SHANGHAI, Nov. G.-(UP)-
The new japanese army, driving
northward on Shanghai today had
fought its way 20 miles TO the
south bank of the Whangpoo river
and is consolidating for a final
march on the city.
The army was landed at Chapoo
under cover of 4 baTage from
heavy guns and Overcame appar-
entity slight Chinese resistance and
drove northward.
While reports flarcd of an i'm
pending truce the Japanese army
today launched new and powerful
attacks on Chinese forces clinging
to western and southern bounda-
ries of this great international
city.
Meantime the japanese claimed
that they had occupied the envi-
rons of Taiyuan-fu, capital Of
ShanSi province, and rapidly were
consolidating their control of the
last Essential areas" of the five
North China provinces which they
are determined to dominate.
Many observers here believed
that the capture of Taiyuan-fu
would satisfy the present ambi.
tions of the japanese army and
render favorable the German eff
fort to end the conflict and start
carefully planned diplomatic
campaign designed eventually to
make China a partner to the Ger
man-JapaneSe-ltalian declaration
against communism.
1t was recalled that Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek always has
been bitterly anti-communist. He
insisted in his recent agreement
with the Chinese communist party,
Incorporating that red organiza-

gram and slogans and adopt the
general program of the Central
China government.
Observers generally believed
that the German mediation effort

BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.-(UP)-
The Chinese delegation to the far

nounced last night that reports Of
a German role of mediation in the
far east were obviously circulate

terror motive of confusing the
opinion of delegates at the nine

The delegation said, cit is en-

DEMOCRAT.FASCIST
CLEAVAGE GROWING

BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.-(UP)-
Japan today was asked by 10 ma
tons whether she would listen TO
proposals to mediate the Chinese
Japanese war.
The invitation was extended TO
Japan after a bitter wrangle De1
tween the chief democratic pow
ers, plus Russia, on one hand, and
Italy on the other, had threatened
to develop.
Japan was asked directly wheth-
er she would establish contact
with the conference.
The message to Tokyo offering
the good offices" Of the assem-
bled nations for mediation appear
ed to be the last slender hope of
an armistice growing out of the
nine-power treaty conference.
Should Japan give an encourage
ing reply the conference probably
would appoint a mediation CONF
mittee, taking into account any
suggestion which the Japanese
might make regarding its men,

The line dividing the three
large democracies and Europe'S
fascist bloc became more pro-
nounced yesterday when Paul
Spaak. president Of the confer
ence and Belgian foreign minis
ter, submitted a draft of note
to Japan which firmly rejected ia
pans claim that the conference is
without any right to intervene in
the conflict.
1.-THE exchanges Of views taking
place in Brussels are based"
Spaak said, Exclusively on the
terms of the nine-power treaty
and consist solely of the full and
frank communication envisaged
in it,"
An hour before he appeared
before the delegates Spaak ac-
copied the invitation of King Leo
pold III to attempt to form a new
cabinet to succeed the resigned
government Of Premier Paul Van

Imperial Valley press., 1937-07-28

Agreement between the United
States and China to expand their
cooperative monetary program
with a plan for bartering gold ana
silver is interesting news for those
who like to keep tab ON now the
wind blows in our foreign relations,
and also, incidentally, for people
who have some loose money they
would like to put away in foreigh
investments.
The new understanding, announc-
ed Jointly by Treasury Secretary
Moreenthau and H. H. Kung,
Chinese finance minister, PROVIDES
simply that the Chinese govern
ment will purchase gold from the
United States, payment for the
gold to be made from the large
silver reserves of the Central Bank
of China
This follows up the agreement OF
Nav. 1886, by which the United
States agreed to purchase "substan-
tial" amounts of silver from the
Central Bank of China, and TO

/ make dollar exchange available to
that bank for stabilization purposes.
AS far as the American public
is concerned, the immediate effect
will amount merely to an increase
in the issuance of silver certificates
But something just a little more
tangible than that is expected by
the astute Chinese. Significantly,
DR., Kung, when he visited the
United States to negotiate the new
pact this summer, suggested frank
ly that American citizens would
find China a good place for invest
ments.
His attitude was that China, a
united, fast-moving and progress
siYe" nation, having demonstrated
! its good faith in seeking a respect
ed place in the world, has fulfilled
the requirements of a reputbals
| borrower.
No one doubts Dr. Kung's sim
cerity. China may be the uncon-
querable land of untold riches, and
its government may be responsible
for all its obligations, insofar as
circumstances permit. But it's just
those circumstances" that may
bring the embarrassing pause as
DR. Kung braces himself for the
rush of investors.
For instance, among those cir
cumstances" might easily be an
other of the incessant border
clashes or bandit raids; another of
the serious skirmishes with one or
more of the rowing Chinese Red
armies. There may be more unan-
nounced invasions by Japan, new
insurgence among the powerful
Cantonese, or even another of those
courtesy" kidnapings. of which

self was a victim not long ago.
If the United StNtes govern
ment can, under conditions which
safeguard its own interest, be of
any assistance to struggling China,
no one can honestly begrudge that
much help
But individual investments are
another thing to a people who re-
member how smart" they were
when thep played their bankrolls
on the responsible" governments
of Europe AS a result, the pro-
verbal Chinese patience may be
tested to the limit before its sales
manship bears fruit.

POLITICS LOOKS
TOWARD 1910

John L. Lewis, like most men who
overrate their own power, has taken the
step which is potentially the fastest skid
he can find toward complete oblivion.
As the leader of labor faction-the
CIO-Lewis might have gained GER
tain enduring recognition. AS politi-
cal figure, he is scheduled for the worst
beating he has ever taken.
Everyone knew that the Non-P Partisan
League was a CIO mouthpiece, but Lewis
big mistake came when he ousted New
Dealers and Republicans alike to make
the league purely a Lewis-CIO political
agency. There seemed to be more than
a hint of third party ambitions in the
movement.
Lewis will not be serious threat to
either major party in any political bat
tie Too many members of the public
even though Lewis doesn't realize it
do not like him.
The battle of 1910 will be between
the major parties. There may be realign-
ments within the parties, but the names
and leaders will remain the same. The
Democrats may try to run Roosevelt for
a third term-or they may choose Gov.
Lehman of New York (call this a pre-
diction if you wild to carry the party
banner. If the Republicans have any
idea who will be their candidate, they
have kept their secret very well.
Lewis voice, by that time, will be a
small wall in the gulf of winds.
