jAPAN'S INVASION
HELD WAR MOVE
Observers See Preparation
for Soviet Conflict in
Chinese Campaiqn.

(Copyrisnt. 1885, by the Associated Press)
TIENTSIN, China, June 29.-For-
eign military observers here, watching
the Japanese Army clutch North
China even tighter in its mailed fist,
said today they believed Japan's lead
ing motive was preparation for pos
sible war with Soviet Russia
They credited the army's insistence
on the demilitarization Of Hopi Prov
ince to its desire for absolute control
of lines Of communication in North
China, as well as the desire to avoid
trouble with Chinese troops.
Eliminates Hazard.
With the arrnys prCtectorate over
North China virtually established, the
military sources pointed out, Japan
can count on non-interference on her
left If she has to push troops out into
Mongolia to fight Russia.
Withdrawal of Chinese troops OBJ
jectionable to Japan from Hopei has
been almost completed. the Kuomin-
tang National government party
eliminated and non cooperating
Chinese officials replaced.
A Japanese consular official said
I'VE are now intensifyilg our request
for the elimination of anti-foreign
teachings from text books" announc-
ing that Japanese probably will be
sent to schools and universities to
talk with teachers and give them true
understanding of Japan's aims"
Military Training Ended.
Military training has been halted
in all schools at Japanese insistence.
A further step toward control of
North China has been taken in Cha
har, where Gov. Sung Cheh-Yuan has
been dismissed. at Japan's dictation
Sung's troops are expected to be re-
moved soon.
Chahar is highly important to Ja-
pan because the vital Peiping Suiyuan
Railway runs through it. For hun
dreds of miles, the line parallels So
viet-inf1uenced Mongolia.

Then the backfire started. Roose-
velt proposed TO restore 5 per cent of

voted as of February /, 1884, and S

On April l of this year the last
per cent of the pay cut was lifted.
though the President had proposed
that this not be done until July /.
Meanwhile, also, veteran restrictions
were being lightened.
Restrictions Not Urged.
President Roosevelt had not recon-
mended that the restrictions on pro-
motions be maintained in the new
fiscal year and there was no effort
in Congress to hold them over. He had
urged in his budget message though
that the retirement provision under
which person with 80 years service
could be dropped, be kept, but when
this was incorporated in the inde-
pendent Offices bill, 1t went out on a
point Of order in the House. 1t has
been fought from the time Of enact
ment two years ago. Figures from the
Civil Service Commission yesterday
showed that nearly 5000 employees
have been ousted by it-Some in their
late 40s-with a consequent jump in
the cost of the Governments share of
the retirement fund. The provision
Of the first economy act under which
the President must approve all extern
sions of service past the statutory re-
tirement ages, still holds.
The rotative furlough provision was
a spread work plan sponsored by
Postmaster General Farley at the
height of the retrenchment program.
when the forces of the old line estab-
lshments were being reduced, in an
effort to equalize the burden of un-
employment. 1t is being dropped be-
cause it is outmoded.

created to wage war against ours, to
half peace Never has any state
raised an army to invoke war. The
world respects only the states which
are something and on the way to be-
coming something"
Goebbels declared he was "aSton-
ished at the naivete" of those who
thought revolt might be near, saying
I'VE have foreign exchange and raw
material difficulties to fight but the
severity of this struggle will not force
us to our knees" He said the Nazis,
