During the last month several
incidents have happened tending
to bring into prominence the Far
East and possibilities to affect the
relations OF the United States and
Japan. About three weeks ago,
the United States called TO the at

the heels OF news telling o. Japan

Great Wall, the State Department
reiterated its faith in anti-war
treaties and observed that it eX-
pected other nations to observe
them. Shortly thereafter, the
Treasury's silver purchase pro

Chinese currency system and made
it unnecessary Cor the Chinese

SOVIET AMITY SEEN
FOR BALTIC STATES
(By Associated Press)

RIGA, Latvia, June 3.-Ap-
prehensive over the future of the
League of Nations and their own
security, the Baltic buffer states
are evidencing a tendency to be-
come more friendly with the
Soviet Union.
The chiefs of the general staffs
Of EstOnia, Latvia and Lithuania
have conferred recently in Moscow
with Soviety military leaders and
witnessed demonstration of Soviet
military strength.
Definite military alliances.
either open or secret, are rumored.
AS small independent countries,
born of the Versailles treaty, the
Baltic states in the past have con-
sidered the League their chief
guarantor of security.
Failure Of the League to obtain
even an armiStice in the Italian
Ethiopian conflict, and the Euro
pean political situation in general,
have brought cooling attitude to-
ward Geneva.
Lithuania's dispute with Ger
many over Memel, and with Po-
land over Wilma, have in the past
prevented close cooperation be-
tween the Baltic states themselves.
Even this situation, it is believed,
may now be CLOSED over.

CATSPAW REDS
SEEN BOOSTING
NANKINC POWER
PATRIOTS WHO HAVE BEEN
PUTTING BLAME ON CON-
MUNISTS NOW REALIZE
TRUE SITUATION
By c. Y. MCDANIEL
ASSOCIATED Press)

NANKING, June 3.-One hun
bred per cent nationalist patriots
who have been blaming commu-
nism for most of the ills which
have afflicted China for a decade,
are beginning to realize that they
have the reds to thank for hasten
ing the downfall OF corrupt pro-
vincial warlords.
japanese spokesman frequently
charge that Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek connives with the COM
munists to Invade" territories of
warlords whose allegiance to Nan
king has never gone beyond the
signing of ciYcular kilograms ex-
tolling the ideals O.. the late DR..
Sun Yat-Sen.
Such charges are Indignantly
denied by the generalissimo.
Events In Regular Course
But the fact remains that
wherever the reds threaten today,
tomorrow will be visited by
Chiang's legions, and the day after
will undergo a political purge with
the regional warlord either bend
ing the knee to Markings chief or
getting out.
A few years ago General Chang
was asking for men and money to
exterminate the communists which
he had surrounded in Kiangsi
province. The men and money
were forthcoming, but the "com-
pletely surrounded" reds found a
way throug h the government
Gordon.
They moved into Human domain
of warlOrd Ho Chen, whose politi-
cal sentiments took a sudden pro-
Chang turn. Ho Chen remains in
Human, but with his wings clipped
Not so fortunate were the two
warlords Of Wweichow, which was
the next province in the commu-
nists' line of march. Both lost
their political heads.
Troops Always In Pursuit
On into Yunnan marched the
communists. Holly pursuing, but
never quite catching up, came the
government forces. When General
Chang stepped out of his private
airplane in the provincial capital
he was accorded one of the great
est welcomes he had ever received.
Warlord Lung Yum had seen to
that.
Result: General Chang and his
army hurried away to neighbOring
Szechwan. where the communists
were making life miserable FOR the
half a dozen war barons who had
been fighting each other for years.
Playing these warlords off against
each other in the process of sup
pressing the reds, General Chang
got the upper hand.
General Yen Hsi-Shan is the lat
est Independent to be forced to
drink the bitter tea of commu-
nism. Six Marking divisions today
hold the balance of power in
Shansi province which Yen has
held as a private domain for 20
years.
Now the reds are threatening
again in the south near the borders
of Kwangtung and Kwangse, and
two more warlords are wondering
whether history is going to repeat,

ciples of the corporation tax re-
vision.
Ready in Week
A bill will be framed by the
subcommittee, probably by the
end Of next week. It will be
submitted to the full House Ways
and Means Committee before
hearings, open.
Chairman Hill CD Of Wash.
ington, Of the subcommittee, said
o bill would be drafted and ex-
pressed the opinion the Presi-
dents plan would be incorpor.
ated.
The committee also had In.
formally accepted the proposed
"windfall' tax On processing taxes
freed by court order, but the
question Of new processing taxes
on over 80 commodities was still
undecided.
With Chairman Doughton (D0
Of North Carolina, Of the full
committee, who represents q to-
bacco district, fighting processing
taxes, 1t was possible that they
may be rejected entirely.
Fight Appears Certain
A fight was certain over the
amount Of the tax bill. An exemp.
tion scneme on reserves would
lower the Treasury's estimate Of
q gain Of $500, ,000, 900. revenues
through the undistributed earn
ings levy.
A strong bloc on the Ways
and Means Committee favored
slashing the total of the bill on
the ground that increasing reve-
nues make unnecessary the full
program Of the President. They
are hopeful that March Is tax
returns will bolster their conten-
tionS.
The alternative taxes suggested
by the Treasury-many Of them
peculiarly distasteful to powerful
groups in the House-were for
the most part discarded.
Representatives Treadway (RO,
and Mccormack CD of Massa-
chusetts, were prepared. however,
to fight for q manufacturers sales

they hold, would be far more
burdensome on the people.
