Al CapOne Lines
 Up With Law
(Continued from Page 1.)

-~-----------------~----- While Capone announced that he was doing all in his power to
 save Lynch, who was threatened
 with death by the kidnappers af
 ter they had spurned an offer of S40,000 ransom, police declined to view "Scarface AT' as a convert to
 law and order.
 "Capone has taken sides in a
 squabble between a kidpnapers' mob and a gambler, that's all," the police declared.
 Friends of Lynch, who was
 seized Thursday while en route from Chicago to his $125,000 home
 at Lake Geneva, Wis, declared that
 he was not gambler. that his
 news bureau did legitimate busi- ness.
 They characterized the kidnap-
 pers as cunning and desperate men playing for stakes far bigger than
 the $250,000 demanded as ransom.
 The associates of Lynch said they
 believed the gang was trying to
 gain control of the General News Bureau, which has a yearly profit
 of $250.000 or more. Speaking from the palatial Lake

 If nominated and elected, I pledge myself to the task of bringing relief to hundreds of our citizens and residents who face the rigors of an approach

u. S. BASES HOPES
ON KELLOGG PACT
Looks Upon Treaty as Weap-
on Against Peace Violation
by Japan and China.

The scorn Of public opinion, modified
through the Kellogg BRAND pact, is
poised as the most probable instrument
CT world powers against hostilities in
Manchuria.
This treaty for the remuneration of
war is looked upon by the American
Government as the most formidable
weapon against violation Of world peace
by Japan and China
AS it prepared to sit with the League
Of Nations for the first time in a
major controversy. the American Gov
eminent had in mind that the Kellogg
BRAND pact would be involved.
Move to Preserve Peace.
AS party to that treaty and one
Of its sponsors, the United States is
willing to associate itself with its APP
plication through any agency. Likewise,
Secretary Stimson considers that the
League Council provides the same ma
chinery for consultation as Is provided
under the nine-power Pacific treaty, of
which the American Government Is
signatory.
At first hesitant to accept the
Leagues invitation to sit with it because
OF Japan's failure to consent. the State
Department moved gradually toward
its decision to participate.
China. through its Washington lega =
ton, announced its willingness for the
United States to join in any League
action
following reports that Japan had
fiatly rebuffed American proffers to
help preserve the peace through the
Geneva organization Secretary StimSon
conferred at length with Ambassad dor
Debuchi. The latter later recommended
to Toxic that 1t give consent to this
Governments participation in any
League action.
VIII Not Join League Sanctions.
While there has been no official COM
ment on the subject. it has been made
clear informally at the State Depart
ment that the United States would not
associate itself with the application OF
any League sanctions. These include
subsection of nations breaking a pledge
against war under the League covenant
to boycott, blockade and. in the event
Of failure of pacific measures, to active
military pressure.
State Department officials look upon
a present application of the Kellogg
BRAND treaty as merely method OF
establishing limit. the violation OF
which would mark the offending nation
as the aggreSsor.
The pact provides no sanctions. al
though the mobilization Ct public
opinion behind an invocation of it is
generally described as the treaty's

No precedent for invocation of the
treaty has been set by the League
which looks upon it as more binding
in pledges against war than its own

our people. We've a new kind of gov
eminent The old. cumbersome mode
of the Constitution has been super
ceded by a dictatorship and an oil
garchy.
When congressional action is needed
now, Congress is not called in session
but leaders Of the Republican and
Democratic parties and the Progressive
right wing are summoned in secret to
the White House to approve q long
prearranged policy, and thus the policy
Is adopted.
The international bankers have
learned the short cut to congressional &C

their victory in easing the United States

have decreed its policy in secret with
out assembling its troublesome members.

CHANG DEP[ORES
WAR EVIL FORCES
Chinese President Calls on
Christians to Demand

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 16.-The Chris
tan Herald made public last night q
cable message received by DR.. Daniel
a. PoIlng from Gen. Chang Kai-Shek,
Nationalist President of the Chinese
Republic, deploring the EVIL forces"
working necessarily TO destroy peace
and prevent the world from attain
ing it."
The Chinese leader, known as the
CHRISTIAN general" who was con-
verted to Methodism in 1910. calls on
christian people of the world to de-
mand peace.
Sees Start of Slaughter.
Almost unlimited money, time and
intelligence are being spent on increas-
ing ornaments and improving science"
the message said. 1t is the start e,s
human slaughter on the biggest ScE.u
possible.
This is due to the calamitoas dis
ruption OF our economic l.fs and con-
stltutes real menace to friendly re-
lations among the nations and races.
Under these circumstances can the
world have peace?
THE most effective way Of attain
ing this high ard noble object is, I be-
lieve, to strengthen such organizations
and instruments by fundamental
change of attitude. We should believe
from the bottom of our heart that
might is not right. but right is might.
Our belief should be so strong and
firm that We would denounce and
condemn war in any form, including
war tendencies. war provocation or
demonstration and preparation for war:
not only that We should demand at
any cost and insist upon and uphold
peace on basis Of truth. Justice,
honor. righteousness and love; We
promise on this attitude, which, I be-
leve, Is the Christian attitude.
Christians Responsible.
Christian people throughout the
world have the definite and distinct
responsibility of creating this Christian
attitude. Their failure to do so is
responsible for the worlds wars and
consequent evils and suffering. Upon
their success will depend the worlds
peace and harmony. My sincereSt hope
is that the church people Of the United
States will quickly and Loyalty rally
themselves and also inspire and unite
with Christians of other lands around
the Prince of Peace to conquer all
SelfShneSS, jealousy and hate in the
human heart, which will surely Danish
war forever from the world and estab-
lish a reign of understanding. appre-
citation. harmony and love, which will
without doubt make the worlds peace
secure and permanent.
1T am confident that my fellow
countrymen, who are traditionally
known as a peace-loving people, will
heartily support and cooperate in all
efforts to create the Christian attitude
which is so vital 10 realization OF
world peace"

TOXIC POSITION CLARIFIED.
Spokesman Says Japan Has No Inten-
ton of Declaring War.

TOXIC, October Is LP).-Asserting
that Japan has absolutely no intention
of declaring war upon China" spokes-
man for the Toxic government today ex-
planned his country'S attitude in making
an issue Of efforts to invoke the Kellogg
pact at Geneva.
The spokesman said Japan's attitude
was in no way directed at America itself
and reiterated the contention that the
Kellogg pact applied to situation in
volving war or danger of war.
He added that japan believed Ameri-
can participation In the Geneva con-
ference over Manchuria might only de-
lay solution by encouraging China
to refuse to enter into direct negotia-
lions.
The spokesman said Japan had done
all in her power to avoid Earring Amer
ica's sensibilities regarding Manchuria,
but that one Of the reasons why Japan
had been reluctant to favor American
participation in the League of Nations
proceedings was the fact that it wss
not known here what obligations, If
any, the United States would assume.
Japan feels the people of other coun-
tries do not realize her interests in
Manchuria are "a matter Of life and
DEATH
The spokesman further represented
his country as feeling that other ma
lions lad not appreciated that every
thing she had done in the present out
break was in self-defense.
Japan" he said. has now shown
that she actually means what she has
been saying about Manchuria for years
and that her vital interests there can
not be neglected.
The Toxic government seemed deter
mined to stand firm on the five legal
points raised by its Geneva representa-
tive, chief of which was on the validity
of majority vote of the League Coun-
Gil being held adequate to extend the
invitation for American participation.
Japan feels that the League, in its
eagerneSs to bring about settlement Of
the Manchurian affair, committed ar
oversight, and that when the statesmen,
after reconsidering. give the question
more cool, collected thought" they may
change their minds altogether. This
country, therefore, is awaiting develop

Japan has no serious intention Of
withdrawing from the League, but ir
