FIVE CENTS TERMS JAPANESE- CHINESE SITUATION GRAVE ACCIDENT Will Serve Again as Commissioner iXAX LISTERS FOR if People Want Him, Says Currie^ ‘'’pence Also W'aitinij to Hear from Supporters Itefore An nouncing For Legislature Rev. F, Craiffhill Krown Given Ki- wanis Club New Picture of Japanese Invasion IN CHINA AGAINST WILL In a talk before the Kiwanis Club on Wednesday the Rev. F. CraiKhill Brown, rector of the Emmanuel Kpis- copal Church in Southern Pines spread ntw light upon the Japanese-Chinese tituation which fave the many of those present both sides of the pic ture for the first time. Br. Brown lived for some time in China and spent two years in Shanghai, and has been following with a keen under standing of conditions in the far East the recent warlike developments there. The trouble all started, he said, when a new government in Manchur ia turned against Japan about four years ago. Japan had been attempting as amicably as possible, to cultivate Manchuria, needing many of the raw materials available there and had gone far in its efforts when the change of government occurred. Since around 192S she has had difficulty in pur suing her policy of friendliness peace fully. It has been necessary to main tain a military force there to assure the peacefully carrying on of those projects in which Japan has heav ily invested. Her efforts to keep the peace led to sparks, which grew to conflaj^ratians. P'actions in China rose up and demanded a boycott of Japanese goods, and Japan’s entry into China proper was purely to stop the boycott. Against Their \VII1 Mr. Brown believes Japan thought the a]ipearance of a small force in Shanghai vvo|i Ijd mean the end of the boycott, and as a matter of fact, the mayor of Shanghai did accede to Jajianese demands. But the powerful boycott committees of merchanvs, which have formeil into associations, would not uphold the mayor, and mil itary resistance resulted. This resist ance forced further warfare on the part of the Japanese, against their will. And now there is no telling where it will end. “It has all been a grave error, but an accitlental one,” Mr. Brown said. He hi- of the opinion that a parallel is. found in the Nicaraguan situation when U. S. Marines entered Nicara gua, and that under similar circum- fctances believes the United States might have done the same thing in Mexico that Japan has done in China. At Wednesday’s meetintr. held in the Civic ('hib in Southei'ii Pines, Dr. ?yming:ton, county health officer, told the K iwanians of plans for greater use of milk throughout the section and asked foi' their sui>))ort in fur therance of the State-wide campaign which is now being waged. He made the statement that close to one-sixth of the population of North Carolina is not using milk at all, to the detri ment of their own health and to the economic disadvantage of the dairy industry. By Bion II. Butler Been nosing around again asking folks about politics. Saw Wilbur Cur- ! rie in Carthage Wednesday. Isn’t , j crazy about being commissioner again, j Says if the people want him to serve j another term he will make the run. I H they don’t he will not enter into any j contest. Ml'. Currie’s attitude is that oi other busy men who have affairs ; of their own to look after and he is I t ot hunting for a job that pays fifty dollars a year and entails an enor mous amount of work and responsibil ity. One thing the present board chair man emphasized is that if he should be retained in the office he will con tinue his efforts to install economy in county affairs. His opinion is that while the practice of economy has been followed in the last few months to such extent that some folks have comyilained that 'the commissioners have been holding things down too Interesting •tight, we are to see further retrench- I ments as the days go by. And if he ! should be reelected he will certainly try to relieve the taxj)ayers to the fullest extent possible. SHERIFF C. .1.
