Washington, Nov. 5.-On July 70,
1927, the then Japanese Premier Tan
aka submitted to the Mikado memo
randum looking toward the Japanese
annexation of Manchuria as the first
step toward the conquest of China,
the United States and the rest Of the
world"
Somehow Chinese Ambassador
Wang, now in Washington, succeeded
in digging up a copy of this memo
randum. And he has seen to it that
the State Department has been in
formed of it.
It really is remarkable document.
Ambassador Wang offers no comment
in connection with it. It speaks for
itself, in his opinion.
The PurpOrted Document.
Boiled down, Premier Tanaka ar
gued that:

want to control China, we must first

Washington, Nov 5.-(AP)-Fresi-
dent Roosevelt said today the more
dangerous stock speculation becomes
the less people ought to go in for it,
The President made his comment on
stock market activities when asked
at press conference if he planned
to take any steps to mako stock spe-
culation less dangerous
He said there were two ways of
looking at that, the more dangerous
it is, the less people ought to indulge
in speculation
He added if it were not dangerous
everybody would make money. Asked
if he considered the market danger
Gus, the President said that question
did not make sense.
Meantime, the seven members of
the Bituminous Coal Commission dis
cussed their differences with the Pre-
sident at lengthy conference during
the day. The commission has been
split into two factions over policies
and personnel appointments. When
they came out of the White House,
the commissioners declined to talk
to newspaper men. They said any
statement would have to come from
the President.

Washington, Nov. (AP)-President
Roosevelt told press conference to-
day he had already favored reunion
of the American Federation of Labor
and the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization.
The President gave his comment in
reply to the final question put at his
first press interview since returning
to Washington after 12-day stay at
Hyde Park. His first statement came
a few hours before peace committees
of the AF'L and Go were to resume
their sessions.
The President was asked if he fav-
oled action to bring the CLIO and AFL
together. He replied he always had
advocated that.
Asked if the administration had
been taking an active part in trying
to get the warning labor factions to-
gether, he replied not that he knew of.
Asked next if Matthew Woll ALL
delegate to the peace conference would
call on his soon the President said he
would. He said the engagement had
been planned for some time.
The labor conference, meanwhile,
tween the AFL and the CIO by agree
ing to discuss which industries should
have broad industrial unions.
Observers interested in ending the
two-year dispute between these two
factions of organized labor called the
decision a hopeful sign. Negotiators
for both sides indicated for the first
time there had been some actual pro-
greSS.

fully expected today to steal march
on the Brussels conference, which
she declined to attend, and settle the
Chinese-Japanese war herself.
Preliminary informal requests from
both China and Japan for Chancellor
Hitler to act as umpire in their four
months-old conflict were regarded by
Germany as so bonafide that Hitler,
according to a source close to the
chancelory ordered diplomat Joachim
Won Ribbentrop to return posthaste
from Rome to undertake preliminary
negotiations.
German sources conceded consider
able time might yet elapse before an
official announcement of Hitler's role
could be made. They also admitted
the fortunes of war might so turn
that plans for mediation would have
to be postponed. But they were fully
convinced if any one could settle the
Far Eastern difficulties as an i'm
partial outsider it was Germany.

County's bridges, but the county got
it back.
It was a 15-ton structure to be plac-
ed across Winters Run at Hooker's
Mill. The steelwork was delivered to
the site. but when workmen went to
put it in place, it was gone.
Sheriff Granville C. Boyle said he
found it later at a Havre de Grace

and is looking for a fifth one. The
four prisoners said they didn't know
they were stealing anything they
were just hired to cart it to the junk

it.
Meanwhile, the county commission
ers have to pay for transporting it
back to Winters Run. They also have
