Hands OF, SAYS Japan

Japan doesn't like the British
~ plan for an international confer
ence to mediate the Chinese-Japa-
nese war, so Tokyo issued stern
warning to the rest of the world not
to interfere with her doings In
China.
Japanese government circles were
visibly perturbed by the turning OF
world sympathy to China, and with
out exception attribute this to sue
cessful Chinese propaganda.
The United States government re-
Gently told Japan it would be held
strictly accountable for injury to
Americans or their property in Chi
ma. Tokyo responded with a firm
refusal to accept such liability, and
our Department of State didn't know
Just what to do next.
Member nations of the League OF
Nations had a plan to raise large
fund to fight the cholera and bu-
bonic epidemics in China. But the
japanese told the British that this
would be interpreted by Tokyo as
foreign Intervention in the war, so
the British delegates backed down
and persuaded the league council
to content itself with resolution
recommending to the assembly an
increase in the allotment of money
for health work in China.
The League of Nations adopted
resolution severely condemning ia
pan for the aerial bombardment OF
defenseless Chinese cities, and
Tokyo, indignant, charged the league
of acting without verifying the facts.
To the protest Of five great powers,
previously filed, the Japanese gov
eminent replied with the assertion
that the bombing of Marking was
necessary for our purpose.
The British public is becoming in
creasingly aroused against japan
and there is a general demand for
a boycott of japanese goods.

Black Joined Khan: Quit
"T DID join the Ku Klux Klan. I

ST DID join the Ku Klux Klan. I
L later resigned. / never re-
joined"
Thus Hugo L. Black, now Asso-
ciate Justice Black of the Supreme
court, admitted to an immense radio
audience that the charges against
him were true.
Black asserted that since he quit
the Klan he has had nothing what
ever to do with it.
He cited his record in the senate
and in private life to back up his
assertion that he was entirely free
from religious or race prejudices.
While he apparently repudiated the
principles of the Klan, he did not
explain why, on receiving a life
pass card after his election to the
senate, he said to a gathering of
Klansmen:
81 realize that / was elected by
men who believe in the principles
that l have sought to advocate and
which are the principles of this or
ganization."
Black emphatically declared his
devotion to the principles of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
and said that he was of ''that group
of liberal senators who have consist
emily fought for the civil, economic
and religious rights of all Ameri-
cans, without regard to race or
creed" Some of his best friends,
he added, were Catholics and Jews,
and members of the colored race.
At the outset of his address Black
undertook to turn the tables on his
accusers by asserting that the
campaign" to discredit him "fans
the flames of prejudice and is cal
culated to create racial and re-
ligious prejudice"
"When this statement is ended"
he concluded, "my discussion of the
question is closed"
There was a definite note of de-
fiance in Blacks address, but it is
fair to assume that the American
public was not satisfied with his ex-
PLANTATION. From all parts of the
country came renewed protests
against his presence on the Supreme
court bench, and various large asso-
Citations "resoluted" about it. Many
of the senators who voted to con-
firm his appointment because they
accepted the assertion of his friends
that he was not a Kluxer are re-
sentful at the deception practiced
on them-but what can they do
about it now?
President Roosevelt, up to the
time of writing, had maintained 81
lence. One of his aides explained
that the President decided some
time ago that there was no course
of action open to him in the Black
case.
When Justice Black took his seat,
the chamber of the Supreme court
was crowded to capacity. Albert
Levitt, an attorney, was on hand to
ask permission to file suit seeking
to force Justice Black to show cause
why he should not be declared in
eligible to sit. The court deferred
action on the request. Another mo-
ton to the same effect was filed by
Patrick H. Kelly, Boston lawyer.

trainers of even more drastic ana
mandatory neutrality legislation
than exists, admit the application
of the law would help Japan but
insist the purpose Of Congress was
to prevent any President from be-
ing forced by necessity to choose
sides. On the other hand, the Pres
ident is reminded that traditional
American policy calls for an open
trade door in China, that the Nine
Power and Kellogg treaties to
which we are parties have been
violated.
He does not feel that, as the
National Council for Prevention of
War suggests, he is "houting the
will of the people" by failing to
invoke the neutrality act. From
the political angle he remembers
that important American interests,
including the cotton South, would
raise a great roar if he hampered
export of raw materials to the
Orient now.
FOURTEEN years ago Roosevelt
l. wrote an article for Asia
magazine which becomes of inter-
est again today. At that time he
had recently been assistant sec
rotary of the Navy and knew well
enough that both japanese and
American navieS made most OF
their secret war plans against each
other. ...,
Roosevelt's thesis was that there
was less reason to anticipate an
American-Japanese war than most
persons in both scountries then
supposed.
Especially, as good sign for
peace, did Roosevelt hail Japap's
adherence to recent :treatiea, her
withdrawal from Chinese terri
tory and her promises to respect
China's territorial integrity, That
was back in 1923. ~ -

WTASHINGTON.-No end Of peo-
" pie and organizations have
oeen telling the State Department
and the White House what they
ought to be doing in the current
Japanese warfare against China.
But figuring out what to do and
what not to do is no fun at all.
You can only say with certainty
that the American neutrality act
gives the President a tremendous
amount of discretion and that its
spirit is being violated by failure
Of Roosevelt TO invoke its provi-
Sions.
The President is pro-Chinese, if
one is to believe those who best
know his views. He hates to think
that Japan may conquer China,
Application Of the neutrality act,
he thinks, would handicap China
the victim and thus aid Japan the
aggressor.
If he didn't feel that japanese
victory would mean no good for
the United States, he might before
this have applied part of the neu-
trality act, failed to send addi-
tional marines to China and ne
elected to indicate this govern
ment's diSpleaSure.
At the same time there is no
valid reason for supposing that
Roosevelt is not as anxious or will
not eventually so as far as would
the neutrality acts promoters to
keep us out of war.
The thing that stands out is the
enormous amount of discretion
which he demanded and which
Congress gave him in this act. He
needn't embargo munitions or take
any other neutrality" steps un-
less he finds state of war exists
and nations these days always
seem to fight wars without declar-
ing them.

know what day he would find
himself trying a case before a
bOoze-guzzling judge he had re-
probated. And there you see the
greatest obstacle to political and
governmental imprOvcmcnt-mOSt
persons are afraid to move lest
TO do so might cost them some
thing.
But we should try not to make
life too personal. OF course there
are the glorious examples and the
horrible examples. But by and
large we should learn to separate
the man from his deed and look
at the principle involved. It isn't
that Johnny Jones did this or that
or didn't do this or that; the big
thing is that this or that should
,or should not be done - by
Johnny Jones and everybody
else.
Political rings love to deal in
names. When they inveigle some
poor devil into being their dupe
and doing something reprchensi-
Bile by which they profit, they
love to hold him up to be shot
at and thus draw the fire away
from their organization. They
DO not want the public to think
about principles (that would be
bad for the ring) but about per-

persons" say the politicians of
the people; "then they won't

that makes the man or the
group of men do as they do. We

cipleS.
