BAKER ASKS WORLD
PROTEST ON JAPAN
Crisis Is One of Extreme
Gravity, Says Former
Cabinet Member.

BY ScrippS-HoUdrd Newspaper Alliance
CLEVELAND, Dec. 8.-Every civ
ilized state and particularly the
5ignatories to the nine-power treaty,
should at once protest the course
Of Japan in Manchuria.
This emphatic statement was
made today by Newton D. Baker,
former secretary OF war, in COM
menting upon the editorial pub
liShed in The Indianapolis Times
and other Scripps- Howard papers
Monday in regard to the use of the
nine-poWer treaty to prevent war
and make good the treaty obliga-
lions to China for preservation of
her territorial integrity and pre-
servation Of peace.
The statement Of Baker was most
emphatic in its terms and carries
unusual significance, because of his
outstanding position as an author
lty on international affairs and his
continuous eSpousal of the cause of
peace and the prevention of war.
called Grave Crisis
Discussing the present Japanese
crisis, he reviewed recent events and
declared that the situation is "the
gravest issue now threatening the
peace of the world"
The editorial upon which COM
ment was made charged that Presi-
dent Hoover and Secretary Slim
son had no moral or legal right to
ignore longer the plain terms of
the treaty, and that this nations
good faith, as well as the threat of
war, demanded immediate action.
If such treaties are not to be
observed by nations interested, the
whole structure upon which the
peace of the world rests is an il
fusion, and we are not only all saw
ages, but hypocritical Savages," he
declared.
ASSailS Japanese Stand
Japan, in signing the nine
power treaty, became a trustee
obliged to prevent the very things
she now is doing. The suggestion
that the civil government can not
control the military power means
that Japan has two governments
and that no treaty is binding I'M
less it is made with both of them.
Japan can not have a rule of her
own on this subject. Other nations
must have the same license. This
suggestion therefore means that
treaties made by secretaries of state
do not bind secretaries of war
Treaties made by the Indian tribes
we're better than that.
no protest against this is the
imperative duty of every civilized
state"

CITY MARKET is
HELD DISGRACE
Council to Probe Charges of
InSanitation.

City market conditions we're at
tackled as insanitary and disgrace
by city councilmen, who today
opened an investigation which may
lead to complete reorganization of
the market.
The council Monday night
launched the survey, preliminary to
passing upon request of the safety
board for $500 to improve the east
market.
Councilman Leo F. WEIGH opposed
the appropriation, which will be
voted upon Thursday at a special
meeting.
recommendations of William
NIiddleSworth, health inspector,
were referred to by WEIGH.
1.-THE health board reports that
conditions are such that it is being
embarrassed every day." WEIGH said,
Il think Shareholders should bring
us some concrete program of i'm
provement in management before
we spend any money on the place "
Ernest G. Ropkey, council presi-
dent, suggested the complete sur
vey and asserted that rentals of
stands, which are far too low,
should be increased"
Several counciimen described the
market as a white elephant" and
said it ought to be closed at once.
Questioned as to financial returns
to the city from the market, Francis
H. Coleman, deputy city controller
replied: IF we stopped to figure it,
we would close the market i'm
mediately."

High Lights

By United Press
XXTASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-High-
w lights from President
Hoover's annual message:
If the world is to regain its
standards of life, it further must
decrease both naval and other
arms. We do not require more
money or working capital-we
need to put what we have to
work.
Our first step toward recovery
is to re-establish confidence and
thus restore the flow Of credit,
which is the very basis of our
economic life.
We must put some steel beams
in the foundations of our credit
structure.
We must face a temporary in
crease in taxes.
I am opposed to any direct or
indirect government dole.
Our people are providing against
distress from unemployment in
true American fashion.
I am opposed to any extension
of veteran expenditures until the
country has recovered from the
present situation.
1 am opposed to any general
congressional revision of the
tariff.

HAPPY DAYS
ARE RETURNING
FOR ARKANSAS
March Big Turning Point;
Drought Breaking Rains
Restore Confidence.
81 United Press

3y United Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March IL.
"A bright ray Of sunlight has
worked its way through the dark
clouds of depression and brought
smile Of hope to Arkansas stricken
people, Albert Eyas, state director
Of the Red Gross, said today.
March marked the big turning
point" Evans said, "the warm,
bright sun following heavy, drought
breaking rains turned the earth into
a perfect garden almost over the
entire state.
Men gained confidence with the
sun. Many Of the bankssthat failed
last year, reopened with the bright
er outlook. Persons with nothing
much more to do, went to work
planting gardens.
In the last ten days seed for
more than $4,000 gardens, which
will produce enough to feed the
state during the summer and fall,
we're sowed.
Livestock and poultry purchases
have increased.
THE number of families applying
TO the Red Cross for relief has
decreased in huge quantities daily
in the last week.
1T seems possible that within a
few weeks our relief agencies can be
withdrawn entirely. The state will
be past its convalescent stage"
In northeastern Arkansas 5000
miners, unemployed for several
months, partly because Of the mild
winter, form the biggest problem
now, Evans said. The immediate
solution of that situation is not
quite clear.
