abroad by the declaration of

that there is mo danger Of war
between Japan and the United

The United States Government,
in advance of an invitation from
the League members Of the nine

war guilt rests with the signatories
to the nine-power treaty who are
members of the League of Nations.

NEWSPAPERS ARE MILD"
Meanwhile, the newspapers took
a mild attitude toward Washing
ton. The tone of many editorials
was that of sorrow rather than
anger.
It was believed the newspapers
were directed to "go easy" on the
United States to avoid undue
stimulation" of Japan's already
aroused public. But officials made
no secret of their displeasure at
Americas sudden apparent switch
from her isolationist policy.
Newspaper reports forecast that
a japanese denunciation of the
nine-power treaty-concluded in
washington in 1922 to guarantee
the integrity Of China-was immi-
nent. The newspaper Yomiuri al
ready has asserted this treaty is
dead.
All newspapers sought to give
the impression that American
diplomacy again had fallen into a
trap Of intrigue set by Britain in
the hope Washington could be
persuaded to pull London's chest
nuts out Of the Chinese fires while
the British government looks on
and does nothing.

APAN EMBASSY
HERE TO FACE
PEACE PICKETS
Demonstration to Start
At $50 P. M. TODAY

The American League Against
War and Fascism continued its
plans for a mass picketing Of
the Japanese Embassw at $50
p. M, today as the first step in
a movement to boycott japanese
goods in the Capital" despite the
assurances given by the State De-
partmnt to Japanese officials that
steps would be taken to prevent
the gathering.
Yakichiro Suma, counselor of
the Japanese Embassy, said the
State Departments assurances
came q few hours after the anti
fascist league announced it would
sponsor the picketing.
FAsCISTS SCORED
Issuing a declaration last night,
the league said:
"The A erican League
Against War and Fascism notes
with approval the address of
the President, in which the eff
fectiveness Of the American
policy Of complete isolation and
neutrality is questioned.
'The American League has
for a long time urged the State
Department to take q deter
mined attitude against the Fas-
ctSt powers, who are intent on
jeopardizing the peace, freedom
and security of 80 per cent of
the peoples of the world"
POLICE TO STAND BY
Meanwhile, local police officials
said the same procedure would be
followed by them as occurred at
last summers picketing of the en-
bassy. At that time a guard was
placed near the embassy gates to
queu any disturbances. Two men
were disciplined when, according
to police, they exceeded the bounds
Of peaceful picketing."

BRITISH TRAP" CHARGED
While Tokyo newspapers de-
clared America had fallen into a
British trap" statements were
made to the effect that no amount
of criticism could force Japan to
alter her fixed policy" regarding
China, and that the Tokyo govern
ment would have nothing to do
with the proposed nine-power con-
ference on the Far Eastern war.
Officials made it plain that any
decisions reached by such a con-
ference, in which the United
States has agreed to participate,
would be ignored by Japan, which
has the moral support of Germany
and Italy in her campaign against
China. .
While recruiting of additional
men was continued at full force,

BRITISH PONDER
DRASTIC ACTION
IN SPAIN'S CRISIS
Showdown Is Reported
Near With Il DuCe
By KINGsBURY SMITH

BY hINGSbUhI SM1Ih
LONDON, Oct. 8 0N.SO.-Great
Britain has been won over to the
French demand for drastic action
en- Italian intervention in Spain
and is on the point of forcing an
immediate showdown with Pre-
nlier Mussolini, even at the risk of
a Mediterranean conflict, accord
ing to reports in diplomatic circles
today.
Word that the portion of Spain
controlled by GeneralisSimo Fran
cisco Francois insurgents was be-
coming passionately anti-British,
and that England was bound to
lose her onomic interests
throughout Spain if the national
lists won. prompted the change in
Rritain's attitude.
BOLD STROKE" RUMORED
1t was influenced also by wide
spread rumors Mussolini had de.
cided to resort to some bold
stroke" to assure Franco a quick
victory.
editors Note.-In this connec-
ton, reports $4,000 additional
troops from Mussolini's army had
been landed at Cadiz within the
past few days were denied Off
cially in Rome)
1t was difficult to ascertain
whether the reports of Britain's
new stand were part OF the high
pressure campaign launched by
London newspapers today in an
effort to compel Mussolini to with
draw his volunteers" from Spain.
QUICK ACTION IMPENDs
There was no question, how
ever, that they were widespread.
Throughout whitehall's grape
vine there was a persistent belief
that Britain and France would
soon announce some quick and
serious action" If Ita1y's reply to
the invitation to participate in
tri-partite conference on the vol
unteer issue should be unsatisfac-
tory.
Observers recently returned
from nationalist Spain confirm
the bitter anti-British feeling ex-
istirg, especially at Salamanca,
where italian and German troops
talk Of, the imminence of war
Gin which England must be de-
feated."
PRESS OPENS DRIVE
Coincident with a growing move
to confineS the projected nine
power conference in japanese ag-
erosion to diplomatic consulta-
lions, the British press burst forth
in a stern and obviously inspired
warning to Premier Mussolini to
halt Italy's intervention in Spain.
All newspapers collaborated
in a flat declaration that Britain
would tolerate no further delays
or additional violations Of non
intervention

CONTEMPT EVIDENT

In this sense the proclamation
was timed to produce the same i'm.
preston of contempt felt by the
japanese military for western
powers as did their action in bomb
ing Markings hospitals and
homes, Slaughtering hundreds OF
civilians, Immediately upon re-
ceipt Of Washington's and Lon
don's protests that such bombings
should not be carried out.
Matsui's proclamation revealed
he considered the strength OF
Japan's forces here sufficient to
wipe out the Marking regime. His
statement was interpreted on all
sides as heralding q grand Of
feusive in which the japanese will
employ all their resources.
The proclamation stated that
"the Japanese army is now pre-
pared to use every means in its
power to subdue its opponents"
Asked whether this expression
meant poison gas would be used
against the Chinese, Japanese
spokesman said 1t did not. He de-
clared it meant that the japanese
army, for the first time, was in a
position to strike its hardest.
Asked whether the words. "the
objective of the japanese army is
to scourge the Chinese government
and army" together with the
whole tone of the proclamation,
did not amount to a declaration
OF war, the spokesman smiled a
denial.
ITO USE EVERY MEANS"
MatSui's lam ation was
worded as follows:
1.-THE Japanese army is now
prepared to use every means in
its power to subdue its oppo-
nents. The objectives Of the
Japanese expeditionary forces
are not only to protect Japan's
vested interests and the lives
and property of Japanese resi-
dents, but also to scourge the
Chinese government and army,
which have been pursuing anti
foreign and anti-Japanese pol
1cies in collaboration with COM
munist influences.
Briefly the mission Of the
Japanese army is to establish
the foundations of a firm and
lasting peace in eastern ASIA"
