.CHINA'SCR|SIS
WITH ALARM
Sino-Jap War Looms
As Situation Grows
Steadily Worse
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
International News Service

Fear Of war in Europe today was
overshadowed by the imminent
danger Of a new Far Eastern explo.
sion.
Washington watched with grave
concern the reoccupation OF
Shanghai and other Chinese cities
by Japanese armed forces in re-
taliation for a series Of six recent
killings of Japanese citizens, eli
NAKED by the Staying OF a jap
aneSe sailor near Shanghai's In,
ternational Settlement.
1t was feared the new Sino.
japanese crisis might lead to war
on a major scale.
Japan'S threate to occupy all
strategic China cities unless the
Chinese government stamps out
anti-JapaneSe sentiment added to
the general concern.
Five.Year Struggle
Japan's swift occupation of
Shanghai and Hankow, two of
China's largest cities, came in the
anniversary month of the Mukden
incident, which precipitated the
Sino-JapaneSe struggle five years
ago and led to the occupation of
Manchuria and creation Of the
Japanese controlled puppet state
Of Manchukuo.
In January, 1882, an attack on
Japanese Buddhist priests by q
Chinese mob resulted in the
Shanghai war when the Chinese
city Of Chapel, bordering the In
ternational Settlement was leveled
by Japanese bombardment. The
Shanghai area was defended by
China's famous nineteenth route
army, which finally withdrew after
q month of heroic fighting.
Nineteenth Army Gone
The situation at Shanghai to.
day closely resembled the Japan.
ese occupation in 1882. The Nine.
teenth Route Army is no longer
in the area but has been bivou.
acked at Pakhoi, treaty port in
southeastern Kwantung Province,
where a Japanese druggist was
slain by a Chinese mob three
weeks ago. -...
Authorities on Far Eastern af.
fairs here viewed the present
crisis as charged with the graveSt
possibilities.

perhaps the cleareSt picture Of
the workings of a strike-breaking

Describing a New Orleans street

said E. E. MacGuffin, Of YoungS-

He said MacGuffin was paid $50

"The effects Of this scarcity
program go far beyond this
year. They are rObbing the
American farmer not only Of his
former export markets, but even
of his home markets."
In proof of his charge, Landon
cited the import statistics Of the
United States Bureau of Agricul-
ture Economics. With millions Of
bushels of Argentine corn flowing
into the country Landon pointed
to the empty Iowa corn cribs. He
said:
"The real function Of the Gov.
ernment is to help the farmer
produce and to finance the
Carry-over crops for such situa-
tionS as this report on the i'm

closes. That is exactly what the
Republican party viii do. Our
party stands for production;
not destruction. 1t Is for CO.
operation with the farmer; not
coercion. If our democracy Is
to survive, that is the only way"
The Republican nominees new
farm program-pledging preserva-
ton of the family type farm and
restoration Of permanent farm
prosperity-continued to draw
rousing approval from farmers
and farm leaders. Among hun.
dreds Of congratulatory kilograms
received by the nominee was one
from Senator Charles L. McNary
(R.) of oregon, ranking Repub-
lican on the Senate Agricultural
Committee and author Of the old
McNary-Haugen farm relief bill.
McNary wired:

VIEWS DIFFER
ON CLINIC PLAN

Divergence of opinion among
physicians of the District on a
proposal that two municipal poly
clinic hospitals be erected here
became evident today.
One group of the doctors - the
liberal element - believes the
plan, brought forward by DIR.
George Rutland, health officer,
deserves study.
Another group, a spokesman
for which yesterday denounced
the proposition as constituting
Estate medicine" declares it de-
sires to preserve the taxpayer S
money" He said:
eve want to cooperate with
DR.. Rutland in every way, and
in the most economical way.
The Medical Society desires to
be helpful to District citizens,
yet conserve taxpayers money.
"ClinicS are already operating
here and the best doctors are
giving their time and service,
which costs the District
nothing"

Commissioners Seek
To Pare Budget
Figures for D. c.

Conferences on the possibility
Of decreasing the 1878 budget
estimates for the Board of Public
Welfare were begun today by the
District Commissioners, who sum-
moned to the District Building
the heads Of institutions con-
nected with the Welfare Depart
ment.
Efforts were being made dur
ing the discussions, at which each
welfare head was to be heard
individually, to pare the esti-
mates for such branches as Gal
linger Hospital, the Home for
the Aged, the District Jail and
direct relief.
Demands for a total budget
Of $11,381,792 were made by
Elwood Street, director of public
welfare, when the $4,000, 900
total budget for all District activi-
ties was originally proposed.
40 Per Cent Boost
The $11,000,0OO request, due to
be shaved downward during to-
days conferences, represented a
20 per cent increase over the
funds allotted to the welfare de-
partment for the current year.
Claims that the budget for
this year is inadequate were
made by Street about a week
ago, when he urged citizens of
the District to descend on Con-
gresS with a mass request for an
additional 100000 to tide his
department over the coming win
ter.
Among the important items in
the Board of Public Welfare eSti-
mate is the demand of $4,000, 900
