SHANGHAI, July IL. U,H-Man-
churia continued to assume complete
control. of the Chinese Eastern Rail
way today in spite of the Soviet
ultima;um to the Mukarn and Nank
ing governments, according to re-
ports reaching here from Iiarbin.
The reports added the Chinese
were proceeding with the ousting of
all Soviet officials from their posts
in the railway organization, inelud-
ing the southern section of the line.
The western branch. the reports
stated, was being patroiled by
Chinese troops in armorcd ears.
At the same time it was learned
that in spite of the three day time
limit which Russia has placed upon
its ultlimatum, the Chinese govern
mcnt probably will make no reply
until Friday.
The government of China careful
ly displayed a placid attitude re
garding the Russian ultimatum.
Most of the foreign observers re-
gard the situation with far more
seriousness than does Marking, They
believe the Nationalist government
is placing too much false reliance IN
the supposed Japanese opposition TO
any Soviet action in Manchuria, re-
gardless of what the provocatlon
may be.
TOXIC, July l6.W.P-Chlna Is
seizure of the Eastern Railway IN
Manchura was condemned III the
Toxic press today as unjust, imprac-
teal and as threat to the japanese
controlled South Manchuria Rail
way.
While admitting the justice OF
China's charges that the Chinese
Eastern Railway had become a vir-
tual organ Of Communist propagan-
da in Manchuria, the newspapers
here were of the opinion that the
Nanking and Muken governments
acted unwisely in seizing the line
and that by doing so they were
certain to damage China s prestige
in international credit.
The Japanese government assumed
an attitude Of watchful waiting IN
connection with the Russo'China
dispute.

MexicO's Troubles
Blamed Upon Army

From the Oakland Tribune.
With the revolt apparently crushed.
Mexico takes stock OF the losses and
listens to advice how to prevent new
and larger revolutions.
Millions of dollars have been stolen
from banks and cities occupied for brief
spells by the rebels. Leaders of the
revolt are dead have fed to the United
States, or are hiding In the mountains.
The government Is concerned with
what has taken place to its once proud
military machine. Possessing equip
ment second to none, q military college
which is often cited as a model, and
huge force of armed men, the Mexican
government, theoretically, should have
been ready to put down a revolution at
moments notice. Unfortunately.
leadership in the revolt came from the
army, as 1t almost invariably does in
Mexican upriSingS.
The army needs attention. 1t is or
ganized to create trouble, in that it Is
top-heavy with generals and honey
combed with politics. Personal ambi-
lions among military men have been
responsible for the loss of lives and
money. How it will be possible in
country of unsettled conditions to de-
mobilize the bulk of the army, reor-
ganize what is left as q state conStabu-
larry, and reduce the proportion of offi-
GERS to men in the ranks without invit-
ing attack is the large problem to be
faced, and yet it is admitted that out
OF the present military system have
come most Of the nations troubles.

Senator Brookhart's Charges.

The serious nature of the charges
contained in Senator Brookhart's reso-
luton for an inquiry into real estate
financing operations in the District
should lead TO its adoption, II for no
other reason than that the broad gen
dictment should be swept away or re-
duced to specifications. II there are
specifications, they should, OF course,
be made available to the proper legal
authorities for whatever action is pos
Sible. The many real estate firms in
Washington, whose reputation for hon.
est dealing has been established through
the years and whose names stand as
hsll-marks in the community, cannot
deservedly be placed under cloud
through the allegedly shady tranSac-
lions of a few. 1t is as important that
they be given unquestioned vindication
as it is necessary that transgreSsOrs be
brought to book.
Through actions in the past the Sem
ate has unfortunately established a
reputation for smbarkihg on fishing
expeditions" with the general hope Of
bringing something up. but with
nothing definite in mind. In the
process honest men may become the
victims of insinuation and innuendo,
with their inquisitors responsible to no
one for the conclusions they draw or
the statements they make. For this
reason . congressional investigation Is
not apt TO be greeted with open arms
or unhounded enthusiasm by those TO
be included within its scope. But II
Senator Brookhart can substantiate his
charges, and II the real estate fra
ternity knows that truth lies behind
them, these men should be the first to
support the Senator In his effort to
bring out the truth and sift it free Of
unhealthy conjecture and unfounded
suspicion.
