Deportotions Stir Up
Russo-Joponese Dispute

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Dec. 10-The japanese
foreign Office today disclosed a bit
ter dispute with Soviet Russia since
November 81 over the alleged de-
portation of SIS japanese workers
from the North Sakhalin oil fields.
A protest was lodged in Moscow.
whereafter Sakhalin authorities were
said to have been told to permit the
japanese to remain.
Local officials refused, however,
and were said to have demanded
that an additional 81 japanese be
withdrawn from the Northern island,
which is divided between Soviet
Russia and Japan.
A foreign Office statement charged
Russians blocked prospecting and
drilling operations in Japanese con-
cessions there which would be forced
to close down if the second group Of
workers was deported.

true of all the Republicans who were
Endorsed, or gave their own indorse-
ment to the old-age pension plans
of DR.. Townsend and other advo-
Gates of the perpetual motion idea
of money spending and taxation.
Take the case of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,. for
example. Mr.. Lodge, it is true,
was not a candidate for election
this year, but he took part in the
campaign which wound up with
the election of Republican Gov
ernor, Leverett Saltonstall-the first
Republican Governor in years. And
Mr.. Lodge has already stepped out
with a proposal that old-age PEN
sions amounting to $50 a month be
paid. He has not yet produced a
plan to finance these greatly in
creased old-age pensions-but he
has plenty of examples these days
of spending first and then trying
to raise money to pay later.
They're Squirming Now.
Take it by and large, the Re
publicans who obtained Townsend
support for denomination and re-
election are doing bit Of squirming
Generally speaking they gave the
old-age pensioners a promise to
see that their legislative proposals
should be taken up and considered
at least, without actually saying
they would vote for the proposals
They realize. however, that ifsthe
Townsend old-age pension bill, or
some similar measure, were brought
before the House, it would be a
tough job halting its onward march
And down in their hearts they be-
lieve that any such proposition
or even the proposal of Senator
Lodge to pay $50 month pensions
to the aged-would ruin the coun-
try. If it is not already ruined
The old-age pensioners are feel
ing their oats. They are in a posi-
ton to claim that it was through
their votes that G. o. P. members
of Congress and some few Demo-
Gratis were elected last month. A
great and effective lobby for in
creased old-age pensions is likely
to develop in the National Capital
in the next few weeks, lobby that
will make the soldiers bonus lobby
and the prohibition lobby of earlier
days look tame in comparison. Al.
ready members of the House anC
Senate are being polled for thell
views on increased pensions. Unles:

BACKING IN WAR.
New Plan Drafted to
Settle Czech Row
BY KINGSBURY SMITH

LONDON, Sept. l Q.N.S0.
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain today anxiously awaited a
reply from President Roosevelt on
whether Britain once again could
count on American support in the
event of a general European war.
At the same time, the hard
pressed British government, seek
ing desperately to prevent any
such conflict, formulated a new
plan for settlement of the danger
Gus Sudeten-Czech autonomy dis
pute-for use only if all current
peace moves fail.
REPLY AWAITED
Chamberlain, il was learned,
asked specifically what the atti-
tude of the United States would
be should Britain become involved
in a war with Germany.
The Prime Minister now Is
awaiting President Roosevelt'S
reply before definitely formulating
Britain's policy in the event that
Germany invadeS CzechoSlovakla
to settle the problem of the Sude-
ten autonomy demands by force
The British government has re
ceived information from Prague
that Czechoslovakia herself ex'
poets such an invasion shortly
after September Is, if the dispute
is not satisfactorily solved by that
date.
MAY STIFFEN POLICY
If Britain considers the awaited
reply from Washington "satiSfac-
tory" it is expected that London's
policy toward Germany will be
stiffened considerably.
Meanwhile, the British press Is
giving the utmost prominence to
the visits paid to Chamberlain
and British Foreign Secretary Wis
count Halifax by United States
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy.
Should the current negotiations
for settlement Of Nazi- Czech issue
fail, the new British plan will be
produced under sponsorship of Wis
count Runciman, British mediator
in Czechoslovakia. Details of this
plan are now a closely guarded
secret.
1t is believed certain points Of
this plan may even depend on the
answer that London receives from
Washington.
The Washington times., 1938-09-01

pscted to have marked effect on
how far Britain is pared to go
in its insistence to Chancellor Hit
Ter that Germany must not re-
sort to war to settle the Czech
crisis.
Britain also has brought up the
question of whether the johnson
act will remain in effect, closing
the doors to England obtaining
necessary loans and credits in this
country, should war grow out OF
the European crisis.
POWER HEADS MEET
At present, the johnson act is
automatic. 1t forbids any default
ing debtor nation obtaining loans
or floating loans in the United
States. Britain is Americas larg-
est war debtor, owing approx
mately $4,000, 100000, now in de-
fault.
President Roosevelt also turned
his attention toward girding the
United States internal defenses
for whatever events the future
may hold. He summoned large
group of power executives to the
White House for a conference to
reopen the question of closer knit
network Of power facilities linking
major cities.
The Sino7Japanese "undeclared"
war also became linked in the
Presidents general review of a
tense world situation as he con-
ferred earlier with Chinese Ambas-
Sador Dr.. Chengting T. Wang.
