A ND as to the manner of death,
IA the answer may be found in
the report of DR.. Charles H.
Mitchell, county physician of
Trenton, who conducted the au-
topsy. He said:
Diagnosis of death is a frac-
tured skull due to external vio-
lence."
From such a plain statement Of
cause and effect, the state has
built up the theory which, directly
or indirectly, will be presented to
II citizens of Hunterdon County
for determination. The theory is
this:

despair of new agreement later {
Both deprecate talk on both
sides of the Pacific and Atlantic
which might be interpreted as be-
ing of a threatening nature, espe-
cially on the part of officials.
1t will be two years before ia
pans denunciation of the Wash
ington naval limitation treaty be-
comes effective, they point out,
and many things can happen in
that time.
Japan, the writer learns, intends
to press for a major conference
next year, at which she plans to
propose cutting her own navy in
two.
CHE will offer to scrap 100000
~ tons of capital ships, 10000
tons of aircraft carriers and 1OO,-
900 tons of the big eight-inch gun
cruisers-in all more than 100000
tons. She has total of approx
mateIy 100000 tons.
The United States and Great
Britain each have about 100000
tons of WarshipS, and, from their
viewpoint, there is the catch. Nip
pom plans to ask these two pow
ers to scrap about 100000 tons
each to bring Britain, America and
Japan down to a common level.
To obtain this common level
either by building up to Britain
and America, or by inducing them
to scrap down to her-was Japan's
stated reason for scrapping the
present 5-5-3 ratio.
Today, as the State Department
awaited word from Ambassador
Saito announcing the arrival of the
official notice of withdrawal from
the pact of Washington, Capt.
Tamon Yamaguchi, naval attache,
outlined Nipopn's stand on naval
disarmament.
LIE attributed the Manchurian
- crisis and the sanguinary
affair at Shanghai largely to ia
pans lack of preparedness. Nip
pom lost face with China and in
Cured the contempt of that coun-
try when she accepted naval in
feriority.
Furthermore" he said, be-
hind Japan's insistence upon par
ity, there is the problem of our
relations with the Union of Soviet
Russia.
1T is no secret that the Soviet
Government in recent years has
revived its naval force with re-
newed vigor. There are more
than 20 submarines at Vladivos-
tok, and great fleet of modern
fighting planes is also stationed
in that vicinity"
Captain Yamaguchi reminded
that Toxic and Osaka, capital
and great industrial center, are
only 700 miles from Vladivostok.
And, he added, China is coming
to have considerable air force
as well.
NIPPON, he says, must have
L y naval equality for these and
other reasons. She must be able
to safeguard the peace of the
Orient. She not necessarily will
insist upon ton-for-ton with Brit
ain and America, but she must be
secure in her own quarter of the
globe. Accordingly she plans to
build the type Of feet best suited
to her own particular needs.
Few, if any, naval experts here
as yet see any loophole for COM
promise. Time may show the way,
they declare with a pessimistic
shake Of the head. But the out
look at present is Enthusiastically
dark.
Certainly abolition of capital
ships, aircraft carriers and large
cruisers is not viewed here as
way out. That would be excellent
for Japan, it is observed. For

charged the White House with
helping him.
The real facts are that during
the campaign, the Democratic
party was putting all it had into
the fight to defeat Senator Ar
thur Robinson, and it was neceS-
sary to have some central clearing
house for dispensing Indiana
patronage.
Because Of the heavy prepon-

men from Indiana in the past,
there was little existing Demo-
cratic machinery to handle it.

asked him to handle recommen-
dations for Federal patronage in
Indiana-at least until some per-
manent setup could be arranged.
Gov. McNutt, of course, had his
own state political machinery, and
through this he planned to handle
