mittee designed for "action, not words" 4"
and composed Of national leaders in
business, agriculture and industry,
opened a drive Wednesday night for
economic rehabilitation. stressing farm
relief and /stoppage of the spread of
farm foreclosures.
Charles S. Barrett, president emeritus
OF the National Farmers Union, of
Union City, Ga. summarized the aims
of the groups, known as the National
Committee on Economic Recovery, as
follows:
"Moratoriums on foreclosures are now
in effect in several States That condi-
tion is spreading rapidly and will be
countrywide unless sound solutions are
Immediately brought forward.

Replying to a bGrrage of questions

Roger Alton Pfaff, American adviser
to the mission, likened Japan's opera
tionS in Manchuria to Americas inter-
vention in behalf of American invest
ments in Mexico and Nicaragua. Japan,
he said, cannot see any difference be-
tween the Caribbean policy of the
United States and her own attitude to-
ward Manchuria.
Possibility that Japan will acquire
the new Manchukuo state is "unthink-
able" 1t was stated by T. r. Yakiyama.
Japanese investors, he said, feel they
have a right to exploit Manchukuo's
rich resources, just as any other for
yen in Japanese investments are at
stake in the present movement, he
explained
Lack Of central, organized govern
ment In China is responsible for the
condition that necessitates Japanese in
tervention, the club was told by Tad
Yamada, another member of the mis-
sion. Chinese soldiers are joining with
the Japanese in fighting bandits in
Jehol, he asserted.
Manchukuo may prove valuable
field for American investors, the club
was informed, because Japan expects
to maintain an open door" policy with
respect to trade there.
K Sumomogi blamed Sensational

he said, were that America Is land
