' News Review of Current Events the Wori^ Over Sino-Japanese Row Provides Severe test "for League of Nations?Chancellor Bruening Defies Fascists and Reds. By EDWARD W. PICKARD REAL war between China and Japan became during the week more of a probability than a threat. Moreover, the situation In the Ear _________ Kast developed Into a crucial test of the worth of the League of Nations as on organization for the preservation of peace, and made likely an equally important test of the value of the multilateral Kellogg treaty banning war. It was believed that, If the efforts of the council failed, the United States and the league would In voke the Kellogg pact, and that If either China or Japan continued re calcitrant, diplomatic relations Kith the offending nation might be severed. The league council resumed its hearings of the controversy, and Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese representative, and Kenklchl Yoshlzawa, Japanese delegate, spoke at length. The former demanded Immediate action by the league, declaring that a miscarriage of justice would Jeopardize the faith of the world in Geneva and doom to failure the International disarmament conference next February. Yoshlzawa countered' by explaining and defend ing Japan's actions In Manchuria and reiterated the Intention of his gov ernment to permit no outside Inter vention In the dispute. He said the matter could be settled only by direct negotiations between Japan .and Chlnd. Doctor Sze replied: "Chinawill never agree to such a course so long as Japanese troops Invade ber soil and until Japan makes Just repara tions for the loss of Chinese lives and , property." While the debate was In progress Doctor Sze received word that Jap anese army plane^ had just bombed two more towns Tar west of Mukden. This action, like the bombing of Chin chow, was later defended by Tokyo with the assertion tbnt Chinese had fired at the planes, which were scout ing. Notwithstanding the strenuous ob jections of Japan, the council voted 13 to 1, to invite the United States to participate in the discussion of meas ures to end the hostilities In Man churia. This invitation Secretary Stlmson had already said would be accepted, and Consul Prentiss B. Gil bert was on hand to represent this country though without a vote. Japan, It was thought, might withdraw from the league. The American diplomatic commis sion Investigating the Mnachurlan crisis continued its work, but was for bidden by the Japanese to go to Chin ch o\v. Throughout mufh of China the anti Japanese boycott was gaining ground rapidly, and this especially irked Tokyo. It became evident that the Japanese cabinet, previously reported a split over the policy In Mnnchurla, had come together again and that Premier Rhldehara was sup porting the militar ists. It la feared by the Nanking government that Manchnrla was definitely lost by China. Chang Hsueh Hang, the young gov ernor of the province, appeared to hare been driven out by the Japanese, who nre determined be shall not re-establish his control there. This determination was probably the real reason for the bombing of Chln chow, which Chang had made his temporary eapltaL Civic orgs rela tions In Manchuria appealed to *he Nationalist government to resume re lations with Soviet Russia, saying that only In that way could tbe an nexation of Manchuria by Japan be prevented. Marshal Chang was mov ing his troops to strategic points, and evidently was backed up by President Chiang Kai-shek, who has declared himself prepared to go to war with Japan if the efforts of the league and the Cnlted States are futile. SPAIN'S national assembly b; an overwhelming frete adopted an article In the new constitution ? the republic which declares that "no state religion exists" Thus was tbe Cath olic church divorced from its union with the state which boa existed for many centuries. The article also ? ? - f - V *? ? ' : bang the church from engaging In commercial, Industrial and education al activities. Another article which > would dis solve all church orders was rejected, but one was adopted that provides for the expulsion of all Jesuits from Spain, to take place when the constitution goes Into effect. Only the Socialist radicals Insisted on the wholesale ex pulsion of monks and nuns. The action of the Cortes was fol lowed by antl-elerlcal demonstrations in a number of cities, and at Santan der an attempt wa? made to burn a Carmelite convent. Not In sympathy with the action against the Catholic church and or ders, President Znmora resigned and Minister of War Manuel Azana be came head of the government. INCORPORATED under the laws of Delaware, the National Credit corporation was prepared to go ahead with Its mission of assisting banks throughout the country "to utilise their resources to further the stabiliz ation of financial and economic condi tions." The corporation has 12 direc tors, one from each federal reserve district, and each of them holds one of the 12 shares of SIQQ, par value. TJie fuads within which the corpo ration will operate will be raised through the sale of debentures to the banks of the country on the basis of 2- per cent of their aggregate de posits, or the legal limit of Invest ments, If that Is lower. These deposits aggregate *43,000, 000,000.. t Corporations and -private banking firms.ane expected to sub scribe for the debentures also and It Is possible that the total funds raised for tho corporation will approximate Jl,000,000,000. CHANCEtLOR BRUENINO of Ger many is now pra^ftftl)? the eco nomic/dictator of hlarcpunlry. He and President Voo Hindenbqfg are de termlned to save tbe relch from the Hitler ites, called Fascists, and the Communists. The aged president . announced t b at he /wAntd' hduept the chairmanship of an economic council which will assume dictatorship of the nation at least for the coming winter,, but Bruenlng will be the real boss, for the council. It Is eipectedV will work In close collaboration with him and his new cabinet. The council, as conceived by Ton HIndenburg, wlU be composed of rep resentatives of workers. Industrialists and bankers and will thus have the eptlre Industrial and commercial framework of the nation nnder Its control. Herr Bruening had already tried to bring Adolf Hitler to a realization of bis duty to Germany, calling him Into conference and laying before him the desperate situation. The chancellor then went before the reichstag and, boldly defying his political adversar ies, presented bis program Of eco nomies, sacrifices and discipline. Its outstanding points were: Continuation of the conciliation policy of 8trese mann; adoption of a plan for the re demption of the nation's short term In debtedness; the maintenance of wage agreements-between capital and labor, with adjustment to suit existing price levels; the maintenance of the gold standard, and the formation of steps to open the markets of the- world to German goods. ^ * .* THOMAS R. AMLIE, progressive Republican, was elected to con gress by the voters of the First Wis consin district to fill out the unex pired term of the late Henry Allen Cooper, mainstay of the pt Follette group In the house.

The governor was urged to name Mrs. Morrow by many ad visers, and A.

' \ITAIt to tbe knife broke out dur *" Ing the week between Gov. Huej P. Long of Louisiana and Lieut. Got. Paul N. Cyr. Though elected on the same ticket, tbe two men'hare been personal and political enemies, and Cyr has tried repeatedly to get 1-ong out of the office.

Goldhurst was colfvicted of using the malls to defraud, was , pent to Atlanta penitentiary In Oc tober, 1929,. and last July It was an nounced that he would be paroled on April 15, 1032. The Virginia senator said It was re potted that :a conference had been held between Goldhurst, Bishop Can non, and an unnamed New York poli tician, and ' that subsequently Gold hurst changed his plea of not guilty to one of guilty.

BURGESS BOWSER, THE HOUND, FINDS PETE* TIME was when Peter Rabbit looked on Bowser the Hound as a very dangerous enemy. But that was when Peter was young and knew less of the Great World. Also It was In the days before Farmer Brown's Boy had put away his terrible gun. Then the sound of Bowser's great voice sent a chill of fear over Peter, for he knew that un less be could fool Bowser's keen nose Bowser would surely lead Farmer Brown's Boy to where be was, and then?well, then there was that ter rible gun. But since Farmer Brown's Boy had put away his terrible gun and no longer hunted Peter and the other lit tie people of the Green Forest and tbe Green Meadows, the sound of Bow ser's great voice no longer sent shiv ers of fear chasing one another all over Peter. Truth to tell, Peter rath er enjoyed an occasional run with Bowser. It kept blm In good condl VBssnwa. I,.. lion. He felt that It was good for lilm. Peter especially enjoyed (nch runs In cold weather. They set his blood racing and made him feel warm and full of high spirits. He would run In circles and use simple tricks to mix bis trail up so that he could sit down and enjoy listening to Bowser's Impatient yelps as he tried to get the trail straightened out. It , was a kind of game which Peter en Joyed, and whltb he knew that Bow ser enjoyed. Then when Peter grew really tired he would simply skip Into the dear Old Brier Patch or the near est bramble-tangle or n hollow log, where Bowser couldn't follow hlra and not care the least bit that Bowser knew Just where he was. No. Peter was no longer the lestf. bit afraid of Bowser the Hound. So as he sat In the bramhle-tangle the morning after his narrow escape from Old Man Coyote, trying to think of some way to get back to the dear Old Brier Patch without glrlng Old Man Coyote a chance to catch him, he was not In the least hit frightened or troubled when he heard a rustling of feet among dead leaves, and peeping out saw Bowser himself sniffing and snuffing as he tried to (Ind the scent of some one to chase. He knew by the way that Bowser acted that his wonderful nose had found Just enough scent to tell him thst some one hsd been along that way. bat not enoagh for him to be sure which way the; hsd gone, for after t few hours scent disappears. Hunters aaj that It grows cold. So the scent left by Peter and Old Man Coyote In the night had grown cold. There was Just enough of It left In damp spots to tell Bowser that they bad been there, but not enough for him to get really excited about. Now Bowser la rcry patient, and be ran this way and that way sniffing tbe ground all over so that he would be able to find a trail fresh enough tor him to follow, tor Bowser was feeling Just like a good ran that morning, tlo presently he came to the old bramble tangle where Peter was hiding, and then a wandering Uttle Breeze brought . bltn the scent of Peter fresh and . strong. Instantly Bowser knew that ? Peter was somewhere In there, and right away he became very much ex cited. His tall began to wag as If be would wag It off. a way he has of do ing when he Is hunting. Peter almost laughed aloud as he watched. All around tbe edge of tbe old brnmble-taugle went Bowser, sniffing, snuffing, and whining as he looked In among the brambles trying to see Peter. And at Inst he did see him sit ting right In the middle. "Bow. wow, wow!" roared Bowser fiercely and tried to craw l In thrnogh the old bram- ? hies. But the old brambles scratched Bowser's tender ears and made him yelp, so that he was glad to back oot and try another place. "Bow. wow. wow r roared Bowser again. "Come out and ran. or I will come In and get your and he made himself look as fierce as be could. But Peter sat right where he was , and chuckled, lie knew that Bowser never could catch him In that oM brainble-tangle. and he wasn't the least bit frightened. In fact, be ta Joyed seeing Bowser try so hard to frighten him. Besides. It took 'bis mind off of the worry of bow he was going to get back to the dear Old Brier l"atch wlthoot falling Into 'tbe rlntches of Old Man Coyote, who.-ho knew was hiding somewhere along the ; way there. You see be had told Peter ? hat he never would get bock there again. iBSrJ G. Ltord-t?wxuasrrtsw. ? 11.. ==n^ For on Fail Coat* The new fall coats are richly trimmed with fur collars and cuffs.
