Legislature Next Week
May Be Asked For Money
For Broad Road Program

Raleigh, August 3t-(AP--The spe-
cal session of the legislature next
week may be asked to authorize q
highway improvement at State insti-
tutions.
Governor Hoey said he had asked
the Advisory Budget Commission to
hear all requests for buildings for
institutions, and then hear Chairman
Frank Dunlap, of the highway and
public works commission, on Plans
to eliminate dangerous curves and
widen narrow highways. The money
for the highways, as well as from the
buildings, would have to come from

a bond issue which could not exceed
Sc, 1866, 227, Governor Hoey said, but
that amount would represent only So
percent of the possible building pro-
gram if the PWA would match all
the funds.
Hoey said he emphasized to the
budget makers that they should recon-
mend to the special session of the leg
islature only such buildings as it
was found were necessary. He said
no worthy cause should be denied
because the need was not immediate,
if there would be real need in a
year or so.

Warning; Both Claim
Peaceful Motives

Tokyo, Aug. 3.-(AP)-The Japan
csc government directed its second
protest in "a hours to Soviet Russia
today in an effort by diplomacy to end
bitter fighting on the Russian Siberia
Japanese Manchoukuo frontier.
The fighting was still in progress
early today between large forces Of
well equipped troops with airplanes
and tanks, and it was felt in authori-
tative circles that the exchange in
gunfire marked the first round of the
Far East's second unofficial war.
A later cOmmunique said the bat
tie ended at 10 a. M, and that the
Russian troops had retreated some L.
500 yards from Japanese positions.
A general lull' prevailed along the
border following the battle, the COM
munique said A foreign office spokes-
man said Japan hoped to localize the
trouble and settle it by the diplomatic
methods, but the presence of large
forces in the frontier area indicated
the battle, which began Sunday,
might be merely a prelude to major
operations.
Those who held that second unde-
clared war in the Orient had begun
argued that Russia believed Japan
was near financial exhaustion and a
now or never moment" had arrived
to fight preventive war to forestall
attack by Japan in the future.

WHETHER you line your new
w draperies or not will depend
on how heavy the material is. 1t
is important, however, that the
top of draperies be stiffened when
a French heading is used. A soft
canvas which may be purchased
in drapery departments is gen.
orally used for this purpose. From
four to six inches is good depth
to cut the heading canvas. Turn
the top of the curtain material
over it and sew as at A.
Now measure the width of your
curtain and plan the plaits to take
up half this width. In heavy ma
terial, four or five inches will be
enough. It is a good plan to let
the space between the plaits be
the same as the amount of ma
terial the plaits take up. The first
plat may come just inside the
finish of the outside edge of the
drapery or it may be placed two
or three inches in.
Start to sew the plat about an
inch down from the top of the
drapery and sew it the depth of
the stiffening, as shown here at b.
Pinch this plat into three small
plaits and, starting two inches
down from the top, sew through
as at c. Sew these plaits the

seige were in more danger of harm
from enraged Chinese troops than
from the attacking Japs.
Japan's habit of attaching an
apology to the tail of every bomb
she drops on Westerners in China
is, to say the least, beginning to
reek of insincerity. The Panay at
tack and several others have been
established as deliberate. We can
take little solace from the fact that
japanese civilians are opposed to
such tactics, because only the army
and navy count in Nippon. The en-
peror, the premier and the people
are puppets.
Occidentals have never been pop
ular in the Orient. Three centuries
ago they invaded China like they in
vaded America 200 years earlier,
selfish in their interests, despised
and suspected. They were tribute
bearers, later to become tribute TAX
ers. Canton was designated by the
emperor as their sole trading and
residence area. and only few Chi
nese merchants were permitted to
have dealings with them. But Brit

Does japan MASK Her Purpose?
who Is the Enem "
China or the
White Man?
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

In Shanghai last July two
japanese naval underlings were
allegedly slain by the Chinese.
In retaliation a whole fleet of
stern-nosed Nipponese battle
ships appeared from nowhere
and began Smelling Shanghai.
That was the start of Japan's
current "war of defense" in
China. If some of us scratch
our heads over the ''war of de-
tense" idea, it may as well be
explained that the Sino-Jap sit
uation is full Of paradoxes and
puzzles. For example:
Japan fears foreign criticism
but invites it by Smelling Ameri-
can and British ships.
She claims to be helping
China while bombing cities,
slaughtering innocent natives
and destroying everything in
sight.
She dislikes Westerners, yet
makes a Fascist pact with
Germany and Italy.
She signed the nine-power
treaty guaranteeing China's in
tegrity, yet now invades that
country.
Such, perhaps, is the history of
all nations that 60 to war, breaking
treaties and casting aside long-es-
tablished governmental tenets. If
Japan's unusual attitude seems
more hysterical than that of the
average nation at war, it's either
because the Japs are naive or ex-
tremely clever. Probably they're
clever, so clever that Western pow
ers are just beginning to under
stand this Chinese invasion.
Japan, some observers say, is
warning not on China, but on West
ern domination in the Orient! The
''divine destiny" she pursues is a
union of all Asiatic nations under
Japanese domination. The net re-
suit will be expulsion of British,
French, American and Portuguese
commercial interests.
Apologies Come Fast.
Diplomatic files of both America
and Great Britain are choked with
so-called apologies" for hostile
acts such as the Panay incident,
bombing of H. M. S. Ladybird and
the aerial attack on Britain's am
bassador to China. But despite these
apologies the incidents continue.
And, amazingly, many recent ORR
entail attacks on Western powers
have come from the Chinese!
A Chinese pilot bombed the S. S.
President Hoover. Later Chinese
anti-aircraft shell killed a sailor on
the U. S. S. Augusta. In fairness
to the Chinese it should be admitted
that both these attacks may have
been accidental. But Nationals in

Punc+uality Essential

The individual who is always a
little late in appointments reveals
a weakness of character that
punctual people are quick to OBJ
serve, and it is interesting to note
that successful men are almost al
ways punctual. It is a hard thing
to hold a mans confidence while he
waits for you to keep an appoint
ment.-V. A.

Washington conference she was
forced to relinquish many of these
gains, but the die had been cast.
She showed little hesitation about
breaking treaties when Manchuria
began to look tempting. Her ma
tional self-esteem has grown ire
mendously until Japan now feels a
patriotic duty in uniting the Orient
under her domination.
Thus the Occidentals have two
forces driving them out of China:
first, the Chinaman's natural hos
tility and, second, Japan's divine
destiny" in the Orient.

ish, American and other traders ac-
copied these insulting terms be-
cause their ships sailed homeward
laden with richer tribute than they
had brought.
Opium Restrictions Lifted.
Occidentals were responsible for
China's opium curse, for they be-
gan smuggling it from India late in
the Eighteenth century despite gov
ernmental edicts to the contrary. In
1889 when China confiscated British
opium the English sent ships and
soldiers, destroyed half of Canton
and forced China to sign her first
humiliating treaty in 1912.
Grudgingly, she later made pacts
with other Occidental powers and
permitted establishment of the in
ternational settlement in Shanghai.
But China resented these privileges
of the white men and there was
more bloodshed in 1856, after which
Britain won trading rights at five
additional ports. Opium importation
restrictions were also relaxed u
Britain's glee and poor China's mis-
cry.
In 1859 British and French ships
were attacked at Taku. Within two
years the allies had taken Picking
and forced still another treaty down
China's throat. Some time later
came establishment of the Euro
pean controlled imperial customs
service at Shanghai. Western con-
quest of China was growing rapidly.
Shanghai and other cities became
Occidental, featured by skyscrap-
ers, European dress and the white
mans customs. China, proud of
her ancient culture, kept the resent
ment of this intrusion ranking in
her breast. The American Indian
probably felt the same way, and
both have been justified.
Japan entered the picture promi-
nently during the World war when
she seized German possessions in
Shantung and gained broad COM

her notorious II demands. At the
