japanese 'Puppet'
To Rule Shanghai
To Control Customs
While War Lasts
BY JAMES r. YOUNG
copyright, 1887, by International
News Service.)

TOKYO, Nov. pa pro-Jap-
anese "puppet" administration
may be set up in Shanghai similar
to those in TientSin and Peiping,
Foreign Minister Koki Hirota to-
day was understood to have ad-
vised American Ambassador JOS
eph c. Grew.
At the same time, Japan pub
licly assured powers of the west
that Shanghais customs were be-
ing taken over solely for the dura-
ton of the war to prevent use OF
the revenues for Chinese military
purposes.
VIEWS EXCHANGED
Canvassing the entire shanghai
situation, Grew and Hirota mad
an hours talk yesterday. At the
same time, it was understood to-
day, American, British, French
and Japanese authorities lex
changed views" on establishment
of a provisional administration to
operate the customs.
Hirota limited to Grew, however,
that the customs control probably
would remain indefinitely in the
bands of the military.
International complications con-
tinued to pile up, meanwhile with
bitter press attacks on Great
Britain.
Charges blazoned forth today
that Britain is making large
shipments of munitions to China
through Hongkong. Asahi Shin
bun linked Britain with the com
munist International, and called
London "Japan'S enemy in dis
guise."
FREIGHTER IN TROUBLE
The Danish freighter Marchen
Maersk encountered trouble with
police" it was officially announced
upon its arrival at Kobe yesterday
from New York.
Bound for Hongkong, the ship
was loaded with airplane parts
consigned to China, it was alleged
The parts presumably were OF
American manufacture.
Opinion is now growing in ia
pan that war must be declared on
China so that the coast can be
effectively blockaded.
The newspaper Nichi Nichi re
ported today that DR.. wellington
Koo, Chinese Ambassador tC
France, had been negotiating 9
$500, 000, 900 loan from the United
States, Britain, France, Belgium
and Russia.

.Gzi Demand

London

LONDON, Nov. 20 G.N.SO Ell
bowling their way through large
crowd, whose presence in Downing
Street attested the nations anx-
iety, British and French statesmen
this morning opened one Of the
most momentous conferences since
the World War.
To consider Germany's demands
for colonies and a free hand" in
Central Europe, and to weigh the
growing seriousness of the Far
East, ministers of France and Eng
land assembled with grave coun-
tenanceS.
Leading figures at the session
were Prime Minister Camille Chau-
temps, Foreign Minister won Del
hos, and Ambassador Charles Cor
bin of France, and Premier Neville
Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden, and Sir Robert
Van Sittart, Permanent Foreign
UnderSecre Oary, of Britain.
Britain, it was understood, is
seeking to induce the French to
agree to measure of autonomy
for the German minority in
Czechoslovakia and closer econ
omic and cultural relations be-
tween Germany and Austria.
In return for such French con-
ceSSion, Hitler would be expected
to make definite commitments
regarding Western European Sc
curity, the major points of which
would be disarmament and agree
ment to alter frontiers by war.
Britain is willing to return
minor West African colonies to
the Reich, and economic advan-
tageS in a new international
sphere" to be created in Africa.

they attempt q charitable enter

Recently the RA staff sponsored

And on the night of the dance the
lobby Of the Raleigh Hotel was
literally swamped with Resettle-

feminine clerks, all anxious to
make the charity event complete
success.
The sudden and unexpected in
flux of attractive femininity after
the dinner hour quite naturally
created a stir among the visiting
business men at the hostelry, who
had settled themselves down for
an evening of discussing current
events plus cigar or two.

his own department stores. Yes,
in a metropolis of this size we
should have even a Negro hos
pital. We should have a bank
operated entirely by Negroes.
At present the Negro, of course,
has not reached this level. How
ever, | do believe he is fast APP
preaching that state. When he
does, he will be readily looked
upon as a potent economic fac
tor, and eventually given polit-
zeal equality in practice. Our
educational opportunities must
be greatly increased to bring
about this type of Negro. The
Negro child should have school
ing as well fitted to his needs
as that of the white child. Only
then and then alone will we be
able to free ourselves from the
economic and political shackles
that have kept US in restraint
these many years and that have
retarded our progress.
In conclusion let me say that
the Negro has the quality and
material to do these things. He
only needs intelligent leaders
and above all, united and con-
certed action to bring about
this economic self-suffisiency,
which will result in his polite
al equality.-Woodrow F. Nor
