While the fate of Europe rested
upon Czechoslovakia's willingness
to bow to Reichsfuehrer Hitler's
demand that the Sudetenland be
completely evacuated by Czech
troops by October /, here were the
new known facts regarding the
situation from the little country
where war will be fought if there
is one:

A flying field of power boats,

droplane for the John Charles
Thomas Trophy. Half a dozen
boats already ride anchor off the
pits this morning, and the
chances are that this number will
be augmented by at least four
more late arrivals. The hurricane
that swept the North on Wednes-
day, playing havoc with transpor-
tation schedules, has delayed
some competitors and caused
others to withdraw from the re-
gatta.
Foremost among the competitors
today will be Jack Cooper Of Kan
SaS City, whose son, Tom, ruled
the waters in the professional out
beard races yesterday. Jack. who
holds the william Randolph

Dual Citizenship Problem
Is Intensified by the
War in China
By wendell BURCH
United Press Staff Correspondent

HONOLULU, Jan. Is. (UP)-
The Sino-Japancsc war, questions
of Japanese dual citizenship and
mainland store cessation of Jap
ancsc purchases arc having cXtcn-
sivc repcrcuSsions in Hawaii.
Attached TO Nippon by racial
and reii ,ious ties, the 10000
Japanese in the territory, includ-
ing nearly 10000 aliens, rejoice

China.
Chinese rcSolutcly maintain
faith in their forces, and have
struggled to obtain from their
colony Of some 10000 members
funds to match Japanese dona-
tions being sent to Tokyo. The
Chinese also actively support an
ti-Japanese boycOttS, according to
some sources.
SURPRISED BY BOYCOTT
Mainland boycOtts by union Ia
Dor and other groups OF japanese
products caused Japanese amaze
mcnt and concern. Many Japanese
business men privately have OK
pressed surprise at American
views, protesting that such action
is not Understandable In relation
to other Japancse-Amcrican ties.
In the background of the lla-
waiian reaction to the Sino-Jap-
ancsc conflict is the dual citizen
ship issue. During the October
visit of special congressional
party investigating Hawaii's fit
ness for statehood, the principal
controversial question raised con-
cerned dual allegiance of many
Hawaiian born Japanese, who re
tain American and Japanese citl-
zenship through special laws.
The number of duel citizens
born in Hawaii is not definitely
known. All children born i'll the
territory before 1924 supposedly
were registered with Japanese
consular authorities, and automat-
ically assumed the dual status.
Many were not registered, now
ever, some have eXpatliated
themselves from Japan since
birth, others have left the terri
tory, and a large number are I'M
certain concerning their status.

David T. Lilienthal, IVA director,
today characterized as a radical
scheme" the proposal of Wendell

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. Is. (UP)
Southern public officials and utlll-

possible effects of a proposal that

Some state and city officials

in expressing hearty agreement
with the proposal made by Wen

Southern president. Many refused
comment.
A counter-proposal came from
Leon Jourolmon, Jr., Tennessee
state utilities commissioner who
suggested that communities served
by the Tennessee Electric Power
Co., A c & S subsidiary, combine
in buying the entire plant system
of the company.
with such a program they
could issue joint bonds upon the
property purchased and the even
tuai fulflment of the public pow
CT program Of Tennessee would
be brought much closer to its con-
summation" he said.
Jourolmon explained that T. f.
