The bombing near Kungtapiu took
place yesterday, the dispatch said, and
the Chinese killed were bandits.
OfDcial circles expressed the hope
their obtectives still could be gained by
peaceful means, but they added further
trouble rs indicated in war Office reports
that the Chinese are rushing additional
defense works at numerous points near
Chinchow and that further concentra-
tions OF Chinese troops are taking place
at Newchaung, Tahushan and other
places.
IL another drive does take place, mill
tary circles said, it will probably be a
major operation lasting at least several
weeks. This opinion apparently was
based on official news indicating that
Chinese forces in the Chinchow region
number as high as As 900 and are well
equipped.

and that Chinchow is held to be clearly

and that is for Marshal Chang to take
the responsibility himself.
The government, 1t was stated is de-

there will be imminent danger Of a

Anybody familiar with the speech Premier Laval
delivered recently in Paris must admit that official
French opinion has not progressed one inch and
has not even begun to realize the gravity of the
economical problem of the world today.
To be sure, enlightened British and American
opinion years ago recognized the suicidal insanity
of the economic arrangement forced by the vic
torious powers Germany in lsls-19. 1t will
be remembered that Prof Maynard Keynes OF
Cambridge University raised his voice in the crit

to the economic disaster working behind the tyran-

were heard at the time also the malady of victory

statesmen in those days.

ALPRACT|CE LAID
TO MICHEL s FIRM
Attorney General Reveals
"AmbuIance Chasing" of
SchaII's Appointee.

BY the Associated Press.
Attorney General Mitchell today made
public letter he wrote Senator Schall
of Minnesota on January %, in which
he reiterated his refusal to recommend
Ernest Michel for a United States
district judgeship in Minnesota.
Mitchell said: 81 cannot myself be-
lieve that it would be anything less
than a reproach upon the adminlStra-
ton of justice to select for the high
position of Federal judge" lawyer
whose firm, he said, had solicited accl-
dent cases.
Sued ON Ambulance Chasing.
He quoted from a decision of the
Supreme Court of Nebraska in case
brought against the firm of Davis 81
Michel to enjoin it from violating what
he said was commonly known as The
anti-ambulance chasing statute of that
State" This quotation read:
"A condition existed where agents OF
these attorneys were travelling in the
State soliciting employment for nom
resident attorneys, haunting the homes
of the injured and bringing great dis
credit to the legitimate practice OF the
law"
A long controversy between Mitchell
and Schall broke into the open this
week. with the Attorney General as
sorting it should be understood that he
would not recommend Michel to Presi-
dent Hoover.
Schall, in an answering statement,
said he would continue to insist upon
his nominees appointment and added
Michel had the support of the full
Minnesota delegation.
Terms Ability "Fair."
The Attorney General today reviewed
Michels career and said it had been
devoted to personal injury litigation.
Michel, he said, was lawyer of fair
ability" but not outstanding, and he
charged that the effort to have him
selected as a United States judge was
to pay a political debt.
Personal injury litigation in itself
is quite legitimate Mitchell said, but
there are different ways of conducting
that business and some firms of lawyers
who give their principal attention to
that class of litigation have allowed
themselves to be led into methods of
solicitation and procurement which have
from time immemorial been condemned
by the profession and by the courts
as contrary to the public policy. The
firm of Davis & Michel has conducted
its professional activities along these
lines"
