HULL APPEALS FOR PEACE

HULL APPEALS FOR PEACE
 Washington, Aug. 24.-tUp)-sec- retary of State Cordell Hull directed final appeal for peace to Japan and China today. lie asked them to abide by their treaty pledges and to refrain from Q general war.
 Hull voiced his appeal in c state- inent isued to the press which cited the interests of the American gov- ernment in the Far Eastern situa- ton, and its desire to keep alive in all parts of the world the funda- mental principles of It's interna- tional relationships. These were ex- pressed in Hull's re-statement Of American foreign policy on July i6.
 He called the attention of both the Chinese and Japanese govern- ments to the fact that more than 50 governments of the world have since formally and publicly approv- cd the principles of this policy as being Fundamental in international relationships. The cornerstone of the policy enunoiated by Hull was Ilon- aggression and ilon.interfer- ence by any nation in the affairs Of other nations.
 Both Approved Policy
 Among the governments which voiced their approval of this policy were both Japan and China, al- though the Japanese government, in It's statement of general ape provai, attempted to set up reser- vation iriso fer as the Far East Is concerned. Japan set up the cone tention that there were special prcb- lens there to be considered.
 Hull knocked down this attempt with the statement that We con- slider applicable throughout the world, in the Pacific area as else- where, the principles set forth in the statement of July i6 That statement of principles is couapre- hensive and basic. It embraces the principles embodied in many trea- ties, including the Washington cone ference treaties and the Kellogg Briand pact Of Paris" outlawing war as an instrument of national policy.

 Bitter Condemnation
 Spain's note was one of the most bitter condemnations of any nation ever deiivreed to the league. It was not considered likely that a special session would be held to consider the charges inasmuch as the league Is to meet in regular session next month. It was believed likely, how ever. that ,t might lessen Italy's chances of gaining recognition or her Ethiopian conquest.
 The latest ship attacked was the 2.50O-ton merchantmen NoemiJulia out of London, which reported that it had been target for two planes marked by white crosses in the middle of black circles" oil the cat alan coast of Spain. Loyalist au- tnorities in Barcelona identified the planes as Italian.

 Again at dawn, Japanese warships anchored in the Whangpoo began bombarding the Chinese in Pootung across the river from the interna- tional settlement. People in the set- clement were awakened by the rocking of buildings from the fire, and new fires bgean blazing in pootung.
 After bombing Pootung the Japa- nese warships turned their guns to the other side of the river and be- gan shelling Chinese artillery in the north railroad station area and the Kiangwan suburb north of the Lunghua airdrome southwest of the city. Japanese planes bombed the Dity and then Pootung section. Vigorous Chinese anti-aircraft fire showed that new guns had been mounted.
 Japanese warships in the Whang- poo river opened . furious anti- aircraft bombardment on the planes. At least two bornbs were dropped into Hongkew. Damages and cas- ualties were not immediately de- tertnined.

 As the eastern contingent pre- pared to move in on Santander along the BiScay coast, the southern columns bombarded Torrelavega, II miles southwest off Santander, and several villages behind the govern ment lines. Torrelavega was dam aged badly. Many houses were de- stroyed, but the number of casual ties has not yet been determined.
 The Nationalist eastern column had little diflculty advancing, but Santander reported that the south- ern forces were meeting increasing difflculties.

 The push on Laredo was carried out without halting at Castro Ur- diales, town with a population of 13,000 in the center of a rich min ing district.
 Madrid Bitter at Italy

"The cruelty which the Italians are show ing on the Santander front sur passes what they demonstrated al Eu2kadi tBelbao,)" spokesman said. Reports reached Madrid that the rebels staged a mass air attack behind the Loyalist lines and wrought heavy casualties among the civilian population.
 The government expected that Santander, would fall, but not with out bitter fight. "Torrelavega will Torrelaega, Il miles southwest oi 90 down in history as another Guernica," the spokesman said.

 Roosevelt Still Leader
 Rayburn, in a speech over the National Broadcasting company red network last night, predicted that the main points in the administra- tion's legislative program would ee enacted at the next session. He de- nied that MT. Roosevelt had lost his leadership over congress. Ray burn said the following measures would be approved at the next ses- sion: Government reorganization, general farm legislation. wage and hours bill and general revision ot the tax laws. Some congressional leaders feel that a special session. coming so soon after disposition Of the party-splitting supreme court reorganization issue-might be un- wise and jeopardize the future Of pending "key" measures
 Some Favor It
 Rep. John E. Miller, d.. Ark, can- vassed the entire situation with the President and said that he person ally" felt that there should be a special session despite "incon- veniences".
 Secretary of Agriculture Henry A Wallace joined the proponents of a fall session with an assertion that he thought that 1t would assure qutck passage of ever normal gran ary and farm surplus control legis- lation. Wallace said he favored making nine-cent cotton loans to stabilize the market despite urging from southern senators for ten cent loan.
 Commodity Prices
 Congressional leaders admitted that a special session depended largely on major commodity prices during the next few weeks since President Roosevelt has set a farm surplus control program as neces- sity if he makes prtce-pegging, tenn porary loans.
 Meanwhile, Chairman Ellison D. Smith, d., s. C., Of the senate agri- culture committee. prepared to dis patch two sub-committees through the south and west to get views from dirt farmers" on which the new farm program should contain.

hai, he said at his first press cone ference that the Chinese were fight ing bravely and admitted that the Japanese had suffered losses, partic- ularly from land mines, in effecting landings.
 Gen. Matsui's appointment was a surprise. He is almost as well known in China as in Japan, due to long association with Sun Yat Sen when that revered Chinese pa. triot was carrying out his early rev. olutionary activities - activities which impelled him often to fly to Japan for safety,
 At one time Sun Yat.Sen and Matsui cooperated in promoting c Pan Asia" movement-which Sun abandoned as the result of Chinese Japanese conflicts. Matsui contin- ued to preach the movement with great enthusiasm throughout China
 Warned About Matsui
 Chinese patriots for many years warned the Chinese people that Masui was using Suns doctrines and associations to advance Japan's cause in China. Nevertheless Matsui was always cordially received in every section of the country, as he unquestionably enjoyed Suns per- sonal friendship.
 In some quarters Matsui enjoys Q reputation as Q conniver and rnys- tery man almost rivaling that of Gen. Kenji Doihara, the great jap- anese Lawrence of Manchuria."
 During the summer of 1886 he was credited with egging on leaders of Kwangsi province In the southwest to attempt their revolt against Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai.Shek. Ale though nominally the Kwangsi forces were anti-Japanese, 1t turned out later that they had quantities of Japanese and ammunition. Experts said Matsui arranged for them.
