Peiping, China, Aug. 13.-(AP)-
Armed conflict between China and
Japan over long series of differ
ences was looked upon in informed
circles today as not improbable with
in a short time.
Japan's military activities in North
China and Inner Mongolia, which it
is believed will be speeded up because
of Moscow announcement increas-
ing the size of the red army, have
greatly aggravated the tension be-
tween Marking and Tokyo.
Japanese said efforts to induce
China to undertake diplomatic settle
ment Of a score of outstanding issues
had failed.
The Chinese, in turn, said this was
the result of China's fundamental dis
trust and fear of Japan, which they
allege under a guise of. economic de-
velopment was attempting to establish
a military hegemony.
American authorities here frankly
stated virtual deadlock in diploma
tic activities between China and
Japan did not augur well for peace in
the Orient.

Evening star., 1936-04-30
BY CARLISLE BARGERON.

A statement last night by Senator
Pat Harrison pointing out the fact
that the recently acquired Republican
brain trust includes three professors
who signed a petition in 1880 i'm
ploring President Hoover to veto the
Hawley-Smoot tariff act, got observers
to reminenscing on how politics was
played back in those days.
There is general agreement that
no man was more responsible for the
passage of the bill in the form 1t
was passed than the Senator himself.
Indeed, the bill was finally enacted
by margin of two votes, these votes
being supplied by Democratic Senators
Fletcher and Trammell, and it was an
open secret at the time that Majority
Leader Watson could get as many
Democratic votes as he needed to
pass the bill.
It was not in the final passage
of the bill, however. but the votes
that went into the writing Of it, that
Harrison played such a prominent
part. He has been generally credited
with responsibility of the progressives
losing the control of the bill they
seized at the outset and held over
the long months of its consideration
until just short while before it was
passed. in which time it was virtually
rewritten and made an industrial
rather than an agricultural" measure
Senator Borah. in the first instance

agricultural protection and denying
increased industrial protection.
Finally, with only few weeks left
to 60, the question of increased pro-
lection for dyestuffs came up. Senator
Harrison led a bolt Of II Democrats
away from the coalition and wrote
the dyestuff rates into the bill.
Charges we're made at the time that
they we're acting for their masters,
Raskob and the Du Points" These
gentlemen now seem to be the Demo-
Gratis idea of public enemies, begin
ming at No. /.
Broke Down Agreement.
This broke the coalition. A few
days before the coalition had been
broken by four progressives, Senator
Nye among them. when they voted for
increased rates on an industrial pro-
duct in which their States were in
terested. But when they realized what
this meant to their alignment they
changed their votes and explained
that although their States stood to
profit on this particular item, they
appreciated that it broke down the
agreement to write nothing but an
agricultural" bill.
After the bolt Of Harrison and his
Democratic associates on dyestuffs.
however, the progressives threw up
the sponge and from then on it was
q case OF trading, in which the two
opposing ailignments split into numer-
GUS blocks. 1t was the old question
of you vote for me and I will vote
for you"
Senator Harrison last night recalled
