i. 5. TO AVOID
ANTI-WAR PACT
With JAPAN
4-Power Treaty Plan
May Have Strings
Attached, Belief
By KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright. 1885. by International
News Service)

The United States will not en-.
ter any regional nonaggression
pact with Japan in the Pacific
under this Administration.
This was learned today follow
ing London reports that the jap
anese delegation to the naval
conference intended to propose a
four.power Pacific pact binding
the United States, Great Britain,
France and Japan to a nonag-
gression pledge-that is, a prom
ise not to war against one an
other.
This Governments unwilling
ness to enter such pact is not
due to any desire to be free to
engage in aggression against ia
pan or any other power in the Pa
cific. 1t is due primarily to the
following two factors:
l. That such pact would be
contrary to the traditional Amer
lean policy OF refusing to enter
anything in the nature Of separate
political alliances with foreign
powers in peace time.
2. Suspicion that the pact
which Japan has in mind has
strings attached which would leave
the Nippon Empire virtually free
to establish hegemony over Asia
at the expense Of American, Brit
iSh and French interests.

HEX VICTIM
STILL CRAZY

Q.N.SD.-Andreas Carbon, victim
Of one of the strangeSt witch doc
tor" cures ever to come to light
in the Southwest, today was under
observation in his home, to which
he was taken, Shackled and hand
cuffed. from the county jail here.
If Carbon fails to recover within
three days from the delirium
which he has been suffering as
the result of the administration
Of some powerful but unknown
drug by a reputed faith doctor"
on November 81, he will be taken
to the State Insane Asylum at Las
Vegas.
Since Carbon was taken into
custody, physicians have been
feeding him forcibly. Authorities
expressed the opinion that, al
though still violent. he would re-
cover.
Carbon was one of the six mem.

faith healer, after an orgy of re-
ligious frenzy in an attempt to

JeSusita Carbon. Gardens wife

sufficiently to be taken to their
homes.
Judge Numa Frenger Tuesday
sentenced Bernal to 90 days in jail

VIOLENT WIND
RENDS FLAG

1t is, or was. the Star-Spangled
Banner flying over the Munitions
Building today, but you would
never know it.
The flag was raised this morn
ing, as on every Government build
ing. Then the brisk wind blow
ing whipped the flag to tatters,
leaving only narrow strip re-
sembling a long pennant.
Guards attempted to haul down
the flag to raise a new one. but
the halyards jammed. and so the
tattered flag will fly until work
men can be found to mount the
pole and bend new halyards.
Meanwhile another flag was
raised on an adjoining flagpole
so the law requiring the flying
of the national standard might be
carried out.

POLICE GUARD
AUTO PLANT

DETROIT, Dec. 4 GN.SD.-A
heavy police detail guarded the
Motor Products Corporation today,
following a clash between 500
striking workers and almost 100
policemen in which 81 persons
were injured and II arrested.
The combat started after 1000
strikers marched to the plant late
last night following a meeting and
began picketing. When t h e
strikers began hurting bricks,
police turned loose tear gas bombs.
At least 81 workers were felled
by the fumes, while the remainder
suffered cuts and bruises from fly
ing bricks. One policeman was
hurt.
The outbreak was the first
serious one since workers walked
out three weeks ago after their
demand for a Is per cent increase
in pay was turned down. The
company offered a 10 per cent
increase.

IRON AND COAL

ITALIANS
League Plans Embargo
If "IIIicit" Oil
Reaches Duce

GENEVA, Dec. 4 Q.N.SO.-Ir
the event Italy gets all the oil
she needs despite League of Ma
tions efforts to embargo it, tht
Leagues general staff" on spph
cation Of sanctions will extend
its penalties to other materials
vital to prosecution of the African
war, International News Service
learned today.
In particular, If Italy should
get an illicit" supply of oil afteI
the oil ban is clamped down, the
League certainly will extend the
embargo to include iron, steel and
coal.
Germany May Aid
The general staff" under
stands that Germany is willing te
cooperate at least in the coal
embargo.
Since Germany is the principal
non-League supplier Of coal to
italy, a ban on this commodity,
it was believed here, would have
a direct and drastic effect on
Italy.
Although the League received
its first report of the Standard
Oil Company's deal with Italy
gloomily, later in the day they
became more optimistic with re-
celpt Of reports the American
company planned to supply Italy
will oil from foreign wells rather
than with American oil.
Rumania Has Ban
It was pointed out by League
officials that as long as the
United States is willing to COOP
crate in maintaining oil exports
to Italy at pre-conflict levels, the
general staff" will go ahead with
its oil ban plan.
One official stated it would be
impossible for the American COM
pany TO supply Italy with oil from
Rumanian wells via Hungary and
Austria since Rumania has agreed
to the oil sanctions program and
she would prohibit exports to
these non-sanctioniSt countries.
