# j Japan's Internal Politcs Back of "War" In Manchuria . ' ? . J- . ! o ?' ' ? 1 By Caleb To the average newspaper readei the situation In Manchuria, where Japanese and Chinese troops have been fighting for the last few weeks has been rather confusing. For thai matter, it has been confusing tc newspaper editors, because of the conflicting reports from the scene of action, and also because of the opposing points of view presented to the council of the League of Na tions by the Japanese and the Chi" nese respectively. The League has requested bott sides to cease hostilities until ax impartial investigation can be made and has called attention to the fact that under the Treaty of Ver sailles which both Japan and Chins signed they are obliged to submil their differences to the League be far engaging in war. Japan's reply 1s that It is not t war, but the defense of Japanese property i n Manchuria against raids by bandits, and by soldiers ol one of the two Chinese factions who are substantially bandits China contends that Japan Is try ing to seise territory to which the Island kingdom Is not entitled undei its treaty rights In Manchuria. The situation is of world-wide importance because it is the first real test of the strength of the League of Nations. Tf the League'; efforts to prevent a war should fall that will tend to w?Qcen the au thority of the League and greatlj impair its influence as a force foi world peace. On the other hand if the League succeeds in bringins about a cessation of hostilities, it! position will be greatly strengthen ed. This fighting in Manchuria is alse of particular Interest to the Unitee States, although we are not mem bers of the League. The Kellogi Peace Treaty, by which nation; agree to submit their difference; to the World Court originated it America. Under it our own Stat* Department has been trying on Iti own account directly to influena Japan and China to stop flghtint until the controversy can be arbi trated, and we have also delegate* representatives of the United State: to confer with the council of th< League. What complicates the matte: still further Is the apparent divisioi of Japanese public opinion on th< subject. There is a strong Militar ist Party In Japan, which main tains the old feudal traditions, anc which refuses to listen to an] counsels but its own. Japan, undei old. treaties with China, has definite ^rights in Manchuria, including con.sMprti.ble railroad mileage whlct is owned by Japan. To protect Japanese interests In the turbulent condition of North China, Japar has maintained a small army Ir Manchuria for several years, mucl as the United States maintained s force of marines in Nicaragua foi several years. And the situation ir China has very much resembled, th< situation in Nicaragua, because ol w two factions each claiming to be the actual government of China Both factions had been maintaining large armies in the field and large parts of these armies have degen erated Into mere banditry because of the Inability of either faction tc pay the aoldleis wages. There is no doubt that the little Japanese army ? In Manchuria found Itself in con- ( ' . stant hot water in maintaining a ; ] semblance of order In Japan's treaty ( , territory. When its position wx i ' not threatened by the so-called . ! Northern army under General Ma, . it was constantly being harassed by I the unorganised banditry. In the meantime back in Japan the differences between the two governmental factions, one of them i entirely in accord with the idea of) i co-operation" with the League of , Nations and opposed to war. and . the other entirely contemptuous of . the world's opinion and bent upon] i maintaining the ancient pride of t the Samurai, 05 military leaders of . the nation, were becoming acute. Hamaguchl, the veteran political 1 leader, had drafted Baron Kijuro : Shidehara into the foreign office, j t Shidehara is an idealistic states r man whose first act was to 'accept , the naval limitations declared on . by the London conference of 1930 . and whose next move was to pledge ? his government's support to the! r new Chinese Nationalist Govern ment, in order to Insure for Japan . her necessary supplies of Manchur t lan raw material, and to provide a > growing market for Japanese goods. j Leaders of the Militarist Party; t thought this was disgraceful. Sev- j . eral high navy officers committed f suicide. The army under General r Jiro Minami maintained that the only way to deal With China was to r seize such territory as Japan might ; want. Pubic opinion in Japan, led by opposing newspapers, was divided, , and bitterness reached a point 1 where, in November 1930 Premier . Hamaguchl was shot and seriously ; wounded. He survived, however, 5 until August 28th, of this year. , when he died from the effects of j that wound. At the same time a > Japanese officer in Manchuria was t killed by "Chinese soldiers. With > Hamagushi gone, this gave General ( Minami. the War Minister, his op . portunity. 1 Sepember 18, 1931, was election 5 day In Japan. On the morning of ; that day Baron Shidehara an nounced that he had negotiated r an agreement with the Chinese gov 1 ernment at Nanking for a joint : commission to examine and settle - Manchurian differences. This an - nouncement had an' enormous effect 1 upon the Japanese people, and by l noon of that day it was apparent r that the Militarist Party had been > overwhelmingly defeated at the ! ? polls. That night the Japanese ar 1 my in Manchuria seized several t towns and a part of the "railroad," l and. the armed conflict which has 1 been going on ever since, began. 1 This exploit, backed up by stories l sent back to Japan of the imminent 1 danger to the Japanese force in r Manchuria again swung public sen 1 timent toward the military, and ; forced the new Premier, Wakatsuki r and his government to back up the ; army. This accounts for Japan's . hesitancy to submit its differences t with China to international arbi- 1 ; 1 tration. In the eyes of a large pro- j - ' portion of the Japanese it Is a mat ! ter of domestic politics and a case i j of self-defense on the part of an V MONDAY AND Mn Innp Tuesday, dec A.

Hie Washington State De partment and the spokesmen for the League of Nations seem confi dent that the situation wil be clear ed up and actual war on any ex tensive scale will be averted. In any event, the Incident is another example of the danger of permit ting a ""militaristic group, whose only Interest is in war, to gain a' commanding position In politics. ^mary mars-hall ??>>> ?

Resolutions of Respect Our heart* were saddened In the parly morning of November 7th. : 1931, when the mesage came that Mrs. Woodson Thomas "Aunt Sal- ' lie" as we loved to call her, had passed Into the great beyond rather, suddenly. She had been a faithful and devout member of Roxboro First Baptist Church for twenty five years. Prom her early life she had been a true Christian and her | "deep love for her church and Its organizations was beautifully por trayed in her life. She wag always j. present at her Missionary Society meetings unless providentially hln- 1 dered. Always her kind hand flew to her pocket book when asked to help in benevolent work, with a benevolent (rift. She never refused to be on the program in society j meetings and what she had to say was always Interesting. Verily, we ' have Indeed lost one whose presence was a benediction. Therefore, be it resolved: First, that we the members of the Roxboro Tlrst Baptist church and MLwjjfiary Society have lost a most estimable and beloved member and o- worker. Saoond, thai we do recognise Jod* goodness to (paring her to ive among us these twenty-live 'ears at her church life. ThirjL that we rejoice in the pirlt of faithfulness to duty, pa ience and humility in service, loy ilty and unselfish devotion to her hurch and her loved ones in her tome as exemplified in the life of >ur devoted sister. Fourth, that while we miss her *dly, we bow submissively to the vin of the All Wise One, who never nakes mistakes. Fifth, that we extend to the be *avtd family our most sincere sym pathy, commending them to the oving care of our Father, and graying that the influence Of this loble life may live on in the lives >f these loved ones left behind. Sixth, that we present the family t copy of these resolutions, place a 'opy in the church records and in iur local pa,pers and in the Biblical Recorder for publication. Mrs. R. L. Wilburn, Mrs. C. T. Wilson, Mrs. Frank Hester, Committee. ?a Brazil has prohibited the impor ation of flour.
