displayed a united front for
the first time in the current
campaign to oust all foreigners
from Baja California business and
agricultural activity.
Governor Sanchez Taboada, re-
putedly acting with the approval
of Mexico City, gave his blessing
to the custer drive only few min
utes after the CTN labor organiza-
ton threw full support behind the
GROIN labor groups manifesto
warning foreigners to quit business
in Baja California within 60 days.
CTN and GROIN groups are nor
mally at swords points.
CTN'S support was given to the
GROIN movement in a bitter ad-
dress at Ensenada by Lombardo
Toledano, Mexico City representa-
tive of the group. Toledano, some
times accused by GROIN leaders of
being a Communist, heatedly at
tackled the "imperialiStic United
States" He ended with plea for
confiscation of all property con-
tolled by foreigners in the terri
tory of Baja California.
Governor Taboada, in a public
address a few minutes later, pledg-
ed territorial support for the expul-
sion movement. 1t was the first
official pronouncement on the sub
ject, although informed sources
said the GROIN manifesto had tire
approval Of the governor and of
President Cardenas at Mexico City
before it was made public.

private and formal army declara-

1t was evident that the Chinese
spurred by United States AMI

all they had into a grand scale
attack.
The japanese army declaration
had been promised ever since the
japanese male their first landing

There has been no declaration of
hostilities in this war and nominally

that the time was not ripe for it.
But it was issued. In it, Gen

JAPANESE DISCUSS
REPLY TO ROOSEVELT

TOKYO, Oct. 8. U.P) - Foreign
Minister Koki Hirota addressed a
cabinet council today on the crisis
precipitated by the United States
and League of Nations con1emna-
ton of Japan's course in China.
Just before the meeting, a foreign
office spokesman disclosed that
Hirota was drafting a statement on
the situation in the name of the
government, and it was believed
that, declining to take personal re-
sronsibility for it, he had sub
mitted the statement to the gov
ernment as whole.
Indications increased that the re-
suit of the international criticism
of Japan might be, sooner or later,
a formal denunciation of the nine
power treaty concerning China's
status and a flat challenge to the
world to stop Japan if it could.
