CH|ANG'S REMOVAL.

Foreign Minister Hirota Re-
veaIs Objective in Un-
declared War.
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC. September 2.-Foreign
Minister Koki Hirota indicated today
that Japan's objective in its undeclared
war with China was the elimination
Of Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek,
premier Of China.
Describing Gen. Chang as "the
spearhead of the anti-Japan move
ment," the foreign minister declared
Japan's main objective in China at
the moment was the up-rooting of
anti-Japanese elements and the re-
establishment Of cooperation between
China and Japan.
On the eve Of an extraordinary ses-
sion Of the Diet, the major political
parties unanimously adopted resolu-
tions Of support for government
policies. At q national mass meeting,
the parties urged overthrow Of the
Marking government and "chastise-
ment" Of China.
Economic Control Urged.
The Toxic Chamber Of Commerce
urges the government to establish
Central japanese economic control in
which both state and private interests
would participate.
The foreign minister, who received
correspondents at his official residence
for q two-hour interview, linking the
recently concluded Sino-Russian nom
aggression pact and anti-Japan senti-
ment, declared:
THE leaders Of present-day China
have long fostered anti-japanism as
. tool for political purposes. To that
end they openly and energetically pre-
pared for war with Japan through
collusion with Communists. The Sino-
Soviet, pact is of especial significance
In this regard"
Japan as q bulwark against the
encroachment Of communism can not
afford to remain Indifferent" he added.
Rights to BE Respected.
Hirota declared that the rights and
interests Of third powers in China
would 'be fully respected by Japan"
At the same time he invited the
powers, "in order that peace may be
restored as soon as possible" to refrain
from any action which would be likely
to prolong the conflict.
He declared that the japanese
blockade Of Chinax coast would not
interfere with foreign vessels with
peaceful intentions"

HONG KONG HIT

City Devastated and MANY
Ships Sunk-Death
Toll Rising.
Pictures OF Hong Kong water-
front on page A-3.)

By the Associated Press.
HONG KONG, September Fire
caused by disastrous typhoon, ragged
through Hong Kong today after a 1875
mile-an-hour wind had taken hun
dreds of lives ashore and at sea. The
death toll, steadily rising, was believed
to have passed 500. Officials expressed
fear it would mount into thousands.
A wide area of this British Crown
colony was devastated and waist-deep
in water. Large and small ships were
piled up on the sea wall and strewn
in the submerged water front streets.
Distress calls from laundering ships
poured in from all sides. Shipping
suffered particularly heavily in the
gale, one of the worst in Hong Kongs
history, because the harbor Is
thronged with refugee-laden ships
from the Shanghai war zone and
steamers that have taken haven from
the japanese coastal blockade.
One of the foundered steamers was
the liner Human, carrying 1900 Chi
nese refugees from the Shanghai
sector.
Dutch Liner Is Lost.
The 4,552-ton Dutch liner Van
Heutsz was total loss. Two Of the
largest ships in the harbor, the 18,765-
ton Lloyd Trietino liner Conte Verde
and the 16,975-ton Japanese liner
Asama Maru, were swept ashore.
Two British ships, the Mausang and
Boong Court, and the Chinese Queton
were reported sunk. The British
steamers Lyeemoon, Kalgan and
Kwangchow, the Norwegian freighter
Produce and the Chinese Shenglee
were pounded ashore
British police and revenue officers,
heroically forming human lifeline
strung together with ropes, rescued
the crews of many smaller stranded
ships and hundreds Of Chinese ref
ueees
Downtown Area Demolished.
The downtown area Of Hong Kong
was demolished as completely as If
it had been bombed. Streets were lit
tered with the debris Of shattered
windows, collapsed walls, blown-down
signs and the wrecks of automobiles.
Fifteen bodies were recovered from
the fire caused by the gale. It was
not known how many others were
trapped in the flames and ruins Of
caved-in buildings.
Countless scores of small craft were
tossed like chips against the seawall
and those who made them their
homes were drowned. Observatory
instruments ceased to function after
registering 125 mile an hour
velocity.
Fifty Chinese were reported to have
been killed almost instantly when a
block of buildings collapsed at Tai Pc.
Along the coast at Macao serious
damage was done, particularly to the
picturesque colony Of boat dwellers.

Senator's Support Sought
to End "Favoritism" Unit
Says Is Shown c. To-.

BACKGROUND
The American labor movement
definitely split into two factions
some 1S months ago uhen 10 major
A. F. OF L. unions joined under John
L. Let0is to organize mass industries
Without regard to craft jurisdic-
tions. A. F. OF L. leadership sus-
pended Le,Dis faction and two
groups haze ,Ualked separately eper
since. In many instances, bitter
riudlry has reached dopn to ranks
OF actual ,rorkers.
Support from Senator Wagner,
Democrat, OF New York, author OF the
labor relations act, today was called
for by Dan w. Tracy. president Of
the International Brotherhood, OF
Electrical Workers. The union and
its parent body. the A. F. Of L., yes
terday declared war on the National
Labor Relations Board, administrative
agency for the law, because Of alleged
favoritism toward the c. I. o.
In q telegram to Wagner, Tracy
asked the New York Senator to make
good on a pledge that the legislation
would not be used as an instrument
to defeat legitimate labor unions, u
and to inform the board that its deci-
sion in the National Electric Prod
ucts Corp. case that has caused the
trouble is contrary to assurances to
labor"
The board held in effect on Tues
day that q contract between the
National Electric and the electricians
union is invalid.
Telegram to Wagner.
Tracy wired Wagner as follows:
When national labor relations act
was enacted by Congress in July, 1885
you, as the chief sponsor, gave assur-
ance to the American Federation o1
Labor unions that act would not be
used as an instrument to defeat legiti-
mate labor unions. Decision now
rendered by National Labor Relations
Board involving so-called National
Electric Products Corp. case is direct
attack upon International Brotherhood
Of Electrical Workers, q labor organi-
zation with nearly half century OF
honorable service. That decision
strikes at the right Of legitimate labor
unions to enter into labor contracts
and agreements with fair employers
Respectfully suggest. that you advise
National Labor Relations Board that
its decision is contrary to your assur.

SHANGHAI, September 2.-Japanese
naval authorities warned the British
Army today to evacuate its outposts on
the western boundary of the Interna-
tional Settlement as they were pre-
pairing to bomb the Chinese communi-
cation lines in the adjacent Jessfield
Park district. The British did not
reply.

ican Marines. st. Johns University

Jessfleld Park Station and the railroad
and highway bridges across Soochow
Creek.
Japanese air squadrons dumped
bombs on the northern borders Of the
International Settlement in a sunset
air raid, just missing the sandbagged
sectors defended by American Marines.
The bombs played havoc with life
and property but, apparently, achieved
no military objective.
Shrapnel fell about United States
Marine posts. The American lines
were directly in the range Of fire. The
steel-helmeted Marines were in i'm

land on the Liuho and Woosung
shores.
Crack Chinese division were holding
up the japanese advance all along

the historic Woosung forts, through
Paoshan to Lotien. There was fierce
fighting in every sector. :
American naval observers reported
IA japanese transports of Liuho and
IA others of Woosung, endeavoring
to discharge troops, tanks and heavy
artillery.
American naval officers estimated
this would bring Japan's forces in
the Shanghai Woosung-Liuho sector
to more than $4,000 men, opposed to
q Chinese strength of some 100000.
For days Japan has been landing
reinforcements for the big push to
sweep the Chinese out of the rich
