News Review of Current Events the World Over Japan Suddenly Squelches North China Autonomy Scheme?Italy Struggles Against Economic Sane- N tions?President Talks to Mayors About Taxes. I ?| By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. ? JAPAN suddenly1 learned that the autonomy movement In the north ern provinces of China, fostered by the Japanese army commanders, was naeiy to prejudice her case In the naval con ference soon to open In London. There fore the army high command In Tokyo told Its subordinates on the continent to "lay off." and the am bitious schemes of Maj. Gen. Kenji Dol hara came to naught, at least for the pres ent That plotter, who Kenji Doihara had become known as "the Lawrence of China," quietly departed from Feiplng and his early return was not expected. Thus, for the first time in recent years, the Japanese militarists have I been checked, by the Tokyo govern ment, which Informed them that the mission of the Japanese army in Man chukuo did not include Intriguing for separation of the Chinese provinces and that it would not be permitted to pass south of the great wall without an imperial order. Instead of the autonomy coup, the Nanking government was told by the Japanese authorities in China that it must institute reforms in the northern provinces. Akira Ariyoshl, Japanese ambassador, had a long conference with Dictator Chiang Kai-shek in Nan king, and told the press he had re ceived assurance that the Chinese gov ernment was adequately prepared to cope with the situation In north China. Ariyoshl said he had also received as surance that Nanking desired to con tiuue friendly relations with Japan. Neutral observers in China are not convinced that the autonomy move ment will not be revived at the first opportunity. pilESIDENT ROOSEVELT has gone * to Warm Springs, Ga., for his an nual visit, and for three weeks will divide his time among rest, politics and work. He was to deliver one speech at Atlanta; and after his return to Washington he will journey to Chicago to deliver an address on December 9 which probably will be an argument for a permanent AAA. Following his Chicago speech, Pres ident Roosevelt will go to South Bend, Ind., to accept an honorary degree and make a brief address at the Univer sity of Notre Dame. The acceptance of this invitation was considered an adroit political move because of his re cent refusal to take any action con cerning the Catholic persecutions in Mexico. OOMETHING new under the sun is ^ now being tried out?an economic war to put a stop to a military war. Fifty-two nations are united in the imposition of sanctions against Italy, which became an outlaw na tion on November 18 by decree of the League of Nations. Four league nations, all unimportant, re fused to participate. They are Austria, Hungary, Albania and Paraguay. Indirect support is given the league by two non Gen. Badogllo member nations, the United States and Germany. Nearly all the world's chief ports are closed to Italian goods, j find exports to Italy of arms, war ma- ( terlals and a long list of key products has stopped. Loans and credits for the Italian government, public bodies, j corporations and Individuals are for bidden. Should this momentous action sue- | ceed, It would seem that the end of lienlto Mussolini and the Fascist re- ' gime In Italy 19 in sight. Should it ( tail, the L^hgue of Nations fails, the British communications In the Mediter- I ranean would be threatened, and the ' peace of the world would be menaced. * Standing steadfast against the sane- y tlons. Premier Mussolini proclaimed the day on which they were estab lished "a day of ignominy and in- I iquity," as had been declared by the , I Fascist grand council. The day was t made a holiday, flags flew from all 1 buildings and there were numerous an- -J pry demonstrations against the mem- c her nations of the league. The fron I tiers of Italy and Its ports were closed I to goods of thosa nations except for g certain necessities. Restrictions of c food, fuel and llsrhf werp nnt in force- t It was announced In Rome that 100, 000 of the recently mobilized soldiers would be given a furlough of three months to aid Industrial and agricul tural production. As for the Ethiopian war Itself, Mus solini announced an Important change in commanders. Gen. Emilio de Bono was recalled with warm praise for hav ing achieved his mission "under ex tremely difficult circumstances" and [ was to be elevated to the rank of mar shal. Gen. Pletro Badoglio, chief of j staff, was appointed to succeed De Bono as commander In chief of the ln ; vading armies. Emperor Halle Selassie made two airplane trips to the fighting fronts, visiting Harar and Dlredawa and in specting his troops in the South. The government at Addis Ababa denied Italian claims that 2,000 Ethiopians had been killed in a terrific battle with Italian fliers. The communique said: "Information from the commander of troops in the region of Makale states the recent intensive bombardment of their positions by ten Italian planes caused thirty deaths and slightly wounded fifty. Instead of the 2,000 killed as mentioned In the press com munique from Asmara." WHEN a hundred mayors, assem bled In Washington to discuss the work relief program, called on the President, he talked chiefly about taxes. ? which he said have I grown up like Topsy I In this country." He 1 then announced that I he planned to call a | conference of city and | state officials late In I the winter for the pur Spose of studying the whole system of taxa 5 tion which, he said, | should be simplified. Concerning the mat ter of continuance of relief, Mr. Roosevelt Mayor La Guardia told the mayors: "It is a question that yon have to combat My answer, and I am sore yours will be the same for city gov ernments, is that we do not propose to let people starve. Some people will be surprised to find that the gigantic works program will be substantially carried out by the end of November, just as it was planned last spring." The mayors elected F. H. La Guardia of New York president of their an nual conference and Edward J. Kelly of Chicago vice president, a position usually leading to the presidency the following year. La Guardia succeeds Daniel W. Hoan of Milwaukee. The mayors recommended that the social security act be amended to in clude old age pensions for municipal employees and urged co-operation by cities with the Department of Justice for the suppression of crime. POPE PIUS surprised the world by naming twenty new cardinals, who will be installed at a secret consistory December 16 and a public one Decem ber 19. In the group are fifteen Ital ians, two Frenchmen, one Argentine, one Spaniard and one Czechoslovakian. With these additions the sacred col lege will have sixty-nine members, the largest number In the history of the church and only one short of the full complement The sacred college will now be composed of thirty-nine Italians and thirty non-Italians. The pope also named the Most Rev. Joseph C. Plagens, recently auxiliary bishop of Detroit, as bishop of the di ocese of Marquette?Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and Most Itev. Gerald P. O'Hara. auxiliary bishop of Philadelphia, as oishop of the Savannah diocese. CHAIRMAN HENRY P. FLETCHER of the Republican national commit :ee Issued a call for a meeting of the tommittee in Washington on December 16 to fix the time and place of the oarty's national convention of 1936 and o consider the apportionment of dele rates. It was reported that Chicago vas in the lead among the cities seek ng the convention. Mr. Fletcher also announced the ap Kdntment of a committee of sixteen >romlnent industrialists and lawyers to ?aise a big campaign fund. William 5. Bell of New York, president of the American Cyanamid company, will be ?halrman of the committee, and Charles i. Goodspeed, assstant treasurer of the tepublican national committee, Chlca ;o lawyer, will be vice chairman. Many if the members have never before par icinated arrive)' in y.tinnil DOIltica. ANOTHER prominent figure of the World war passed with the death of Earl Jelllcoe, who commanded the united British fleet In the great battle of Jutland and was severely criticized because he did not succeed in com pletely defeating the German fleet Jelllcoe, who entered the nary as a cadet at thirteen years of age, had a colorful career on British ships and In administrative positions throughout the world until at the end of four years as governor general of New Zealand In 1924 he practically retired from official public life. PLANS to establish a three hun dredth anniversary fund at Har vard university this year, for the awarding of large annual prize scholar ships to boys In each state of the Union, were announced by President James B. Conant In a letter sent to 65,000 Harvard alumni. The fund will also be used for the creation of pio neering professorships of an entirely new type. AMERICAN business generally Is 4* pleased with the terms of the new trade treaty with Canada, made public simultaneously In Washington and Ot tawa. Farmers and the lumber men of the northwest will not like it High tariff advocates In congress are sure to attack the pact but Its terms cannot be affected for three years. An analysis of the pact shows that the United States grants concessions to Canada on 79 major commodities. In cluding : Tariff slash on four-year-old whisky from $1 to 50 cents per fifth of ? gallon. Reductions In duties on specified quotas of beef cattle (from 3 to 2 cents per pound on animals over 700 pounds); dairy cows (2% to H4 cents); cream (56.6 cents to 35 cents per gallon); white or Irish seed po tatoes (75 to 45 cents per 100 pounds); Douglas fir and western hemlock (50 per cent). Reduced duties on lumber and tim ber of other kinds; cheddar cheese, turnips, apples, hay, maple sugar, live poultry, horses, halibut and some other fish; some leathers and ferro-man ganese. A pledge to keep on the free list Canadian pulpwood, newsprint, unman ufactured wood, shingles, lath, lobsters, certain furs, crude asbestos, artificial abrasives and fertilizers. A promise to maintain the present 10 per cent duty on feedstutts for animals. On the part of Canada the duties are cut on ISO commodities, some of the leading concessions being: Reduc tions on wheat (from 30 to 12 cents a bushel); off-season fresh vegetables (50 per cent); vegetables Imported In marketing season (35 per cent); most classes of farm machinery (50 per cent); Industrial machinery (35 to 25 per cent); mining and textile machin ery ; radios (30 to 25 per cent); elec tric refrigerators; tlnplate manufac tures; dressed lumber; building mate rials; motor vehicles; cotton fabrics, furs, chemicals, silk fabrics, cotton manufactures, electrical apparatus. Also rata cuts on oranges, grape fruit, nuts. Iron and steel manufac tures. Place magazines and potatoes on the free list A pledge to grant the United States, 1 on 767 articles, the lowest rates paid by any non-British country. A promise to keep raw cotton on the free list and to put tractors on that list Prime minister Stanley bald win and bis Conservative gov ernment party won an impressive vic tory In the British parliamentary elee tlons, although the L? borites succeeded Id de creasing the Conserva tive majority In the house by about 60 seats. Baldwin him self was unopposed foi re-election, but Ham say MacDonald, lord president of the coun cil and former prime minister, was badly defeated, as was bis son, Malcolm, who has been minister of col Ramsay MacDonald onles. The elder Macuonald lert the Labor party to form the na tional government, and the Labor Ites had been after hia scalp ever since. The government party will have a majority of about 230 In the neit house of commons. NO CANON of ethics was violated by the lawyers- committee of the American Liberty league when It of fered to defend gratis the constitu tional rights of any citizen unable to pay fees for such defense. Moreover, the lawyers' committee Is Justified In preparing and disseminating "opinions upon legislation with particular refer ence to the constitutionality of such legislation." Such Is the opinion of the American Bar association's committee on profes sional ethics and grievances, given In response to a complaint made by C. N. Davie of Atlanta, Ga. The bar committee emphasized that It ex pressed "no opinion as to the sound ness of the conclusions reached by the national lawyers' committee." I These Men May Make Starhemberg a King I I HERE In Vienna are member* of the Belmnehr, the private army of Prince Ernat von Starhemberg, vice chancellor of Austria, which la planning to elevate him to the rank of regent of the country and later to proclaim him king. They believe the establishment of a Starhemberg royal dynasty prefer able to the restoration of the Hapsburgs In the person of Archduke Otto, as the latter action would be strongly opposed by the little entente and some of I the great powers. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS SAMMY JAY ARRIVES WHEN Reddy Fox arrived at the pond of Paddy, the Beaver, the hunter who was hiding there saw him instantly. So did Lightfoot, the Defer. But no one else did. He approached in that cautious, careful way that he always uses when he is hunting. The Instant he reached a place where he could see all over Paddy's pond he stopped as suddenly as If he had been turned to stone. He stopped with one foot lifted in the act of taking a step. He had seen Mr. and Mrs. Quack. Now you know there is nothing Red dy Fox likes better for a dinner than a duck. The instant he saw Mr. and Mrs. Quack, a gleam of longing crept Into his eyes. I Reddy stood motionless until both Mr. and Mrs. Quack had their heads under water as they searched for food In the mud in the bottom of the pond. ; Then, like a red flash, he bounded ou* ?m ? i i k.v.t_j ? v. ? .1 ?m n..u_ il. n Bi^ui iraiiiuu nir <.iihi ul i auuj, me Bearer. Presently the honter saw Red dy'g black nose at the end of the dam as Reddy peeped around It to watch Mr. and Mrs. Quack. The latter were slowly moving along In that direction as they fed. Reddy was quick to see this. If he remained right where he was and Mr. and Mrs. Quack kept on feeding In that direction, the chances were that be would have a dinner of fat duck. All he need do was to be patient and wait. So. with his eyes fixed fast on Mr. and Mrs. Quack. Reddy Fox crouched behind Paddy's dam and waited. ( , Watching Reddy and the ducks, the . hunter almost forgot Llghtfoot, the - Deer. Mr. and Mrs. Quack were get ting very near to where Reddy was waiting for them. The hunter was , tempted to get np and frighten those Ducks. He didn't want Reddy Fox to i 1 have them because he hoped some da; to get them himself. "I suppose," thought he, "I was fool ish not to shoot them when I had the chance. They are too far away now and It looks very much as If that red rascal will get one of them. I believe I'll spoil that red scamp's plans by frightening them nway. I don't be lieve that deer will be back here to day, anyway, so I may as well save those ducks." But the hunter did nothing of the kind. You see, Just as he was getting ready to step out from his hiding place, Sammy Jay arrived. He perched In a tree close to the end of Paddy's dam, and at once he spied Reddy Fox. It didn't take him a second to discover what Reddy was hiding there for. "Thief! Thief! Thief!" screamed Sammy, and then peered down at Reddy with a mischievous look in his sharp eyes. There is nothing Sammy Jay delights In more than In upsetting the plans of Reddy Fox. At the soand of Sammy's voice, Sir. and Mrs. Qnack swam hurriedly towards the middle of the pond. They knew exactly what that warning meant Reddy Fox looked up at Sammy Jay and snarled angrily. Then, knowing It was nseless to hide longer, he bounded away through the Green Forest to hunt elsewhere. C T. W.
