Anti-Japanese terriorism flared anew
today when a group of Chinese threw
bricks and Lotties through a plate
glass show-window of a Japanese
owned store just after 500 Japanese
Marines had disembarked here.
The Japanese landing party’s
strength reached more than 2.000 with
the arrival of the new force, although
Japanese navy officers asserted they
were merely replacements for an
equal number of blue-jackets who
will sail to Japan November 13.
The situation arising from the un
solved slaying of a Japanese Marine.
Hideo Nakayama, which, Japanese au
thorities said, was “serious”, was con
sidered to he increasingly threatening

Hundreds of persons saw the Chi
nese break the window of the store
at one of Shanghai’s busiest street cor
ners, but the perpetrate*, escaped
after scattering handbills emblazon
ed with the characters, “War on
Japan; Save China.”
The slain Nakayama was buried
with full naval honors.
Despite reassuring proclamations by
the Chinese authorities, the exodus of
Chinese from nearby Chapei to the
international settlement continued
although on a greatly reduced scale

LANDON IS HELPED
BY “NEW DEALERS"
Poking Fun at Him About
His Balanced Budget,
but It’s Balanced
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Nov. 11. —Republican
politicians, and some Democrats, are
saying that Governor Alfred M. Lan
don of Kansas should put the New
Deal’s spokesmen on his publicity
payroll.
As a possibility for the G. O. P.
presidential nomination it has been
obvious that what Landon needs is
national advertising.
The New Dealers are giving it to
him a-plenty.
It is favorable, too. though the New
Dealers do not intend it to be so.
They are rubbing in the idea that
the Kansan is very economical, that
he believes in keeping taxes down,
that he is a budget-balancer.
To be sure, they try to give the
impression that he has balanced the
Sunflower state’s budget by withhold
ing State relief from its own destitute
citizenry, thus throwing the whole re.
lief load upon the Federal govern
ment. This so obviously isn’t true,
however, (Kansas’ relief record hav
ing been a fairly' creditable one), that
the charge doesn’t carry an ounce of
conviction.
HOPKINS’ CHARGES
“Not one thin dime,” said Works
Progress Administra'or Harry L.
Hopkins, “has Kansas contributed to
ward relief; that’s how Landon has
balanced his budget.”
Thereupon it immediately was prov
ed that Kansas, by counties, though
not by State appropriation, has cor.-
