MY Government does not seek to IN

"It has already conveyed to you its
sympathetic appreciation OF your Ell

the objective you have in view, and 1t
has expressed the hope that the tried
machinery of the League may IN tnls

Moreover, acting independently ano

to bring about a peaceful solution OF
the unfortunate controversy In Man

neat. we can of course take no part
But the pact of Paris, bearing as II
does the signature of the President OF

America an effective means OF mar
shaling the use of pacific means only,
behind the use Of pacific means only,
in the solution of controversies between

Public Opinion Held Potent.
1--WE feel not only that this public
opinion is a most potent force IN the
domestic affairs of every nation, but
that it is of constantly growing I'M
portance and influence in the mutual
relations of the members OF the family
Of nations.
"The timely exercise of the power OF
such opinion may be effective to pre-.
vent breach of international peace OF
worldwide consequences. We assume
that this may be the reason why the
consideration of the relationship be-

and the present situation has been
brought forward in this body; and the
purpose which has moved my govern
ment to accept your invitation is that
thus we may most enthusiastically and
effectively take common counsel with

lived as neighbors and quite naturally
have their squabbles. In the days Of
old they used bows and arrows, spears
and swords, and more recently, modern
arms, to their own satisfaction.
For this reason Toxic believes direct
negotiations with China offers the most
logical opportunity for solution OF the
300-odd questions which have been
hanging fire between them for years
and which brought to a head the pres
ent trouble.
IF left to ourselves" said the foreign
Office spokesman, "China and Japan
will find some way to get together and
settle the present dispute. It may re-
quire months, possibly years, but the
two nations viii never fight. That is
the point we desire to make clear to
Geneva"
Army authorities were quoted by the
press as characteriZing the attitude of
the United States in the Manchurian
situation as extremely meddlesone. u
Rengo News Agency said the state
nent Of Army authorities was made
after meeting at which they voted to
uphold Japan'S stand.
Army authorities, according to the
agency, contended that since the gov
eminent repeatedly had stated the re-
cent difficulties in Manchuria should be
settled without the intervention of a
third party, ut is extremely meddlesome
on Americas part to concern herself
with a serious issue arising from re-
gion where Japan has special, peculiar
relations. Such a step would only trri-
tate the sensitive feelings of the Jap
aneSe people"
Minister of War Giro Minami called
representatives of the vernacular news
pers to a conference at which he said
the Geneva action was plainly an at
tempt to drag America into the affair. "
Emphasizing Japan'S contention that
no third party should be. brought into
the negotiations, he said, 1T Is quite
natural that the Leagues efforts
amounting to little short of tnterven-
ton, cannot please Japan"
Declared Unalterable.
Minami said American participation
In the proceedings was liable Ito de-
feat the very aim of the Council, as that
would only encourage wrong attitude
in China to avoid direct negotiations
with Japan and to make use of third
party for her selfish ends"
He said he doubted the Leagues IA
cilities were capable Of gaining the
proper knowledge of the complicated
Manchurian situation, where regular
Chinese troops, under the disguise OF
bandits, were encouraged to attack
japanese soldiers and where Chinese
army authorities countenanced the
massacre of numerous non-combatant
Koreans"
He added, I'VE do not know in what
; direction the Leagues Council might
! drift after American participation, but
one thing we do know. and that Is that
/ Japan's first fixed policy involving her
I national existence as far as Manchuria
IS concerned remains absolutely unal-
terable under the circumstances"
= It was reported that the government
was considering sending another set Of
instructions to the Japanese spokesman
at Geneva, Kenkichi Yoshizawa.

URGED ON LAVAL
Counter Move Is Favored to
Prevent Extension of
Hoover Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 17.-Premier Laval,
en- route to America, was represented
by the newspaper lie Matin today as
having been advised to propose to Presi-
dent Hoover a so per cent reduction in
ntergovernmental war debts in place of
possible extension OF the one-year
moratorium.
Arms Stand Outlined.
His experts urged him also to suggest
progressive reduction in ornaments on
the basis Of budget costs rather than
the idea Of equality, the paper said.
And with the stipulation that the
Kellogg BRAND peace pact be amended
to provide that in the event of war the
United States would consult with other
powers and agree to deprive the ag-
gressor of all assistance.
If he follows their advice, he would
oppose remuneration of Germany's I'M
conditional reparations payments, it was
said, but would accept the substitution
Of payments in kind for payments In
money. Opposition to bimetallism and
to redistribution of the worlds gold
supply was pressed upon him.
U. S. Position Is Seen.
France was said to realize that Ameri-
can and English banks are embarrassed
by frozen credits in Germany and South
America. If the United States places
capital at the disposal Of her banks,
France was said to be willing to open
the Paris mcrket to loans floated In this
connection.

STOP THAT COUGH!

Bronchitis is increasingly preva-
.ent at this season. Alone, it is sell
dom serious, although the cough may
be very annoying. But the serious
side of Bronchitis and other mild
infections Of the lungs and throat is
that the inflamed tissues may be in
vaded by some far more serious
organism, particularly Pneumonia.
This is a real danger in most
cases. 1t is the best of reasons why
a bronchial cough or an attack Of
laryngitis should be stopped as
quickly as possible.
The quick effective way to check
these troubles is to apply B. &. NJ,

LIKE MOORISH CITY
is OLD CARTAGENA
Ancient Spanish Stronghold
Worth a Visit.

Founded in 1888 by Pedro de
Heredia, and besieged and plundered
during it's existence more times than
one can enumerate in a couple Of
long breaths, Cartagena, one of the
oldest cities on the Spanish main,
was the home of Colombia's patron
saint, San Pedro Claver, Bertram B.
Lewis writes, in the Boston Herald.
This Pedro was godly man. He
wore a crown Of thorns, let insects
bite him and devoted much of his
time to healing the wounds of slaves
brought over from Africa.
He lived in Cartagena in the
monastery which bears his name and
his bones repose in glass case be-
meath the altar in the chapel there.
They are covered by silken canopy,
from the top of which his skull looks
down upon the worshipers.
Americans will be interested in
the fact that Capt. Lawrence Wash
ington, brother Of George, was un-
able to capture this port by force in
1741.
The city, which now has popula-
ton of $4,000. still has much of the
unspoiled and picturesque. Mosque
like domes and Moorish towers en-
phasize the skyline.
Although carriages or automobiles
may be hired at moderate rates, Car
tagena is a good place to see ON foot.
The visitor likes to linger in many
places connected with the city's sto-
ries Of romance and legend.

Sees Regard for Dogs
Notably on Increase

A woman who is great lover of
animals recently told two incidents.
or retold them, from the press, to
stress her point that the wholly COM
mendable, but rather limited. attitude
Of 'love me, love my dog" shows
hopeful signs of progress. She says
that this affection is rapidly being
stretched to include the other fell
lows dog.
"There was that tiny item in the
paper the other day, for example,
about the dog that selected the mid
die of busy street in Bloomsbury,
Pa, for his siesta,' she said. Little
noting the vast number of persons
who were affected by his discrimi-
mating search for a shady spot, the
dog took peaceful nap, according 60
the Boston Globe. while 400 respect
full motorists detOured around him.
Then there was that other dog
wso had made himself unpopular
with his neighbors over in New Jer-
sey because of his habit of barking
at night. The local police recorder
had been notified, and the aged resi-
dent who owned him was given the
sad command to dispose of him. 1t
happened that the owner not only
actually depended on the dog for
companionship, but for errands at
which the creature had proved re-
markably dependable.
"Well, the upshot of it was" said
the lady who loves animals, trium-
phantly. that &c persons. led by the
mayor of the town. heard of the mat
ter and testified in the dogs behalf.
Some of them, mind you, even gave
up their vacations so that they might
aid the case. And the dog was Off
cially forgiven"
