Quiet Criticism, Inter
national Cooperation
REVIEWS HIS PLEA FOR
ACTIVE PEACE STEPS
Tells What Nine P over
Treaty Signatories
Expect to Do

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Pres-
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt's re-
newed plea for active steps to pre-
serve peace is interpreted by many
observers as designed to quiet crit
icism Of his policy of International
cooperation which might lead to
war.
Declaring in an address last
night that mere refusal to recognize
war in other parts of the world does
not guarantee this country's aloof-
ness from conflict, the President
said:
In the world of mutual suspic-
ions, peace must be affirmatively
reached and cannot just be wished
for, cannot just be waited for"
Significant Remark
The President then added, signi-
ficantly:
Remember that from 1913 to 1921
I was fairly close to world events
in that period.
Whlle l learned much OF what
to do i also learned much of what
not to do"
To many observers, this apparel
to be an expression of intention to
pursue a moderate course in foreign
affairs.
Nine Power Conference
President Roosevelt emphasized
that the conference of signatories
to the Nine Power Treaty will seek
a solution for the Far Eastern con-
flict by agreement.
The President said the United
States proposes to cooperate with
all signatories of the Nine Power
Treaty, including China and Japan

GREAT BRITAIN
ADMITS CRISIS

Prime Minister Calls Lead
err of Opposition in
Consultation

LONDON, Oct. 49, Premier
Chamberlin took an unusual step
today and called Major Clemens
Attlee, leader of the Laborite oppo-
sition in Parliament, and his dep
uty, Arthur Greenwood, into con-
sultation on the International Sit
uation.
Such conference rarely takes
place and, occurs only when Par
lament is not in session or when
important Government decisions
are up for consideration. Such a
move, as instituted today, is prob
ably to obtain the apposition's sup
port to the Governments policy in
the present crisis.
The move followed an impasse
between Italy on one side and Great
Britain and France on the other
side.
Other Ministers of the British
Cabinet meet in an air of pessimism
resulting from reports that Pre-
mier Mussolini has called up $4,000
Blackshirt reserves. Rome, in dis
patches received here, denied that
the troops are destined for the
Spanish Civil War.
Great Britain and France have
asked Mussolini to withdraw his
forces from Spain.

Yesterday, in Bangor, Maine, the
leader, Al Brady, and one associate
gunman, Clarence Shaffer Jr., was
killed, and another gangman, James
Dalhover, surrendered when G-Men
surprised the three after they had
been secretly trailed for months.
From Indiana, home of John Dill

labelled the most vicious operating
The gang was composed of Al
Brady and his two understood pals
who had boasted frequently, ac-
cording to underworld gossip, that
they would Dillinger" Dillinger.
They went long way towards max
ing good.
Police charge them specifically
with three killings. several bank
robberies and holdups. There was
a Federal reward of $500 out for
each.
Like Dillinger, they broke Jail af-
ter one whirl at outlawry.
Like Dillinger and his hench-
men, they started then on a series
of bank robberies.

Like the Dillinger gang, they had

j. Edgar Hoover had set after them

Most important of all, possibly
the gang had known its weakness.
Like Dillinger, its members were
overly fond of women.
The "braga squad" were just two

products of broken homes, and are

CHINESE RESISTANCE
HOLDS ON ALL FRONTS
Attempt to Capture Strate-
gic Position Fails in
Fierce Fighting

SHANGHAI, Oct. 13.--The Chin
ese spokesman declared today that
the Japanese forces have lost more
than 5000 dead or wounded in the
disastrous attempt to crash the
Chinese defense lines across the
Wentsaiang creek into Tanzang,
four miles northwest of the In
ternational Settlement.
The Japanese Army officials used
$4,000 men in the desperate thrust.
One Japanese flying column
pushed ahead of the main body
three miles to the outskirts of Tan
zang where it was met by a MUIR
derous machine gun fire and forced
to retreat to the original position,
leaving hundreds of dead or wound
ed on the little battlefield.
The capture of Tanzang by the
Japanese might force the Chinese
troops to withdraw from the hotly
contested Chaphei Sector in order
to escape being thanked and sur
rounded from the west.
Despite the whitening fire from
land, sea and air, the Chinese still
cling to all other fronts in the
Shanghai district.
1t is admitted ON all sides that
the command of the Chinese forces
is most significant and great gen.
eralship is shown, also great fight
ing ability OF the Chinese is re-
vealed.
