Colonies Declared Unfair.
Previously the foreign Office spokes-
man declared that Asiatics can

existence throughout Africa and Asia
Of colonies of Western nations.
The statement was made following
q question as to the probable tenor
of Japan's reply to the United States
note of October demanding an end
OF japanese interference with Amer
lean trade in China. The spokesman
emphasized that he was not COM
menting on the note or a possible
reply and was expressing only per-
sonal opinion.
Your (American) Declaration of
Independence states that all men
are created equal" he said. This
sentiment is becoming very strong
among Asiatics.
Unacceptable to Asiatics.

cepted as fair treatment"
The spokesman's statement was in
line with Japan's Asia for the
Asiatics" program. He declined to
comment on the relation of German
and Italian colonies to this question,
and his statement was taken to
mean opposition to Western pene-
tration and influence in Asia.
Neither Germany nor Italy has
colonies in Asia. but Italy has an
African colonial empire.

Britain and Japan"
There was no indication the press
campaign had official inspiration,
but diplomatic circles noted it be-
gan after the capture of Canton
and during the final stages of the
HankoW drive.
Friction Believed Expected.
Some observers believed Japan
expects friction with the three pow
ers, Britain, France and the United
States, over their interests in China
and that the editorials were de-
signed to prepare the nation in ad-
vance.
The newspaper Miyako, without
specifying the United States note of
October 6 demanding that the door
to China be kept open for foreign
trade, said of foreign representations
generally that their demand for
equal opportunity and the open door
is extremely unreasonable.

New Finance Chief
Seeks Solution
To France
Reynoud Hoping to Have
Outline Of Program
BY Next Monday

PARIS, Nov. "A new French
finance minister began a flve-day
search for an orthodox solution to
the nations economic puzzle today
after the cabinet had strapped the
plan his predecessor had been work.
ing on for more than month.
Moderate, experienced, middle-of-
the road Paul Reynaud, who sue
ceeded Paul Marchandeau as finance
minister after a short-lived crisis
yesterday, cancelled all his engage
ments and declared he even would
refuse TO answer his telephone until
next Monday.
BY then he hopes to have the
devious pattern Of French finances
cleared up in his mind so he can
give the cabinet at least q general
outline Of his new program. Forty
day decree powers given Premier
Edouard Daladier's cabinet expire
November Is.
The sudden shift in cabinet posts
by which NJ Reynaud and M.
Marchandeau snapped jobs as JUS
tice and finance ministers resulted,
political observers said, from deep
seated differences over the nature
Of methods to be applied for financial
and economic recovery.
M. Marchandeau, formerly con-
sidered among the most orthodox
Of financial experts, had become
convinced, these observers said,
that only drastic measures includ-
ing exchange control, an extraor-
binary income tax and a special
levy on stock earnings would prove
successful.
M. Reynaud on the other hand was
said to have led q cabinet majority
in q fight for more conservative
measures which would increase gov
eminent revenue by stimulating
production.
M. Marchandeau was reported to
have refused to compromise, point
Ing out that similar steps had failed
three times in the past and that,
with the situation growing daily
worse, he saw no reason why they
should succeed this time.
Many financial observers agreed
M. Reynaud's theory might work if
production could be stimulated and
a stop-gap means found to improve
the governments credit in the mean
time.

cution. They were arrested over the
week end.
Victims in the two Brooklyn alb
auctions were Benjamin Farber, 80,
a coal dealer, and Norman Miller,
10, son of the head of a stevedore
concern.
Mr.. Hoover said the kidnapers
seized Mr.. Farber last April 10 in
front of a Brooklyn branch of the
National City bank and released him
unframed shortly after his family
paid $1,000 of $4,000 ransom de-
mand.
Young Miller, he said, was kid
mapped last July "a as he left a
Brooklyn theater and freed within
"a hours when the father paid the
gang $4,000. 1t was the youths
memory of his experience that en-
able Omen to trace the gang.
The Farber ransom, at the kid
napers' order, was tossed from the
Williamsburg Bridge at a desig-
mated spot, and the ransom for
young Miller. a student at Franklin
and Marshall College, at Lancaster,
Pa, was left in a garbage can in
downtown Manhattan.
Mr.. Hoover said the gang used as
their hideout a vacant store owned
by Gula near a lodge hall in lower
Manhattan.
The F.. B. I. head refused to name
other kidnapings in which the men
still were being questioned.
The chief case still confronting
the Omen is the disappearance of
Peter Levine, 12-year-old New Ro-
chelle schoolboy, whose headless
wire-trussed body was found float
ing in Long Island Sound three
months after he vanished last Feb
ruary "a on his way home from
school.
New Rochelle is suburban Wes-
chester County community near
White Plains, where Mr.. Fried was
seized as he left his apartment
home to drive to the residence of his
mother
Mr.. Hoover said the gang at first
intended to seize his brother, Hugo
whom they thought big shot.
After taking him to Sacoda's apart
ment, Mr.. Hoover continued, the
kidnapers forced Mr., Fried to write
note to his family asking 5000, 900
ransom.
When the money was not forth
coming in four days, Mr.. Hoover
said, Sacoda shot Mr.. Fried through
the head and he and Gula carried
the body to a car and drove it to
a fraternal organizations lodge
where Sacoda was employed as a
porter
They dragged the body to the
furnace and showed it in," Mr..
Hoover said.
Although Mr.. Hoover did not give
details on the capture of the three
men. he said young Miller's alert
memory had been a major factor in
locating the gangs hideout.
The youth, blindfolded after he
and Sidney Lehrer-a friend who
was later released to relay the ran
som demand-were hauled into the
kidnap car. noted the auto radio
was playing "A Tisket, a Tasket."
Federal agents learned what time
the tune was played by checking
radio stations and thus set the exact
time of the kidnapping. They also
established roughly the distance the
car travelled from Miller's estimate.

tenn were that it would cost 81,
100000 to rebuild the broken

to sell its ruined right Of way to

STRIKES FOR LACK OF
A ROAD TO PEACE
(Tulare Acknowledgment

(Tulare AdVance-Register)
For lack of a straightforward road to
peace, 10,267 strikes or lockouts blazed
up in 10 countries during 1887 and in
volved 4,223,994 workers.
For lack of up-to-date machinery for
arbitration, 0,755, ,454 working days were
lost. On the basis of siX-day week,
with annual ten-day vacations, this
means a loss of 167 500 working years.
For lack of essential state and FEEDER
al legislation, the United States took
rank as the worlds top-scorer, with
loss of over 2S000,000 working days
more than half the total for all the other
eighteen countries.
For lack of a stoppage, or an effective
labor relations policy, to stop this tragic
waste, $19,000000 in direct wages was
last by strikers in the United States dur
ing the first five months of 1888. This
covered a period of declining industrial
production when the worker and his boss
could least afford the squandering of
income, and jamming up of production.
For lack of shoe, the story goes a
horse was lost. But for lack of modern
arbitration machinery and wise labor
laws to expedite settlement of disputes,
to save workers enormous wage losses,
to minimize violence and spare commu-
mites the shameful terror of vigilante
action, there is no excuse. With an en-
ployment relations measure on the No
vember ballot, California indicates de-
termination to fill the worst of these
lacks.
The worlds high-scorer in industrial
productivity and efficiency, it is time
that America took surer grip on that
title and sought to avoid the needless
penalties inflicted by idling wheels and
idling hands.
