YOUNG EMPEROR
 FACING CRISIS

Russian advisers dominated her po- litical destiny--as they did.
 Faced Outlook Bravely
 But the young emperor faced the outlook bravely. He held aloof when western nations, under the leadership of Britain, sent troops to China and took no part In the international undercover activities which led to the busting of Soviet influence In China and the cre- altno of the so-called national gov- ernment in Nanking.
 He withstood tremendous pressure from his own generals when the revolution swept north and 1t was not until Manchuria Japan's Lifeline" - was menaced that he consented to a warning.
 Troops Went In
 That warning was that order had to be preserved in those areas In north China where Japanese inter- ests were heaviest. When disorder came the emperor moved. His troops went in. There was bitter battle in Tsinan-Fu, in Shantung province, and the spread of revolu- ton to the north was stayed for the time. When 1t moved again Hirohito restrained his army and the dream of Sun Yat Sen--a united, republi- can China, appeared at hand.
 The emperor did agree with his generals, however. that Manchuria must be kept in peace but he fav- ored peaceful measures rather than the forceful ones which his army finally used.
 Worked For Solution
 When the die was cast, however, and the Manchurian war was on the emperor worked tirelessly with his advisers to find an acceptable solution. He may or may not have the creation of the independent been satisfied with what haHpened , empire of Manchukuo, but he did assure Manchukuos independence so far as Japan is concerned, for all time. This was done by his issuance of q personal rescript - the most solemn order of the Japanese im- perial house.
 While the emperor works SO quiet ly in Jenan that his hand cannot be seen 1t is believed certain that Hlrohito favors peaceful, develop ment everywhere and that he wil continue to do 50.

ANACOST|A LEVEE
MEASURE REVIVED
Flood and Appeal for More
w. P. A. Funds Spur Ef-
forts in Legislature.
BY stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, March 20-The presi-
Dental appeal for the appropriation
of new w. p. A. funds, coupled with
current flood conditions at Bladens-
burg, spurred anew today the efforts
of Prince Georges County legislators
to enact the bill providing for the
construction Of levees to hold back
the waters of the Anacostia River.
Delegate John S. White, sponsor Of
the measure, declared this morning
that the message in which President
Roosevelt urged Congress two days
ago to allocate an additional $780,
100000 for the development Of projects
during the forthcoming year lends a
definite ray of hope for the success
of the drive for Federal grant to
finance the work.
Will Speed Bill.
White said the county delegation,
realizing that funds may be made
available at any time, is prepared to
return favorable report on his bill
at once and will then endeavor to
hasten its passage through the House
and Senate as fast as the State Legis-
latures rules will permit.
Federal officials have admitted the
need of levees for some time, he de-
clared, but the urgent necessity for
their immediate construction has
never been brought home more for
chilly than by the conditions now
11rouo;I;rO ~
Immediate enactment of the levee
measure, he pointed out, would enable
county residents to strike while the
iron is hot" in their quest for the
100000 grant they seek for the
project.
Park Commissions Agencies.
The Bladensburg bill presented by
White would place in the hands of
the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission the task
Of obtaining rights of way for the
levees and also the responsibility of
maintaining them after they have
been built.
1t was introduced after several Off
cials announced that the lack of any
official agency to assume responsibility
for the work stood in the way of any
appropriation the Works Progress Ad-
miniStration might make for the job.
