Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, who went

Gen Hugh S. johnson. national re-
covery administrator. and was prom
ised an immediate investigation. The
mayor asked that a regional code for

formulated
While the mayor was seeking Fed

ployes Of the Fifth Avenue Coach Co

Drivers appeared for duty today, how
ever, as usual.
Many independent taxicab drivers,
who had kept their machines OF the
streets in sympathy with striking
union drivers, were ready to resume
today. Abraham Weisinger. president
of the Associated Taxicab Industries
Union. representing the independents
said $500 independent cabs would

it is substantially correct, neverthe-

A few days later the Berlin dis

If Mr. Roosevelt had chosen to
send even a secret note about that
matter. he probably would have failed
to attain his objective
The Germans would have been
angry. Hitler would have lost face
with his own people by yielding to
pressure. The thing probably would
have become lost in the meaningless
words of diplomatic correspondence
and action delayed for months and
possibly forever That IS what usually
happens in such cases.
Handling it the way he did, Mr..
Roosevelt brought a personal element
into diplomacy where it never existed
before. In this initial case, at any
rate, it worked out well.

Japanese Foreign Minister
Investigates Suspected
Military Base Aid.
D. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC. February 6-Koki Hirota
foreign minister, told the House OF
Peers today that Japan is endeavor- =
ing to learn whether a secret treaty
exists between the United States and
China which obliges Americans to
assist In Chinas aviation develop
ment.
The foreign minister said the for
eign office and the Japanese Army
also were seeking to determine
whether American financial partici-
patton in the new airlines southwark
from Shanghai constitutes a viola
tion Of Chinas old promises to Japan
not to ALLEVIATE any portion OF the

(The American Always. the
international United States airline,
recently went into partnership with
the Chinese government to establish
an air route in China Mail and pas
senger planes, piloted by Americans,
are now In regular operation over the
routeS)
Hirota's statement was in answer
to a question by Atsushi Akaike. who
with American backing has been es-
tablishing air bases at Annoy and
elsewhere in Fukien Province, from
which bombing planes could easily
attack Formosa.
Hirota replied: If these assertions
are correct it appears that China is
violating her pledge not to employ
foreign capital in the establishment
of military bases along the Fukien
coast, but careful investigation is
necessary to determine whether the
airlines are commercial or military
The japanese contend the ex-
changes of notes April 26. 1898. and
May IS, 1915, constituted Chinese
pledges concerning Fukien Province
in which Japan claims a special in
