Sees Japanese In War Of Conquest Mumow Paper Carries Dispatches Throwing Light On Far East Conflict. Sew York —A Moscow dispatch to the New York Times ■ e.j; That Japan hits now embarked on a regular war of conquest against China is the view gradually" forcing itself upon Moscow's conviction. Opinions vary about the reasons that have prompted Japan to engage In a gigantic adventure which en tails grave risks of friction with other great powers, but that she in tend?. to take all the risks Is no long er doubted here. | Pravda today leatUies * report from Tokyo that a spokesman of the Japanese foreign office declared that Japan could not accept the proposal of the powers to desist from mobili zation. It also features a report from Lon don headed "The Franco-Japanese Military Alliance" and other dis patches stating that Japan has bought French support with lavish orders to steel and munition con cerns. that France has lent Japan 800.000.000 yen tabout $'180,000.000 at | the present rate of exchange > and ' that the Skoda works ir. Czecho slovakia, France’s ally, are working triple shifts on Japanese orders. The reasons given here for the Japanese action are twofold. First, it is said, {apan originally intended a rapid and comparatively peaceful seizure of Manchuria for economic reasons, but as a result ot unexpect ed opposition and popular excite ment the military clique in Japan got the uper hand and business cir cles in Japan were simultaneously alarmed by the spread ol the anti Japanese boycott in the rest of China. In a sense, therefore, according to this reasoning. Japan found that she had got "the Chines, bull by the tail" and the military leaders could think of nothing better than to use force, ieadtng to the pre.-ent devel opments I The second reason i.nen here which is more appropriate to Com* munist thought, is that Japan's eco nomic situation has be°r. getting steadily worse until the ruling class saw that the progressive ‘'demorali zation" of the peasant snd working masses due to the depression would submerge them in a flood of revolu tion unless decisive measures were taken Accordingly, this line of reasoning holds, they decided to stake the fate of the whole nation on a desperate throw for "imperialistic victory" iri China. They counted on the preoc cupation and weak leadership of the Western powers, it is thought here, no less than on the support of France, whether tacit or assured by a secret agreement. ' On previous occasions ^pan has been forced by the Western power^ to disgorge spoils won by force. This time, the Russians hold Japan is determined to grab eveiythtng in sight—or make sure of grabbing it —with the idea that whatever the Western powers do or however much she disgorges in ^agreement with them or under their pressure she Will nevertheless retain the lion's share STAR ADVS PAYS Loy Thinks Shelby May Yet Sell Out City Light Plant Doe* Not Believe in Public Opera tions of Enterprise Gives Same Views. ‘To The Editor: Just another word about selling the city light plant. The writer ol i this article has ahead.. expressed his views on the matte, of selling the light plant, but h«a just a few : parting words which he wishes to sdy. He has read the many opinions which tiave been expressed, both pro and con m?d still thinks the city should sell. In selling, we would be doing exactly what nearly all oi our North Carolina tow 114. and cit ies have already done The writer formerly lived in a town almost ex actly the same size or Shelby and ' he saw the town struggle along for ■ a number of years trying to oper ate It* own plant and iinally gave | it up. He believed that this will ; eventually occur in Shelby. But the people do not seem to be ready for it Just now. The writer contends tnat the U 1 S. government, the state govern iment and city governments have .never proved to be good business | concerns, it is an old adage that 1 "what is everybody's business is no l body's business." One example will I suffice: The state of North Caro I lina still owns many miles of. rail I road. Does she operate them? Why idoes she not? Well. Just go back j and study a little North Carolina ! history, and you will snow Some one asks, why does the S iP. U. want to buy the Shelby plant? Everybody knows why. They know they can make a profit on their in vestment. Their linos are all around Shelby and they own the power Would the Carolina Light and Power company, o” any other l power company care ‘ > buy? That is a different matter. The writer still contends that if the city would sell its nlant. pay off its bonded indebtedness and boast of being out of debt, this would be a drawing card for outside indus tries. Any business mar or corpor ation seeking a new location will certainly want to know about the bonded indebtedness of the town be fore locating. In otlie" words, the i town must show1 a low tax rate. The writer reliably informed 1 that a number of prospectors have visited Shelby, looked the situation (over, and without exception have moved on to another town The writer contends that. In hold ing on to our light plant, we are as badly behind the other towns in this section as we are in the matter of a high school »No. he is not ad vocating the building of a high school just now). The writer further contends that /when an individual or a town has something that somebody wants to buy tt is usually a good time to sell. \s it not reasonable to believe that there will be considerable deprecia tion of the light plant along with real estate and almost everything 1 else? Also, is it not reasonable to believe that any company or indi vidual who would consider buying will consider the condition of the equipment; and. if there is not a good deal more spent on the upkeep of the plant within the next few years than lias been r»cently, there Will be years when the plant will , show a loss instead of & gain? We are wondering how many peo ple have taken Into consideration the fact that the proposed sale of the plant does not carry with it an exclusive franchise? In other words, if the city of Shelby should become dissatisfied with the sort of deal it gets from the purchasing company : there is nothing connecteo with the sale that would prevent the city's building a steam plant, of going out , on Broad river and building a hy ! dro-electric plant. fVe arc wondering, also if the av erage resident of Shelby realizes j that this profit that has accrued from operating the plant Is due to the fact that he is paying a higher rate for his current than Is being i paid in towns served by the S. P. U ? Well, investigate fully, and see if I this is not true. In conclusion, the writer wishes to say that he has simply expressed his own views and not those of an other. He does not say sell to the S. P. U. But he still contends that 1 we should sell to the individual or corporation that will pay the high est price for the plan* H. M Loy. Poultry Shipments Large In Rutherford Rutherfordton. Peb.

Ilavr thiikrn Stew B> Robert Phtlbeek 1 The past mouth has been a busy one with the Young Tar Heel Farm • rs of the Polkville chapter. On the 20th of the month a large :roup of boys went to a banquet at ! Charlotte, given for the boys that • ever aged 500 lbs lint cotton per acre fo: the last year’s crop. They heard the governor oi Oklahoma, : Alfalfa Bill,” make a talk on *'Vo | rational Agriculture in Schools." jThey were entertained by C. O. j Kuester. and several otner Interest iing speakers. The boys that attend i rd the banquet this year said the ] treat was well worth working for. Another thing that has stifnu | luted the interest in otr club was a chicken stew, given by the club, near I the school building. It was a get-to gether meeting of we boys; it was I the outstanding social event of the j season. The purpose of the stew was two fold; it was to stimulate In terest in the club and :c furnish us a good, clean social. Among the j tire other things that made It a | success was the music and singing llurnished by a couple of club boys | Glenn Jenkins and James Turner. i lie generosity oi Mr. in.

Feb. 15.—A new enter- j prise for Sunshine is a tanyard own i ed and operated by C N. Lane. It is located just one mile west of Sun shine. The farmers in that section of the county are having their cow hides tanned instead of selling them at such low prices The Type Sheriff! We Need (To the Editor; ) I was glad to read in Friday's Star that Sheriff Allen is to ’oe a candi date again. He has made us a good officer, one of the best we have ever had and I think a lot of peo ple over Cleveland county will be happy to vote for him once more as he says this will be his last term. Sheriff Allen came in office to succeed an unusually good sheriff, Hugh Logan, but he has carried on where Sheriff Logan left off in a way that has made him new friends. His best asset, as his record shows, is his detective ability. The thieves and criminals are a slick lot these days and hard to catch up with, and 1 believe almost everyone will agree with me that he has few betters in getting to the bottom ol robberies, etc. He doesn’t say much, but he is on the Job and he usually gets his man. There s one other thing about him that is particularly admirable now as we finish reading about a tragic affair in which a sheriff was killed during a drinking party in this State. He sticks to his oath in en forcing the prohibition law. No cap tured liquor ever goes Oilt of his of fice for a party, or for "medicine" or anything else. Even the people who do not believe in prohibition admire a man who slicks to his oath like that. When we have a mail like that, a man big and little can depend on, In office it is best to keep him for the one more term he asks to serve And if you’ll listen to the folks talk out over the county, you’ll soon learn that they mean to put him back for another time—and this year the people are going to vote their minds. The politicians know that and are listening on the mum how the people feel about it. • Signed:) T. C. Eskridge • Political Advertisement.)
