The present situation in the Far East

of the world. Every effort has been

in, MoDPhnria
In regard to the unfortunate incidents
which have taken place recently In
Shanghai, I wish to make clear that
Japan's entire action has been one OF
self defense.
For many years past the japanese
people living in that locallty-and else
where-haye been subjected to illegal
anti-Japanese acts, designed and per-
petrated by Chinese, with the aim OF
not only depriving the japanese OF their
legitimate commercial interests, but also
with the view Of driving the japanese
out of these parts OF China.
These acts constituted fragrant Vlo-
lations of the treaty rights of the Japa-
nese. Protest after protest was made by
Japan against these acts, but under one
preteyt or another the Chinese govern
ment failed to take serious steps to co..
rect them.
Since the breaking out of trouble in
Manchuria IN September these anti
japanese acts have assumed violent
PROPORTIONS and have irritated the jap
snese in Shanghai recently to a very
high degree On January 10 came the
attack on the japanese monks, and the
patience of the japanese people finally
gave way.
When called upon to dissolve the anti
japanese associations, the mayor OF
Shanghai said it was impossible to do so
at once While he was delaying his
answer these associations were only
intensifying their agitation, and prepa-
rations for hostilities were being made
by the Chinese. Their defense works
we're being secretly prepared at all i'm
portant points.

HITLER ACCEPTS
BRUEN|NG'S CALL
Possible Healing Of Breach
Seen in Conference
at Berlin.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, January 7.-Chancellor
Bruening received Ad6lf Hitler, militant
leader of the National Socialists, this
evening in conference to discuss this
years presidential elections and other
pressing political matters.
Gen. Wilhelm Groener, minister of
defense, also was present and the three
men talked for an hour and a half.
They said nothing for publication
about what conclusions they had
reached, but it was understood the
chancellor sought Hitler's support for
plan to prolong the term of President
von Hindenburg, in return for certain
political concessions to the National
Socialists.
Denial Brings Confusion.
1t was said that Gen Groener had
conferred with Hitler yesterday and
that they arranged for the meeting
with the chancellor today
There was some confusion in con-
nection with announcements of the
meeting Two German news agencies
disclosed that it had been scheduled,
then an announcement, presumably
from the chancellor's secretary, said
DR.. Bruening had no intention of re-
ceiVing Hitler.
1t was believed that these contradic-
tions were an effort by the staff at the
chancellory to throw the photographers
off the trail.
Unity Urged for Parleys.
The possibility of a healing of the
breach has been indicated recently in
some Nationalist papers, which have
called upon both the National Socialists
and the Nationalists to extend the olive
branch TO the government to enable the
chancellor to present united German
front to the world during the coming
international conference on reparationS
and war debts.
There was no indication in the an
nouncement as to when and where the
meeting would be held. Political circles
buzzed with speculation over whether
Hitler would be permitted TO name a
cabinet minister as part Of the reported
bargain in exchange for National So
cialist support.
Need for Harmony Seen.
The Reichstag conVeneS again next
month and political observers said they
saw the necessity for the National So
cialists and the Nationalists to make
some ARRANGEMENT under which they
might feel justified In participating
again in the legislative deliberations
which they have totally ignored for
some time.

TOXIC, January z (P).-Sir Oswald

the Japanese foreign Office today to
inquire about impairment of the Brit
ish interest in the Peiping- Mukden
Railway in Manchuria by the action of
the japanese Army in retaining the
railways receipts.
1t was understood, an undersecretary
explained, the army has sequester2d the
money temporarily in order to keep it
from falling into the hands of Marchal

shall Chang has withdrawn, it would be

of their visits were not related in any

In spite Of reports to the contrary
from the United States, there was evil
dent here no indication that the three

CABINET SHAKE-UP
LOOMS IN FRANCE
Maginot Dies, Brands
Health Fails, With Impor-
tant Conferences Near.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January IA French cabinet
shake-up on the eve of two important
international conferences may follow
the death early today Of Andre Maginot,
6-foot former army top kick" who held
the post OF war minister.
The question was complicated by the
health Of the veteran foreign minister,
Aristide BRAND, which, some Paris
morning papers said, Is so poor as TO
make it impossible for him to stand the
strain Of conferences.
Papers of such widely different politi-
cal views as LIE Matin, LIE Journal and
L'Oeuvre predicted another delegate
would have to be chosen in M. BRAND S
place for the coming disarmament par
ley at Geneva.
M. Maginot died at 2 am, of typhoid
fever, with complications. During the
day he had shown marked improvement
and the end was unexpected, although
his condition had been considered seri-
Gus for days.
Built Up Frontier Defenses.
He was 54 years old. His political ca
reer developed since the war, during
which he enlisted in the army as a pri-
vate and became a top sergeant. He
was known as somewhat hard
boiled" but popular and picturesque
minister, stressing the need of Frances
military frontier defenSes, which he
built up. He was made minister of war
for the first time by former Premier
Poincare in 1922.
He walked with a limp from a Ger
man bullet which pierced his thigh at
Verdun and his sentiments toward the
former enemy were not exactly tender.
The names of Andre Tardieu and
Paul Painleve, both former premiers,
were put forward in political circles
today as possible successors of Maginot.
Cabinet Holds Meeting.
One of the first to pay his respects
to the dead war minister was Count
Quinones de Leon, who was Ambassador
from Spain during the days when Al
fonso XIII still occupied the throne
There were many others of renown
during the day, for, in spite of Maginot's
strong opinions and his way Of ex-
pressing them, he was what the French
called very sympathetic"
The cabinet at its meeting today de-
cided to adjourn its projected meeting
of the superior council of national de-
fense until tomorrow. 1t took no action
on a change of membership and merely
voted officially to hold national fu-
neral for M. Maginot, probably Sunday.
Mr.. BRAND, who is under special
treatment at his residence in the min
istry of foreign affairs, was not able to
attend the cabinet session.
Parliament Is due to convene jan
uary IL,
