The rohber war against the Chinese
masses is part OF the worldwide Of
fensive OF the imperialist against the
toiling masses.
In China and the United States,
the imperialists are answering with
machine gun bullets the demands OF
the toiling masses for food and bet
ter conditions. The imperialsts are
attempting to get out Of the crisis OF
capitalism at the expense OF the
masses. at the expense Of the looting
and partition of China, at the ex-
Ipense of increasing wage cuts against
the workers in the imperialist coun-
tries. lynch terror and police murder
of Negro and white unemployed
workers. In their attacks of the
working class, the imperialists are
also rapidly moving toward armed
attack against workers Russia, for a
solution Of the crisis by war, by the
butchery OF millions of workers as in
the World War.
Workers! Rally to the fight against
imperialist war! Join and support the
Communist Party, which alone leads
the struggle against imperialist war,
against starvation, lynching and
police terror! Demand Hands off
NChina, Hands off the Soviet Union!

GANDH|'S WIFE PUT
IN JAIL BY BRITISH.
Daughter of Nationalist Con-
gress President and Third
Woman Also Arrested.
BY the Associated Press.

SURAT, India, January 11.-Mrs.
Kasturbai Gandhi, 60-year -old wife Of
Mahatma Gandhi, was arrested today
with two other prominent Indian wom-
en- leaders within week after her hus-
band entered Yeroda jail as the gov
ernments first move against the re-
tnewal of the civil disobedience cam
paign.
With Mrs. Gandhi, who pleaded to
be taken with her husband when he
was arrested, the government took into
custody Maniben Patel, daughter of
Vallabhai Patel, president of the Ma
tionalist Congress, who Is now in
Yeroda Jail with the mahatma. A third
woman, member of a wealthy Parsee
family, also was held. The arrests took
place at the village Of Sayadla, near
here.
. All three were charged with melting
1ndia's women to raise the standard Of
non-violent revolt against Great Britain.
Like her husband, Mrs Gandhi took
the arrest serenely, smiling pleasantly
at the officers. Although she was en-
gagged in active Nationalist work last
year when the mahatma fell into the
British tolls she was not arrested then,
and as result today's action was taken
to mean that the measures of the gov
ernment this year will surpass those of
last year in sternness and thorough
ness

NEW TRADE POLICY
Banker Declares Change in
Emotional Attitude Would
Lead to Upturns.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January IA mere
change in emotional attitude" and radi-
cal revamping of world economic pol
icies will 60 long way to restore in
ternational prosperity, Albert H. Wig
gin believes.
He emphasized their need in his an
nual report as chairman of the govern
ing board of the Chase National Bank,
distributed to stockholders today. He
cabled his message from Berlin, where
he heads committee representing 100
American banks supervising the debt
moratorium.
THE level of values and the volume
Of business are both depressed by fear of
the unknown far below the level justi-
fed by the facts, and both are capable
of substantial revival with a mere
change in emotional attitude MIR. Wig
gin said.
Tariff Barriers Cited.
World trade, he added, has been
badly paralyzed" by the effect on tariff
regulations erected by one nation after
another on theory of protection
They increased credit difficulties very
sharply and gave rise to need for gold
far beyond ordinary requirements for
international trade.
After pointing out that the United
States had withstood an international
run on gold so successfully that it had
established the American dollar as 1.-The
first credit of the world" Mr.. Wiggin
went on:
international payments are normally
made primarily by goods, with gold
used only to settle small balances and
with credit used primarily to bridge
over seasonal periods between the time
OF maximum imports and the time of
maximum exports.
THE gold of the world is abundantly
adequate for normal purposes of this
kind, and if exports and imports could
pay for one another the demand for
credit could be easily supplied"
Lauds German Efforts.
At the same time, unwillingness on
the part of the chief creditor nations
of the world to buy German marks has
left that country unable to meet it's
debts, Mr.. Wiggin said. He lauded the
German people and German bankers
for their efforts to meet their debts,
pointing out that they had paid off no
less than $257,040000 since July 81,
1881.
German industries, he added, are do
ing an increasingly greater amount of
business with Russia. and have taken
over the greater part of the business
formerly done by the United States with
that country.

NEW YORK. January 1l.-Today was
international day at the National Au-
tomobile Show, with hundreds of for
eign representatives Of manufacturing
companies and motor organizations in
attendance.
Great crowds of American visitors also
were arriving in New York for the show.
Ten extra trains arrived at Grand Gen.
tral Station this morning, bringing au-
tomobile men from Chicago, st. Louis
and Detroit. There were five yesterday.
In addition, there were extra sleeping
cars on all through trains.
Among the events, in addition to the
show itself and meetings of dealers and
manufacturers of the various companies,
was the convention of the National Au-
tomobile Dealers Association, opening
today at the Hotel Commodore. The
metropolitan section of the Society of
Automotive Engineers will hold its an
nual dinner at the Commodore tonight.
OF interest to visitors at the show
is the increase of speed and power in
the new models, particularly in the
medium and lower priced makes.
Thirty-four models are equipped with
power plants developing 100 horsepower
or more.
The increase in power is due gen.
orally to Improvements in manifolding
and carburation, valve construction and
timing.
For the first time, some Of the COM
panies are offering engines with op-
tional compression ratios. Eleven man
ufacturers, with 28 models, supply this
feature.

GOVERNOR TO RETIRE.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, January II (F).
Gov. Louis L. Emmerson announced
this morning that he would not run
for reelection.
Expressing his gratitude to group
of Chicago Republicans that had come
to urge hlm to run for reelection, Gov.
Emmerson briefly reviewed his admin
istration and then declared his hope
that in the campaign just ahead Re-
publicans will lay aside their factional
differences and nominate ticket made
up of men highly qualified for the varl-
Gus Offices.

Illinois the best administration of which
I was capable. 1t has fallen to my lot
to be head of the State goernment dur
ing unhappy times, times of financial
distress, unemployment, hardship and
suffering, and it is source of satisfac-
ton to know that have labored cease
lessly and conScientiouSly to meet the

Gov. Len Small in the Republican pri-
mary in 1929. He then beat the Demo-
cratic nominee, Floyd E. Thompson,
with the count 1,709,818 to 1,284,897.
The Governors retirement had been
expected for some time, and speculation
for several weeks has been centered on
which of several potential candidates
he would support. Among the Repub-
licans who have announced their candi-
dacy or have been mentioned as pros
poets are former Gov. Small, Attorney
General Oscar E. CarlErom, former
State Treasurer Omer d. Custer and

Faces Big Library Task
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

The responsibility of transferring the
225 900 or so volumes, comprising one
OF the largest agricultural libraries in
the world, from the old Bieber Building
on B street to the spacious new home
OF the Department Of Agriculture will
rest upon the frail shoulders of slen-
der. gray-haired woman, Miss Claribel
Ruth Barnett. For nearly rs years Miss
Barnett has been the librarian Of the
departments valuable scientific books
Since taking her first position with
the library as cataloguer, which brought
her to Washington in 1895, she has seen
the unit which she now heads expand
from reference library Of $4,000 vol
umes, to its present standing as one OF
the most important scientific libraries
In the country. The books are read
not only by members of Government
institutions in Washington, but are cir
culated among approximately 2,400 col
leges, experiment stations, universities,
scientific institutions and business
firms throughout the United States.
Studied by Europeans.
In fact, the library has attained such
important proportions that agricultural
students have travelled from France,
Germany and Italy to consult its works
on botany, chemistry, physics, bacteri-
ology, geology, biology, zoology, ento-
mology, plant and animal industry,
veterinary science, forestry, meteorology,
economics, sociology and engineering.
The library's collections in all Of these
subjects are rich and in several are un-
surpassed.
The task of moving this collection
with minimum of confusion and inter-
ruption in the normal activities of the
library will confront Miss Barnett some
time in the late Spring, when the books
probably will be transferred directly to
the new library.
1t is a big job which will be super
vised by the slender, quiet librarian, but
one that she says she is rather looking
forward to.
Graduated at Michigan.
Before studying library work" she
architecture. The only reason I did
not specialize in architecture at the
University Of Michigan, from which I
was graduated before attending the New
York State Library School, was be-
cause they did not offer course in
that subject"
Il always have been interested in
architecture and interior design. and
will enjoy arranging the library to
make it as attractive as possible"
The value of a college education for
women who wish to take up library
work is proven by the fact Miss Bar
nett and her three assistants are all
graduates of leading colleges.
Miss Emma B. Hawks associate IL
brarian, who is in charge of the read
ers' division of the library, is a grad
uate of Smith College; Miss Helen
Thompson, in charge of the catalogue
division, is graduate of Goucher Col
lege, and Miss Lydia wilkins, in charge
of the periodical division, is a graduate
of Wellesley.
Miss Barnett, native of Ohio, has
travelled extensively abroad, where she
visited most of the leading libraries,
and she declares American methods
are far ahead of those in Europe.
They may have the volumes" she
said, but our library systems are far
superior to those I have seen in other
countries and are of greater value and
assistance to ordinary readers"
