Cites Ford's Statements.
In connection with the anti-union
statement attributed to Mr.. Ford in
the press and elsewhere Mr.. Dudley
said:
THE newspaper statements At
tributed to Henry Ford go far beyond
the expression of opinion. They con-
stitute an expression of intent to vio-
late the law regardless of conse-
quences."
In tracing the development Of the
Liberty Legion, Mr.. Dudley said it was
founded in the Ford plant at River
Rouge in the summer and fall Of 1887,
its sponsors being q company superin-
tendent and municipal Judge whose
family was receiving about 100000
yearly from q lunch concession in the
Ford plants. 1t appeared in the st.
Louis plant in November, 1887, at the
time of the strike and listed among
its members the plant foremen, as
sistant foremen and personnel man

In his recommendation for disestab-
lishment the examiner proposed that
the order be applicable not only for
the st. Louis branch OF the Legion,
but for its national organization.
The recommendations follow hear

king, Changsha, Yehang, Hankow and
even Tsingtao, removing thousands OF
Japanese.
They had to quit places where they
had lived for many years.. abandoning
vested interests as well as accumulated
fortunes. Naturally there was strong
resentment and criticism of the gov
ernment by the people directly and
indirectly concerned. But the govern
ment firmly resolved that no stone
should be left unturned to avoid
spreading the unhappy clash between
the two forces in North China.
Indeed it was not until after more
than a month that the japanese gov
ernment finally realized that younger
officers in the Chinese armies, who
had long been educated and trained
in anti-Japanism, were firmly deter
mined to fight Japan and were de-
.iberately working toward that pur-
pose. Only then did Japan reluctant
ly. but at the same time resolutely,
decide to accept the inevitable
Thus we see that the fundamental
causes for the hostilities lie in the
systematically organized education in
anti-Japanism. both in the Chinese
armies and schools as well as among
the general populace for many years.
We take strong exception to the ma
licious methods of the Kuomintang
(Chinese government party) govern
ment, which, under the leadership of
Chang Kai-shek. singled out one par
ticular nation for the target of it's
anti-foreignism. We believe no nation
in the world could have tolerated
such a situation.
We are not fighting, however, with
the Chinese people. Our conflict is
with their leaders. civil and military,
who have been assiduously inspiring
the people with a hatred for japanese
during the last 10 years. We are firm
ly convinced that unless we uproot this

But we cannot hope for the tenn

ence.
We cannot stop midway to seek
peace. If we should do so pfior to
the attainment Of the object for which
we are putting up resistance, it will
mean the subjugation OF our nation
and annihiliation Of our race.
Never in history has any nation
worthy Of the name survived without
sacrifice, or enjoyed peace without a
struggle. It is to survive as a nation
and to guarantee peace for our people
and the generations of Chinese which
are to come that we are struggling and
will continue to struggle.

ferred to Mr.. Taylor as "the personal
representative Of the great humanita-
r1an who caused this meeting to be
called, President Franklin Roosevelt"
Mr.. Taylor, who at first declined to
accept the presidency, yielded to the
insistence of other delegations that he
take the post on behalf OF the United

slider the plight of refugees

BRITAIN
TO BACK CzECHS

PARIS, May II Q.N.S0.
France and Great Britain today
were represented as absolutely
resolved" not to permit in Czecho-
slovakia a duplication of the Ger
man invasion of Austria.
The French government, it was
said, was "gravely concerned
over tension between Germany
and Czechoslovakia, and it was
realized here the situation is ex-
tremely dangerous.
Frances main hope was that
the firm attitude of Britain, Rus
Sia and France herself, who de.
clared diSmemberment of Czecho-
Slovakia would not be tolerated,
might prevent the outbreak of a
new European war.
So far there has been no official
declaration, but Frances state
ment that she stands by her alli-
ance with Czechoslovakia, which
calls for French military action in
the event Czechoslovakia is in
Vaded, still holds good.
Moreover, France is mindful of
the British statement which fol-
lowed the recent sealing Of Anglo.
French military ties, that Britain
while unwilling to plan Czech de-
fense in advance-will remember
her obligations to France"
