May Meet in Brussels

II OW far President Roosevelt is
IL willing to go in the effort to
stop Japan in China is what other
powers, especially Great Britain,
are eager to know. The people of
the United States also would like to
be informed in that matter. The
British statesmen wish America to
take the lead, and also they would
like the suggested conference of the
nine-power treaty signatories to be
held in Washington. This latter sug-
gestion is definitely opposed in our
capital, and so it was believed
Brussels might be selected as the
meeting place. Cities in Switzer-
land also were considered.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who conferred with
Secretary of State Hull, Undersecre-
tary Sumner Welles and Norman
Davis, his rowing ambassador, was
represented as being strongly
averse to taking a solitary lead in
the action to check the japanese.
Apparently he preferred that the
"quarantining'' of nations guilty of
international lawlessness" which
he proposed in his Chicago speech
should be limited to a united inter-
national moral stand.
The National Council for Proven
ton of War, representing part of
the extreme peace sentiment in the
United States, announced that its
annual meeting had declared for i'm
mediate invocation of the neutrality
law which the President has not
seen fit to put in operation. The
council was strongly against a boy
colt on japanese goods, believing
this would only aggravate the stu

Mussolini BaIks

DREMIER MUSSOLINI politely
but definitely refused to take part
with Great Britain and France in a
discussion of the removal of volun-
teers from Spain, unless Germany
also participated. France threat
ened to open the frontier for the
passage of men and munitions for
the loyalists, but decided to await
the approval of the British govern
ment.
Prime Minister Chamberlain and
other ministers fastened to London
for a special cabinet meeting to
consider this serious situation. 1t
was felt that Mussolini was deter
mined to keep his volunteers" in
Spain and would send more men
there if he thought necessary.
; FRANCOIS insurgent forces pushed
forward in Aragon, and Madrid was
being subjected to heavy lombard
ment by his artillery.

America Backs Up League

n ENOUNCING Japan as the ag-
- gressor in the conflict in China
and accusing Tokyo of violating
both the nine-power treaty and the
Kellogg BRAND pact, the United
States government lined up with the
League of Nations.
Secretary of State Hull issued a
statement to this effect, asserting
that Japan's action in China was
inconsistent with the principles
that should govern the relationships
between nations and was contrary
to the provisions of the two treaties.
1t was indicated that the United
States would participate in a con-
ference of the powers signatory to
the nine-power pact, which was
called for by the league.
Fifty member nations of the
league voted for the resolution
branding Japan as an invader and
treaty violator and warning of more
drastic action if Tokyo does not
mend its ways. China was assured
of the moral support of these pow
ers, which agreed to take no action
that would weaken China's power of
resistance. Poland and Siam re-
Trained from voting.
The Aga Khan, Indian prince who
is president of the league assem-
bly,, sent messages to the signers of
the nine-power treaty and to Ger
many and Russia, asking them to
convene Immediately.
These events followed closely
upon President Roosevelt's startling
address at the dedication of boule-
ward bridge in Chicago, which
turned out to be perhaps the most
important speech he ever has made.
Reiterating his determination to
keep America out of war, he said:
''The peace, the freedom, and the
security of 80 per cent of the popu-
lation of the world is being leopard
lied by the remaining 10 per cent
who are threatening a breakdown of
all international order and law"
He continued: "The peace-loving
nations must make a concerted eff
fort in opposition to those violations
of treaties and those ignorings of
humane instincts which today are
creating state of international an
archy from which there is no escape
through mere isolation or neutrality.
We are determined to keep
out Of war, yet we cannot insure
ourselves against the disastrous eff
fects of war and the dangers of in
Movement"

that the lawmakers would be

alton of eight regional boards to

sources.

Japs Win BIG Battle

DISPATCHES from Shanghai said
- the Japanese forces in north
China had won a big victory in
Hopei province, breaking through
the Chinese lines at Shichiachuang
on vital railway after three days
of fierce fighting. However, the Chi
nese claimed to have strengthened
their positions in that region and it
was reported the communist eighth

the rear and flank of the japanese
columns in Shansi province.

asserted that China, not Japan, had
violated the treaties. The anti-Jap-

Chinese troops, said the statement,

disclaimed any desire to annex
parts of Chinese territory, and de-

French Slickers.
DOLCE are still trying to rou

DOLCE are still trying to round
up the slickers who, in one day,
raided twenty-nine banks scattered
all over France. This reminds a
fellow of 1881, when the bank ex-
aminers were coroners simultane-
ously sitting on the mortal remains
of an even larger number of Amer
lean banks, the main difference be-
ing that these French banks were
looted by outside parties.
According to dispatches, this job
was accomplished through fraudu-
lent credentials for strangers pre-
senting forged drafts. But I beg
leave to doubt that part, remem-
boring when I turned up at various
outlying points over there with prop
er identifcations and a perfectly
good letter of credit. What excite
ment then on the part of the cashier
(spade beard) and what deep dis
tress for the president (trellis
whiskers) and what stifled means
from the board of directors (assort-
ed beavers) when, finally, they had
to fork over. Why you can wreck
a perfectly good bank here in less
time than it takes to get certified
check for $9.75, less exchange,
cashed in French provincial bank.
But should it develop that any of
these recently stolen francs were
earmarked for payment to us on ac-
count of that war debt-brethren
that would indeed be news.

The Leagues New Head.
7 TAKE back all ever said about
the League of Nations being as
futile as a fly swatter in a saloon
brawl
The league has a new president
the Aga Khan, who has the largest
private income on earth because
100000 Mohammedans regard
him as divine and pay for the priv
ilege, often going hungry in order
to do so. And he certainly is quail
fed to head a society dedicated to
peace-he never parted from any
of his wives except with the utmost
harmony.
Well, to celebrate his election, the
Aga Khan gave the most gorgeous
banquet ever staged in Geneva
$500 bottles of champagne and 300
pounds of caviar.
Thus did the league justify its
right to existence. There were but
few flies in the ointment. Ethiopia's
delegates were either deceased or
missing, the league having drawn
the color line, so to speak, which
was more than Mussolini did when
he wiped out their country last year.
Spain's delegates likewise were alb
sent, being mostly dead or else
fighting one another.

but with just a hint of garlic.

III COULDN'T promise to pinch-hit for
crack chef in gourmet's kitchen or
anything like that. But l can cook
well enough to satisfy myself. And if
you want my opinion, here it is: i believe

to cook"
That is the creed of Eddie Cantor - and
Eddie ought to know. He has not been salts
stied with winning laurels as comedian on
the stage, in pictures, and on the radio; but
he has earned badge Of merit as the father
of five girls. So he is entitled to convictions
about what girls should know how to do.
In speaking Of cooking as hobby for men,
Eddie judges by his own experience. He en-
phasizes the mental benefits, though he
admits that knowledge of this very practical
science might often come in handy for man.
Cooking" says Eddie, can give you
great feeling of satisfaction. 1t is an enormous
relaxation. You concentrate on the dish you
are preparing and then you can't worry about
how you sang that difficult note or whether
you played your scene perfectly"
. In fact, according to Eddie, many men do
realize what fun and refreshment women have
been getting out of pots and pans and salad
bowls all these years. Il suspect" he says,
that some famous men nowadays would
