State Department strategists argue that unless Japan is checked, 1t will be only Q ques- ton of time before Japan engulfs all China; that Chinese raw ma terials, man power, wealth will make Nippon impregnable, per- haps the most powerful nation in the world. A,
 This question of cooperation with the British led to conflict with the Army when the Japan csc moved into Tientsin. In tbak city are about 800 American doughboys of the 18th Infantry.
 The Army wanted them out. The State Department wanted them to stay. Though tt did not put the matter in exactly these words, the state department felt that removal of American troops would indicate lack of coopcra. ton with the British, who were keeping their troops in Tient. sin.
 At this point General MacAr- thur submitted a strong memo randum to the White House. He ], maintained that the present of American troops played intofthe hands of the Japanese, since they were arguing that the Chinese could not keep order themselves.
 He also claimed that Ameri- can troops were kept in the Ori- ent solely because of Standard oil and American missionaries.
 NET RESULT: The 18th In- fantry gradually will be with , drawn. Missing
 Ono prominent republican was noticeably absent from tho Grass Root convention at Springfield.
 He is Colonel Raymond Rob- bins, one.time Bull. .Nfooser and . potent, Hoover campaigncr in 1928. The story of why he did not go to the Grass Root talk. fest follows:
 A week before the meeting, Robins, now living on a farm in Florida, was surprised by visit from Arthur Hyde, secretray of agriculture in the Hoover cabi- net. Hyde explained that he was driving his family back to Missouri, was passing by, and dropped in.
 Robins invited his visitors to spend the night, a suggestion they accepted with enthusiasm.
 Hyde, ensconced on the ver- anda, lost no time in broaching the subject of politics. He asked Robins If he was planning to attend the Grass Root gathering. Robins said he was not, where upon Hyde. became eloquent.
 You ought to go, Colonel" he said. "You are well known and highly regarded. You should go and make speech about Constitutional government. Mir. Hoover, as you know, has long stood for the preservation of Constitutional government"
 "And so has my friend, B0rah," broke fin Robins. ''In fact, Senator BOrah was labor. ing in defense Of Constitutional government long before Mir. Hoover was heard of. If I should 20 to the convention and make a speech, it wuOld be for one man only--ScnatOr BOrah."
 This declaration had an extra ordinary effect on Hyde. He flushed, angrily sprang to his feet, curtly informed his wife and daughter that they were de- parting at once.
 "But, father" protested the daughter. "This is such lovely place. Why can't we spend the night here?"
 Never mind why" snapped Hyde. "We are leaving at once"
 And he drove off. Robins, much amused, waved a cheerful goodbye.
