CHANG SEES NEED
OF INTERVENTION
Tells Nations Own Safety
Make Immediate Step
Necessary.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NANKING, August 31.-Generalis-
simo Chang kai-Shek, premier and
supreme army commander Of China,
told the nations of the world today
that their own safety made necessary
immediate international intervention
to end the Sino-Japanese War.
Intervention is imperative not only
for China's sake but for international
safety" the generalissimo declared in
an interview.
IT the nations Of the world recog-
nize the menace OF Japanese aggres-
sion and wish to prevent its conse-
quences from descending on the whole
world, directly and indirectly, they
should take immediate action"
Sitting beside the generalissimo was
Nine. Chang, the former Melting
SoOng, his Americana educated wife,
who acted as interpreter.
The simple truth" Chang said,
sis that Japj n acted with the object
OF crushing China and establishing
a continental empire for herself The
significance of this fact needs no
emphasis.
China Fighting for World.
China happens to be fighting with
inadequate equipment, not only its
own battle but the battle of all those
nations who base their lives on the
sanctity and validity of treaties, and
especially. those whose large CONNER
clal interests in China are being sys-
tematically destroyed and their rep
resentatives driven away"
Asked what he considered the main
results of the war to date, the gen.
eralissimo listed four points.
The first result is united rallying
OF the people of China to defend
themselves against ruthless foe that
disregards all canons of international
law and all sense OF human decency
in invading China on false pretenses
and destroying the lives and property
OF noncomba tants, Chinese and for
eign.
The second result IS the apparent
| acceptance by the powers OF the dis
placement OF international law and
the substitution therefor of a system
OF fake incident making which is
used as Justification for chastising
a country by invading it. occupying
1t and annexing parts of it. That is

NEWTON, N. H. August 3l.-A con-
| 9reSslonal committee last night ended
its inquiry into the disputed first
district election, but controversy over
whether Republican Arthur B. jerks
or Democrat Alphonse Roy should
hold the United States Representative s
post continued.
We have finished the job we were
sent here to do" said Charles A. VOL
verton, Republican. of New Jersey.
We have established that 458 per-
sons and not 424 voted There re-
mains no question of the right of
jerks to hold the seat in Congress as
Representative of the first congress
Sional district
tAwarded the post by the State
Ballot Commission after several re-
counts, jerks served as Representa-
tive during the last session of Con-
gress despite determined efforts to un-
seat him by supporters of Roy)
The issue" countered Roys counsel,
lis not how many persons voted in
Newton in the last election but rather
how many votes were cast for Con-
gresham here"
447 Say They Voted.
Roy has contended that only 424
votes were cast for Representatives
jerks has maintained there were 458
cast.
Voters were asked only: did you
vote November g.?
AS the Representatives left this
town after hearing 447 of its citizens
answer that question. Acting Com
mittee Chairman Ben Cravens, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas said the committees
report, accompanied by specific recon-
mendations, would be submitted to
the next session of the National House
OF Representatives.
In the three-day parade OF voters
before the committee, 447 testified they
voted, three said they did not cast
their ballots. Five absentee voters
and three i'll persons have still to be
accounted for. They will be visited
by a subcommittee.
Law Violated.
Last witness Of the day was Secre-
taly OF State Enoch Fuller, who said
seals and wrappers for the ballots
were not saved, although so required
by law, after delivery at the State
House.
He testified half a dozen or more"
Janitors had access to the room where
the ballots were left opened on a table
during a recount as officials went to
meals.
He further testified he had no
knowledge any Newton ballots were
missing until after a recount. He
SAID there was discrepancy of "a
ballots in the count, his figures Show
ing 424 votes and town figures show
ing 458
But, he added, he considered the
difference merely a discrepancy "as
happens many times" so he did not
label the ballots missing
Deputy Secretary of State Harry
E. Jackson testified he received the
ballots at the State capitol at Con-
cord, signed for them and noticed
nothing suspicious about the seals or
wrappers.

Benefit Dinner.

IN denouncing the brutal, ruthless,
cruel' warfare of Japan against
China's civilian population, Chinese
Ambassador Chengting T. Wang be-
gan his address at benefit dinner
for Chinese war refugees last night
with a tale
When Edward VII was King of
England, one of his grandSons (pos-
sibly the present King) attempted to
speak to him at the dinner table" the
Ambassador said. He was frowned
down. Again and again, the prince
tried, but Edward said no with his
eyebrows.
Nov, what did you want to say?'
asked the King at the end of the
meal.
~ wished to tell you about the fly
tn your pudding said the boy, but
now it's too late
Likewise, unless world war is pre-
vented Wang warned, lit will be too
late to save our civilization from ruin
The Ambassador stood before the
American and Chinese flags both red
white and blue, and spoke in precise
Oxford accent.
There is just one way to prevent
world war, and that is through pactS
OF collective security against aggres-
sors. We have entered such a pact
with Russia the Ambassador de-
clared
He charged that there has been
repeated and deliberate bombing and
machine cunning of Red Cross units,
educational institutions and fleeing
civilians"
Applause answered his assertion that
Il cannot call this by any other name
than barbarism.' small Chinese
boy Jumped up and down on his seat
In excitement when Wang said that
the Chinese people love peace, but
will fight for liberty"
The dinner, held at the Lotus Res
taurant, was attended by about $50,
OF whom a majority were Occidental.
The evenings entertainment was a de-
