FAIR PLAY.

The rest Of that evening was q
veritable nightmare to Donald.
Throwing his pride away, he pur-
sued the airy Migs with persistent
ardor. She was more than glad
to dance with him, and to give
him-almost-the same look that
had overcome him a short half
hour before. But the almost
measured a universe of distance.
There is something pathetic in the
spectacle Of a foolish young man
who has offended beauty, founder
ing in his own transgression. But
there was no mercy in Migs.
Hour after hour she permitted
the magic of her grace to torment
him, and. as her triumph became
apparent to the entire party, she
seemed to be in her seventh

DONALD REITERATED
TO HIS ROOM
Donald retreated to his own
room, in the upper reaches of the
club, at about three o'clock. He
couldn't sleep. at six, he took q
prolonged shower. The finals were
to begin at ten. He didn't think
much of his chances. AS a matter
Of fact, he didn't think much OF
anything except Migs.
At eleven, Martin, the ancient
irish servitor, appeared. Mr. NC
Ivor, sir A bit Of an egg, may
be, or a few pieces Of bacon?" he
suggested.
A row of explosives, more distin-
guished for vigor than for finesse,
testified to Donald's feelings on the
subject Of breakfast. A reference
on the part Of Martin, to the forth
coming competition, drew a more
complete and diversified series OF
remarks on the general subject OF
golf, country clubs, breakfast and
red-faced fiends in white serving
jackets who appeared mounting
ridiculous suggestions about such
Grass things as food.
Martin cooked his head to one
side and observed his victim with
a fine professional eye. He had seen
hangovers and before-tournament

Jap-Russ War Being
Taken or Granted
Americans Harbor Idea Combat Will Come in Spring
Possibilities of Conflict Described By Vaughn

BY MILES w. VAUGHN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
when are Russia and Japan
going to war;"
That question was asked me
when I stepped off the Chicchibu
Mauru at San Francisco after nine
years as United Press Staff cor
respondent in the Orient.
1t had been asked me abroad the
steamer en- route from Yokohama;
1t was asked me in Los Angeles,
in Hollywood, in Las Vegas, in Sal!
Kansas City, in Chicago - in New
York.
It was asked aboard trains, In
motor buses. in clubs, streets, sub
ways and even in airplanes.
1t is apparent a great many
Americans think a Russo Japanese
war is imminent. Many of them
believe 1t will come this spring.
Why?
The Answer
Apparently because most Ameri-
cans think Russians and Japa-
nese would fight about the things
over which Americans would fight.
Americans know Japan is sole
sponsor of the Independent state
of Manchoukuo, which was Man.
'churia, which was part of China.
They know Manchoukuo con-
trolls the Chinese Eastern Railway
- has renamed it the North Man
churian Railway. They know Rus
STA claims ownership of the line
that Japan has admitted, tacitly
at least. that Russian claims have
a standing In international law
even II they might not stand IN
any international code of morals,
Vital Link
They know Russia has gone TO
war about the railway before; they
know 1t is vital link in Russian
communications; many of them
believe 1t is essential to any for
eign policy in Moscow which en-
visages Russia as playing her
traditional role of one Of the DOM
inant powers in the Orient.
The Chinese Eastern Railway
commonly is cited as a primary
cause for war-Japan controls the
railway because she controls Man
choukuo. Russia will fight to get
1t back.
That is sound reasoning as far
as 1t goes. But 1t does not go far
enough.
The history Of the Chinese East
ern Railway Is long, long story.
1t goes back to the last century.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1934-04-03

!
1t was, and is, only one part OF
Russia's dream Of an ice free port
in the Pacific of control of the
tremendous trade of Cathay and
the Orient.
The Chinese Eastern was built
in the day of Russian penetration
into Northern Asia after the
Boxer uprising of 1900 when the
Car was carrying forward a
scheme which envisaged complete
control of Manchuria and Korea.
Part of 1905 Pattern
1t was part of pattern which
led to the Russo-Japanese war Of
1905 which ended in a Japanese
victory, in Japanese control of
Korea, in Japan becoming the
dominant power in Manchuria.
Russia sustained a set back
from which, so far as her Oriental
policy is concerned, she never has
recovered.
1t is remembrance of this war
possibly, which caused Moscow TO
offer to sell the Chinese Eastern
to Manchoukuo last spring.
That is a point many American
observers are overlooking. Russia

Manchoukuo, conversations were
started, broke down because of
disagreement about the price, now
are being resumed.
Manchoukuo May Buy Road
The indications today are that
the conference has fair chance
of eventual success, that Man
choukuo will buy the Chinese
Eastern from Russia. that Japan
will aid Manchoukuo in getting
the money and virtually will guar
antee the payments. that the
quarrel will be settled by negotia-
ton, not by recourse to arms.
Neither japan nor Russia wants
to fight.
Japan does not want to fight
because she feels the world now
regards her with suspicion be-

NEBRASKA FIRM
ON CATTLE TEST
Stockgrowers Still OPP
posed to Tuberculin
Testing of Cows

Alliance, Neb. (UP).-The Ne
braska Stockgrowers' association
remains opposed to tuberculin
testing of range cattle in western
ranch area with view to &C
crediting the areas as tubercu-
losis free.
Despite the fact that range
county accrediting was approved
by unanimous vote Of the Ameri-
can National Livestock associa-
ton at the annual convention in
New Mexico last winter, the Ne
braska branch has remained
adamant. A resolution similar to
the one adopted at the national
convention was defeated by a six
to five vote of the executive COM
mittee of the Nebraska Ranch
mems association here.
A meeting of the committee had
been requested by DR. A. Fl. Fran
els, inspector in charge of the Me-
braska branch Of the Federal
Bureau of Animal Industry. Fran
els made a special trip here from
Lincoln to explain tuberculin test
ing of range cattle as 1t applies In
far western Nebraska areas.
Rejection of the resolution to
permit the testing came following
a vitriolic attack by r. Car
rothers, executive committeeman
Carrothers swung doubtful COM
mitteemen over against the move
by his attack.
DIR Francis told the ranchmen
however. that establishment OF
modified tuberculosis-free areas
in other states is raising barrier
against importation of Nebraska
cattle into eastern states for feed
ing purposes. First encounter /. OF
that barrier came recently when
a shipment Of Nebraska steers
sent to Pennsylvania were refused
entry to bovine tuberculosis-free
areas Of that state.

Governor to Get First Loss
in State Committee on
Proposed Rule.

Governor Paul Y. AIcNutt's domi-
nation Of the Democratic state COM
mittee since r. Earl Peters re
signed" met with its first reversal
today when the committee rejected
certain rule changes proposed last
month.
June y was announced as the
state convention date. and DR..
Carleton B. Mccullough. state
chairman. empowered to select a
committee TO make al arrange
ments.
Proposed rule changes were sent
out by the McNutt appointed sec
Rotary. Keith Johns. of the state
committee just before the meeting
last month.
Action was delayed and they we're
not railroaded through as originally
planned. Today the plan to remove
county. district or state chairmen
for "disloyalty to the party or any
OF its nominees or regularly elected
officials" was dropped.
This was particularly designed
with the Peters scrap in
mind. During the latter's chair
manship Of the state committee, the
ClaypOol headquarters became a
clearing house Of complaint against
the Governors administration
The tWO-thirds rule for removal
OF chairmen on grounds of neglect
of duty or failure to comply with
rules" probably was adopted.
Other changes in the proposed
new rules were rejection of the
plan to combine the Lake county
and district craftsmanship and
changing from mandatory to op-
tional plan Of electing city chair
men on call of the county chair
man.

AUTO MISHAP FATAL
TO MILITANT EDITOR
Don M. Dixon, 81, Owned
Six Newspapers.

By United Press
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Nov. g.
Don Morrison Nixon, 50, editor and
publisher of six daily newspapers in
Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee and
Kentucky, died today of injuries re-
ceived in an automobile accident
Oct. 90.
He did not regain consciousness
after being taken to hospital with
a brain conclusion.
Mr.. Nixon began his newspaper
work as a ship news reporter forty
years ago in New York, after leav-
ing his home in Spring Greek, Pa.
He received additional fame in
1882 during contempt of court pro-
ceedings filed against him in Wa
bash circuit court when through his
newspaper he challenged the ap-
pointment of "a village garage pro-
prietor" as receiver to liquidate a
million dollars in deposits in a Wa
bash bank. He was noted as a
fearless and liberal crusader.
