TOKYO, Aug. 10. (UP)-Jap-
anese navy chieftainS today
threatened direct punitive action
against China as the result Of the
killing of of two japanese navy
men at Shanghai.
Leading navy officers ignored
the government at large and con-
ferred for hours, then decided
that the navy would take punt
tive action against the Chinese
if they persisted in a provocative
attitude toward Japan.
The navy'S threat is important
because it was similar to navy ac-
ton in 1882 that precipitated the
Shanghai war.
Japanese admitted today that
the Chinesc-Japanese war has
spread over so wide an area that
protracted conflict appears in
evitable.
Additional reserves were called
to the colors and the movement
of troops and supplies to the
NortaAChina, front speeded. r..
Meantime the regular daily ses-
sion of the "big five" members Of
the cabinet was to be held at noon
with Prince Fumimaro Konoye,
the premier, presiding, to discuss
the critical situation in Shanghai
where a Japanese naval officer
and sailor were killed by Chi
nese soldiers.
The army had remained in
full control of the situation and
there was an increasing opinion
among the senior officers of the
general staff that all China must
be humbled, "once and for all"
Lieut.. Gen. Gen Sugiyama, war
minister, earlier today had receiv-
ed newspapermen for the first
time since the war started, and
told them that unless China awak-
ems to the actual situation, and
reconsiders her actions, Chinese
Japanese relations will reach a
crisis.
Japan intends to maintain
peace on a basis of international
justice, he said.

Stung By
World Criticism
OF Strengthening

ROME (C)-Arnaldo Cortesi,
writing to the New York Times,
says Italy has been stung to the
quick by the world wide criticism
caused by her mass executions in
Adds Ababa, Ethiopia, following
an attempt on Marshall Graziani's
life. At first clainning there was
no serious trouble, and that the
country was well under control,
Italy now says a big uprising had
been fomented by Ras Desta, and
that the figures quoted Of the num-
Der of Philippians shot were in
correct.
1t is now clear that nobody
knows how many Philippians have
been put to death. as Italy fatty
refuses to say. An official state
ment from the italian government
says: 'The figures on the natives
shot are nobody's business but
our own and it may be said ofi-
cially that all those published 80
far are completely incorrect and
it may be regarded as pure spec
uletion."

Anti-Lynch Bill
Again III Senate

WASHINGTON lC)--A new
anti-lynching bill was introduced
in the Senate Thursday by Senator
Wagner Of New York and Senator
Van Mugs Of Indiana, providing for
punishment, through Federal law.
Of any legal officer whose neg
iigence leads to the lynching Of a
person intrusted to his custody, OF
charged with, suspected Of. or con-
victed Of any crime. IN addition,
a penalty Of from $1,000 to $4,000
may be charged against any local
subdivision Of government which
fails to protect and give fair trial
to those suspected or accused of
crime.
Certain southern senators fear
that If the presidents plan to en-
large the Supreme Court goes
through, an anti : lynching bin
might be held constitutional. They
believe the present Supreme Court
Justices would hold such a bill un-
constitutional.

Africans Under Nazis

-LONDON-Hitler's demands for
the return of the former German
colonies in Africa were supported
by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
who has just delivered the sixth
lecture at London University Oil
United States colonial policy, in
an interview with the press here.
Colonel Roosevelt admitted that
the Nazi claims that the colonies
are required for Germany's sur

advanced the theory that return
of the colonies to Germany would
help to satisfy German pride and
thus curb HitIer's war-monger-

Hitler's demands are vigorously
opposed by Negro organizations

Signatures
On Cayagan Bill

WASHINGTON MAR. 81 - All
friends Of the federal anti-lynch-
ing bin are urged to write their
congressman in the House urging
them to sign the petition No. 5 of
Congressman Joseph A. Gavagan
Of New York, filed March 3, seek.
ing 218 signatures to discharge
the Rules Committee from consid-
GRAFTON of his resolution No. 125.
This resolution sought a special
rule to make the Gavagan anti
lynching bin a special order of bu-
siness on the floor Of the House,
and to take the bill out of the jur-
isdiction of the house judiciary
committee, where it has been bur-
led due to the hostility Of the
committee chairman. Congressman
Hatton Summers of Texas. Con-
gresham Summers has declared
he win never grant a hearing on
an anti-lynching bill. The Gavag-
an resolution seeks to clrcumvent
Congressman Summers by making
the bill a special order of busin-
ess on the floor Of the House,
without a previous hearing or vote
by the judiciary committee. The
resolution is property of the rules
committee, which has not acted,
therefore as his third move Con-
gresham Gavagan has filed this
petition No. 8 to discharge the
rules committee.
1t is thought that the 21s sig
natures of Mr.. Gavagan's petition
win be secured quickly If voters
back home will write their con-
gressmen calling their attention to
the Gavagan petition mo. 81 and
asking them to sign it.
This action will speed consider
alton Of the federal anti-lynching
bill which is receiving increased
sttsation even in the face Of the
hot debates over the proposals for
changes IN the supreme court.
