TOXIC PREPAR
TO SEIZE LARGE
SLICE OF CHINA
New Onslaught Is Forecast
Before Winter; Worlds
Hands lied.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-HOward Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-wal
clouds once more are piling up over
the Far East and Washington i,
watching developments there with
increasing anxiety.
Japan may spring another
surprise before the snow flies, in
wade northern China, and seize
Jehol, the province of Chilli, in
Guiding Peiping, the old capital,
and TientSin.
The world situation which made
it possible for Nippon to gobble ur
Manchuria obtains today to an even
greater extent than in September
of last year, when, overnight, hel
troops occupied every strategic
point in that section of China.
Europe's hands, more than ever
are tied by grave and pressing
problems, while the United States
is hard pressed by its own domestic
troubles. Japan, therefore, is well
aware that, so far as the outside
world is concerned, she can go as
far as she likes in China.
Doubts Have Vanished
When she virtually annexed Man
churia last fall, she had some doubts
as to what would happen. 1t was
violation Of the nine-power treaty
the Kellogg pact and the covenant
of the League of Nations. Their
there was Russia and the United
States to look out for, both op-
posed to the partition of China.
Today these doubts have vanished
1t is true that popular sentiment al
over the world modified against the
rape of helpless China, but nothing
serious and concrete happened
The league did not stop Japan. The
nine-power treaty powers did not
boycott her.
The Kellogg pact signatories failed
to do more than talk. While as
to Russia. it soon became obvious
that she did not dare move lest
while she was fighting Japan in the
east, Europe would attack her or
the west. ,.,,,,,....,..
Too, the United States announced
it would not recognize Manchuria
no matter if Japan did annex it
but that did not worry Japan any
more than she minded the leagues
appointment of a commission to in
vestigate and report. The thing
that counted was that she was left
in possession of her loot.
Expect New Attack
Reports from Peking are alarm
ing. The Chinese military council
there, headed by Marshal Chang
Hsuer- Liang, ousted Manchurian
war lord, are preparing for new
Japanese attack. They do not eX-
pect it until after the league COM
mission reports to Geneva late in
August or September, but they are
confident it will not be delayed long
after that.
Japanese residents in northern
China have been warned to concen-
trate in Peiping or Tient-in at q
moments notice. Those living out
side the legation compound in Peip-
ing have been warned to pack their
things on one shot fired by the
legation guard, and rush to the
compound upon the signal of two
Japanese propaganda of the kind
adopted just before the japanese
invasion of Manchuria now is said
to be flooding the Far East.

UNKNOWN STAR
GETS TOP ROLE
IN new PICTURE
London Sleeper HeraIded
as Newest Find of
Screen World.
BY ALANSON w. EDWARDS
United Press stan Corresnnndenf

HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 6-watch
out for Charles Laughton, the
London sleeper"
A HEAVIEST young blond. of not
too prepoSSeSsing appearance
Laughton was brought to the
Paramount studios from London
and handed one of the most COW
eted parts on the lot.
And all, if you can believe it
without the slightest advance notice
or ballyhoo
Paramount moguls realized this
was contrary to the usual proce-
dure, but decided that for once
the public should be allowed to
select its own favorites.
Confident of Ability
They are that confident of
Laughton'S ability, especially after
Cecil De Mile watched him in a
few scenes and made a report.
Although he never before worked
IN pictures, Laughton for his debut
was assigned a role in Devil and
the Deep" equal to those of Tauulah
Bankhead and Gary Cooper.
Laughton's case indicates Holly
wood is coming to realize that fans
never refused to accept real his
trionic talent, as for example Lon
CLANCY, Marie DresSler, Emil jan
nings and more recently Lionel Bar
rymore
All attained stardom without sex
appeal.
Studio Aids Interested
The Londoner and his secret work
have the studio attaches goSsiping.
and all are eager to see how he
comes out. The lack of forehand
notoriety is all right with Laugh
ton.
L have always worked better
when 1 felt was unknown and
the task was on my shoulders of
providing startling entertainment"
he said.
If the world is told an actor is
good, it expects so much of him that
the greatest performance possible
would not top expectations.
Laughton is a character actor bit
not a makeup artist. He achieves
MS AFFECTS more by repression than
physical or facial contortions.

The Play

West would open either the eight
of spades or a heart-perhaps the
ten of hearts would be selected in
the ajority of cases. The trick
would be won by South the declarel
with the queen.
Three rounds of trump should be
taken by the declarer, leaving the
ace OF trump in dummy. 1t looks
as If the natural way to play the
hand now is to lead the jack OF
hearts and then play a small heart
to dummy's king.
Would you lead the ace of hearts
and discard either the queen of
clubs or the ten of diamonds? If
so, your small slam contrast would
be defeated.
South does not know which
flnesSe to take, but he does know
that West is out of spades and also
out OF hearts, so the proper play
would be the four of diamonds from
dummy, and finesse the ten which
West would win with the jack.
And now you can see that West
is helpless-he must lead either a
club or diamond, either of which
would be right into the declarer's
ace queen-the other queen can be
discarded on the good ace of hearts
The reason the declarer should
not cash his ace of hearts before
taking the diamond finesse is be-
cause he does not know which suit
to discard.
BY throwing West in the lead. he
solves this problem very easily.

WYE have been in a depression
w nearly two and a half years,
and what have we done that fits the
need? Nothing at all, but waiting
for a lot of badly perplexed leaders
to see if they could make a good
guess, or preferably for something
to happen that would relieve them
of even that mild effort.
Right now, the Majority of us still
cling to the thought that if we
are patient long enough, some mir
acle will occur and put us back in
the good old days.
1t won't, and we might just as well
face the music. There is more to
this mess than a temporary decline
in consumption.
For one thing, it calls for some
drastic changes in our industrial
lineup. They were on the schedule
long before the crash came. If we
had recognized them and made
them, it wouldn't have been half so
bad.
We didn't and wouldn't because
we were afraid of the disturbance
they might cause, and we still hest
tate for precisely the same reason.
It's a good thing that we are
waking up to the presence of fear,
but it's wrong to suppose we haven't
been slaves to it for a long time.

An Argument Against Capital Punishment

The following editorial comment from the Canadian
Forum constitutes a powerful emotional argument
against capital punishment. The editors rightly OBJ
serve that the public is much likely to be shocked
than argued into sanity on this ISSUE
THE story of the hanging of Alphonse Bureau at
the Quebec Jail on Nov. 20 deserves wider publicity
than it has received for though public opinion hardly
can be argued into abolshing the death penalty, it
may be shocked into it.
Bureau was %. He was convicted on April d.
1881, of the murder of Yvonne Poulin his mistress
and sentenced to death. On the night before the
execution he attempted suicide by opening veins in
his arms and legs The guard found him lying in his
cell in a pool of blood and medical assistance and
drugs were applied just in time to his life for the
hanging
"As morning approached crowd had collected
on neghborng parts of Battletelds park from which
the scene could be watched. When the condemned
man was marched to the scaffold murmur which
was almost a shout in the air.
Before this audience Hangman Ellis proceeded to
the task of taking a life for a life. The trap was
sprung at o'clock-but something went wrong. After
a full five minutes had passed Alphonse Bureau was
found to be still alive at the end of the rope Seven
minutes more were allowed to elapse before second
examination was made. Somewhere between the
fifth and twelfth minutes Bureau died-of strangula-
ton.
THUS was Yvonne Poulin avenged and the account
with society squared. Meanwhile Bureaus wife

his child. alive
Perhaps they still believe that he spoke the truth

he reafirmed his innocence, and protested that he

opinion of a jury that the guilty"

Most Alcoholics Can Blame Heredity

conscious mental tension has &C
cumulated until the breaking point.
The discharge or the escape from
reality occurs in a sudden debauch.
In those cases in which the drink
ing is habitual, the mental prob
lem is more constantly in the mind
of the individual, and he frequent
ly is found to have not a weak
will or bad character, but an un-
satisfacty emotional life.
The Psychologists who have been
concerned primarily with the effects
of alcohol on the human body be-
gan with the generally accepted
view that alcohol is not stimuIant,
but depressant of the nervous sys-
tenn.
The lower centers of the nervous
system are the first and the easiest
to be depressed, hence, there seems
to be stimulation of the higher
levels.
1t is this stimulation and the re-
noval of the repression which gives
rise to the feeling of exaltation, and
which makes the alcoholic laxative,
emotional, and easily disturbed.
