ical neutrality-ites; not elastic enough
for others. 1t might do for awhile if
little belligerency were astir in the
world, but not at the present juno
ficially raging. The thing manifestly
has got to be amended and no time
wasted, either.
But how amend it?-in such a fash
ion as to make it hold water?
Not Visioned.r
Senator Gerald P. Nye, of North
Dakota, the original neutrality crus-
sader, proceeded on the assumption
that a war is conflict between two
or more different countries and shop
ed his program on that supposition.
Directly after that civil war broke
out in Spain-not war between a
plurality of countries. 10
Here was rumpus that the Nye
plan did not cover. Is
True, Italians, Germans and Rus
slams undoubtedly are participants in
the Spanish struggle, but only az
formally involved in it. For that mat
ter, there are Americans in the Span
ish ranks, and certainly Uncle Sam
cannot be called a belligerent.
Thus it is difficult to call that an
international fight; not yet, anyway
"ImpartiaE' OPINION.
Neutrality in these international
disputes is nearly impossible.
For instance, Yankee public opinion
is impartial relative to the Orient
as against Japan. 1t is Euroreanly
impartial-as against Italy and Ger
many and the Spanish rebels.
That is our kind of neutrality.
We do not know much about Latin
America.
thus opinion is neutral as to it
but elsewhere!

Plan To Observe
Art Week In City
Artists, Stores Asked to
Cooperate For This

Calling attention to the ap-
proach of National Art Week,
which will be observed in the
country beginning Monday, Nov.
I, Mrs. Walter Groce, art chair
man pro-temporc for the Woman's
club today issued statement III
which she invited cooperation Of
local artists and the merchants OF
the city toward this end.
Mrs. Groce said:
November II will be observed
as National Art Week. This an
nual event was sponsored first by
the American Artists Profession
al League as means to arouse
interest in contemporary Amcri-
can art, and to give local artists
a chance to bring their work be-
fore the eyes of their fcllow-citi-
zen.
ave hope the merchants along
Main street will cooperate with
the Woman's club as they have
heretofore, by permitting the To-
cal artists of the city and county
to display a few pieces Of their
aircraft in the show windows. We
also hope that the artists will ap-
preciate this opportunity and place
one or two of their best pieces in
the window they select. 0.ni
"In many instances this move
ment has brought about a friend
ly relationship between artist and
merchant"

PARIS, Oct. 90. (UP)-Thc
Brussels conference on the Far
Eastern crisis may go beyond the
immediate problem of hating hos
tilitics and seek an altogether new
basis for maintaining peace in
the Orient, il was revealed last
night when the United States del
cgation arrived in Paris.
The leading powers among adj
hcrents TO the nine-pOwcr Wash

ed States, were said to be study
ing proposition whereby the
confcrcncc-Opcning next We'd
ncSday - would provide Il re-
placement foundation for the Sc
RIGS Of treaties signed in Wash
ington in 1922.
These treaties, including the
ninc-powcr pact designed to m
sure Chma's territorial integrity
and the fvc-powcr naval treaty,
maintained peace in the Orient
for 10 years but were badly un..
dcrmincd by Japan's conquest OF
Manchuria.
As result, several of the con-
ference powers were said to be
strongly Of the opinion that any
mediation, even though it halted
the present conflict, would not be
sufficient and an entirely new
framework of agreements is need
cd to establish international re-
la,ions in the Far East.
Norman II. Davis, American
"ambassador at large" and chief
of the U. S. delegation, conferred
lengthily with Ambassador Will
liam c. Bullitt after arriving from

Their discussions were believed
TO have centered around the Jap
ancsc governments decision to
boycott the Brussels conference
and defy the world to stop 1t
from pursuing its war in CHINA
to an absolute victory. .
When the u. S. liner Washing
ton touched at Plymouth, Eng

hoped Japan will collabora:e in

ton to a difficult problem but
a few hours later those hopes
were smashed by Tokyo's an

DISCOUNT Ed.
Ambassador Saito Lays
Strife to Agitators Com
munists, Politicians
By HARRY WILSON SHARPE
limited Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. CUP
Anti-Japanese agitators, commun-
lists and China politicians spelling
for fight" forced Japan into the
present conflict in China and the
island empire wants to end it
quickly and so decisively that a
like situation can never occur,
Japanese Ambassador Hiroti Saito
said last night in a nationwide
broadcast.
Saito spoke only a few hours
after his government rejected Bel
GUMS invitation to attend con-
sulate conference of the nine-pow-
er treaty signatories at Brussels
Nov. 3, to seek mediation of the
far-eastern crisis. The refusal,
foreign relations experts here be-
lieve, dooms the parley, primarily
because of Japan's unwillingness
to admit outsiders into her rela-
tons with China and secondly be-
cause of recent victories In the
theatres of war.
Saito made no direct reference
to the United States or the state
department which had no COM
mcnt on the Toxic governments
refusal to attend the Brussels par
lev. The refusal was disappoint-
ing. officials indicated, but it had
been anticipated and thus dis
counted in advance.
Sato traced Sino-Japanese rela-
tons from the time Of the Boxer
rebellion up to 1885 when, he
said, a movement in China called
the "anti-Japancsc popular front"
began to assume alarming proper
tons.
Fuel was added to the fire, he
said. by murders of Japanese, by
the kidnapping of Chinese Gencr-
alissimo Chang Kai-shek "who
pledged himself to abandon his
anti-communist campaign and ally
his central government with the
popular front against JAPAN" and
finally by Chinese politicians.
"Their first point was that ia
pans internal politics were in dis
order" the ambassador said. "Sec-
ondly, they noticed that Japan was
following a conciliatory policy to-
ward China. This conciliatory at
titude must have led the Chinese
extremists to make the same mis-
take that Chinese have repeatedly
made in their dealings with for
eign nations-to regard an offer
Of friendship as a sign Of weak
ness.
Third, the wistful thinking of
the popular front leaders made
them believe that if they provoked
war with Japan, they could count
on effective assistance from wes-
tern countries. In the fourth place

Tramp dogs cannes which
have no homes or masters and
live off the community, are a con-
slant source of worry to city po-
lice officers, Chief Otis Powers
said today.
More than half the dogs in the
community belong to this class,
Chief Powers pointed out. In fact,
when tax records arc consulted,
it would appear that only about
a dozen HenderSonville people
admit ownership Of dogs.
The police department is con-
stantly receiving complaints from
people whose rest is disturbed by
night proving dogs, and whose
garbage cans constitute the
bread line for the cramps"
The situation is such that the
police are forced to take some
action, Chief Powers reported,

CAMPAIGN FOR DESTRUCTION
OF TRAMP DOGS PLANNED
Will Try to Find Homes for Pups; Police Compelled
Against Wishes to Act on Local Nuisance

ciate the cooperation Of citizens.
What the police department
proposes to do is to round up all
stray dogs on the streets. Accord
ing to law, these dogs must be
advertised before they can be de-
stroycd. It's not a pleasant occu-
patton to destroy dogs, but Chief
Powers feels that this action must
be taken. When stray dogs arc
rounded up, the department Will
make an effort to find homes for
the pups.
All people who have dogs are
required to have them registered
and licensed. If this license is
worn on dog collars the pups may
be returned to their owners when
captured. Thus it behooves all
people having canine pets to
which they are attached to. put a
collar and license plate on the
dogs.
