Leaders of Democratic Party in Waterbury Are in Favor of the Former Standard Bearer for the Nomination

Existence of a wide split in the democratic ranks of Connecticut upon the question of who shall re- ceive the support of the delegates from this state to the national convention for the presidential nomination, which has been re- ported consistently for sometime past by the Democrat, took on even more definite form today as result of ex-Governor Alfred F.. Smiths announcement today that while he is not q candidate he is willing to accept the position as standard bearer once more if the party desires him to.

NEUTRAL ZONES IS LATEST BOLD
 MOVE OF JAPAN
Asks International Coz operation to Create Such a Plan-All Lead= ing Chinese Cities Would Be Affected
BY NILES w. VAUGHN Copyright, 1882 by United Prcss)

~-~-S
 Tokio, Feb 8-International CO., operation to create and maintain neutral zones around Shanghai and other major cities in China was proposed in bold move by Japan today.
 The United Press learned from official sources that the country's representative abroad had been in structed to use "suitable occa- sion" to broach the suggestion.
 Neutral zones between 15 and 20 miles would be established around Shanghai. Canton, Tsingtao, Han- Row and Tientsin.
 The neutral zones idea envisages virtual administration of China To be successful, it would have to make China's war lords impotent rendering it impossible for them to control the cities mentioned. With out these cities, the war lords could not support extensive armies.
 The scheme would first be ap- piled to Shanghai. and later ex- tended to the other cities, the spokesman explained.
 It would be developed and put into effect at whatever conference Is held to l1quidate the present Shanghai situation. It's effect would be moral rather than political Japan feels.
 Japan would welcome the CO., operation of the league of nations in affecting this scheme. the United Press was informed. The govern ment spokesman admitted that the plan could not succeed without the support of the United States.
 The establishment of the neu- tral zones would require modifica- ton of the nine power treaty re- lating to China. This might be ar- ranged by the nine powers sigma tory to the treaty drawn up at the Washington conference in 1922.
 Japan feels that reversal of the policy decided on at the Washing ton conference 10 years ago Is now

 Shanghai, Feb 8-(UP)- The Chinese, attacking the Japanese in a determined drive, turned their artillery tonight on the international settlement itself, the neutral area occupied by foreigners.
 The Chinese shelled the Japanese defense area of the settlement, where important American property is located. A shell fell near the Japanese consulate on the waterfront in the center of the settle ment, and another near the Japanese fiagships in the Whangp0O.
 The Chinese notified the United States consular au- thorities that, since the Jap anese were using the settle ment as a base for military operations, the Chinese could not be responsible for the safety of foreign lives and property.
 The Japanese defense area, which the Chinese were she'll ing, includes such important American property as the Central China Baptist mis. sion, the Robert Dollar Co,

Editorial Comment Over Announcement
 Of Alfred E. Smith
OBy The United prcss)

Comment of leading newspapers on Former Governor Alfred F.. Smiths announcement of candi- dacy for the democratic nomination follows:
 The New York Herald Tribune. republican, praised the statement for it's "frankness and directness" as contrasted with what it termed the "p u sy footing" of Former Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 It is quite natural human emotion to crave another chance to win the highest office in the land. But, failing to get that op- portunity, MT Smith might like to have it said that he picked the nominee. He, would like to be all influential force in the framing of the p,atform-a force such as only as only q potential nominee may have.'
 The New York Times. demo- cratic. regarded as sympathetic toward the Roosevelt candidacy. commented:
 Tt is not necessary to infer that Alfred E. Smith is suffering from q bad case of that insidious and almost incurable disease, presi- dentitis. His ambition is honor able. He can scarcely be blamed for believing that he is entitled to another shot at the White House.
 Something else, however, will come back if he Is nominated for the presidency. It is a revival Of those religious prejudices which so distressed thoughtful men il' 1928. Must those forbidden yet furious passions be reused again ? If that abhorrent and un-Ameri- can dragging of religion into poli- tics were to be witnessed again so soon it would be cause of de- jection and grief to multitudes.
 The New York World-Telegram independent, said:
 The effect of the Smith move will be to make the pre-conventioh campaign q real contest. Only on such a contest can the issues be
