Additional Japanese warships ar
rived off the port today to rein

Ambassador Shigeru Kawagoe in

of the anti-Japanese movement
throughout China.
The japanese also made 1t
clear that the Grand Fleet, which

The general policy of the Japa-

assassination in Shanghai by a
Chinese gunman Wednesday night
of a Japanese bluejacket, and
earlier murders of five Japanese
during the past year, appeared to
have been fixed along the follow
ing lines:
Diplomatic negotiations IN Nan
king will be continued. This de-
cision is important, meaning that
the Tokyo foreign office has over
ruled the imperial navy breaking
the tradition of Japan's "dual
diplomacy" under which the army
and navy have been accustomed
to act independently in foreign
affairs directly concerning them
and will be in charge of settle
ment of the murders. .
For the present Japan will
"speak softly but carry a big
stick" and will restrain her army
and navy leaders in China from

Woodring Named Temper

to Succeed Dern
LA GUARDIA MAY BE
PERMANENT CHOICE

HYDE PARK, Sept. 26. (UP).
President Rooscvelt's attention to-
day was turned entirely to his
campaign for reelection with his
home state of New York as his
first concern.
The president conferred today
with Mayor Fioreila La Guardia,
former Republican congressman,
who, it was rumored will become
permanent secretary of war dur
ing the next session of congress.
He also saw other New York state
leaders.
Harry WOodring, assistant sec
rotary of war under the late Sec
rotary George H.Dern yesterday
was appointed as temporary sue
cessor to Dern.
Woodring, 46, was defeated for
recollection in Kansas in 1882. He
is a past-commandcr of the Amer
lean Legion, thereby meeting the
presidents qualification that the
assistant secretary of war had to
be a prominent veteran.
BY profession, Woodring is a
banker. He is former Vice-presi-
dent of the Kansas Bankers Asso-
citation, and until his war depart
ment appointment was seriously
considered for various posts in
the treasury department.
In July, 1888, Woodring mar
ried Helen Coolidge, daughter Of
u. s. Senator Marcus A. Coolidge.
A daughter was born to them last
summer.
Meanwhile, at Hyde Park it was
said that President Roosevelt ex-
pected to start his campaign trip
through the west during the first
week in October.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2G (UP)
Harry H. Woodring, designated
last night by President Roosevelt
as secretary of war to succeed the
late George H. Dern, said that he
would try to promote can ade-
quate national defense in the in
terest of peace"
81 am very grateful to the pres
ident for the confidence he has
placed in me-" Woodring said.
my experience as assistant sec
rotary makes me realize the heavy
responsibility l will have in dis
charging the duties of the office
to the best of my ability | will
endeavor to carry out the policies
inaugurated and developed by
my distinguished predecessor and
close friend, the late Hon. George
H. Dern."

listed for many centuries, the best
known being perhaps those OF
Germany. CuXhaven, Stettin, Bre-
men, Bremerhaven, Emden and
Flensburg are all free ports.
But the most famous of all Is
Hamburg, some IS miles up the
River Elbe from the turbulent
North Sea.
Antwerp was one of the first
ports that offered freedom from
restrictions. This was in the FIT.
tenth century, when by the eX-
pedient of dispensing with all i'm.
porting regulations Antwerp
snatched away trade supremacy
from many other towns and ports.
EUROPEAN PORTS
Italy also has many tariff re-
strictions and barriers. Now she
has several open ports, including
Naples, Venice, Genoa and Leg
horn.
Fiume and Trieste handle trans
shipments for inland nations of
central Europe. Spain has several
free ports, including Barcelona.
Bilbao, Cadiz, Santander and Vigo.
Along the Baltic, Danzig has
been a free port for over 1000
years, and it has shared much Of
the northern trade.
But now that Poland has built
Gdynia, a handsome and self.
contained port, with every possible
facility for shipping and storage,
this port has been designated as
free area.

Representatives serve for two

years and their terms are
"staggered"-only one-third of the
terms expire every two years. The
Senate always has at least twice
as many old members as new.
The longer term, smaller mum.

U. S. FREE PORT

Work is fast progressing on
the site set apart as the free port
of New York city. 1t is located
on Staten Island, a place that,
unfortunately, many visitors to
Gotham never include in their
itinerary.
Now perhaps, with all the news
about the new port, travellers will
journey to lower Manhattan and
there board the ferries for a de-
lightful ride through the famed
harbor to old Staten Island.
The port is to be at Stapleton,
which is now mainly residential
despite it's distinctly nautical
flavor. A few miles south of
Stapleton is Dude Dorp, the earli-
est settlement of Europeans in
Staten Island, which was named
after the staten, or states. OF
their native Netherlands.
AT STAPLETON
Ships bound for the new free
port will pass through a zone
that will be heavily guarded and
barricaded from other shipping
areas by a high fence.
They will tie up at the four
piers and then display their goods
while they decide whether bust
ness will justify hurdling the
tariff barrier. or while customs
lawyers decide on various regu.
lations and clasSifications OF
goods destined for entry.

we will hear from now until NO

It is the practice in Russia, ruth
lessly enforced, that neither IN
dividual nor private companies
may possess large sums of money.
It is the theory of state socialism,
and of those highest in power IN
the New Deal, that individuals
and private companies should not
possess large sums Of money.
In Russia they have taken away
this private ownership by the
sword. In this country they would
take it away by taxation. The
founder of the Democratic party,
Thomas jefferson, said:
"The purse Of the people Is
the real seat of Sensibility. Let
it be drawn upon largely, and
