confiscation of Japanese properties in
China. It demands complete freedom
of assembly, speech and press, re-
leose of political prisoners, and an
end to civil war.
"Despite rumors that the Marking
regime is preparing to fight Japan,
Chang Kai-shek has taken vigorous
steps to suppress the growing anti
Japanese moveemnt, thus carrying
out one of the items in Hirota's
'three-point' program.
"On Feb. 20 the Marking govern
ment issued an emergency law to
cope with anti-Japanese activities. BY
this law, troops and police are en-
powered to use force or any other eff
fective means to dissolve meetings
and parades, to suppress propaganda
in the form of writings, pictures or
lectures, and to punish all persons
who give shelter to violators of these
provisions. Since the issuance of this
edict, the Chinese police have raided
the dormitories of Yenching and
Tsinghua universities at Peiping, and
Futan university at Shanghai, in or
der to arrest the leaders of the stu
dent organizations. At times the
whole student body has resisted these
arrests, suffering brutal clubbings
from the police"

CHINA RESISTING
laps SEPARATELY
Students and Professionals
Generally Deeply Re-
sent Invaders
By LESLIE ETCHEL
Press Staff Writer

CHINA'S DESPERATE fight to es-
cape being swallowed by Japan is told
in a dramatic manner by T. A. Bis
son in Foreign Policy Bulletin.
This portrayal Of China's struggle
is worth reading, for the succinct and
complete manner in which it des-
cribes the situation.
Mr. Bison says:
"The sudden elevation of Shigeru
Kawagoe. former consul general at
Tientsin who worked closely with the
Kwantung army to the post of am
bassador at Marking offers one more
indication of the pressure steadily ap-
piled by Japan to reduce China to the
status of a protectorate. This policy
is officially formulated in the three
point program, elaborated by Premier
Hirota when he occupied tht foreign
ministry. which calls for recognition
of 'Manchoukuo' by Marking, suppress
sion of anti-Japanese military action
against communism.
ANTI-JAPANESE CRUSHED
"Since December, 1885, a broad
movement of resistance to Japanese
aggression has developed among the
Chinese people. Touched off by the
student mass demonstrations, the
movement has spread to college pro-
fessors and intellectuals middle and
primary school teachers, women's or
CARNATIONS, newspaper reporters and
editors, workers and farmers groups,
and business organs.

various groups have co-ordinated

Mcdonald from getting a clear ma
jority.
Graham Centers on HOey
The Graham supporters, confident
that Hoey has already reached his
maximum strength, are going to con-
centrate on Hoey from now on rath-
er than Mcdonald, in the belief that
by SO doing they can batter Hoey
Gown to third place and boost Sandy
into second place-the most they
have been hoping for since the cam
paign started. They are confident
now, as they have been from the be-
ginning, that if Graham can get into
second place in the first primary even
though Mcdonald may have a good
lead, Sandy can beat him in the sec
ond primary This reasoning, of
course, is based on the assumption
that 95 per cent of the HOey support
ors will vote for Graham rather than
Mcdonald in the final run-off. This
is also the reason why the Graham
strategists are understood to have de-
cided to center their drive against
Hoey rather than Mcdonald from now
on, in the belief that they have every
thing 10 gain and nothing to lose
by SO doing. Not that they are going
to let up on Mcdonald entirely, since
lthey realize that they must keep
pining away at him constantly in
order to keep him from getting a ma
Jority in the first primary. But it is
no secret that the Graham council of
war has decided that for the time be-
ing, at least, more votes are to be OBJ
tanned by attacking Hoey than by
concentrating their fire on McDon-
add
HOey In Tight Place
All of which is getting Hoey into a
rather tight place and making his
managers and strategists boiling mad,
especially since there is not much
they can do about it, observers agree.
For the Hoey forces cannot afford to
open up on Graham, since If Hoey
gets into a second primary with DR..
Mcdonald, as they are confident he
will, he will need the support and
good will of as many of the Graham
hackers as he can get. AS result,
Hoey and his managers have been
compelled so far to center their fire
on Mcdonald, although it is no sec
ret that they would like to take some
hot pot shots at Graham. But they
know that the Graham forces are
claiming that unless Sandy gets in to

TARIFFS AS BASIS
FOR future WARS
Foreign Trade, Too, Chok-
ed by Throttling of In
ternational Sales
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, May 9.-Secretary of
State Cordell Hull's recent argument
before the United States Chamber of
Commerce. in convention in Wash
ington. for the elimination of inter-
national trade barriers, as the only
means of preventing future wars, has
attracted rather less attention than it
was entitled to.
I have had some personal expert
ence with trade barriers.
Just after the World War I was
running an English language weekly
newspaper-the River Plate Ameri-
can-in the Argentine Republic.
Yankee business was booming there
The Latin Americas are chiefly agri-
cultural, pastoral and mineral. They
produce few finished goods-mostly
raw materials. For manufactured ar
ticles they had been, in pre-war days.
mainly dependent upon Europe. The
war shut off this source of supplies.
At it's end there literally was a South
America famine in the most ordinary
manufactured commodities.
Europe, in ruins, was slow in get
ting back into the market.
The United States, keyed up to a
maximum, could fill all orders.
WHAT TARIFF DID
Latin American buyers perforce
turned to the United States.
Yankee branch houses opened UP
daily in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro,
MOntevideo and elsewhere selling
goods wholesale.
My little newspaper got the adver-
Using benefit of this traffic.
Then the Fordney-McCumber tariff
was enacted, practically barring
South American products out Of the
United States.
Immediately Yankee sales in Latin
America fell flatter than a pancake.
If the Latins could not sell in the
United States they could not buy from
the United States. And Europe was
beginning to get back into action. The
Latins switched their orders to the
other side of the Atlantic. Most of
the North American branch house
quit My advertising business shrivel-
ed at a great rate.
At this juncture an ill-advised in
dividual made a bid for my paper.
Believe me, I sold it to him. 1t col
lapsed subsequently.
SALES ONCE MORE KILLED
Nevertheless there was a little pick
up in North American trade later.
The situation gradually readjusted
itself About 1925 DR.. Julius Klein,
then head of the u. S. Commerce De-
partment's bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce, told me that, while
into-American business still was I'M
satisfactory, it was improving some
what
At this point the HawleySmoot
tariff was enacted-the highest thing
of it's kind in history.
North American sales in South
America were snuffed out as an ex-
ploding soap-bubble vanishes. And
this time there has been no recovery,
except in a few republics with which
the United States have made recipro-
cal trade agreements. In these few
cases-though the bargains are mere
ly three or four months Old-there
already has been an increase in Uncle
Sans exports.

most of the Graham supporters will

and they are afraid there may be
some truth in the claim.
Mcdonald Light on Sandy
It is also a noticeable fact that DR..
Mcdonald, while still blazing away at
Hoey in every speech, is dealing very
gently with Graham, in spite of the
fire and birthstone which Sandy has
been turning loose on "the good pro-
fessor" the last week or two. The
reason for this, of course, is believ-
ed to be the conviction on the part of
Mcdonald that if he does get into a
second primary it is more likely to
be with Hoey than with Graham, in
which case he is hoping that more of

the Graham votes will go to him than
to Hoey, as the Graham strategists
have been claiming.
The 0Hoey strategists believe that
if all those opposed to DR.. Mcdonald
would center on Hoey, he could cas-
ily be defeated, probably in the first
primary. The Graham managers
however, are equally convinced that
Dr. Mcdonald cannot be defeated ex-
cept in a second primary and that
onlv Mr. Graham can beat him, so
that the Hoey forces should get be-
hind Graham The Mcdonald forces
are hoping that the fight between
Hoev and Graham will become so hot
and so bitter that Mcdonald will win
