Apprehension increased for the
hitherto seldom endangered French
concession following the announce

that Japanese are considering pos

Nantao."
Nantao, densely populated native
city similar to Chapel, is south and
east of the French area. It has been
almost untouched by the fighting thus
far.
Any military action against Nantao
might endanger the large number of
foreigners, including many Americans,
who live in the French concession, but
the spokesman promised "due precau-

that district.

TOXIC SAYS CHINA
MUST ASK PEACE
Direct Proposal Invited as
Spokesman Warns of
Brussels Outcome.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Oct. pa japanese for
eign Office spokesman said today that
Japan would not hesitate to enter
negotiations to end Chinese-Japanese
hostilities If China should propose
such talks directly to Japan.
Commenting on the suggestion yes
terday by high japanese source in
Paris that interested powers, particu-
larly the United States, start con-
versations looking toward an armis-
tice, the spokesman said:
"Japan's reception of any media
tion plan must be conditioned by the
attitude of the powers at the Brussels
conference. (The conference, of nine
power treaty signatories is to be held
November 8. Japan has refused an
invitation to attend)
Since the conference was called,
and Japan was condemned in ad-
vance, it is not likely that those who
condemned her would be suitable me-
diators. The main thing is to persuade
the Chinese to change their attitude
and abandon their anti-Japanese
policies
IF China directly would propose
peace negotiations, Japan would not
hesitate to enter them. China, how
lever, has not yet made a direct ap-
proach to Japan"
War Minister General Gen. Sugi-
yama and Naval Minister Admiral
Mitsumasa Yonai declined to comment
on the suggestion of the japanese
source at Paris.
A high officer said, however:
"Japan's policy is fixed. We still are
determined to fight to a finish. This
does not mean fighting indefinitely.
but overtures must come from China"
The comment of reliable naval
source was China alone would be
able to end the fighting"

CHANGE IN MOBILIZATION
DATES OF ARMY URGED
Present Plan Does Not Permit
Quick Massing of Auxiliary

Units, Gen. Schley Holds.
Need for advance of mobilization
dates of Army divisions supporting
combat units in case of war was point
ed out last night in speech prepared
>by Maj. Gen. Julian L. Schley, Chief
of Army Engineers, and read before
the Engineer Chapter of the District
of Columbia Reserve officers Associa-
ton.
Gen. Schley pointed out that, al
though complete plans existed for mo-
bilization of an army of 100000 in
eight months, tentative mobilization
dates would not permit quick enough
massing of auxiliary units, such as the
Engineer Corps.
Gen. Schley, although present, was
prevented from delivering his speech
by a sore throat. Col. Warren T..
Hanum, Army Engineer Corps, read

Methods of Feeding

Feed the poorest hay early in the
fall. 1t does not improve with stor-
age and the animals are in good
shape, carrying food reserves over
from the pasture season. Also the
poor hay may be blended with the
greener, brighter hays.
Off-grade hay is consumed more
readily if chopped, since fresh sur
faces are exposed and the palat-
ability is improved. The weathered
hay may be rendered quite palat-
able by moistenhlg it with cane or
beet molasses water. Ordinarily the
molasses is diluted 21a to 3 times
with. water.
VitaInin A protects animals from
infections of the lungs and digest
i've tract. Poor hay is low in this
factor. Animals subsisting entirely
on such hay should have their ia
lions improved. An occasional feed
ing of good green hay, or silage,
or the yellow leshed root crops or
pumpkins and squashes will help
correct this deficiency.

Damp Hay Storage
Continued from page u
Build Small Stacks

Large hay stacks offer more OPP
portunity for spontaneous combus-
ton than smaller ones. because of
a wider range of moisture and
pressure. This is especially true of
chopped hay. Heavier hays such as
alfalfas and the clovers are more
likely to heat than the hollow
stemmed grain hays.
Sailing
BY sailing the hay there is a
slowing down of the generation of
heat. However, the hay should be
dry. Too much reliance must not
be placed on the salt. The salt
keeps down the growth of nolds
which cause nausty hay, and it also
adds to the palatability Feeding
experiments show that Is pounds
of the finely ground hay salt is
sufficient per ton of hay. Some use
even 20 pounds per ton of hay. The
salt must be evenly distributed.
More salt than this is not advis-
able. A steer eating 80 pounds of
hay daily, which has been salted
at the rate of Is pounds per ton,
is consuming $40 ounces of salt
which is we'll above it's actual daily
requirement If one were to salt
very wet hay sufficiently to insure
it's keeping safely, it would be unfit
for feed. Salt your hay, but be sure
it is thoroughly dry.
Precautions
In case of doubt as to the safety
in storing rain damaged, nausty
hay, it is a wise precaution to stack
the hay for a period of to z weeks
out of doors, thus permitting it to
go through a sweat" Such hay is
then safe for clopping into the
barn. Such a plan means extra
labor, but in the long run it is much
worth while The loss of a barn
by fire is a tragedy. The effect of
this may have a depressing effect
for many years.

COMPROMISE?

Nhe administrations compromise court bill
seems to contain little merit beyond being a lesser
evil than the original court-packng proposal,
which is to say that it has none at all.
We do not hold with those who declare the
supreme court to be sacred invioable simply
because it has been in existence for over a hum
dred and fifty years, but we do not see that the
present proposal to alter the court is worthy of
serious consideration.
There has long been need for alteration in our
judicial system. Surely, it is not right, nor just
that law passed by the representatives OF the
people, and perhaps declared constitutional by all
of the inferior federal COURTS should be thrown
out by the vote of one man, as can happen under
the present system.
AT present. there is agency empowered to
advise congress the possible constitutionallty
of laws prior to their passage. Only after law has
been in effect, and some citizen charges that 1t
abridges his constitutional rights, can it be taken
up before the courts
In such AN event, it is possible for each of the
inferior courts, through which it must pass to
uphold it's legality, with the nine justices of the
supreme court dividing by a count of 5 to 4.
Thus, one man, and one MAN alone, is given C1c-
tatoria powers.
But if this is wrong, surely it will not be cor
rected by simply increasing the size OF the court
The same objections will still hold true, and the
only advantages to have been gained will be the
immediate sanction of laws which might other
wise be declared unconstitutional.
If our courts need changing the change must be
one which will be of lasting benefit, which will
correct AN evil now existing so that future gen
eratons may obtain better government.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1937-07-08
WHAT rs CONsTITUTIONALITY?

One of the problems nnso]ved by our present
judicial system is, What determines the constitu-
tionaty of law in the process of passage and
what the duties OF congress and the executive
regarding laws which precedent says may be
bit on the unconstitutional side?
1t is touchy problem, and one which leads to
trouble matter What attitude is taken
There is precedent, for example, which de-
declares that the president must urge and con-
gress seek, the passage of q law designed for the
public good even though it's constitutonality is
questioned.
President Roosevelt adopted this attitude to-
ward the (Suffey coal bill and was rOundly crit
iczed for disregardlmg the constitution.
AT the other extreme WAS President Taft, who
vetoed bill because he said, it would be found
demonstrations if allowed to become law
That particular bill was then passed over his
veto by congress and it's constitutionality up
held by the supreme court
No group Of trained legal minds has yet been
able to agree on the consttutionaitv of any mea-
sure. AS our laws become more numerous and
more complex, the problem becomes even more
difficult. Surely, if our country is to be governed
by laws which are for the public good, we need
to have orr constitution clarified.
