Chinese Envoy Calls Japan
Public Enemy No. |
BULLETIN.
,, the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Dr. Hu
shih, Chinese Ambassador to the
United States, named Japan as
public enemy No. l among the
family of nations" in an address
last night before the Harmonic
Club. He said China is literally
bleeding to DEATH" but that it was
mot impossible for us to wear out
our enemy if we can only fight on
long enough.
THE final victory of China In
her war of resistance to the ag-
gressor must depend upon two
things: First, she must fight on,
and she has no choice but to fight
on; second, in her prolonged war,
the time may come when the in
ternational situation may turn in
her favor and against her enemy"
declared the Ambassador.
She does not expect any other
nation. however friendly and SYM
pathetic, to take up arms and fight
on her side. But she does expect.
and she has a right to expect, that
the sense of justice and the feeling
OF common humanity may vet be
strong enough to put stop
to the inhuman traffic of supplying
weapons of war to a nation
which I do not hesitate to name
~ public enemy No. l among the
family of nations"
In the 16 months of fighting, he
said, China has suffered 1000 900
casualties, including killed and
wounded, while 60,00O,O0O civilian
sufferers had been driven from their
home.

Third Term Talk =
Promises Pennsylvania
Support for Roosevelt
denomination :

~ the Associated Press.
Third-term talk received IN i'm
petus today from Senator Gudey,
Democrat, Of Pennsylvania, who de-
clared the Pennsylvania delegates
to the 1910 Democratic Convention
would back President Roosevelt for
denomination.
The one man to justify the Roose-
yelt record is Roosevelt" said Sen.
ator GufIey In statement. PENN
sylvania does not want and will not
have anything to do with any So
called middle Of the road candi-
dates.
THE issue will be the Liberal De-
mocracy Of Franklin D. Roosevelt
versus the camoufiaged Fascism Of
powerful financial and industrial in
terests masQuerading under the COL
ors Of the Republican party"
Senator Guf1ey's announcement
was given particular attention by
Capital politicians because OF the
important role he will have In Penn.
sylvania Democratic politics during
the next two years. As q result of
the Republican victory In the State
last month, he Is one of the few
Pennsylvania Democrats remaining
In a major elective ONCE.
Outspoken Roosevelt Supporter.
The Senator was not up for re-
election this year. since his term
does not expire until 1910. There
have been reports here that he has
his eye on the vice presidency, but
he has said nothing publicly Of his
own ambitions.
In the four years Senator Guffey
has been in the Senate he has been
an outspoken administration sup
porter. At the end of the Senate
fight over the Presidents court bill
last year he called for a purge" of
the Democrats who led the opposi-
ton.
OF all the prominent Democrats
who have expressed opinions for or
against third term for Mr.. Roose-
welt. Senator Guffey was about the
first to profess to speak for an en-
tire State delegation. Pennsylvania
has the second largest delegation in
Democratic conventions.
Assails Republican Committee.
The Pennsylvania Senator assailed
the Republican National Commit
tee. declaring that At its meeting
here last week a campaign was
launched ito again make Wall Street
the seat OF the Government"
A movement also is starting, he
asserted. to "re-establish industrial
serfdom' and saddle relief costs ION
the backs of the Nations employed
wage earners" He argued that
Mr.. Roosevelts denomination was
needed to block these aims.
Many who have been discussing
the third-term question have sug.
gested that the Presidents attitude
might depend on whether important
parts Of his social and economic
program remain unfinished at the
end OF his present term.
The general belief Is that Mr..
Roosevelt will keep silent on the sub
ject for many months.

When police sought Skobline for

De Miller's wife accused Soviet
