TINE Congress knows that for

many governments to find q way
to limit and reduce armaments and
to establish at least the probable

The Congress Is aware, also, that

continue and will continue, they
have nevertheless failed up to the

We. as a peaceful Nation, cannot

aggression. But it is clear that
until such agreement is reached

We are compelled to think of our

Senator Burke told of occasions on

clared he was quizzed by board at

connection between the publication
and the Ford Motor Co., or the Fore;

Mr.. Moore said the attorney called
at his Office. The affidavit claimed
the attorney showed a biased atti-
tude and tried to bring out some con-
nection with tine Ford company.

The editor said when he inquired
who his visitor was, the attorney pro-
duced subpoena directing him u
bring all his records to hearing OH

Mr.. Moore added that he persuaded

nection as he had asked about. and
the attorney withdrew the subpoena

the Labor Board some time ago III
issuing subpoena for the editor OF
Mill and Factory after an article in

SHANGHAI. Jan. ga japanese
military spokesman declared today the
japanese sentry who slapped the face
OF John M. Allison. ranking United
States diplomat at Marking, was only
doing his duty" and would not be pun
ished.
He added that any one disobeying
orders Of japanese sentry could be
shot, and said that an apology ten
cered to Allison merely was gesture
Of courtesy"
Earlier the Japanese spokesman had
said Allison. third secretary in charge
of the United States Embassy, had
adopted what japanese regarded as
an ''insolent attitude" and that Japa-
nese authorities were taking a serious
view of his actions.
Asked to give specific instances Of
what he considered "insolence" on Al
lison's part. the spokesman asserted .
japanese military policeman attempt
ed to ride on the running board Of
Allison's automobile on January Is
and Allison tried to put him OF, call
ing him "an imbecile."
The japanese Embassy spokesman
gave this version OF the incident We'd
nesday in which the Japanese soldier
struck Allison:
Allison. Charles H. Riggs (another
American), japanese consular police,
a Chinese woman and two Chinese
men went to building used as q
Japanese barracks on the trail of a
man involved in an attack on a wom-
an at the University of Marking.
Allison and Riggs refused to obey the
sentry's command to halt and At
tempted to push their way into the
courtyard, whereupon the sentry
slapped both Of them.
Japan's acting Ambassador to
China. Shinrokuro Hidaka, arranged
to spend three days in Marking in
vestigating the situation, presumably
as a result of the United States Gov
ernment's strong protest to Toxic
against japanese treatment of Amer
ican citizens and property.
Two high ranking japanese staff
officers were said to be flying from
Toxic to Marking to aid In the in
vestigation.
British Consul General Herbert
Phillips presented to the japanese con-

MORE RELIEF HERE
IS URGED IN HOUSE
Californian Asks Substantial
Boost in Direct Aid Rather
Than Cut.
BY JAMES F.. CHINN.

A vigorous plea for substantial
increase in direct relief funds for
Washington's unemployed was made
to the House today by Representative
Voorhis. Democrat, of California as
debate opened on the 1899 District
appropriation bill
Calling attention to the Appro-
priations Committees recommended
ton for 100000 for public assistance
in the coming fiscal year, a reduction
of s436,000 under the current appro-
priation. Mr. Voorhis declared.
There are now literally hundreds
and hundreds of people in the Dis
trict who are unable to get any as
sistance whatever. Some considera-
ton ought to be given to the standard
OF life in the District, our Nations
Capital. An accumulation of evidence
shows this is not being done"
Mr.. Voorhis pointed out there are
$1,000 unemployed persons in Wash
ington. and on the basis Of the 100000
appropriation for public assistance,
the sum would provide only $50 year
per family And that's not enough
he declared.
Chairman Collins of the House Sub
committee on Appropriations explained
direct relief cases in December were
556 less than in July last year.
Mr.. Voorhis also denounced the Ap-
preparation Committees proposal to
abandon the National Training School
for Girls and the transfer of its in
mates to the women's penal colony at
Occoquan. Va. and to place the Chill
dren's Receiving Home under the Po-
lice Department.
Eliminate Stool Pigeons.
American civilization ought to rest
on a higher plane than that" he de-
clared. Just because a certain agency
does not function properly. there is no
justification for cutting of its appro-
priations'
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
OF Indiana, a member of the House
District Committee, interrupted to
point out that the bill proposed tc
increase the Police Departments ap-
preparation from $4,000 to $4,000 tc
enable Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown
to employ more men for "undercover'
work.
This bill proposes to appropriate
$4,000 to pay stool pigeons" Mr.
Schultz declared. That's the lowest
form of degeneracy. Take it away
from the Police Department and give
it to the needy children"
Meanwhile. a group of House mem.
bers. headed by Representative Gam
brill. Democrat, of Maryland, planned
to make a vigorous fight on the floor
for inclusion in the 1899 District ap.
preparation bill of a $65O,O0O item
for beginning replacement of the

the Anacostia River.

Roosevelt Desires
Young Successor,

President Roosevelt would like
younger man than he to follow
MIN in the White House to meet
the problems which would arise
from the worldwide war crisis
he looks for in 1889 or 1910. H.
G. Wells reports in the current
issue Of Golfers Magazine.
Mr.. Wells, the British author,
who interviewed the President in
December at the White House,
writes:
We glanced at the possibility
Of a successor, but he did not
seem to have any particular sue
cessor or type of successor in
mind. We agreed that the danger
of a worldwide war crisis would
rise toward a maximum between
1899 and 1910. and he thought
that by that time there should be
some one younger. quicker and
better equipped to meet the ur-
gencies of possible warfare with
out delay. in the White House.
But he spoke Of that rather as
his own personal problem than as

VIENNA, Jan. 28.-The tightening

Gen. John Metaxas In Greece with
the arrest and internment of his prin-

today in private advices from Athens.
They said the virtual dictatorship
established by the premier in 1886 had
been more severe for some time, and
that all former leaders of Parliament
dissolved in 1936-had been seized and
sent to remote Greek islands.
Announcement in the controlled

Gen. Metaxas had moved to make his
power absolute.
Severity without pity will operate

The Athens dispatches indicated the
situation came to a head after oppo-

and other domestic policies and calling
on the people to demand recovery Of
their sovereign rights.
Among those interned were listed
