ANOTHER ATTACK EXPECTED
Nah Chang Shan and japanese Both
Prepare for Fight in Bridge Area.

HARDIN, Manchuria, November 10
P).-A new japanese attack upon the
Chinese forces under Gen. Nah Chang
Shan, in the area between the Nonni
River bridge and Anganchi, is being
planned, reports reaching here today
said.
The attack would probably take place
some distance to the north of the loca-
armies over the bridgehead, it was be-
lieved Gen. Nah retired with his army
during the former attack and there
were reports his strategy was to draw
the japanese up near the territory that
falls within the influence OF the Rus
sian Soviet government.
In the meantime the japanese troops
have withdrawn TO a position miles
south of the bridge, it was said, but il
was believed they were massing there
and asSimilating re-enforcements for a
fresh attack.
It was from his present position north
of the bridgehead that Gen. Nah was
reported yesterday to have issued j
formal declaration of war against
Japan.
There were also reports that he had
urged Chang R3ueh LANG, former gov
ernor of Manchurla, to mobilize troop;
at Kirin to re-enforce the Heliungkianf
army against possible japanese at
tack.
There was no word from the Nankin,
government, however, indicating it hat
anything to do with the generals wa
declaration and the report that 1t wa:
made was denied IN Toxic.

in what Is going on in the Far East.
The cardinal features of our policy are:
% The maintenance of the integrity
of the Chinese territory, which IS guar
anteed by several pacts of which the
United States and the japanese are sig
natory.
o. The matter of the policy Of
equal opportunities in China, generally
known as the open door policy" The
United States, like the other powers, are
interested in the fact that all nations
should have an equal chance of trading
with China.
Hitherto the japanese activities In
regions where they have the upper hand
have not convinced either the United
States nor any of the other powers that
they are willing to give other nationals
fair deal. AS a rule wherever Jap
anese are in control Japanese will and
japanese way must prevail. The Amer
lean Government, since the days OF
Secretary John Hay. has been pledged
to this open door policy and there is
no indication that the present admin
istration has in any way changed its
views on this subject.
so The respect of treaties. At the
present time when the world is in a
turmoil, when the danger of trouble
is greater than it has been for many
years, when the efforts of the PreSi-
dent of the United States and of the
American people is to get nations to
disarm on the grounds that there are
enough treaties to guarantee their ma
tional and territorial integrity, Japan's
disregard for these treaties comes as a
heavy blow. 1t is on account of these
three cardinal points of our policy that
the United States takes such a serious
view of the present Japanese-Chinese
conflict and insists that it must be
settled by peaceful means.

It was believed the field gun was

the tempo Of its laundering increased
and there was a conviction that con-

would bring a battle, with possibly a
Japanese invasion and occupation of the
city.
The japanese had relaxed none of
their precautions about the concession
this morning and all foreigners ventur-
ing within were closely questioned by

pessimism was strongly reflected
Wednesday in the agricultural de-

farm situation.
The review said that with regard to
the principal cash crops, wheat, cot
ton, tobacco and potatoes, the chief
concern seemed to be over the prob
able size Of the surplus for sale.
None OF these crops IS Of record

potatoes a little below the average
yield, but the present state Of the
market gives farmers very little as
surance."
The report said prices of cattle and
hogs, although low, still were high
enough to allow some margin for
feeding.
The effects of the July heat wave
were said to be evident in a reduced
output Of oats, barley and hay, al
though there was said to be ample
feed in the country as a whole de-
spite some scarcity In portions of the
west and northwest.
