The United States today EN-.
phatically rejected Japan's "justi'
fication" of its air raids on China's
civilian non.combatants.
The American Government, de-
termined to Throw its full moral
weight against what it considers
fragrant violation of civilized con-
duct, holds:
/. Air raids on cities are "un'
warranted and contrary to prin-
ciples of law and Of humanity"
U. s. STANDS FIRM

If civilians reside in the areas

effective toward assuring the
safety of any persons or any
property within the area Of such
operations.
8. The American Government
cannot, under any circumstance.
countenance continuance Of
bombing attacks on defenseless
civilians.
This adamant stand has been
communicated to the Japanese
government through Hirosi Saito,
its ambassador to washington.
TWO COURSES OPEN
If the raids are continued, as
indicated by Japan's curt reply to
the American protests, these pos
sibilities were contemplated:
1. Invocation Of the neutral
ity act, officially bringing the
sino-Japanese conflict into the
open.
2. Dispatch Of q more EN-
phatic note to Tokyo.

attitude"
There was visible relief in State
Department circles, however, over
the fact that the air raids on non
combatants areas have meaSurably
diminished since the worldwide
outcry.

ton. the Treasury revealed today.
The disclosure was made by
Representative Cei1er CDJ of New
York. after . conference with
Undersecretary of the Treasury

ceived and is giving considera.
ton to suggestions from many
sources" an official statement

PRESIDENT, U. s.,
Wait ON BLACK

right now combing the country

something additional "to have on
Black" after the speech tonight.
TO AVOID NAMES
Justice Black is expected to pay
his respects to this situation, but
will carefully refrain from men
tioning a specific corporation or
individual; the reason being that
practically every one of the cor
porations he could mention is
engaged in one or more lawsuits
against some phase of the Govern.
ment's control over private power
and it's effort to establish Govern
ment owned power as with IVA.
DENIED COURTESY
Administrator OFFICIALS are noL-
all in sympathy with Justice Black.
This is evidenced by the fact that
he did not have the usual
courtesy of the port" when he
came into Norfolk from Europe,
but that a customs inspector sub
jected his baggage to scrutiny.
"A tip on the way the high Off
Gals of the Government feel per
sonally may be gained from the re-
ported expression of James Roose-
welt, secretary to the President,
who is understood to have said his
fathers private convictions were
not necessarily favorable to JUS
tice Black.

POLITICS BARRED
ON ROOSEVELT'S
VISIT TO CANADA
Good Neighbor" Call
Made on Dominion
BY JOHN O'DONNELL

PORT ANGELES, WASH, OCL.
/ (C.TP.SJ.-President Roose-
velt's good neighbor" call on Can
ada, up where the slogan of $40
or fight" once threatened a war
between young America and Great
Britain, yesterday marked his sec
ond visit to Canada since entering
the White House. In 1896 he
wound up his summer cruise with
a formal visit to Quebec.
From every outward indication,
politics was strictly barred. There
was family privacy about the
luncheon which the President,
Mrs. Roosevelt, son James and
Mrs. James Roosevelt, daughter
Anna and son-in-law John Beet
tiger ate at Government House in
Victoria as guests of Lieut.. Gov.
Eric Hamber and Premier T. D.
Pattullo of British Columbia.
IN HIS HAPPIEST VEIN
The President was in his hap
piest vein as he responded to the
toast the President of the United
States"
I'm a Canadian of SO years
standing" he said, telling the
story Of how his family had
sent him at the age of three and
q half to the Roosevelt summer
home in Campobello, New Bruins
wick, ION account Of my teeth
ing period"
Since then I've been coming
back to Canada very, very
often" went on the President,
and I hope that for the rest
Of my life I'll be a part.time
resident of the Dominion"
TELLS OF TOAST TO KING
Touching lightly on the delicate
subject Of the abdication Of former
King Edward, the President told
his Canadian friends that he is
uncertain whether the last toast
he drank to the King, was drunk
to the present Duke of Windsor or
King George. The President told
how he was in Trinidad at the
time, returning from his South
American good will cruise. He went
ashore to pay his respects to the
governor of the British colony and
the toast to the King was drunk,
as it turned out, at the very hour
that Edward was formally abdicat-
ing the throne.
And so I don't know whether
that toast was drunk to King
Edward or the new King" said
the President.
FRIENDLINESS STRESSED
Mr.. Roosevelt recalled that he
had known the father of the pres
ent King during the World War,
and recalled their common inter
ests in stamp collecting and nav
igation. Lord Tweedsmuir, the
governor-general he had known
for years, said Roosevelt, and the
premier, Mackenzie King, was an
old Harvard friend.
81 come here today feeling,
with a great deal of pleasure,
that we have come to the point
during the last three or four
years when the heads of our gov
ernments cross our border just
as though passing from one prov
ince or one State to another"
said the President.
