Hopes that Japan will negotiate
for settlement of her conflict
with China under terms of the
nine-power pact were expressed
today by Davis in an address be-
fore a full meeting of the parley.
KOO MAKES APPEAL
He admitted, however, that set
tlement of the Far Eastern war
will be difficult in the present stu.
alton, in which rights and interests
of other powers are involved.
Davis declared:
1.-THE final analysis is whether
international relations shall be
determined by arbitrary force or
by respect for international trea-
ties If the conception of
change by violence prevails, we
shall be faced by international
anarchy"
The full assembly went into
session at 1870 a. m.
DR.. V. K. Wellington Koo, chief
of the Chinese delegation, was the
first speaker. He vigorously ap.
pealed to the conference to with.
hold supplies from Japan and
send assistance to China.
"Conciliatory efforts of the
conference" he declared, have
served only to inspire Japan's
insolence. soft words are of no
avail. The time has come for
action.
British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden and French Foreign
Minister Yvon Delbos in their
speeches launched yelled attacks
against the Italo-G -German-JapaneSe
Anti-Comintern pact. Eden said
it was impossible to accept the
doctrine that the Far Eastern war
is a matter for the Chinese and
Japanese alone.

Gable Picks Ten Best Director

Clark Gable is out for revenge
on directors who always are mix

composite Of the perfect Holly

So now Gable, who is co-star-

Hollywood directors on a "spot"
by blending them in q directorial
composite.
His idea of the perfect director

and announced that she and
Jackie will be married next Decem-

It is possible, she said, that their

Now that I do most Of my

I'm amazed at the popularity
Of the so-called horse operas,

contrary to popular belief, adults

It's a great audience to play
