Activities Are Cruelest
in History.

Ey the Associated Press.
Chinese Ambassador c. T. Wang in
formal statement today denounced
Japan's military activities in China as

furnishes no parallel"
The envoy said at press conference
that he intended to convey the state
ment to Secretary Hull for his in
formation. He added, in response to
questions, that he had no instructions
from his government to solicit United
States aid in the Sino-Japanese crisis.
Borrowing phrases used by Secre-
tary Hull in a sharp note dispatched
to Japan earlier this week protesting
against indiscriminate bombing of
large -combatant Chinese popula-
tions, Wang condemned the Japanese
war machine for having grossly vio-
lated the principles of humanity and
the pertinent canons Of international
law"
He reiterated earlier accusations
that the japanese military has en-
ployed poison gases in its operations
in North China and asserted that
"ferocious aerial bombardment is the
keynote Of japanese strategy"
The Ambassador said he understood
the same statement was being issued
by representatives Of the Chinese gov

Some one on the bridge, the fisher

struggling woman, and she held it
until they could row their boat to her
side.

FARLEY MAY GIVE

Word on His Future Plans

neutrality-suspicious. those who
think President Roosevelt may seek
a third term-are watching closely for
official word on Postmaster General
Farley's future plans.
Some Of them would regard his re-
tirement from the cabinet, even
though he retained the Craftsmanship
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee, as tip-off that the Chief Execu-
tive had made up his mind not to
run again despite any amount of pos
sible urging.
If Mr.. Roosevelt has any third-term
ideas, these men argue, he would not
permit withdrawal from Washington
of the man who directed his political
campaigns so successfully through two
Democratic National Conventions and
two presidential elections.
They recalled that. despite recur-
rent criticism from some OF the Presi-
dents closest supporters, Farley held
both the cabinet and the party posts
throughout Mr.. Roosevelt's first term
and took only leave Of absence from
the Post Office Department to con-
duct the 1885 campaign.
Acceptance Delayed.
Farley is understood to have agreed
to become president of the Pierce
Arrow Motor Corp. He has delayed ac-
cepting the post, it is reported, until
preparation Of an S. e. c. registration
statement for a new Pierce-Arrow
stock issue.
In his two present positions he has
served the President in three major
ways-as political adviser and organ
izer, as cabinet member and as whip
ping boy"
Even if he kept the National Com
mittee post his return to private busi-
ness undoubtedly would curtail his
political activities. AS business ex-
ecutive he would not have much time
to devote to Democratic organization
work.
Farley's political activities have not
been limited to campaigns. He con-
stantly has been in touch with politi-
cal lieutenants, making speeches and
handling patronage matters.
Record for Travel.
No other cabinet officer has ap-
preached Farley's record for travel
and speechmaking. In campaigns and
out, he has gone back and forth across
the Nation lauding the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and replying to criticisms
Of its policies.
Nor has he ignored the Post Office
Department. Friends say he is proud
Of its record. In answer to criticism
Farley has declared that for the hrst
time in years the department is on a
business basis and that it operates
with surpluses instead of deficits.
AS whipping boy" Farley has fire.

sponsibility for administration policies

Announcement that the District
Commissioners would permit police
men and firemen to sell tickets for a
boxing exhibition to raise money for
the free school lunch program for
needy school children, when two re-
quirements are met by the benefit fight
promoters, was made today by Com
missioner Melvin C. Hazen.
His statement apparently ended a
brief controversy which arose when
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., leader of the
civic group which is attempting to
raise 100000 for the free lunch pro-
gram, gave out statement implying
the Commissioners were not Inter
ested.'
Hazen explained that the Board of
Commissioners had not acted yet today
on Mrs. Boyle's request for Police and
Fire Department cooperation merely
because the Board of Education had
not yet sanctioned the revamped school
lunch plan. and because promoters OF
the boxing exhibition had not filed
application for a permit for the event.
To Waive Standing Rule.
Hazen made it clear that the Com
missioners would waive their standing
rule which bars policemen and fire.
men in uniform from selling tickets
for any event if the boxing exhibition
permit were granted and if the School
Board offered no objection. These
two requirements are expected to be
met.
Mrs. Boyle had advised Hazen yes
terday that an answer to her request
must be given at once, since she
claimed the boxing exhibition could
not succeed and would not be held un-
less flremen and policemen were
authorized to engage in. the ticket
sale. The benefit is to be staged by
Joe Turner at Griffith Stadium Oc-
tober IL, under Mrs. Boyle's plan.
In explaining the need for police
and flremen as statesmen, Mrs. Boyle
said "they know the people in their
neighborhoods and on their beats
and can reach them better than any
other groups"
For several years the Commission
ers had chung to rule which for
bids policemen or f1remen to sell
tickets for any event while on duty
or in uniform. This was adopted
after business interests protested they
were being coerced into buying tickets
by uniformed officers.
Favor Lifting Ban.
Mrs. Boyle advised the Commission.
ers that spokesmen for the Board o1
Trade, Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, the Federation of Wom-
ems Club and the Federation of Busi-
ness Mems Associations favored the
lifting of the ban in this case.

ing on plans to stage benefit foot
ball game at the end of the season
between an all-star team picked from

said one-third of the 100000 needed
ought to be pledged before the project
was started and that the foot ball
game proceeds would help offset the
second third.
