Washington, Oct. J 2 (AP)- -White
Hon c officials said today President
Roosevelt had already started confex

fer with them from time to time.
tu.st. how the plan will work out will
depend on the ideas developed at these

dicting their conflicts of opinion and
interests.”
It was also stated on behalf of the
President that the plan was not de
signed as a short cut to collective bar

Washington, Oct. 2 (AP) Briga
dier General William Mitchell, retir
ed, told the President’s Aviation Com
mission today tluit “our most danger
ous enemy is Japan, and our planes
should be designed to attack Japan."
Mitchell, who earlier had said 50
dirigibles could destroy Japan within
two days if war broke out with the
United States, said the United States
should develop planes with a cruising
range of from 6.000 to 8,000 miles.
He said Russia possessed planes
with a. radius of 3.500 miles which
could he used either against Japan or
western Europe.
The utspoken advocate of a unified
air service called the national advis
ory committee for aeronautics a “po
litical organization.” He agreed that
the committee had done useful work,
but told the commission that one of
the reasons he criticized it was be
cause of its opposition to a unified
service.

Tokyo, Oct. 2 (AP) —An official
army pamphlet which urged Japan to
make ready for a possible war with
Russia spread uneasiness among the
nation’s economic leaders today,
'This was reflected on the stock ex
change. Leading shares declined on
an average of about two yen (about 60
cents).
Newspapers said members of the
cabinet, as wel as civilians, were
taken back by the army’s surprising
manifesto, which proposed drastic
changes in the nation’s economic life
and in non-military government de
partments.
It asserted that the United State 3
has three airplanes to Japan’s one,

er than this country’s in order to sup
port vigorous policies toward the
Orient.
Newspapers asserted General Fung
ero Hayasi, minister of war, would
be questioned at the next cabinet
meeting about responsibility ft- author
ship of the pamphlet. Political writ
ers predicted that the statement would
be a grave issue at the impending spe
cail session of the diet.
A war office spokesman, asked if
the pamphlet was approved by Gen
eral Hayashi, who is now traveling in
Western Japan, declined to reply, but
said. “I can state that the pamphlet
expresses the views of the Japanese
army.”
The pamphlet said the strength of
the Japanese army prevented the S»>-
viet from interfering with the power
of the Japanese navy, and “made fu
tile the threat of HenEy L. Stimson,
former United States secretary of
State.’
In this connection it referred to al
