BRITAIN, u. s. IN SOLID
FRONT AGAINST JAPAN

LONDON, Oct. 27.-(UP).-
Great Britain and the United
States had formed a united front
today against Japan's naval equal
ity demands, and were believed
ready to break off the preliminary
naval conversations if the Japa-
nese persist rigidly in adhering to
their present stand.
Members of both the British
and American delegations, how
ever, emphasized that the rupture
has not become the real issue,
and both held to the hope that
compromise could be reached.
Nevertheless, Norman H. Davis,
chief Of the U. S. delegation, was
far from optimistic. and was be-
lieved to have painted a sombre
picture Of. the naval conference
prospects during conference
with Arthur Henderson, on gen.
eral disarmament questions.
The only hope for success in
the naval. conversations now un-
der way appeared to lie in the
conviction that the japanese are
prepared to produce alternative
proposals far more conciliatory
than SO far advanced, if Britain
and the United States remain firm
in their rejection Of equality de-
mands and the limitation Of sea-
power By total tonnage rather:
than kinds Of war vessels.

SINCLAIR NOT
TO HAVE help
OFCE0. CREEL
Ex-Socialist's Epic Plan Is
Seen As Leading to Dis
aster For People

NEW YORK. Oct. 81. (UP)-
George Creel, who lost the Demo
cratic nomination for governor of
California to Upton Sinclair but
offered to help Sinclair's cam
paign after revisions in his "epic"
plan, has withdrawn the offer, the
New York World-Telegram said
yesterday.
The newspaper published a let
ter from Creel to Sinclair, dated
at Washington, October 10, stat
ing that Sinclair's most recent
campaign pronouncement, Gimme
date epic" is in essence the origi-
nal plan he attacked as "unsound,
unavoidable, and un-American."
81 withdrew my offer to COM
paign in your behalf" the letter
said.
GAS you will remember, in our
various conversations between pri-
mary day and the election" Creel
wrote, 81 stated my inability to
stomach Merriam and his medieval
owners, and stressed desire to
support you. l had however, at
tackled major features of your epic
plan throughout my campaign, not
merely to create a distinction be-
tween our candidates. but because
l believed them to- be absolutely
unrealizeable, bound to betray
hope and leading inevitably to a
tragedy of disappointment 900.
"The proposals I protested were
your $300,000,000 bond issue,
your scrip scheme for an indepen-
dent currency system, your farm
communes, your state stores, your
pension of $50 a month to all over
60, and to every blind person and
t h o Sc physically incapacitated
from earning a living; your ex-
emption of all homes and ranches
where the assessed value was less
than $4,000, and the declared in
tent to substitute a tax on stock
transfers from the present sales
SIN particular / attacked your
land colonies and your state stores
were the products of farms and
factories would be sold to the
general public at cost, holding that
it meant the ruin of private indus
Try
"At no point did I question your
sincerity, but at the same time I
made no secret of my belief that
hair-brained, unavoidable schemes
of social reform led to disaster
no less surely than the programs
of the charlatan and demogogue."
Creel recounted how, as the
result of prolonged discussion, the
two drew up a platform that en-
abled him to stand honestly and
happily that our declaration of
purpose was one to which every
true Democrat, every true Pro-
gressive, could subscribe without
loss of faith or sacrifice of 'prin-
ciple."

Sinclair has gone back to his orig
inal plan, .Creel said. .

RENEW DRIVE
FOR ELECTION
lODAYS AHEAD
Party Chairmen Schedule
Several Meetings For
Coming Week
REYNOLDS COMING
SATURDAY NIGHT

Encouraged by rapidly increas-
ing interest in the outcome of
the November 6 election, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike re-
newed their efforts today to
elect their respective tickets.
M. M. Redden, county Demo-
cratic chairman, and Frank H.
Waldrop, Republican chieftain,
scheduled number of meetings
for next week, the Democratic
drive to be topped by an address
in the courthouse next Saturday
night by United States Senator
Robert r. Reynolds. Republicans
fired one of their big guns last
night when H. B. Leavitt:, con-
.gressional candidate, addressed a
large audience, principally of
young Republicans, at the city
hall.
Today was the last registration
day before the election, and par
ty leaders were out in force
rounding up negligent voters and
getting their names on the poll
books. One of the largest crowds
of the fall season was in town,
.aue largely to ideal weather, and
candidates of both parties made
the most of the opportunity to
see as many voters as possible.
Attendance at the many town
ship. and precinct meetings ap-
parently has given both parties
cause to believe that "the other
side doesn't have chance"
Chairman Waldrop predicted the
election of the entire Republican
ticket, and Chairman Redden said
that "by the last of next week
I'll be able to tell you the ap-
proximate size of the Democratic
majorities.
Meetings scheduled by Demo-
Gratis to conclude the campaign
are listed as follows: Monday
night, East Flat Rock; Tuesday
night, Valley Hill and Mountain
Sanitorium; Wednesday night,
Mills River; Thursday night, Mt.
Olive; Friday night, Ebenezer
and Balfour; Saturday night,
county courthouse.
Republican meetings: Monday

For The Year

GREENSBORO, Oct. 81
Adoption of the conference bud
get, submission of a long-term
unified program of work, and the
annual missionary sermon of the
presiding bishop were the high
points in Fridays sessions of the
45th annual meeting of the Wes-
tern North Carolina conference
of the NJ. E. Church, South.
The unified program of work,
one of the most ambitious in the
conferences history, was present
ed at a special session called for
this afternoon by Bishop Paul 3.
Kern. 1t provides means of cor
relating the activities of the
church for the advance of Meth
odism over a period of four years.
1t was presented by committee
in behalf of larger group Sc
lected by Bishop Kern in Septem-

down broad principles upon which
the conference is to work during
the next quadrennium.
Last night after dinner at
the Woman's college of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, the
delegates attending the conference
returned to the West Market
Street church, where the sessions
are being held, and heard Bishop
Kern in an exhortation for con-
tinued missionary activities.
Because of the press OF other
business during the morning SEES
sion, Bishop Kern ordered an al
ternoon meeting in which to con-
slider the unified work program,
which, he said in offering 1T TO
the conference, must not be taken
as a "blue print" but only as "a
framework on which to build dur
ing the next quadrennium:
The report was presented to the
conference by Rev. G. c. Weaver
in behalf of the other members OF
the committee which drew it up
along the lines worked out by a
larger group which, in the words
of Bishop Kern, represented a
cross section of the various
groups in the conference" Other
members of the committee We're

FARLEY Gets
CROSSED Up ON
ENDORSEMENTS
Rubber Stamp Signature
Aids Sinclair And Ten ,
nessee Republican
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. (UP)
In the great game of trying to
get Democrats elected to office
next month, the box score on
the Democratic national commit
tee today stood:
Assists-zero.
Errors-three.
A rubber stamp of the sigma
ture of James A. Farley, chair
man of the Democratic national
committee, caused some of the
trouble, but it doesn't explain
how the Democratic committee
woke up and found it was urg-
ing the reelection in Tennessee
of a conservative Republican.
Farley came out of the White
House yesterday. badly harass-
ed man to find that, unknown to
himself, he had urged California
voters to elect Upton Sinclair
governor. Sinclair used to be a
socialist, but now is Democrat,
and if you think that is confus-
ing stick around and hear how
the Democratic national commit
tee got itself tied into knots.
The committee prepared form
letters to be sent to voters in
various states. At the bottom of
it wa sFarley's rubber1 stamp sig,
nature-in green ink-followed
by this postscript:
Friends of the administrator
in Washington will be gratitled
for all your efforts.-J.A.F."
Farley is famous among other
things for his penchant for green
ink. He will use no other hue.
When those letters got loose
in California, it looked like the
administration was endorsing Sim
clair, which. from all indications,
is one of the last things Farley
wanted to do. There are two
explanations of how the letters
cot out. The national committee
denies such letters ever existed;
another source said they were
sent out by mistake. :,
That storm quieted down, and
then somebody pointed out that
Mr.. Farley had been green-inked
into urging Tennessee voters to

WASHINGTON IS
CRITICAL over
TOKYO'S VIEW
"Clever Shifting Of Stage
Props" Seen After Pro-
test Is Filed
u. S., BRITAIN SOLIDLY
OPPOSE JAP NAVY PLAN
BY HOBART c. MONTEE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. (UP)
Official opinion here backfired
quickly today on an assertion by
a Japanese foreign office spokes-
man that Japan had no RESPONSE
bility for the Manchukuo govern
ment's maintenance of the "open
door" policy in Manchukuo.
Officials here saw in this state
ment IAN attempt to be clever in
the shifting of stage props" in
the Far East to make it appear
that the Japanese government
had no hand in the Manchukuo
governments announced intention
to create state oil monopoly
closely allied with Japanese oil
and financial interests.
The United States, Great Bril-
tain and The Netherlands have
made formal representations to
the Japanese government, pro-
testing that such action violates
the "open door" policy which ia
pan by treaty and by official pub
lie declaration is obligated to re-
spect.
These representations inferen-
tally hold the Japanese govern
ment responsible for action of the
Manchukuo government, recog-
nized by only one foreign coun-
try, Salvador.
Although officials here would
not be quoted they saw close
connection between the apparent
attempt to Squeeze out" foreign
oil companies operating in Japan
and in Manchukuo and the naval
conversations among American,
British and Japanese delegations
in London.
The Japanese in London Off
cially have demanded navy of
parity strength with British and
American fleets and abolition of
so-called offensive" naval units
such as airplane carriers, capital
ships and heavy cruisers.
These demands, coinciding so
closely with development over the
"open door" policy in Manchukuo,
were considered particularly sig
nifcant.
Navy officials here said if the
Japanese demands were met by
the other powers they would give
Japan, for all practical purposes,
a tense account the mainland Of
Asia.
In such event they said the ma
tions of the world could consider
the "open door" policy in China
ended for(all time.
They said they based these as
sertions on frequent complaints
by American and other firms in
Manchukuo that they were being
continuously Disseminated against
by the government there in favor
of Japanese firms.
