CHINESE MINISTER
ACCUSES JAPAN Of
ENC|RCL|NG CHINA
Asserts New Policy Seeks
to Veto Rights of For
eign Nations.
DESCRIBES PROGRAM
AS NEGATION OF PEACE
Declines to State Whether Ap-
peal Will Be Taken Under
Pact.

GENEVA, April 25 CP.-Chi Tsai-
HUI, Chinese Minister to Switzerland
declared today that japanese impe-
rialism seeks to inclose all China and
veto the rights of foreign nations.
He told newspaper correspondents
gathered by invitation, that the new
Japanese doctrines violate all the fun
damentals of the nine-power treaty
signed at Washington in 1922, tc
which the United States. Great Brit
ain, France, Holland. Japan end
other nations are signatories.
These fundamentals, he said, in
clude the sovereignty and independence
of China, the promise of helping China
obtain a stable government. the right
of equal opportunity for all nations
and the promise not to take advantage
of conditions to seek special privileges
Holds Policy Opposes Peace.
1.-THE japanese declarations reveal
clearly" he Sald that Japan, pre-
tending to speak in the name OF peace
in the Far East, which she alone has
disturbed for the past 80 years, is
pursuing a policy which is the mega
ton of peace and collaboration.
The japanese do not seem to want
a prosperous China whose markets
would be open to all countries with
out discrimination"
Denies Negotiations.
The Chinese Minister denied that
Northern China is negotiating for a de
facto recognition of Manchukuo.
He declined to say whether China
would appeal under the nine-power
pact.
Tsai-Hu's declarations were made
after Masayuki Yokoyama, the Jap
anese counsul general here, had pic
tured Japan as social welfare worker
He produced the picture in elaborat-
ing on his previous enunciation OF
Japan's policy of Asia for Asiatics
and of opposition to foreign meddlers
in Chinese affairs. He expressed re-
gret other powers should see Japan
as planning the conquest of Eastern
Asia
I'VE do not want to drive away for
eign peoples from the Far East" he
said.
Treaty Respect Claimed.
I'VE intend to respect treaties. And
remember, the Japanese influence in
China is good not only for China but
for the interests of foreign nations.
Japan has no intention of obstruct-
ing the interests, the integrity and the
independence of China Japan
has no intention of blocking the in
terests of other powers if they pursue
useful and economic relations with
China"
Yokoyama added firmly, however:
Il am authorized also to say that
Japan nevertheless cannot accept and

the State police were not kept in
formed by the Federal agents of their
raid on a road house in Wisconsin

ties had not given full cooperation

The reverse was true in Michigan.

cooperate"

Threat of a general tool and die
strike was renewed today when a
meeting was announced for Mon
day when the Mechanics Educa-
tional Society of America will bal
lot on whether to extend today's
partial strike to the entire indus

Sporadic strikes today resulted
in approximately 5000 men leav-
ing their benches. Some of the
tool and die plants closed down en-
tirely as a result-a few kept their
wheels turning with what workers
were available.
Late yesterday a portion of the
manufacturers capitulated to the
strike demands anc increased wages
20 per cent and shortened the
work week. These plants were OPP
Grating normally today.

company of New York, in an inter-
esting talk at the joint meeting OF
the Kiwanis club and the chamber
of commerce at the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Distribution of produce to retail
erS and consumers was discussed
and proved highly interesting since
so much of the valley produce is
sold in New York. He stated that
as many as $40 carloads of fruit
and vegetables have been sold in
New York in one day.

day.
Other speakers were Samuel j.
Hume and John j. Miller of the

who discussed tie menace to prop
erty rights and business interests
inherent in the national securities
exchange act now pending before
congress.
They said, Everyone is III ac-
cord with the expressed purposes OF
this legislation, the aim to prevent
inequitable and unfair practices on
the stock exchanges. However, as
originally drafted and now in its
revised form, it goes far beyond this
express purpose to restrict, regulate

We have another shot in the locker, Mr..

fore the federal trade commission on March

work by the advice and influence of pre-

Your Investigations did not embrace all

to judge them.

(C0ntlnued from rage ID
too, Mr.. Sadler) that The Press policy was
antagonistic to the All-American canal?
Remember, you never visited our office
during your visits here. Yet The Press Of
flee is the only institution in Imperial Val
ley that has complete file of this paper
Where did you get your information that
we are antagonistic to the canal? You don't
have to answer that one under oath, Mr..
Sadler Well be good sports and take your
word for it.
Commencing June 6, 1888 and conclud-
ing on June 10, 1888, The Imperial Valley
Press ran series of editorials on the All
American canal They are in our files, Mr..
Sadler. Did you ever see them?
Here's a quotation from the editorial of
June 9, 1888, which covered the power phase
Of the canal. MANY WHO HAVE GIVEN
THOUGHT TO THE POWER DEVELOP
MENT PHASE OF THE CANAL BELIEVE
THAT NO DEFINITE ACTION SHOULD
BE TAKEN ON THE DISPOSAL OF THE
CANAL POWER UNTIL AFTER AN
OPINION HAS BEEN EXPRESSED BY
THE PEOPLE AT A POPULAR ELEC-
TON. ***IT is AN IDEA WHICH THE
PRESS ENDORSES"
On June %, 1888, the board of directors
of the Imperial Irrigation district incor-
porated that suggestion of The Press in
resolution and admitted to US verbally
that it was inspired by The Press editorial
The last paragraph of the resolution reads
as follows: 1T is FURTHER RESOLVED
THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY CON-
TRACT BE MADE TO DISPOSE OF POW
Err WITHOUT FIRST SUBMITTING THE
QUESTION TO THE ELECTORATE FOR
APPROVAL"
Is that antagonlsm to the canal, Mr.. Sad
Ter? You were testifying (under oath Mr..
Sadler) when you gave your testimony be-
fore the federal trade commission. That
was on March 7, 1884 Our editorials on
that Why didn't you check over our files
and acquaint yourself with the truth before
you testified (under oath)?
When (and if you visit us, Mr. Sadler,.
we are going to present to you free, gratis
and without charge, copy of our issue of
April H. 1884. On the first page thereof
you will find an interesting story and you
will not need glasses to see it or to read it.
You will note there that Mr.. Phil D.
Swing states publicly that throughout the
history OF The Press under its present man.
agement, it has stood soidly behind the
Boulder dam and All-American canal pro-
jects. The people of this valley know Mr..
Swing, Mr.. Sadler. They know that he
knows the valley too. If your testimony of
March T. 1884, (under oath too, Mr. Sad
ler) is correct, then Mr.. Swing is not telling
the truth
Could you have been mistaken? Of
course you couldn't be mistaken, Mr.. Sad
Ter. You were testifying under oath, and
when man does that he is awfully, awfully
careful to make sure that what he says is
the truth
On page 394O8 of your testimony (under
oath, Mr.. Sadler) you testified: Harry
Hammond is the publisher Of the Riverside
Daily Press and very closely associated with
the Southern Sierras Power company. ]
