(By the Associated Press.)
From Tokyo and Shanghai came
simultaneous indications today that
90,000,000 people would soon find them
selves citizens of a new state virtually
independent of China.
The new state would consist of the
five provinces of China contiguous to
Manchukuo, the Manchurian empire
which Japan created in a military
campaign three years ago.
Japanese newspaper men in the
area reported to Tokyo that the dec
laration of independence would be
made by next Saturday.
The five provinces are Hopeh. Shan
tung, Shanshi, Chahrar and Sui-yuan.
Japanese sources contend that the
indicated edvelopment is a result of
dissatisfication among the Chinese
with the national government at
Nanking, and is a popular manifesta
tion of the people’s will.
Chinese government officials, on the
other hand, claim that the alternative
movement is a result of Japanese ma
chinations aimed at increasing Jap
an’s sphere of influence in the Far
East.
A spokesman for the Japanese Em
bassy at Shanghai said that, for their
part, the continuance of present con
ditions, referring to a resurgence of
anti-Japanese activities, were regard
ed by the Japanese as grave.
He said that Japanese troops were
massing at Shan-Haikuan, the city on
the Great Wall- but that they did not

Washington, Nov. 18. Every day it
becomes clearer how much next year’s
political prospects have been changed
by Senator Huey P. Long’s elimina
tion as a factor in the 1936 equation.
Virtually all impartial prognosti
cators now reckon that President
Roosevelt will have to be re-elected
by the country west of the Alleghe
nies and by the South. Most of them
agree that this may be by a tight
squeak, but most of them also agree
that the present White House tenant
will make it if the South slays solid.
And they generally think that it will,
but many doubts are expressed that
it would have done sq with the late

In front of the White House today on
Pennsylvania Avenue, with the an

President see an average American
family starve to death.
He advised newspaper offices In
advance of his determination to stay
there until he starved to death or
got a job.
The man gave his name as Lewis
Vinson Farrell, of Philadelphia. Ho
complained that he could not get a \
job until his navy record was cnang
ed. and could not get a hearing on
his record.
He said there was a “slanderous
statement’ ’in his record.
“I could get a job all right,” he said,
“if they would fix up that statement.”
Farrell and the family were un
noticed by many passing people and
sat calmly by the fence along the
avenue.

Benito Mussolini’s undeclared war

At midnight the program whereby
51 League members agreed to pre
vent importation of Italian goods and
to stop exporting certain raw mate

Italy, having already made prepa
rations to combat the penalties for its
invasion in East Africa, which the
League has termed “aggressive,” dis
played its “implacable resistance” to
the sanctions in a showing of banners
throughout the nation.
It had promised to treat other na
