Berlin, July 22.—(AP) —Fresh bans
against Catholic youth organizations
were issued in the Palatinate today,
with indications that similar restric
tions may soon be expected through
out Germany.
The full machinery of the Nazi
press was invoked .in a general fight
against political Catholicism and
Jewry, with both Catholic organic
zations and Jews included in the term
“reactionaries.”
Reichfuehrer Hitler’s newspaper
ranked political Catholicism as “pub.
lie enemy No. 1,” while Nazis anta
gonism against the Jews was display
ed at an increased heat.
From the Palatinate came word
that Catholic youth organizzations
can no longer wear their distinctive
garb in public and maj: not display
flags and emblems. They. also were
forbidden all athletic activities as an
organization.
It appeared but a question of time
when all Nazi district leaders through
out the Reich will have issued the
same bans on Catholic youth organ
izations.

London, July 22 (AP)—Sir Bolton
Eyers-Nonsell, first lord of the ad
miralty, told the House of Commons
today that England was definitely
abandoning the principle of naval ra
tios adopted in 1922 at Washington.
He declared Great Britain’s new
policy had been adopted because some
inations felt it wounded their na
tional pride to accept permanent in
feriority.
(Under the Washington treaty of
1922, later supplemented by the Lon
don treaty of 1930. the naval tonnage
ratios of the leading powers were es
tablished at five tor Great Britain, to
five for the United States, to th'fse
for Japan, the famous 5-5-3 ratio, tlje
navies or France and tlaly, on the
same basis, receiving a rating of 1-5
each.
| Sir Bolton explained that other
means are being sought to accom
-1 plish the same result of naval limita
tions. They would be based upon a
system of naval programs, which by
agreement would accommodate the
various naval strengths in such a
way as to provide adequate navies for
defense, while attempting to elimi
nate navies for offensive purposes.

velt forces sought today to discourage
a drive announced by Senator Borah,
Republican, Idaho, to attach the Pat

tion’s tax legislation.
Confronted by Borah’s assertion
that infationary members would hold
Congress in session until November
1, Senator Robinson, the Democratic
leader, expressed belief that adjourn
ment should be reached by August 15.
Robinson said the bonus and farm

that he did not see how they could

Rome I Yess
Very Violent
Against Japs
Italian Papers Appa
rently Ordered Of
ficially To Attack
Tokyo’s Attitude
Rome, July 22—(AP)—The Italian
press, apparently by general order,
printed violent attacks against Japan
today, using phraseology not unlik#
that emplo\/d against England a few
weeks ago and against Germany last
year.
The basis for the attacks was an
alleged dirnsimilarity between state
ments made to the Italian foreign of.
fice by Ambassador Sigimura of Jap
an concerning Ethiopia and by a Jap
enese foreign office spokesman.
The Japanese Embassy cabled long
extracts from these press comments
to Tokyo, and well informed sources
said they were convincde that the
bitter tone of the editorials was cer
tain to elicit a diplomatic protest from
the Japenese.
It was suggested here that the in
cident was an accident arising from
a Japanese gunboat’s target practice
upon Tung Ting lake. The Japanese
naval patrol boats which go on the
Yangtze river frequently indulge in
this practice, but hitherto they have
always done their shooting farther
from Yoochow. However, the mis
sionaries involved in the incident were
skeptical of this explanation for the
unprecedented performance.
