 Toyko, Oct. 28.-(Up)-Japan has protested to France against the transportation of war materials to China through Indo-C China and has warned that she might take such measures as she felt necessary un- less the supply was closed. the foreign office disclosed. A foreign office spokesman said that Yo- tara Sugimura, ambassador at Paris, had been instructed to make the protest. He was told, in pro- testing against the continued trans portation of war materials through
 Branch Indo-C China, to ask the French government to take effec- time measures to prevent such transport e
 Further, the spokesman said, sugi- yiura was instructed to say:
 "In case the French government fails to take such measures Japan might be compelled in self defense to take such measures as she deems necessary"
 Important to Japan
 The supply line to China through French Indo-C China is of increased importance to Japan since the clos- ure of the Hong Kong Canton route. Supplies SO from Haiphong, on the Indo-C China coast, by railroad into Yunnan Province in China.
 If the Indo China line were sev. cred, China would have to depend for any foreign materials the over- land routes from British Burma into Yunnan and the long route from Soviet Russia through remote Sin kiang province.
 A foreign office spokesman who commented on United States note protesting against the present trade situation In China said that the nine power treaty governing policy of the great powers must be revised in view of the many changes in China.

ALLOW CREDITS
 TO EMPLOYERS
Voluntary Contributions to Unemployment Benefit
 Fund Credited

Hartford, Oct. 2S - Seeking to clarity a provision of the unem- ployment compensation law which is confusing employers and account- ants in Connecticut, Labor Com- missioner Joseph M. Tone today ex- plained that employers who "volun- farily" become subject to the law may credit 90 per cent of their con- tributions to the state fund against the tax imposed by Title TX of the federal Social Security Act.
 MT, Tone said that there is evi- dent confusion between the status of the employer, not subject to the law, who voluntarily" accepts 1t to protect his employees, and the status of the employer who is already sub- feet but makes @ voluntary" or "ex- cess" contribution which is not re- uuired in order to help his reserve account and thus reduce his rate of contribution after l040.
 The employer, he explained, who becomes subject through his own yolition is then required to make contributions, and required" con- tributions may be credited against the federal Title TX tax.
 on the other hand, the employer who is now subject and makes an "excess" contribution to aid his re- serve account is not making a "re- uuired" contribution and may not credit the excess against the Title TX tax, inasmuch as the only contri- buttons which may be credited against 1t are those of g required nature.
 Many inquiries revealing Q wide- spread misunderstanding of these provisions of the law, have come to the labor department in recent weeks, Commissioner Tone said.

relations with China-France. The communique deals with China's irn- portation of goods, particularly war munitions, through French Indo- China and it was reported that France had promised to prevent shipments of war materials.
 (If the Japanese succeeded in closing the Indo-C China route to China, as they have closed the Hong Kong route by their capture of Cam ton, they would still have to bottle up the routes from British Burma and Soviet Russia.-Ed)
 The United States note was re- leased to morning papers of Japan today.
 Note Gets Little Attention
 It received little attention be- cause of the public celebration of the occupation of Hankow.
 It was forecast that the govern ment, when 1t did deply to the American note, would emphasize the changes in China and the fact that Japan and China are at war to explain conditions of which the United States government com- plained.
 As part of its argument, Japan was expected to say that the open door policy, based on the former status in the Far East, should be considered out dated because of present conditions. However, the government has not admitted that there has been actual discrimination against foreign countries in China.
 Nine Power Treaty
 The rline-power treaty mentioned by the foreign office spokesman has long been regarded by the Japan csc government as outdated. It was signed during the Washington naval disarmament conference in l92i-22 by the United States, Great Britain, Belgium, China, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Portugal. It was intended to be Q sort of new charter for China. It pledged its signatories anew to main- tain the open door policy in China, involving free access of all the na- tions to Chinese markets, and to respect the sovereignty, independ- ence and territorial and administra- tive integrity of China.

for military planes. England therefore has no intention of seeing this important little country fall into the hands of Mtissolini or Hit Ter. England will stick, regardless of the cost.
 Tn the meantime, 1t is employing 18,000 troops, 5000 police and inc creasing numbers of fighter and bombing planes to put down the Arab terror. as r
 At one time the English thought they had found Q solution in the report of the Peel commission which recommended a compara- lively small all Jewish state, Q bigger all Arab state, with the English holding the mandate for the holy cities of Jerusalem and Bethlehem and e corridor to the seq. Neither the Jews nor the Arabs were satisfied with this scheme. There have been rlmors that the British cabinet is now considering an even more drastic solution which would be very much in favor of the Arabs. The very runor of 1t has aroused the Amer ican government to make pointed inquiries to Britain, as the United States Is 6 sort of disinterested party to the mandate. Besides, American money has poured into Palestine to help the zionists.
 Zionist Jews are standing pat on the Balfour promise. They say they need Palestine more than ever, because of the persecution of their co-religionists in Ger. many and Italy, with only q lesser persecution in other European The rest of the argument runs thus:
 The Arabs: England has brok- on its promise to us about Pales- tine."
 The Jews: England as Q state, made the promise to the Jews. Only some army officers, without backing of their government, made the promise to the Arabs. The war, which broke Turkey, has given the Arabs Irak, Arabia and Transjordan - lands enormously larger and richer in resources than little Palestine"
 The Arabs: "The Jews, with their money, are buying the choice lands and making Arabs poor and land- less" fHt
 The Jews: ''Fifty-three per cent of the 320,000 acres we hold have been bought from absentee land- lords and 26 per cent from rich Arab landholders. Much of the land we got was barren and was made fertile only by our labor" The Arab: "Even with immigra- ton of Jews restricted partially, the Arab majority is apt to be swamped, and become 6 minority"
 The Jews: Tn 1918 there were in Palestine 55.000 Jews and 500,- 900 Arabs. Today there are 400,- 900 Jews and 900,000 Arabs. By our labor and by our modern methods we have shown how things can be done. Tn spite of the vast areas in other Arab lands, Arabs have moved into, Palestine in swarnis, having learned their agricultural and industrial les- sons from us. In 1918 there were

DRUNKEN TRAMP TURNS
OUT TO BE AN OFFICER

When is an inebriated tramp not
an inebriated tramp? The answer
in this case is when he is a police
officer" Such was the case the early
part of last week when still manu-
featuring illicit liquor was discovered
near Woodlawn, Md. The plant lat
er was taken and destroyed by the
police and the internal revenue agents.
Two men, one of them negro, both
armed with guns, escaped by SWIM
ming stream and running into a
nearby wood. A third man, another
negro, was captured.
The wolf in sleeps clothing, or
as applies in this story, the officer in
hobo's regalia, paid his first visit to
the still early Sunday morning. The
location was a deserted farm house
near Granite.
The policemtn posed as a drunk
and managed to get drink from
negro who was watching the plant.
He then left the still and wandered
through the woods to report his find
ings to the agents. It then was a.
greed that the officer should return
to the still in the afternoon and buy
bottle of liquor and then signal the
raiding party by several toots on his
whistle. However, when he returned
he saw that two other men had joined
the negro watchman. Both of these
nlen, who were. the two who escaped
by the stream, were armed, one with
a pistol and tn other with shotgun.
The liquor was bought, but the of
ficer didn't think much of the plan
of signalling the agents. He went
back into the woods and Joined his
confederates, and the group then be-
gan to close in on the still and it's
attendants. The three men at the
plant then began to flee.
The still had capacity of 1000
gallons. There was also on hand
about 1,50O gallons of alcohol and
| 1000 gallons of mash. Later the raid
ing party seized an automobile that
had been filled with gallon cans con-
tanning alcohol.
The name of the officer who dis
guised himself in order to get the
goods on the still owners was not re-
leased by the police.

FIRST AID SAVES MAN
FROM SNAKE POISON

Prompt first aid on the part of his
wife probably saved the life of John
Taylor, farmer living in the Frank
ford, Del, section after he was bitten
on the hand by a copperhead snake
while working in his sweet potato
beds.
Taylor did not see the snake until
it had bitten him. Immediately he
got hoe and killed the reptile, went
to the house and told his Nife who
placed a turniquet about the arm.
Then they hastened to the office of
DR.. Carleton C. Fooks at Frankford.
An incision was made by the physi-
clan allowing the blood to flow from
the wound freshly. Taylor's hand and
arm were badly swollen from the bite
and the turniquet and caused much
pain. No serious results are antici-
pated.
Taylor is said to be the fourth
person bitten by copperhead with
in the past 20 years in lower Della
ware, and the second within the past
three years. None of them proved
fatal.
