JAPAN ANNOUNCES
 CHINESE POLICY
Formal Statement Opposes War
 in ManChuria

Tokio. May IS (UPD-Japan'S de- termination to prevent the extension of the Chinese civil war 10 Man. churia was announced officially to- day.
 The government instructed its minister at Picking and its consul general at Shanghai to deliver to Chang Tso-Lin, northern leader, and Huang Flu. nationalist foreign min- ister, memorandum that Japan possibly may be constrained to take appropriate and effective steps to maintain peace and order in Man. churia."
 The announcement is regarded as foreshadowing full Japanese inter- vention in the civil war in the event that nationalists take Tientsin and Picking, the northern capital, and try to pursue Chang Tso-Lin's troops Inorthward toward Manchuria. The vice minister Of war had told the United Press yesterday that Japan would not tolerate fighting in Manchura, and would prevent it forcibly if necessary.
 The memorandum announced to- day expressed the hope that the civil war disturbances would be terminated as soon as possible. "However," 1t added, the dis turbances threaten to spread to Picking and Tientsin districts. and it is feared that Manchuria also may be affected.
 'The Japanese government at taches the utmost importance to the maintenance of peace in Manchuria.
 If the situation threatens that peace, Japan may take effective steps to preserve it.
 Tt must be noted. however. that Japan's policy of strict neutrality between the contending forces re- mains unchanged. If the above mentioned measure becomes impera- tive, Japan will exercise due care to prevent unfair consequences to either of the opposing parties''- (the northerners and nationalists. )

 specialties, however, responded to 1 pool manipulation and established l new peaks. Among these were St
 Joseph's Lead and International 1 Harvester.

Weeks shat tered Vermont precedent by an- nouncing himself as candidate for renomination by the republicans at the September primary. Today Stanley c. Wilson of Chelsea, the only person who has been promi- nently mentioned as a probable candidate to succeed Governor Weeks, announced that he would seek the nomination for lieutenant governor.
 It ha. been unwritten law that governors should he chosen alter nately from the sections east and west of the long Green mountain range which divides the state from the Canadian border to the Massa- chusetts line. Nomination by the republican party always has been equivalent to election to the office of governor in Vermont.
