By Lhitcd Press
CLEVELAND, Dec 26.-The Rt.
Rev. Warren Lincoln Rogers, bishop
of the Episcopalian diocese of Ohio
and member of the national coun-
Gil, said today that the American
committee of the church unity oc-
tave council, which made the plea
for Episcopal and Catholic reunion,
was not an authorized group, but
probably "Self-appointed.
He said he always has prayed for
peace and union" but was unaware
of an appeal for reunion.

in Cotton Industry
Foreseen by Manchuria r. r. Head

HARDIN, Manchukuo (SpeciaD -
Because of scores of uncertainties,
notably including what he believes to
be live possibility of an impending
world revolution in the cotton in
dustry, Yosuke Matsuoka, new presi-
dent of Japan's great South Man
churia Railway, is approaching the
problem of japanese participation in
North China economic development
with the utmost caution"
So spoke the industrial magnate,
now one of the key men in JapanS
economic empire building upon the
Asiatic continent, in an interview with
the correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News yesterday aboard the Asia,
crack streamlined, air conditioned
train of the s25O,000,0OO company he
heads.
For more than an hour Matsuoka,
known best heretofore as head of the
Japanese delegation when Japan
abandoned the League of Nations over
the Manchurian issue, talked of the
uncertain East and the uncertain
world, while outside his compartment
window the Manchurian plains and
hills and sturdy Chinese peasants were
passed by the speeding train. He had
boarded the limited at Mukden and
received this correspondent before get
ting off at Hsinking, capital of the
new state"
Considered Logical to Lead.
Again and again since June Japa-
nese champions of the development of
North China have pointed to the
South Manchuria Railway as the
logical organ to head the japanese
planning and financial expansion.
Already, as reported previously, this
railway is investigating North China.
Matsuoka says he wants and intends
to help, but declares he does not yet
know how much can or should be
done.
"One thing certain is that the South
Manchuria Railway must not invest
money foolishly," he asserted. I'VE
are just beginning to study the prob
lem"
He then indicated how large the
new North China status looms in
South Manchuria Railway possibilities
by saying he may go to North China
personally to attempt to form his own
conclusions.
"You are interested among other
things in the possibility of improving
the quality of the cotton there and
its wider cultivation" he was asked.
1--WE are interested Immediately in
that he said, "but while still inter-
ested I have heard of a new develop
ment which may upset my former
ideas"

slight, compact man, cordial and in
impeccably tailored Western clothes
spoke of the possibility which he be-
lieves large enough to demand his full
attention: That world cotton revo-

leader tells me" he said. that a
former German invention for making
cotton from timber has now been
vastly improved in Germany. Pre-
viously cotton thus made lacked
strength when wet Now I am in
formed that this defect has been con-
ouered by a new invention and that
in other particulars the resulting
product is better than the present
cotton.
Il understand that plant in Japan
plans to manufacture cotton from
wood by this method. If it works, and
can we'll imagine it will. its effects
on every nation in the world would be
incalculable, for better or for worse.
Information given me is that cot
ton from wood can be produced at
much lower cost than from the real
cotton plant. If the product is good
think what 1t will mean to your Amer
lea, sir, with cotton one of its basic
crops"
1t was a magnate of Americas best
raw cotton customer, Japan, who was
talking-at time when the loss Of
large part of Americas export market
for cotton Is one of her vital agrarian
problems.
Communications Interesting.
Matsuoka said that from the stand
ing of the South Manchuria Rail-
way, development of North China
communications is especially inter-
eSting.
But when thinking Of putting
money into Chinese railroads one
must consider not only whether a
project is intrinsically sound. but
whether the Chinese will do their part
to make it pay" he said.
However, Matsuoka said he SYM
pathized with those who hope that
japanese cooperation" in North
China, by creating community Of
interest" would safeguard Manchu-
kuoan stability from influences south
of the Great Wall and make North
China strategetically safer for Japan
viS-a-viS Russia.
Certainly, we do not expect any
war with the Soviet" he said, "but
the military must consider the strate-
gic problem"
