CHINESE SAY POLICY
is DOMESTIC PEACE

NANKING, April 20.-UP)-
China challenges Jaran's attempt
to interfere in Chinese affairs, a
foreign office spokesman told the
United Press today.
The Japanese foreign office
statement warning against for
eign military or aviation assls-
lance to China as subversive to
peace in the Far East, drew the
following comments from the Chi
nese spokesman:
Nations without Interior mo-
tives need not fear China's policy.
No state has the right to claim
exclusive responsibility for main
tanning peace in any section of
the world.
"Foreign loans and technical
assistance to China have been
strictly non-political.
Purchase of military equip
ment and airplanes, and employ
ment of military instructors have
been solely for purposes of ma.
tional defense, and chiefly fol
maintenance of internal peace
The Chinese press voiced ap,
prehension over the Japanese pro-
nouncement.

ALABAMA COAL
MEN DENOUNCE
CEN. JOHNSON
BY International News Service


Charging that Recovery Ad-
ministrator Hugh s. johnson had
"railroaded" the seven-hour day
upon the bituminous coal indus
try, with no opportunity for pro-
test afforded the operators, a
group of Alabama operators to-
day demanded immediate reScind-
ing pending full hearings on the
proposal.
The charges were voiced by
Forney Johnston, representing
the Alabama operators, at the
opening Of hearings on the new
scale and time amendments to
the soft coal code. Mr.. Johnston
linked both the administrator and
the bituminous coal code au-
thority in his ''railroading" accu-
Sation.
When the seven-hour day was
decreed as an amendment to the
bituminous coal code, the ad-
ministrator made it effective i'm
mediately-tSubject to possible
modification after the public
hearing scheduled for April g."
Mr.. Johnston charged the ad-
ministrator with decreeing "arbi-
trary rulings" He pointed out
that the Southern operators had
yielded to the soft coal code
because its covenants were pre-
sumed to guarantee them hear
ings before the institution Of
new amendments.
The Seven-hour day amend
ment, he said, had been imposed
upon Southern operators by an
uninformed code authority which,
he claimed. "had not made a
study Of conditions in the South. .
