Japan has informed the United
States she has no territorial ambi-
lions in China, and will welcome
the cooperation Of America ana
other nations in developing the
republics vast resources after the
present conflict is ended.
This was learned today on the
highest authority.
The revelation came after China
lodged a warning with the State
Department that a japanese vic
tory would destroy Americas $780,
O0O,0 commerce in the Far East.
The Chinese government in
formed Secretary of State Hull
Japan sought to bar all foreign
trade other than her own from
China, and cripple Americas cot
ton and textile export trade by
flooding worlc markets with raw
cotton produced by Chinese eoolie
labor and wit cheap textiles from
Japanese looms.
On the contrary, Japan told the
State department she would wei
come the aid of the United States
and other Western powers in de-
veloping and promoting China'S
trade.

The defense followed a resolu-

chusetts and James A. Reed, for

with which President Roosevelt
had treated lawyers in his Con-
stitution Day speech.
Lazarus, in his address today,
given before the section of bar
association activities, first chided
the bar for its adverse referendum
on the Presidents court plan. He
said:

Bombing Of Cities

GENEVA, Sept. % d.N.S)
Putting more than SO nations on
record as condemning japanese
air raids against undefended
Chinese cities, the League of Ma
lions Assembly today unanimously
adopted it's Far Eastern commit
tees resolution aSsailing bombing
of civilians.
The assembly vote supporting
the committees action had been
expected. Twenty two nations
voted the committee resolution
through yesterday, with the United
States represented as a nonvoting
observer.
So VOICE DISAPPROVAL
Fifty-two nations were repre-
sented on the assembly when it
met to put the stamp of world dis
approval-for the second time in
six years-on Japan's action in the
Far East. On the first occasion,
the League condemned Japan's
seizure of Manchuria and estab-
lishment of her puppet state of
Manchukuo.
In a speech that preceded the
final vote, Foreign Minister Del
Vayo, of the Spanish government,
declared:
"Spain disapproves of the
bombardments Of Marking as
much as it disapprove3 of the
bombardments of Madrid"
TOLL PUT AT 10000
v. Wellington Koo, Chinese rep
resentative on the League, thanked
the assembly for the rapidity of
its action, and said the resolution
would have immediate repercus-
sions in helping the cause of hui
manity. He estimated 10000 civil
ians had been killed thus far as a
result of Japan's air raids.
Meanwhile the advisory commit
tee prepared to name a subcomit-
tee to study the Sino-Japanese
conflict.

the time, but since then Captain Lovett had
thought of several amendments.
This was after young Jerry Dean had talked
his father into putting up some thousand
dollars for an old ferry hull, an engineering
lunatic had designed a superstructure for her,
and a shipyard had carried out the idea mainly
in Duralumin The owner of the shipyard got
his money strictly in advance on the theory
that no one would ride in the atrocity - in
which opinion he was heartily seconded by
every shellback between San Francisco and
Sitka.
This belief, however, turned out to be
wrong. No sooner had young Mr.. Dean run his
trials and put the kwanice into competition
with the Chinook, than things began to happen.
Turning from his morbid gazing at the face
IN the window, Captain Lovett watched eight
cen cars and five trucks disappear into the
Kwanice's car space. He heard the metal doors
slam. Then he reached up and blew defiant
below on his whistle, threw the telegraph to
Full Ahead and heard the familiar exhaust of
the Chinook's old triple-expansions. The
Kwanice hooted brazenly on her streamlined air
horn and backed out of the slip in his wake.

The mate, standing out on the foredeck, ready
to help let down the shore apron, glared up

mouth-corner remark to deck hand, standing
by.
Eight automobiles, racing their engines on
the Chinooks car deck, lurched heavily, and
an old lady clutching an umbrella, bit her
tongue and said she was going to write
letter to the company about it. 1t wouldn't
have done her any good. Captain Lovett was
the company.
The ferry moored, her skipper watched
morosely as the cars bumped over the apron
and vanished into the darkness of the pier shed.
He watched the first passengers come aboard
for the return trip, followed by five cars and
milk truck. Then he reached up and tugged
a savage yank on the whistle cord. The
Chinook's old steam siren sent whoo and

leaned gloomily out and gazed across the slip.
What he looked at was the pleasant boyish
face of young man with red hair, on which
was perched white yachting cap. The face
was looking out of large circular window
aft on the port side of a silver whale. That
is, it looked like half-submerged whale, but

The Chinook was half mile out in the bay
when her rival, having made the turn around,
came after her, with the water rolling over her
long overhang. A mile out, the Chinook rolled
as the Kwanice surged past. Out of the tail of
his eye, Captain Lovett could see young Dean

giving the Chinook spoke or two as she drew
level with the Duwamish head buoy. But in
his heart he was worried. The Chinook was his
fortune - and half loaded all the time she was
hardly paying her way.
He made the round trip and got into his
Seattle slip ten minutes after the stream
liner - beating his time by 20 minutes - was
out in the bay again. He turned the wheel
over to the mate. ran lightly down the ccm-
