JAPANESE PLAY
Willy ROLE TO
AVOID BOYCOTT
Breakdown at Shanghai Will
Improve Her Position
automatically.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-HOward Foreign Editor

Scripps-H0ward Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Ja-
pans partial backdown at Shang-
hal will not bring to an end the
Sino-Japanese conflict, even if the
peace moves there succeed, in the
opinion of observers here.
Confronted with the strong pos
sibility of international isolation
and a worldwide boycott at the
hands Of the League of Nations
day after tomorrow, Nippon is seen
as making an eleventh-hour effort
to head off the growing demand for
sanctions.
If a truce can be arranged at
Shanghai without too much loss of
face, Japan stands to strengthen
her position tremendously, so far
as the great powers r concerned
that is to say, automatically.
At the same time she will free
her hand for consolidating her hold
on Manchuria and Eastern
Mongolia.
Small Nations Demand Action
A bloody Japanese offensive at
Shanghai we'll might force the
league assembly to apply Article Is
of the covenant. despite the OPPOSE
ton of Great Britain and France.
There are lfty-four members of
the league, with representatives al
ready waiting in Geneva. The
great majority of these nations are
said to be out of patience with what
they charge is the weakness of the
league council. They r insisting
on sanctions, beginning with the
withdrawal of ambassadors from
Toxic and the boycott.
Britain and France have been
trying to hold the smaller nations
back, but while they have succeed
ed thus far in doing so, it was by
no means certain that they could
continue to stem the tide after the
assembly InG6bS IIluISOdy.
World Opinion Split
On the question of Japan'S Man
churian activities, world opinion is
divided. The United States is hos
tile to annexation, but Europe cares
little what happens there. The only
European power claiming a sphere
of interest in that region is Russia,
For the most part, the rest of Eu-
rope would welcome japanese in
reference.
Britain and France are the only
two European powers, aside from
Russia, in a position to oppose
Japan in Manchuria. And they will
not oppose her. Their interests are
in middle and south China.
Russia, it is believed, was not
without influence in the situation
at Shanghai. Reports from widely
separated sources indicate that
Russia is far from the disinterested
party she thus far has pretended
to be.

WASHINGTON. March Just
how safe is travel on Americas air
transport lines?
Are the operators exercising every
possible precaution? viii air travel
grow safer in the future? What
about the parachute?
These questions are being asked
with increasing concern, following
the recent series of disastrous win
ter accidents in the west.
An analysis Of all fatal accidents
on the airline since the beginning
Of 1881 should give some light on
The subject.
In the last fourteen months.
there have been nineteen fatal
crashes-ten Of them involving pas
sengers, the other nine mail pilots
only. Total fatality list-51 persons,
divided into 80 passengers and Is
pilots.
Caused by Weather
Of these nineteen crashes, all but
Two were caused by bad weather. In
most cases weather was the sole
cause; IN some cases weather was
combined with structural failure. OF
errors in plotting, or the mere
whims of fate.
But in seventeen of the nineteen
fatal crashes bad weather was The
original cause of the trouble.
From that, it would appear that
airline planes are trying to push
through too dangerous weather.
There is some background for
such a belief. Airline traffic is
really absurdly light. The operators
are trying desperately to build up
traffic.
1t generally is agreed that the
public en- masse shuns air travel
not so much because of fear or cost
as the irregularity and undependa-
bility of the service. Often one
hears the remark; If you have to
be somewhere at a certain time, you
better take a train"
Caution Sometimes Violated
So, it is not -inconceivable that
The airlines. in their desire to set
up a record of dependability that
would approach that of train serv-
ice, occasionally might go a shade
past the line of strictest caution.
Seventeen fatal weather crashes in
fourteen months would seem to bear
that out.
No airline operator or pilot, of
course, consciously pushes into
weather from which he knows he
won't come back. Pilots are not
eager to die. Operators desire safe
ty as much as any one else, for
every crash hurts their business.
Most airplanes and pilots obey as
closely as possible the commerce
departments regulations concerning
flying in bad weather.
Still, chances are taken and it
can not be denied. The govern
ment could set up 10000 rules and
AC5uldJlO4lSY dIlQ yGO OllG HllIluO6 n
plane is off the ground, the pilot is
on his own"
Up to Pilot
He alone is aware of the con
ditions under which he is flying; he
alone can make his decisions, gov
eminent legislators can't make them
for him then.
Taking chances" undoubtedly
caused some of the seventeen fatal
weather crashes. Others undoubted-
ly we're unavoidable.
But safety and safety measures
constantly are increasing. The gov
eminent. as well as the airlines
themselves, is surrounding aviation
with a maze of precautions and
safety devices.
Millions of miles now are flown
for every fatal crash. During the
fourteen months in which those
nineteen crashes killed f1fty-one
people, the airlines of this country
flew approximately $4,000, 900 miles
and carried more than half a million
passengers.

A THOUGH there is a pro-
"A nounced tendency among the
supporters of Paul V. McNutt to
disparage and discount the strength
or the effect of the candidates. Of
Mayor Wood Posey of Terre Haute,
and John Friedrich, Kokomo manu-
f%acturer, for the Democratic Gov
ernor nomination, they would bet
ter not kid themselves.
True enough that McNutt is out
in front, but Posey and Friedrich are
late starters and have not had OPP
portunity to complete their organ
izations.
Posey has the advantage of
having as campaign manager Little
Dick Werneke, veteran of many a
political fray, whose a%stuteness
never has been discounted by his
opponents.
Fredrick's record in the 1926 and
1928 campaigns shows that he never
has been niggardly with his x
penditures.
Money never is a bad thing to
have in politics, in a primary or a
battle for delegates.
Those close to Werneke declare
that he is positive that Posey will
come into the convention with at
least $50 votes; while Fredrick's
friends say there is possibility that
he may have enough to effect a
deadlock.
OF course, Marion county holds
the key position, with it's 205 dele
gates.
The dope is that leaders of the
Marion county organization intend
to cast at least 100 votes for Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan, as a COM
plimentary gesture.
Sullivan has gained friends by his
vigorous fight against the utilities,
and if other candidates do not take
an outspoken stand against the
gouging tactics of the power inter-
ests, the Indianapolis mayor may
get the benefit of a concerted move
ment for nomination.
