Further Charges

The United States ther
charges:
Control of foreign exchange
transactions gives control of
trade and commercial enter
prise, and the exercise, either
directly or indirectly, by the
Japanese authorities Of control
of exchange in North China
would place those authorities in
a position to thwart equality of
opportunity or free competition
between Japan and the United
States in that area"
Japan was accused of taking
arbitrary and illegal assumption
of authority for which the Japa
nese government has an inescap
able responsibilities" in alterini
Chinese customs tariffs.
Nippon also was charged witt
establishing monopolieS in thI
wool and tobacco trade in Nortl

In calling Creighton to the
stand, Dies again explored the
Michigan situation while Governor
Murphy is fighting for reelection.
1t was testimony regarding Gov
ernor Murphy that caused Presi-
dent Roosevelt to assert that the
committee was being used for
political purposes.
Creighton, in a diSpaSSionate
manner, described how the down
town streets of Lansing we're
blocked after Lester Washburn,
UAW official, led strike in pro
test against the arrest of pickets,
who had been enjoined from In
nonstrikerS into enter
ing a factory and had, he said,
been cited for contempt Of court.
He described how Governor
Murphy came to the steps Of the
capitol and addressed the throng.
Referring to bis story at the time,
he said that Governor Murphy
said that he wished to guarantee
civil rights and added that "thiS
Government must protect you
from arbitrary and dictatorial
judgment"
"The arbitrary and dictatorial
judgment which the governor
said h would protect them from
were the injunctionS Of Circuit
Judge CARR" asked Dies.
"I think it would be reason
able to assume that that was
what he referred to-" answered
the witness.

Instead of the monthly quota of
1000 which has been in effect
throughout the Arab rebellion, the
six months figure was set at
1870, and potential immigrants
were carefully classified.
NO PARTITION
Zionist circles saw in the new
limitation indication that the
British government, having aban-
doned the idea of partitioning the
Holy Land. intends to restrict
Jewish immigration to the level
advocated by the Peel Commission.
Most of the persons to be
admitted in the forthcoming half
year, it was specified, however,
will be Jews. The new quota was
described as conforming to the
political high level" rather than
extending to the "abSorbtive
capacity of Palestine, as de-
manded by the Jews.

To be admitted during the next
