CHARGE JAPAN
|SFORT|FY|NG
ISLAND GROUP
League Of Nations Calls For
Explanation OF Activities In
South Sea Mandate

GENEVA. Nov. s. U.P)-The Lea
sue of Nations permanent mandates
commission insisted today that ia
pan give a satisfactory explanation
of expenditure of large sums of
money for harbors and airports on
South Sea Islands which she holds
under mandate. Charges that Japan
is fortifying the isles were aired.
Insistence Oh a satisfactory ex-
plapation came after the members
of the mandates commission ques-
toned Nobubumi Ito, Japanese dele
gate, at length concerning the
islands.
Ito denied the islands were being
fortified.
The islands comprise vast area
in the Pacific north of Australia,
lying Stratcgically between Hawaii
and the Philippines.
They include the Marshall. Caro-
line, Pelew and Mariana groups
with a population of about 10000.
Britain and Australia hold man
dates in the same region, and the
United States has rights in Guam
and zap
The islands formerly were Ger
man possessions which were seized
during the war.
The bulk of them were inundated
TO Japan by the league in 1922.
Retains Islands
When Japan withdrew from the
league last year. the question arose
CT her right tc retain the islands,
Japan indicated she would not give
them up, regarding them as her
rightful share Of the Spoils of war.
Charges that Japan was enlarg.
ing the inundated harbors TO &C.
commodate warships were met with
the emphatic assertion that the i'm,
proyements were for the benefit Of
the fishing trade.
The United States and other ma
tions maintain that Japan is mere.
ly custodian for the league. and
that her withdrawal from the lea
que implies relinqui5hing the islands.
The United States has never ad.
mitted that the league mandate
gives the island outright to Japan.
Ito denied the charges, in response
to request by William Rappord
of Switzerland, for an explanation
of the large sums being spent on
| harborS.
Ito also denied that Christian mis-.
| sionaries were barred from landing
| in the islands.

Campaign Manager Predicts

To 35O,OOO Votes
SINCLAIR GROUP HARD HIT
coldness OF National Admins
tration Proves Big Handicap
For Epic" Crowd
BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY

BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
United Press staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. with
CALIFORNIA; amazing campaign fer
the governorship within ID hours
of its finale, campaign managers
made their usual loud claims of
victory today but the average Vot-
er saw two outstanding develop
ments emerging from the rapid fire
of political maneuvering during the
last three weeks.
These we're:
That the national administrator
almost surely had shaken itself
loose from association with the
Democratic state ticket in Califor-
MIA and from the Democratic par
tY in this state in the event the
party is to be controlled by the
Upton Sinclair element.
That whatever the outcome Of
the election, the "standpat" ele-
ments in beth Republican and De-
mocratic parties have received
sharp lesson and a general renoVa-
ton and liberalizing of the two
parties within the state is almost
certain to follow.
Richard w. Barrett, campaign
manager for Gov Frank F. Mer-
riam. Republican. upon whom the
anti-Sinclair clement have CEN
| tered their support, issued a de
tailed prediction of the outcome of
! the election on Tuesday. He said
that northern California would give
! Merriam from 10000 to 100000
majority: that Merriam would car
ry Los Angeles county by between
10000 and 10000 and would obtain
sufficient additional majority i'll
ether Southern California counties
| to elect him by between 325.0 900 and
100000
Depend On "SiIent. Vote"
Sinclair managers, while not re-
ducing their claims to anything as
detailed as the Merriam leaders
did, maintained that a great sweep
from the silent voters would car
| ry their candidate into office and
that California would see the
Epic" plan of Upton Sinclair be-
come the ruling policy of its state
government.
Most observers were inclined to
the belief that developments since
October 10 had made Merriams
| victory reasonably certain. Betting
odds were at even money that The
Republican would win by 100000.
Probably the coup Gle grace was
given the Sinclair campaign by the
! Roosevelt Democratic leaders. A
month ago Sinclair hac pretty
much the best of it. Organized De-
mocratic support was with him
