DR.. LANG ASSA|[S
FAR EAST REPORT
Chinese Leader Declares 1t
Ignores adverse Affect of
Japanese Aggression"

The Lytton report on the japanese
activities in Manchuria was criticized
as placing "deplorable lack OF empha--
sis on the sweeping and adverse effect
of japanese aggression on the political
and economic stability Of member
state cf the League Of Nations" in a
radio address last night over Station
WMAL and a Nationwide network OF
the Columbia Broadcasting System by
DR.. Yuen-Li Liang. He is to be one
of China's pleaders before the Assem-
bly, of the League. at Geneva Novem-
Der IA, at which time the Lytton report
will be considered.
DR.. LANG formerly was judge OF
the court of appeals at Shanghai,
China; professor of international law
at the Comparative School OF China,
at Shanghai, and technical delegate to
the League of Nations Assembly IN
1929
He reviewed the formation of the
Lytton commission and pictured the
consequences of the settlement pro-
posed in it, declaring the proposal OF
the commission had been anticipated
by an influential body of Chinese
political opinion before the report was
made public.
The speaker said that last year Wang
Ching-Wei and Eugene Chen. leaders
of the Chinese Nationalist movement,
suggested the creation of a special
civilian administration for Manchurla
last year and urged demilitarization OF
that vast portion of China. He said
unofficially it was his opinion the Chi
nese government would espouse in prin-
ciple the Lytton report because China
has been imploring for long time tor
a peaceful settlement of the whole
Manchurian question.
| DR.. LANG said he doubted however
whether direct negotiation between ia
pan and China without any participa-
ton of mutual observers of interna-
tional outlook would be welcomed ir
China.
He said he doubted the reliability o1

japanese promises and recalled that
when Japan assured Secretary of State
Stimson that the United States need
have no fear of Japan's advancing as
far as Chinchow last December, the
japanese minister of war already was
looking intently on the map and that
strategic city just below the great wall
and contemplating with silent delight
the success of his operations"
Dr. Liang concluded with an appeal
for the support of the Lytton report i'll
the spirit of the address of Secretary
Stimson on August g.
1T is yet possible he said, ito add
to the report the original idea of the
League, the idea that a conflict in one
part of the world is of serious concern
to the whole world and that no longer
can a circle be thrown around the two
djsputant parties as if they were the
subjects of hygienic and effective iso-
lation."

CONVICT COURSON
|NSWEAT BOX CASE
Jurors Accept Story of Hig.

BY the Associated Press.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, October Is
George w. Courson, who testified In the
sweat box murder trial that his atti-
tude toward Arthur Maillefert, young
prisoner, was that of benign father,
was found guilty CT manslaughter today,
but the jury accepted Solomon Higgin-
bothams story that he applied the gol-
den rule in handling Maillefert and ac-
quilted him.
The two former guards were charged
with f1rst-degree murder for the death
of the Westfield, N. j., youth, strangled
to death in a sweat box at Sunbeam
Prison Camp last June 3, his feet in
stocks and hanging by his neck on a
chain locked around rafter overhead.
The jury deliberated only two hours
and 16 minutes. The verdict was re-
ceived with no demonstration in the
feet on Mrs. Julia Maillefert, mourning
clad mother of the dead youth. Mrs.
Maillefert, silent, but often weeping
quietly as stories of tortures alleged to
have been inflicted on her son were
told from the witness stand, had sat
at the State counsel's table through
the two weeks of the trial
Appeal Notice Filed.
Counsel for Courson filed notice of
an application for new trial as soon as
the verdict was read. The 285-pound
former captain of the camp where
Maillefert died said he hoped for bet

Wigginbotham. younger and much
smaller. was automatically released by
the verdict.
Mrs Maillefert had nothing to say
about the outcome of the case at this
time"
William Maillefert. brother of the dead
prisoner. supported his mother with an
arm around her shoulder as the jury
filed in. When the verdict was read
he went to States Attorney Charles
Durrance to inquire what the minimum
penalty for manslaughter is. The prose
cutor told him the penalty is two tc
twenty years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Pro-
Chinese sentiment developing in
congress showed itself definitely to-
day, following publication of Sec
rotary Stimson's announcement
that the United States will not
recognize territorial or political
changes effected by force of Japa-
nese arms or pressure.
The Stimson statement, the most
forceful he has made concerning the
Sino-Japanese conflict, was received
with acclaim by Republicans and
Democrats, as well as by progress
sives and conservatives.
1t was regarded generally as an
effort to mobilize public sentiment
behind the peace machinery of the
world, and to dissuade Japan from
continuing warlike aggression
around Shanghai.
Even the suggestion that contin-
ued violation of the Kellogg pact
and the n~ine-power treaty might
force this country to build a larger
navy than disarmament agreements
permit, and to fortify Guam and
the Philippines, appealed to Demo-
Gratis and Republicans.

they struck because of a drastic
wage cut.
Cords action had stirred I'D a
hornets nest of indignation in Con-
gresS. More than twenty congress-
men sent both pleading and threat
ening kilograms to Cord. He ignored
them all.
But Tuesday he came to the
Capital. And the news that greeted
him was not pleasant.
Two of the most influential men
in the house, as regards air mail
told him that the labor situation
he has created is hindering not onlv
himself, but all other independent
airlines.
They made it clear that he is en-
b~arraSsing them in their efforts to
secure legislation which would force
the postoffice department to open
up the air mail field, and award
contracts outside the "air mail
trust"
They told him that congress
never would sanction the giving of
government subsidies to a line that
breaks employees wages down below
a reasonable level.
The two congressman were Rep
resentative Clyde Kelly Rep. Pa.),
father of nearly all the country's
air mail legislation, and Chairman
Mead, of the house postoffice COM
mittee. Both have been active in
behalf of the ~so-called "indepen-
dent" airlines.
Mead is preparing a bill to liber-
alize the air mail contract laws,
The bill would benefit Cord lines
and others.
But unless Cord restores his old
wage scale, and takes back the
twenty-five pilots he discharged,
there is little chance of it going
through.
