DEBUCHI HAS BEEN CALLED;
 RETURNS HOME
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-There vas tendency in Washington di- plomatic circles to discount reports from Tokyo that the recall of Am bassador Debuchi was due mainly to the Japanese envoy's repeated desire to return to his native land.
 It is no secret that the smiling, plump, little Japanese diplomat is fond of Washington and that his five-year assignment here, while a bit embarrassing at times, was on the whole enjoyable.
 Debuchi got off to a good start as his country's ambassador to the United States. He presented his credentials to President Coolidge in 1928 at a time when relations between the two countries were ex- ceptionally cordial
 The great Japanese earthquake had brought the two countries close together Good will tours were the order of the day.

WHY'S AND WHEREFORES

For that reason some in Wash ington believe that the reason for the Ambassadors recall is deeper than a desire on his part to return home.
 Many suggestions for his return to Tokyo are offered
 One is the possibility that De- buchi is no longer qualified to speak for the military party now dominent in Japan.
 The o Ter, more frequently put forward, was that Japan was concerned over the discussion be- tween Roosevelt and Litvinoff in regard to the recognition of Sov- jet Russia.

big general shoe strike led by the

trial Union. Defying the special
deputies hired by 1. Miller to terror
ize them, pickets who had been sta
toned at the shop for two days prior
to the strike led by the I. Millers'
Workers Strike Committee have in
duced the greater part of the fac
tory to come out and it is antici-
pated that the entire shop will be
down in the next few days.
The I. Miller Co. is making des-
perate effort to stop the strike.
Pickets who could not evade the dep
uties were pulled into the office of
the company and piled with ques-
tons, but the pickets refused to be
scared into answering. Police had
to admit there was no grounds to
arrest them. The picketing will con-
tinue until the whole shop is down,
and all the workers are united in
the fight to get rid of the yellow dog
contract and miserable wages which
prevail in the plant, the strikers say.
