Comdr, Ellyson was the first naval
air pilot TO be commissioned and was
noted as one of the country's foremost

likewise noted for their efficiency. This
reputation caused naval authorities
from the first TO believe that tho plane
had crashed since the aviators were well
acquainted with the route To Annapolis
The radiogram, by which identitica-

PREMIER ISSUES WARMING.
Injurious Foreign Ideas Should Be
Combated. Says Statement.

TOXIC, April IL Rp.-The premier
todav issued a statement expressing re-
Rret for the grave episodes OF recent days
in which many Communists were placed
under arrest and a widespread move
ment was disclosed to change the social
order in Japan. The premier express
ed his readiness to accept personal re-
sponsibility, especially in connection
with the exposure OF Communist IN
trigueS.
In his statement he warns the nation
to guard against injurious foreign ideas
and doctrines. Capitalists and mem-
bers of the noble class especially are
asked TO exert greater efforts Tor the
coordination of labor and capital, and
the promotion Of social collaboration.
The yernacular newspapers, includ"
ing the opposition organ Hochi were
unanimous today in approving the gov
ernment's proceedings against the Com
nunists for their intrigue against the
existing social order. and also applauded
the suppression of the Ronoto political
organization.
Want Stronger Action.
The papers considered that wholesale
arrests we're not sufficient remedy.
They pointed out that the elimination
of social evils giving rise to intrigues
was needed to prevent the growth and
spread of pernicious doctrine. They
urged the government not TO be satisfied
until this was achieved.
An indication that the roundup of
extremists had increased the prospects
of the government weathering the COM
ing Diet was seen in the opening quota
tions on the Toxic Stock Exchange. An
advance of 1.80 yen tabout 86 cents)
was registered and the shares In gen.
eral showed firmer tone.
The vernacular newspapers have pub
lished rumors that funds from Moscow
were distributed among the Communists
through an American branch bank In
Kobe. but this could not be confirmed.

the ultimate destination OF funds check

Leaders Trained In Russia.
The strength of the Communist
movement in Japan is attributed In
part TO the return from Russia last
year OF leaders trained in fighting
methods by the leaders OF the Third
International"
The leaders of the Seiyu-Kai, the
government party hint at further sup
preston, saying that the government
will not be satisfied until Communism

ton, consider that the government
