MAJOR GENERAL SMEDLEY BUTLER
 IN WARM SPEECH
Spoke Before Veterans of [ Foreign Wars in Hart-
 ford Last Night

Hartford, Conn, April 2s.-(UP) Wars are 'rackets':, espoused by munitions trusts and Wall street. Major General smediey Butler. re- tired marine corps chief. told Vet erans of Foreign Wars here last night. ''The same crowd that gets up a. war and collects the profits from it," he declared. Ifs the one that calls the veterans treasury raiders when they endeavor to get the. compensation that is. denied them." He urged veterans to "drive out of office every public official who .espouses a war" and declared "a law to conscript capi- tai 60 days before conscripting sol- diers for any war, would end wars"
 The United States, he said, en- tered the World war on the side of the allies, because they owed us more than Germany, and we stood to lose if we didn't. There was a lot of talk about patriotism by those WHO Stayep aI uoIiiS " piO't from the war. When the war was on there was nothing too good for the soldier. The same crowd that now calls the veterans 'bums' sent their half-witted daughters down to dance with the soldiers"
 Butler termed the marines, with which he served more than B years, "the greatest bill collecting agency ever known" 1 wall Street." he declared, twill force Central American country to get loan and then, when it cannot or will not pay the interest, will have the marines down to oust the administrator and collect the bill. 1 know-I took part in the collection end of that racket"
 He told veterans to "stop fool ing around with local politics and stick to the congressional districts, the U. s. senators and the pres- dent" if they hoped to get any thing.
 "A new war is in the making" he said, land unless we look out we will be in it. on the side that owes us the most.".

BISHOP CANNON
 IS VERY DEFIANT
All Checks But Denies He Broke Any
 of the Laws

Washington, April 23.-(UP)- Bishop James Cannon, Jr, to-day defied the government to prove that he had been guilty of wrong doing in connection with the fin- ancipg of his 1928 campaign against Alfred E. Smith.
 Spending his fourth day on the witness stand the bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church south readily admitted under crOss- exam inatoin all the "cross check" trans- actions which Assistant United States Attorney John J. Wilson presented.
 These check deals, whereby Can- non would make withdrawals from his official committee bank ac- counts and deposit identical amounts in other accounts, are the crux of the governments case in it's attempt to prove the bishop and Miss Ada L. Burroughs, his ex- secretary guilty of conspiracy to evade the corrupt practices act.
 The white-faced bishop, out wardly calm, showed his scorn toward the charges by identifying a long list of deposit tickets. checks and bank ledger entries and by finally explaining:
 '"I haven't any doubt about any of these cross check transactions at all."

 Some small sales developed but no large business is being done. Prices are soft but without ma terial change.
 The U. s. agricultural depart ment said: Bidding has recently been more active on western wools in the Boston market. As a result of the greater interest. quotations are showing a firmer tendency. Ex-. cept for sizable transaction in Texas wools, little actual trading has developed because offers ap-s parently were kept mostly below general asking prices in order to test the market.

SUPREMACY RACE TAKING PLACE IN
 CONTROL OF ASIA
China, Russia, Britain and Japan May Come to
 Bad Clash
By FREDERICK KCH (CODyright. 1O34. by United Pressl

NOOIy EA8hAe -lWOts Uy CnhAGu hhCoSB
 London, April 23 --(UP)-A struggle for political. religious and ultimately military power is being nese Turkestan = Sinkiang - the outcome of which may be decisive in the race for supremacy in Asia.
 China, rRussia, Britain and Ja- pan are playing the leading roles in this drama, whose final act has yet to be played and whose climax may be unhappy and sanguinary.
 Russian newspapers, subject to close official control, publish sen- sational stories of British and Japanese intrigues> in Sinkiang. These, coupled with a Chinese at- tack on the British consulate gem eral at Kashgar two months ago, killed, and five injured, have cen- tered attention on the distant re- zion.
 So remote is Sinkiang, eleven times as large as New York state, did not reach the outside world for three weeks.
 It's remoteness, however, has not
 
 great powers from Sinkiang's. rich natural resources and, above all, from it's military and strategic ad- vantages.
 To the south lies India, on whose borders Great Britain de- sires no foreign troops; to the north and west is Russia, the com imunistic mission of which is ana thema to Britain and Japan; to the east is China, torn by civil war; and beyond it lie Mongolia and Manchukuo and the shadows of Russian and Japanese mentors.
 This is the setting of a drama of secret agents, intrigues and military conspiracies.
 It is charged that Britain is plotting to create great Tibetan empire, including Sinkiang. Brit ish sources charge that Russia is smuggling munitions to its parti- sans in Chinese Turkestan and is spreading communist propaganda there. Japan, it is charged, is scheming to put a second Pu Vi on the throne of Sinkiang as part of plan to subjugate that prov ince to Japan's will and China, nominally the sovereign power in Sinkiang, can not even keep or der in the heart of China proper, much less prevent foreign in trigues in it's most distant prov ince.
 Part of the alleged British proj- ect is to frustrate the return of the Tashi or Panchen yama to the Tibetan capital of Lhassa. 1t is asserted that the Tashi Lama, secular head of Tibet but an exile in China for the last decade, is so anti-British that his return to Lhassa would upset British plans to establish a greater Tibet" by western China.
 Reports have been published that Japan has been grooming Abdul Kerim Effendi, descendant of the Turkish sultan Abdul Hamid, for the throne of Sinkiang.
 Russians have charged that Ja- pan and Britain are jointly in- but this was regarded as particularly since Brit. ain would scarcely encourage the spread of Japanese influence to the borders of India.
 It has been reported here that two divisions of Soviet Russian troops and three regiments from Alpine territory have arrived in Soviet Turkestan, adjoining, in recent weeks.
