DR.. CHEN SEES
LONG CONFLICT
Opposes Japanese Speaker
in Presenting Crisis to
G. w. u. Club.

The scene Of the war in China
shifted to the forum last night as
representatives OF the two warning
nations each pleaded his country's S
case before George Washington Uni
versity freshmen and guests in Cor
coran Hail.
DR.. Tuanshen Chen of National
Central University at Nanking, China,
attributed japanese aggression to op-
position to development of a unified
independent China and predicted the
war will be Of long duration unless
other powers actively intervene,
which, he added, Is unlikely.
1t is "wistful thinking" to hope for
any aid through dEcontent stirred up
in Japan by Japanese liberals, he went
on, because the liberals in Japan
lack political courage"
Fears Results Of War.
The Chinese speaker warned that
If China is forced to fight the war
out alone and is victorious, she is
likely to emerge cynical and un-
social nation, disposed to value mill
tary power"
Taking the platform in defense OF
Nippon, DR.. Toshiro Shimanouchi of
the Foreign Affairs Association of
Japan depicted Japan as long suf-
fering and reluctantly pushed into
hostilities by a deliberate and re-
lentless anti-Japanese campaign.
This campaign, he said, did not
originate with the people OF China,
but with the Nanking government as
. political move to rally support in
China and was further encouraged
by the Communists.
Citing great population pressure, he
depicted his country as "harassed on
the one side by China In a state of
internal disorder and on the other by
militant Soviet Republic" and ex-
pressed the hope that the influence
OF communism and anti-Japanism will
be brought under control.
Written Questions Offered.
Following the speeches, written oues-
tions were submitted to the speakers
by the audience.
In response to a question whether
Japan is seeking political unity with
China. DR.. Shimanouchi replied with
negative, and added that 1T takes a
Chinese to rule his own country"
Has Japan any. desire to conquer
the Phtlippines?" he was asked.
Ridiculous" he responded.
Asked how American youth SYM
pathetic to the Chinese cause can
take steps against Japan. DR.. Chen
expressed appreciation for the SYM
pathy. but said he was not in 4
position to advise the youth Of this
country.
The speakers were introduced by
Erma Silman. secretary of the Fresh
man Club. The forum was arranged
by Eugene Lerner.

Relief
Continued From First Page }

continue to provide relief and work
relief as authorized In the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act OF 1887, and
subject to all the provisions thereof,
$3.50, 900 900, which amount shall be
added to. and proportionately in
crease the specified amounts Of the
limitations prescribed under the ap-
preparation made In such act $50
Stat 352).
According to the best estimate
available at this time. 1t appears that,
during the past three months, ap-
proximately three million persons
have lost their jobs with private en-
ployers.
Increase in Unemployment.
This increase in unemployment
could not, Of course. have been FORE
seen at the time the last relief ap-
preparation was under consideration.
Hundreds Of thousands Of needy un-
employed persons have recently ap-
piled for relief work, which could not
be provided for them with the funds
on hand. 1t has become increasing
ly clear that these needs cannot
be met unless employment by the
Works Progress Administration is in
creased Immediately.
The funds available on January I,
1888, would permit employment of an
average Of only 100000 persons for
the six months ending June 80. 1898.
The number of persons on the Works
Progress Administration rolls today is
1,950,000. Funds available at this
time will not only not take care Of the
additional burden caused by the recent
increase in unemployment, but will
require sharp reduction in the near
future Of the number on the Works
Progress Administration rolls. This
estimate Of s25000O,00O will permit
the continued employment for the next
five months Of the number now on
such rolls and will provide a reason
able measure Of relief for those who
have recently become unemployed and
are in need.
Fights on Methods Hinted.
The request for the $25o.0oo. 900
may stiffen opposition to present
methods Of aiding the unemployed,
some congressional leaders said today.
Although they expressed little doubt
Congress would grant the additional
money. they said the request would
be recalled during later debates on
relief.
The crux of the argument is the
Woodrum amendment, which requires
the Works Progress Administration
to spread its present $l,5O0, ,000, 900
throughout the present fiscal year,
ending June 80.
Comment Of Republican.
Representative Taber of New York,
ranking Republican on the House Ap-
priations Committee, said a request
for more money now would indicate
that the law to spread the relief
money over the year hasn't been OBJ
served"
Representative Cochran. Democrat,
of Missouri has proposed repeal of
this limitation on the ground that the
unemployment situation has changed
since 1t was voted last spring
If the special relief fund is voted,
Senator Austin, Republican, Of Ver-
mont, said, the administration should,
at least, encourage an expression Of
policy indicating that relief will be
administered by local agencies in the
future"
Senator Brynes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, said the findings Of his spe-
cial unemployment committee might
provide ammunition for a debate on
relief methods.

BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 10.-Argen-

given wide attention to the recent
South Atlantic flight Of Bruno Mus

Many North American business men

as United States diplomats, have
thought friendly visit Of United
