BRITONS WILL STIFFEN STAND TOWARD JAPAN Say U. S. and England Will Show Joint Diplomatic Front in Asia By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Nov. 10. (UP)—Bri tain has stiffened her policy to-, wards Japan and in the immediate future may be expected to oppose actively Japanese plans to domi nate all China, diplomats believed today. 1. Information that Britain and the United States have agreed to follow parallel diplomatic action1 "to protect their shipping in the Yangtse river against Japanese in-1 terferer.ce." 2. A statement in the house of commons by Richard A. Butler, parliamentary under-secretary for foreign affairs, that the govern ment will not consider any alter ation of its position as laid down in the Washington treaties, which include the nine-powers agreement designed to guarantee China's ter ritorial integrity, and other inter national commitments. Immediate cause of the strong British attitude was believed to be the Japanese declaration of last week in which Tokyo announced that henceforth the world must recognize that Japan is the domi nant power in East Asia and must cooperate with her for prosperous and stable conditions. The Japanese statement follow-1 ing long conversations between Sir Alexander L. Craigie, British ambassador in Tokyo, and the Japanese government, was design-; ; ed to establish a basis for a broad | (Continued on page three) DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES IN COUNTY GIVEN LARGER MAJORITIES BY CANVASSERS A.

CATS READY I FOR BREVARD i j I Long Football Rivalry Will j Be Renewed Here Friday at 3 P. M. Hendersonville High School's I | Bearcats will meet the Brevard j High Blhe Devils here Friday in ! a renewal of one of the oldest football rivalries in Western North Carolina. The game will be one of the highlights of Hender- | sonville's Armistice day celebra-1 tion The kickoff will be at 3 1 o'clock. Year after year these two teams have met on alternating gridirons near the end of the pig skin season. The scores have been varied, as have outcomes, but| nearly always a good game has been played. In 1935 the Bearcats suffered an 18-6 defeat at the hands of Brevard in a tense struggle. In '36 the Cats avenged themselves by piling up a lopsided score of 33 to 0, and last year the Cats were defeated in the Transylvania county town, 12 to 0 Compara tive scores give the locals only a | ' slight edge this year. Brevard, local football fans 1 agree, will give the Bearcats a real struggle and it will take the i spirit shown in the past games to bring victory to Hendersonville.

(UP)— Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, asserting that Tuesday's elections were "a decided setback" to pro gressive forces, said last night that he would invite progressive leaders to a conference in Wash ington next week to tighten their lines. He said he would invite Sena tor Robert M. LaFollette of Wis consin, Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan, and others. "You have a situation of sup porters of progressive, humane, economic welfare legislation be ing opposed by the old line par ties," he said. "You have candi dates in the Democratic party who are not sympathetic with progressive legislation, and you have progressive candidates in the Republican party who do not agree with the control and man agement of the party, and the re sult is an increased strength to the forces of reaction. "That means but one thing—I that the progressive forces in tnis ! country have got to ect together, j It also means that labor must ad- j just its differences, and it also I means that there must be a well defined, clear, concise progres sive program. "As the matter now stands, it is a little too loose." La Guardia said he was pleased with the election results in New York state and described the sit uation nationally as "disappoint ing but not discouraging if the progressives get together and join forces." The mayor nodded his head in assent when he was asked if he considered the election results a "black eye for the New Deal," then added: "But I don't think it's irrepa rable. I think the house and sen ate will give the president his leg islation. I think pressure from: home will demand it. There is a safe working majority, provided f there is cohesion between the sen ate and house." 1 MUST VEER TO CONSOLIDATE AFTER LOSSES Said to Remain Strongest Man in Party Despite Tuesday's Setback MANY CONGRESSIONAL SEATS STILL IN DOUBT NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (UP)—• The abrupt national swing toward the Republican party in Tuesday's election gave President Roosevelt good ground either to close his ranks with the left wingers or to ally with conservative Democrat* for the 1040 presidential cam* paign. The general election cut down promising administration political timber. It left the president PtiU more emphatically the strongest man in sight to head a 100 per cent New Deal ticket in 1040. Stocks rose and business appar* ently was reassured by Republic can victories. Left wing leaders Immediately saw danger of a divided houso and set about for consolidation efforts. At New York, Mayor LaGuar dia, Fusion leader and American Labor Party statesman summoned outstanding Progressive leaders to meet in Washington nuxt we«k. His object is coalition. Former President Herbert Hoo ver raised the conservative coali tion flag and called upon conserv ative Democrats to join Republi cans to stop the New Deal. REPUBLICANS TURN BACK NEW DEAL Br ARTHUR F. D.GREVE The Republican party turned back the 6-year New Deal tide in Tues day's general elections, and today again was a major political fore* capable of giving Democrats a l.ot fight for the presidency in l'J40. Although the Republicans cap tured important political posts in many strategic states as the na tion swung to the right of the New Deal, Democrats retained control of both houses of congress and possession of more than one-half of the 48 gubernatorial posts. Virtually complete reports from the off-year election presented this picture: Republicans won eight addition al senate seats and their candi date was leading in a neck-and neck race in Indiana. In Iowa, the hotly contested senate race ap peared settled last night with the re-election of Guy M. Gillette. A total of 162 Republicans had been elected to the house at 4 *0 p. ra. This was a gain of 74 seats and 29 contests still were in doubt. Republicans made a net gain of 11 gubernatorial seats. President Roosevelt received the news of the Republican triumphs in silence at his Hyde Park, N. Y., home. . _ , , Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National commit tee conceded that Republican gains exceeded his expectations, but he insisted that the country still i« "strongly behind the hu manitarian policies of President Roosevelt." He said the defeat of Democrats in Connecticut, Rhode* Island and 4 Nebraska should be attributed chiefly to local isues and that Democratic victims in Obio, Ore gon, Massachusetts and P»!nnsyi vania resulted from failure to he il intraparty strife.
