THIS CHANGING WORLD
Russians Say When, Not IF We Fight the Japanese
General Staff Plans to Wear Down Island Warriors

sian general staff is reported to be
considering the situation when a war
with Japan breaks out.
n X X
The japanese newspapers are
anxious to obtain first-hand informa-
ton of the real frame of mind of
the American people, and lose no
opportunity to find it out by inter-
viewing distinguished Americans when
they reach Toxic.
Last May, Mrs. Pierrepont Moffat,
wife of the chief of the Western Euro
pean Division in the State Depart
ment, arrived in Toxic to visit her
father, Joseph Grew, the American
Ambassador to Japan.
Being the wife and the daughter OF
career diplomats, Mrs. Moffat was a
very unsatisfactory subject for inter
views, and the japanese reporters
could get nothing worth printing from
her But the japanese Hve-wire re-
porters noticed the two Moffat chill
dren. Edith, the 5-year-old daughter,
seemed a wide-awake child, who had
undoubtedly not learned yet from her
diplomatic parents to be discreet. They

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The relations between the Russians
and the Japanese are as cordial as
those between two cats sitting on a
fence and splitting at each other.
Evening star., 1934-08-31

SuVpplh-
The japanese have been beating the
war drums for such long time that
they have to show their people that
there is an enemy who must be dis
posed of. The bulk of the japanese
people still think that the Russians
are as easy a game as they were 80
years ago, when the armies Of the
Car were routed by those of the
Mikado.
The Russians are over-conf1dent.
War talk in Russia is as common today
as the question What do we eat
tomorrow" People in street cars
read reports from the Far East, and
do not say eff we have a war with
Japan" but when we have the war
with Japan" And nobody through
out the territories of the Soviet Re-
publics seems to have any doubt about
the successful issue of such conflict.
In many respects the situation recalls
that of the months which 80 years ago
preceded the Russo Japanese War.
y X n n
Both sides are preparing feverishly
for it. Japan's plans are well known
to the Russian general staff. There
will be no declaration of war, but a
surprise attack by japanese airplanes
around Vladivostok, the Eastern
Gibraltar The japanese fear the
Soviet air feet and no airplane is as
vulnerable as on the ground. Dummy
airdromes around Vladivostok will
draw enemy attacks while the actual
squadrons are scattered on landing
grounds north and east of Khabarovsk,
500 miles away.
In spite of what it is said-the Rus
SLAMS will reduce to cinders the Japa-
nese town-observers say that, on the
contrary, there will be no attack OF
Japanese cities by the Soviet airmen
No one knows more Of popular war
time psychology than the Soviet lead
ers. Their object will be to undermine
the morale of the population by a
war of attrition, rather than to destroy
cities or inf1ict severe punishment on
armies.
The Russians calculate that war
WEAKNESS will end in upheaval that
will destroy the capitalist system in
Japan.
Hence. the Soviet aviation, incom-
parably superior to the japanese, will
confine itself to military objectives,
avoiding anything that might be con-
strued as ATROCITIES"
The Soviet leaders calculate on the
loss of Vladivostook, after a serious
rear guard action which will cost the
invaders many lives.
After that the Russians can settle
down to a defensive war, in which the
Japanese will have to make all the
efforts, costly as they will be, until
there is enough discomfort in Japan to
cause internal trouble.
This, at least, is the way the Rus

AMERICANS, |NC.,
TOPUSH NEW DEAL
New Organization Declared
Not in Opposition to
Liberty League.

Americans, Inc, a national non-
partisan organization, in entire SYM
pathy with the Roosevelt New Deal
program, with Offices in the Shoreham
Building, was described today by
George W. Offutt, member of the
Board of Directors, as an "educa-
tional" organization.
Mr.. Offutt, who is chairman of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board of
the District, denied that Americans,
Inc, had been set up in opposition to
the recently launched American Lib
erty League, whose purpose has been
interpreted as antagonistic to the New
Deal, although Jouett Shouse has said
that the league is not anti" any
thing.
Americans, Inc" said Mr.. Offutt,
"was incorporated two or three months
ago, and its organization was discussed
eight or nine months ago."
Officers of Organization.
The temporary president of Ameri-
cans, Inc, is Arthur Clarendon Smith
Listed among the officers and directors
in statement made at the new or
ganization's Offices today are Senators
Bulow of South Dakota and McKellar
of Tennessee, and Representatives
Steagall of Alabama, Randolph of
West Virginia, Greenway of Arizona,
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, Mrs. John
Allan Dougherty and Admiral Mark L..
Bristol. The executive director is Will
liam c. Grace ALI of the members of
Congress mentioned as members of the
organization are Democrats, and Mrs
Hartman Is the Democratic national
committeewoman for the District of
Columbia.
The statement of formation said, in
part:
Changing times have wrought
amazing changes in the Government
of the United States during the past
several months. Not only has our
Federal Government increased tremen-
dously in size, but it has recently
taken on many new functions such
as the regulation of business practices,
protection of the farmer, responsibility
for the unemployed, safeguarding of
bank deposits, an active interest in
our housing problems, pensions for the
aged, etc.
No Danger of Confusion.
The statement continued that there
was danger of confusion in the public
mind, particularly when, for political
reasons, or for selfish personal pur-
poses, conflicting reports about the
New Deal are put out. 1t deplored
the fact that some of the old school
statesmen are distorting the real pur-
poses of the New Deal.
j. M. Griffith, in charge of the
membership campaign, said at head
quarters today that meeting would
be held probably within a few weeks
to perfect a permanent organization.

"A strike in these industries is in

He said the Executive Council of

But he emphasized that. though the
code authorities were addressed, the
union prefers not to deal with them,
but with manufacturers direct. The
union has insisted that it will not be

LONDON, August 31.-Labor lead
ers said today 100000 coal miners in
Wales would walk out the night of
September 80 unless given increased
wages.
Oliver Harris, secretary of the
South Wales Miners Federation,
served notice on employers that the
present wage agreement ends on
that date.
1t was generally feared a new
agreement would be difficult to ne
gotiate and the government is keep
ing a close watch, prepared to inter-
vene to prevent a shutdown of the
mines. Closing of the mines would
endanger Britain's coal export trade.
Welsh ports export coal through
out the world, competing in many
places with local coal as well as
foreign.

The strike-threatening to become
the worst industrial conflict under the
new deal-brought a shiver of appre-
henSion to merchants whose prospects
depend on the trade Of mill workers.
Besides the workers whose pay en-
velopeS are involved, prolonged
strike would hit a terrific blow to
cotton planters and other suppliers Of
raw materials. Cotton prices in New
York hit new low ground for the pres
ent downward movement yesterday.
The whole labor union movement

Macon, Ga, Gets Head Start.
While management in some centers
reported the workers do not want to

the National Textile Workers, would
