Michigan's patronage scandal"
which already has resulted in the
resignation of the Detroit internal
revenue collector and the suspen-
sion of two subordinateS, took a
new turn today when Senator
Vandenberg (R.) of Michigan
charged that a group of Michigan
Democrats had solicited political
campaign funds from officials OF
banks seeking admission to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration.
Terming the solicitors political
chiselers," Senator Vandenberg
protested against the FDIC being
"prostituted to political cash
register purposes"
Against Interference
Leo Crowley, chairman Of the
FDIC, had declared he would not
stand for political interference
with the corporation, Senator
Vandenberg added. He quoted
Crowley as saying:
81 would not c0untenance any
interference with the operation
of this corporation from out
side sources, believing that all
applications for membership to

LONDON, May rs UN.SO.
"Will War Gomez" is the ques'
tion which today more than ever
has assumed the dominant role
in the politics Of Europe and
Asia. .,
And today in London, this
prime, cumulative basin for IN,
formation, the fact has emerged
indubitably that it is the SoVletS
fear of a JapaneSe-German mill
tary understanding which lies
back of the unprecedented pro
posal Of Maxim Ltvinoff, SOVIET
commissar for foreign affairs: 10
join France in a pact OF mutual
assistance and, perhaps, to Jom
the League of Nations.
Like Pre-War Pact
In plain terms, the pact Lit,
vinoff appears to have proposeo
is a straight-out military am
ance, differing in no essentlal
particular from the pre-War
Franco Russian pact.
Nothing but the strongest mo
tives could induce the SoVieC
Union thus to depart from lts
traditional refusal to ally 1IseA1
with bourgeois states.
The urgent motive may be as
covered in the story when
whether true or not. 1llumlnaCes
the fears the Soviet Union shares
with France.
Jap Visit Recalled
It may be remembered that a
certain Japanese admiral, Vlsltlng
Berlin on May 8, delivered an ad-
dress before the German-Japanese
Association in which he declared
ssour japanese Fatherland finds
itself today in approximately the
same position as Germany was
before the war"
Inspired German commentaries
remarked that, despite distance
and differences, "there Is between
japan and Germany an undenl.
able relationship Of thought ana
feeling which finds particular ex-
preston in an exalted view OF the
mission of the state" .
This Japanese admiral, VISITING
London en- route, finally reached
Angora.
jap Aims Dark
There, he urged persistently
upon Kemal Pasha the advantages
of turkey joining Germany, Japan
and Poland for the partition OF
Russia and the redistribution OF
the territory surrounding the Bal
tic Sea.
The admiral failed to mention
what Japan would get. Turkey
however, is much too friendly to
the Soviet Union to entertain
such suggestions.
It may be that the Japanese
admiral was merely trying to gain
a new customer. But the sense OF
the conversation, as repeated IN
London, is that it is the real
reason for M, Litvinoff'S proposals.

bloodshed, and the prospect of a
