Enter Into
Real Fight
(By The Associated Press)
The graph of campaign excitement
began to soar today as the contenders
summoned up all their energies for
the strenuous October days just
ahead.
With less than five weeks to go be
fore the election November 3, speech
es, statements and arguments multi
plied. The preliminary sparring was
over, the earnest fighting had com
nu need.
Conflict over such topics as com
munism, social security and civil ser
vice drew the attention of voters to
day, with clashes on many other sub
jects sure to follow.
President Roosevelt came back to
Washington from Syracuse, N. Y.,
where he said opponents were em
ploying a “red herring” and a “false
issue” when they charged that com

By CHARLES P. STEWART

Washington, Sept. 30. —The Far
East is giving th State Department
some relief from its worries over the
situation in Spain—by providing it
with ail even more immediately threa
tening situation to worry about in the
Orient.
Europe may flare up any day but
the United States doubtless will be
able to keep out of that conflagration,
for a while, anyway.
If Japan and China become involv

Uncle Sam hartly can escape having

on the last time the Japanese and
Chinese were exchanging shot and
shell at Shanghai a year or two ago.
WHY U. S. IS INVOLVED
The trouble with Shanghai and
other Chinese “treaty ports,” as they
are called, is that, although in China,
they are not under Chinese but for
eign control.
Shanghai, in particular, is interna
tional, with the United States as one
