right of self-defense may extend beyond
ercises that right. Japan's action is
essentially identical with the action that
other powers have taken elsewhere
under similar circumstances.
The minister went on the say that
Manchukuo had come into being as
result of separatist movements with
In China herself, and denied that Japan
was seeking to annex Manchuria or
otherwise satisfy her thirst for land"
He took note of a plan ''in certain
quarters" to patch up matters for the
moment" by investing China with some
form of authority over Manchuria, and
declared that the people Of japan would
never consent to the idea.
For over 20 years Japan continued
to exercise the greatest patience and
moderation in the hope that some day
China might soberly undertake the
task of rehabilitating her fortunes and
playing her proper role in the mainte-
nance of peace in the Far East.
China failed, however, to show any
sincere desire to reciprocate our good
will and kindly sentiments, but in
creased more than ever in her arro-
gance and intolerance. We had
no alternative other than to resort to
q measure of self-defense.
Those who seek to place upon Japan
the responsibility for the Manchurian
revolution by tracing the independence
of Manchukuo directly to our military
operations simply labor under ignorance
of the facts and their opinions alto
gether miss the point.
Again, as regards those who fancy
they detect a secret connection of some
nf with the
foundation of the new state, basing
their suspicious on the fact that there
are in fact a number of japanese in
the employ of the Manchukuo govern
ment, I need only point to the exist
ence of many precedents for the en-
liStment by the young government or
newly founded states of the services OF
foreigners"
Repeating emphatically that It's recog-
milton would not be violation OF the
nine power treaty, he asserted:
"Of course, it would be a different
matter on the assumption that Japan
was seeking to annex Manchuria or
otherwise satisfy her thirst for land.
Only 1 hardly need to waste words in
once more disclaiming at this juncture
any territorial designs on our part in
Manchuria or anywhere else"
Turning again to ''the conditions pre-
vailing in China proper" the foreign
minister said: LAS an anti-foreign, es-
pecially an anti-Japanese, movement
still continues unabated, further COM
plications are likely to arise in the
foreign relations Of China, which, in
turn, will make her internal confusion
worse confounded."
He added: "It is my fervent hope
that the day is not far distant when
Japan, Manchukuo and China, as three
independent powers closely linked to-
gether by bond Of cultural and racial
affinities, will come to cooperate hand
in hand for the maintenance and ad-
vancement of the peace and prosperity
of the Far East as well as for the
peace Of the world and the civilization
of mankind

BEUTHEN, Germany, August 25.-
Rioting which followed Tuesdays death
sentence against five Fascist political
slayers continued through last night,
and at dawn today 20 persons had been
injured in varying degrees.
Street fighting continued spasmodical-
ly following the attempt of group OF
Adolf Hitler's Fascists to stage dem
onstration when the rumor spread that
the five condemned Hitler followers
would be taken from the local Jail to a
penitentiary. During the struggle with
police windows in several Jewish stores
were smashed with stones.
Meanwhile, Premier Lukaschek Of Up
per Silesia issued two DEGREES intended
to cope with the situation. One forbade
transportation of political groups in
huge buses, and another prohibited po-
itical haranguing in the streets. The
penalty was fine of $50 marks (cur-
rently about $36).
The five Nazi followers were con-
victed in a Speed Court" of the muir
der of a Communist in the disorders
that marked the latest German election
campaign. The Speed Courts were es-
tablished under Reich emergency de-
cree August designed to put a stop
to political disorders, which had been
taking hundreds of lives. The decree
eliminated the delay of appeals, and
the government remained the sole judge
of any verdict.
Adolf Hitler led of in powerful
wave OF protests against the convictions.
declaring their freedom was point Of
honor with the EaZis. The government
thereupon issued q manifesto declaring
its decision would be based on the laws
OF the Reich and that coercion would

The problem Of deciding whether

the corporation board and its Engineer

Guilty.
Among the prospects suggested to the
board for financing are two bridges
at San Francisco and several over the
Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, includ-
ing one between Omaha, Nebr., and
Council Bluffs. Iowa. Slum eradication
projects in New York, st. Louis and
other cities also have been proposed
The destitution relief section of the

DIET SCORED BY BRACHT.
Little More Than Dummy Organization,
SAYS Prussian Official.

BERLIN, August rs (P.-Franz
Bracht. federal commissioner for Prus-
sia, today told Hans Kerrl, president OF
thQ Prussian Diet, that that body Is
little more than a dummy organization
to which the acting Prussian cabinet
does not regard itself as responsible.
The cabinet was set up at the direc-
ton of President Won Hindenburg, the
commissioner said, and is responsible
cnly to him. 1t is willing to appear
before the Diet, but that would be
merely a matter Of courtesy. The Diet
Is to assemble on August 30.
On that date the national Reichstag
will have its nrst meeting and will be
opened, according to tradition, by its
oldest member, In this case, Clara
Zetkin, a member Of the Communist
party.
Newspapers of the Right are indig-
nant at the announcement that she
will preside as speaker protein even
for a single day. They have suggested
that the police should prevent this
insult to nationalist Germany"
It has been said that the govern
ment hopes the woman's appearance
in the chair may provoke row during
which the Reichstag would blow up
before it got started, thus giving the
cabinet an opportunity to dissolve the
Parliament Immediately and govern as
a practical dictatorship until further
notice.
Meantime there has been no abate-
ment of the political discord which mas
been responsible for repeated riots. Al

Diet Scored by Bracht.
The Nazi threat Of violence that fol-
lowed the death verdict at Breuther
against five of Adolf Hitler's followers
today loomed as a barrier to a Centrist-
National Socialist coalition.
Nevertheless, a conference preparatory
to the opening of the Reichstag and the
Prussian diet next Tuesday was reported
held yesterday between former Chancel'
lor Heinrich Bruening. the Centrist
leader, and Gregor Strasser, the Fascist
lieutenant.
Their meeting was informal, and they
were believed TO have made no progress
especially in the light of Centrist appre.
hension of National Socialist threats Of
violence.
A coalition between the National So
cialists (Nazis) and the Centrists woulc
control both the Diet and the Reichs-
tag, since the Nazis won 81 per cent Of
| the seats in beth of those parliamentS
in recent elections, and the Centrists
held enough to put the percentage well
over so.
Meanwhile, the president Of the po-
lice Issued an order Of suspension
against the newspaper. Der AngTiff, an
organ of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler
lieutenant.
The suspension, to last one week, was
ordered on the ground that the organ

Change Directed in
Order of Sacramento

Vatican City, Aug. 9. - (P) - The
Congregation of SacramentS of the
Catholic church issued a decree Tues
day providing that confirmation must
precede first Holy Communion. Is
suance of the decree was announced
by Monsignor Arturo Mazzoni, under
secretary of the congregation.
The decree will be effective In the
United States.
Confirming what was reported
Monday, Monsignor Mazzoni said:
This decree is designed to make
the order of these sacraments uniform
throughout the world.
In the United States, the chief
difficulty heretofore has been the
large size of the dioceses which has
prevented the bishop from getting
around frequently to the parishes to
administer confirmation"
THE decree now states that con-
firmation must be given as soon as
the child reaches age of religion,
that is, about seven or possibly six
and one-half years. Then the first
communion follows"

REINFORCEMENT
AIDS REPUBLICANS
IN ELECTION Fight
Normally Republican Stat 9 s
Gain Electoral Votes as
Census Result

Washington, Aug. 9.-(P)-Reappor
tionment of house representation has
resulted in q possible Republican gain
of IL votes in the new electoral COL
lege.
This big shift in the voting strength
of 80 states may have unusual bearing
on the outcome of the approaching
presidential election.
It was brought about by the trans
fer of q congressional seats from 81
to IL states through reapportionment
on the basis Of the 1880 census.
Thirteen normally Republican
states lost IS seats but seven gained
81 increasing their total by six. Eight
normally Democratic states lost
twelve and four gained six, decreasing
their total by six. That leaves net
Republican gain Of twelve.
With this apparent gain and under
ordinary political conditions, the Re-
publican would be at an advantage in
q close contest between President Hoo
yer and Governor Franklin D. Roose-
welt.
Should this eventuate, the election
result might be thrown into dispute
when the house and senate convene
on the second Wednesday of next
February to poll the electoral college
votes. They number SOL, representing
the 435 house and SO senate seats.
Need Majority to Elect
Under the constitution, congress is
required to reapportion the represent
tatives every 10 years on the basis Of
population and each state receives as
many electoral votes as it has repre-
sentatives and senators. A majority
of the various states electoral votes
elects a president.
The Republicans gained nine votes
in President Hoover's normal Repub-
lican state of California four in
Michigan; two each in New Jersey,
New York, and Ohio, and one each in
Connecticut and Washington. But in
some staunch Republican states they
suffered, losing two each in Iowa and
Pennsylvania, and ane each in In
diana, Kansas, Maine. Minnesota,
Massachusetts,, Nebraska, Rhode
Island, North and South Dakota, Yer
mont, and Wisconsin.
Democratic gains included three in
Texas and one each in North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, and Florida. Their
losses included three in Missouri, two
each in Georgia and Kentucky, and
one each in Alabama. South Carolina,
Tennessee, and Virginia.
The congress that will be elected
under the reapportionment in Noven-
Der does not come into being until
March 4. and it is the lame duck ses-
sion of the present congress that will
pass upon the electoral votes OF the
new college.

SAYS DOLLAR WHEAT
plan IS SPREADING
Dell Willis, Sponsor OF Move
ment, Tells of Progress
in Speech Here

North Dakota's dollar wheat" cam
paign has farmers in the state solidly
behind it, Dell Willis, who conceived
the plan at Tolna a short time ago,
said in an address here Monday night.
The object of the drive is to push
the price of wheat up to 81 a bushel
by holding it off the market.
Resolutions being signed by persons
in every township in North Dakota
and left in the office of the township
board will set the minimum price on
wheat for the 1882 crop, having as its
basis the Winnipeg price plus tariff,
with the usual discount for lower
grades, Willis declared.
North Dakota is almost solidly be-
hind it while South Dakota Is working
on the same plan and work is being
done to foster it in Minnesota,
washington. Oregon, Idaho, Kansas,
Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, Willis
said.
Willis returned Monday from tour
through Montana, where he said the
plan was received with enthusiasm.
Thursday he plans to open a CAM
paign in Minnesota and next week will
tour South Dakota.
Signers of the resolution agree not
to sell their wheat for less than the
price agreed upon and when there is
demand at the price, Willis, stated,
will not sell more than 10 per cent IN
any one month. Willis said this leaves
the surplus, on the farm to be fed to
livestock.
This resolution. Willis reported. has
been adopted by nearly all commercial
clubs in North Dakota as presenting
workable solution to the problem
confronting farmers. 1t will go into
effect Aug. Is, he said.
