that Mayor Hayes exploded the
merit Of the dick" de luxe's dis

pocket. IL was to the mayors per-
sonal advantage, to see that the

there Is another reason which

in China and abroad feared it was
Japan'S intention to restore Pu-
vi, now the Emperor Kang Teh of
Manchukuo, to the dragon throne
of the Manchu rulers of China at
Peiping.
His demeanor was instantly
grave. He shook his head.
II say solemnly that the Jap
anese government would never
think of that" he said. 1--WE
would never think of damaging
foreign interests in China, nor of
establishing any regime in North
China having such status as
'Manchukuo the Second
Japan absolutely has no terri
torial ambitions in China
| had heard that statement
from Vice Admiral Matsumasa
Yonai, the minister of the navy,
and from General Gen Sugiyama,
minister of war.
Today ! heard it from a Japan
ese statesman who recognizes
mutual grievances" in the Chi
ncse situation.
Prince Konoye said that he had
given the "most thoughtful con-
Sideration" to the United States
state departments references to
the Kelogg-Briand and nine-pow-
er treaties.
Japan does not think she is
breaking the Kellogg treaty, or
the nine-pOwcr treaty" he said.
"Japan is resorting to force only
for the purpose of making China
abandon mistaken policy.
81 deeply regret there is so
much misunderstanding abroad.
Apparently there is a fear that
foreign rights and interests in
China are endangered. That is the
last thing in the mind of the Jap
aneSe government
Then | asked:
"Will Japan participate in a
conference of the nine-power sig
natorics, if that is one of the re-
suits of the Washington dcclara-
tion?"
Prince Konoyc replied:
"Japan's policy on that point
has not been decided. | must point
out that no invitations have as yet
been issued for any conference. y
asked him if Japan would ac-
cept any effort by one or more
powers to bring Japan and China
together in peace. The prince re-
Piled: ,,.,
in principle, it is the establish
ed policy of the japanese govern
ment that the problems causing
hostilities concern only Japan and
China. Accordingly, a settlement
can be reached only between ia

Blow To Peace
For u. S. Labor

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct.
11.-UP)-John L. Lewis, con-
demning the suspension of the 10
CIO unions from the American
Federation Of Labor as Coward
ly" and "contcmptible," disclosed
plans last night for setting up u
permanent dual organization
which blasted all hopes of an i'm
mediate peace in the current
trade union war.
Lewis here for the CLOS first
"war council" told newspapermen
that since the CIO unions have
been suspended by the A F of l.,
they already consider themselves
"out of the federation" and that
their attitude towards reports
that the federation convention IN
Denver will vote to eXpel them is
one of complete indifference"
"The suspension of the ClO
unions was cowardly and con-
temptible act characteristic OF
President William Green of the
federation and some of his asso-
ciates," Lewis said, adding:
eve do not consider ourselves
to be part or parcel of the fed
Grafton and we will give consid-
Grafton at our meeting here to
protect CIO members and to fur
ther establish the CIO as the prin-
cipal labor movement in Amer
ica."

LONGEVITY AND PEACE

Don't the disciples of the Vari-
Gus schools of health get about
the same results in the matter of
longevity? Do the followers of
any one school live longer than
the follower sof any other school
of health? One group will not eat
meat or drink tea or coffee; an
other does eat meat and does
drink tea and coffee. One group
will not take medicine; another
group will take any kind Of med
icinc. One group will pin its faith
to massage: another to manual
adjustment of the joints. Another
to health by faith. Another to the
power of mind over matter. But
isn't the average span of life
about the same in all groups?
But whether You live long or
live short, one thing is certain:
The attitude of your mind toward
Yourself and life has a tremcnd-
Gus effect OF the state of your
