Mrs. Maud Alley has a gorgeous
Christmas tree on her ranch home
north of the city. 1t is large, live
tree and is a mass of colored lights
and can be seen for a considerable
distance in some directions. A
lighted tree is common sight in a

in the pine forest, it surely becomes
thing of beauty. Many are driv-
ing out from the city for sight of
this Christmas tree.

PEACEFUL POLICY
HELD RUSS|A'S AIM
Soviet Unlikely to Fight
Japan, Says Professor,
Unless Toxic Starts It.
- the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Dec. 15.-
The Russian Soviet government is
pursuing a peaceful-not revolutionary
policy in its international relations,
especially in the Far East Prof. Harold
H. Fisher Of Stanford University told
the Institute Of World Affairs today.
Prof. Fisher said the Soviet Union
is not likely to abandon its peace
policy In Asia unless Japan tries to
extend its conquests to Outer Mon
golia and the Russian Far East.
He pointed out that Soviet diplo-
macy the past six years has been con-
ciliatory rather than provocative.
This diplomacy he said, has
condemned-as have most Of the other
powers except Italy and Germany
Japanese aggression on the continent,
but there is no indication that the
Soviet Union will attempt to take ad-
vantage Of the present situation to
wage war on Japan"
The Japanese military is interna-
tional public enemy No. l." the in
stitute was told last night by DR.. Chih
Meng. New York City. director Of the
China Institute in America.
Prof. Fisher conceded there had
been, between Russia and Japan, "a
good many minor incidents, protests
and . certain amount Of fighting
talk" but said major issues had been
adjusted and the Soviet policy had
been conciliatory.
He told of various Soviet fishing and
military concessions to Japan. Some,
he said, actually weakened the eco
nomic and strategic position of the
Soviet Union.

BY the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, Dec. 15.-The
State Liquor Control Commission voted
yesterday to forbid the sale in Michi-
gan Of beer manufactured in 10 States,
retaliating against legislation which
Michigan brewers contend is discrim-
1natory against them
The States are Indiana, Maine,
Maryland, Nevada, PENNSYLVANIA,
Washington, New Hampshire, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont.
John Shea, head of the commits
sion's brewery and alcohol division.
said the 10 States ship $4,000, 900
worth Of beer into Michigan annually.
Indiana accounts for two-thirds of the
total volume and other States for
negligible" amounts, Shea said.
The commission decided on the en-
barge despite Detroit Federal Court
order requiring its members to show
cause December 20 why the ban should
be invoked against Indiana.
Under the Michigan liquor code, the
ban becomes effective in 80 days. The
1887 legislature amended the code to
make mandatory an embargo against
any State imposing discriminatory"
taxes against Michigan brewers.
