WAR CLOUDS ARE
GATHERING AGAIN

United States and League OF
Nations Move to Clear Up
Difficulty

The sinister cloud threatening the
peace Of the Orient as the result OF
the japanese occupation Of Manchur-
Ia thickened Saturday despite moves
by the United States and the League
Of Nations to dissipate 1t.
China observed the twentieth ami
versary Of the birth of its republic
with an impressive military display in
Nanking. Chang Kaishek, Chinese
president, pleaded for national unity
and strength to resist foreign invas-
ion.
An official Of the japanese war Of
flee, informed President Hoover ne
had discussed with his cabinet the
bombing OF Chinchow, Manchuria, by
japanese planes, retorted 1t was de
plorable that the American govern
ment, owing to lack Of proper infor-
nation, has been misled by false pro-
paganda on the part Of the Chinese.
This followed announcement that
the Washington administration would
act soon in the China Japanese con-
troversy, possibly reminding the prin-
cipals and the world Of the obligations
imposed by the Kellogg Pact renounc-
ing wars Of aggression.
On the strength Of q new appeal
by China, the League Of Nations
council was summoned to meet IN
urgent session next Tuesday.
Anti-Japanese sentiment simmer
ed as the minister Of that country to
China went from Shanghai to Nan-
king on an imperial warship to
present q strongly -worded note to
the Chinese government warning 1t
to stop the hostile demonstrations or
take the consequences.
A Japanse cruiser arrived at
Shanghai and 200 members Of its
landing force were sent to guard the
japanese concession there. Alto
gether there were 20 japanese fight
ing ships in Chinese waters.
japanese authorities reiterated the
bombing of Chinchow was defense
measure designed to stop the con-
centration OF Chinese troops. Sew
eral persons were reported killed and
much damage done by the bombs at
Chinchow.

Vancouver. B. c., Oct. 10-(R-The
American Federation of Labor satur-
day launched q nation wide fight
against the proposed passage by con-
gress Of q sales tax.
After acclaiming resolution against
the sales tax as presented by It's exec

an increase In federal income and
state inheritance taxes as a means OF
disposing Of the revenue problem.
The executive council said Friday
the only persons to be benefited by
a sales tax ''are the two per cent Of

tax. The burden Of taxation would
fall upon the SO per cent who do not
pay an income tax. They now pay an
indirect tax on everything they buy.
The sales tax will increase that tax
load"

employees should be placed on q five
day week basis without pay cuts las
