Ladoga suffered heavy losses and some attacking detachments - were “entirely cut to pieces,” an official Finnish communique announced today. The communique said also that a Russian submarine had been destroyed in a Finnish mine field. Finnish sources, rejoicing in continued Finnish success in throwing back the Russian attacks northeast of Lake Ladoga, said today they be-| lieved the battle was developing into a Russian defeat.

Supply Routes Shelled

‘Press dispatches reported that two Soviet divisions. which might number anywhere from 10,000 to 18,000 men each, had lost contact with each other after trying vainly for days to get through to reinforce the Russians who had been attacking the Finns northeast of the lake for seven days. One. division was reported to be in the Atojoki sector, the other in the Killaanjoki sector. Supply routes were reported at the mercy of Finnish guns. It had been reported that a dwindling of Russian bombing plane attacks on Finnish towns was due to a call for planes to drop supplies to this force. f

Snow is Six Feet Deep

A Stockholm dispatch said {he Government had named a special committee to make arrangements for evacuation of cities in event of an emergency. The Copenhagen newspaper Berlingske Tidende in a dispatch from Stockholm sald that a great victory seemed to be in prospect for the Finns northeast of Lake Ladoga. It was said that the Russians, in their attacks on that front, had trouble ‘getting up food because the snow was more than six feet deep. Finns were said to have reported that Russian soldiers seemed willing to fraternize with Finns in the front lines and that a large number of Russians crossed no man’s land as deserters. The newspaper reported, from the Karelian Isthmus, that a Finnish patrol operating behind the Russian lines took an officer prisoner. Then Russians began to encircle the patrol. The patrol ran, it was said, and the Russian officer, without being told, ran, too, and reached the Finnish lines 100 yards ahead of the patrol. He was quoted as saying that he feared he would be shot by Russian soldiers if he returned. Finnish men of the first category of the class of 1898, now 42 years old, were ordered today to report to the colors Feb. 2. Those affected are men who have had military training.

MILK PLAN SCORED BY CIVIC FEDERATION

The proposed milk control ordinance pending before City Council is a “vicious” measure that may drive small distributors out of business, according to the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs. Paul C. Wetter, Federation president, attacked the measure after the organization last. night voted to vigorously combat its passage. The Federation urged sanitary milk, but demanded that it be provided under fair control. Opposition was voiced against several classes of the pending ordinance. It included failure of the measure to require dated bottle caps as is required in many cities. Federation spokesmen also. believe that the measure would give the City Health Board too much power. The ordinance, sponsored by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health officer, would prevent the sale of anything but Grade A milk in the oy ; The measure in its present form allows for two methods of pasteurization, according to the Federation, and asserts that one method, the “flash system” is obsolete. W. Otto Love, of the Forty Plus Club, told federation members about his organization. The Federation voted to indorse the club, whose Purpose is to find work for men over

Names of several charter members of the Commercial Club who no longer are actively associated with the Chamber were read by Mr. Alexander. Among them were Winfield Miller, a former president; William L. Elder; Meredith Nicholson, now ‘minister to Nicaragua; George C. Hitt, Samuel O. Pickens, Charles N. Thompson, Dr. W. N. Wishard Sr., Otto Gresham and John W. Holtzman. Another charter member giyen recognition was George Hammel, 92, lof 4147 Carrollton Ave., probably the oldest person present. Mr. Hammel, in the grocery business here 60 years, still has his original membership receipt, issued Feb. 22, 1880. At the time of his retirement four years ago he was operating a grocery at 410 Massachusetts Ave. : Mr. MV _.Cormick, who was accompanied here from Chicago by a group of Harvester officials, traced Indianapolis’ history from 1820 down to the present and cited the City’s many advantages as a business center and as a place to live. He recalled that back in 1831, in Steele’s Tavern, Virginia, the first public demonstration of the reaping machine invented by his grandfather was demonstrated.

chines ever sent into the west went to Fayette County, Ind. for use in the harvest of 1845, he said. By the Civil War days, he recalled, the company had established companyowned supply bases, forerunners of the present company branch houses, in several cities of the state, including Indianapolis. “Then, as now,” he said, “we considered Indianapolis a good place to do business.” Discussing the characteristics of the people of Indianapolis, Mr. McCormick said: : an “Certainly, one of the characteristics that stands out is the essential Americanism in © Indianapolis. Ninety-six per eent of your people are native Americans. That means a population in which there are

‘Emphasis Lessened

He declared there are three parties interested in the operation of business today—the stockholders, employees, and customers. It is to the interest of all three groups, he said, that the business be soundly and conservatively conducted so that it will remain in operation, adding: “No temporary drain on the company's resources caused by excessive demands of any one group is to the ultimate interest of any group, because such drains, if continued, inevitably would result in the collapse of the whole. . . .- . “The obligation of management to employee is concerned with the

On the subject of wages, the most important thing to the employee is not so much his hourly rate of pay as the amount of money he has earned during the year. “This figure depends as much on the regularity of his employment as upon any other factor, and to secure a more continuous employ‘ment is one-of the great problems which face industrial management.” 0 In his farewell address, Mr. Alexander said “private enterprise has created higher living standards, greater economic security and better cultural opportunities for all the citizens of Indianapolis than any. government has ever been able to [create for its citizenship.” “I realize,” he said, “there are some people in our land today ‘who by! their actions. if mot by their words, would dispute the senti/ments which I express, “To them, business is a Frank--enstein, grinding unfortunate slaves beneath its heels.

Too many of them know that here in America, a far greater number of our people are able to achieve personal ideals of religion, of culture, of comforts of living, security against disaster or against old age, and individual freedom, such as has been won for no other peoples in the history of the world.” International Harvester officials who were introduced included C.

Gainard said the Germans brought aboard in bags, which were never unpacked, a machine gun, bombs and hand grenades. Capt. Gainard paid tribute to the Norwegian Government and fo: the “wonderful way” the Norwegians treated the Flint and its crew when Norway took the ship away from the Germans. : “If an American ship had come into an American port in trouble it couldn’t have had more done for it than was done by the Norwegians for the City of Flint,” he said. “Mus. Florence Harriman (American Minister to Norway) has demonstrated beyond any doubt that women can hoid important diplomatic posts as well as men.”

Raider Came Up Fast

He said the Flint’s adventures began at 3 p. m. Oct. 9. The Nazi sea raider—he declined to identify it—came up to the ship fast. It flew flag signals ordering the Flint to halt. The ship was en route to England. ad “They sent a boarding officer aboard,” he said. “He was a lieutenant. Spoke English and was a fine fellow. I'm sorry I didn’t get. his name. : “He said he was sorry he had to stop us and asked to see the ship’s papers. He seemed interested in the flour we had aboard. Apparently there was a food shortage aboard the battleship. ; ; “I was asked if I could take 38 male passengers to the United States. . I said I could. The officer signaled that to his commander. “Then the German lieutenant was called back to his ship. Later a launch came alongside carrying the crew of the British ship, Stonegate, which was sunk earlier by the Germans. The German prize crew came along at the same time. Another lieutenant #vas in charge of the boarding crew.

Followed Captain’s Advice

“He called together the’ Stonegate’s crew and told them they had to take orders from me or he'd kill them. He told the American crew that they would continue to func tion as usual and that the ship would proceed to Germany. “The lieutenant held a conference with me as to how we would sail to Germany. He proposed one course and I suggested another. He took my suggestion, saying that was the course he intended to follow in the first place. “We finally arrived at Tromsoe, rway. We had the usual North Atlantic winter weather. It was foggy and stormy. At Tromsoe we took on fresh water. Finally the Norwegians ordered us out to sea. But because of the weather and the known danger of British warships in the vicinity and mines—that night five ships were sunk by mines—it was decided “fo go to Murmansk. He said that the Germans and Americans co-operated in navigat= ing the ship. No effort, he said, was made to keep hiin under surveillance “As for those claims by the Germans that we had engine trouble and that the stop in Murmansk therefore was justified, there is nothing to them. There was nothing the matter with the machinery of this ship. The engines and boilers were always in perfect condition to go to sea. There was no sea dam-
