DENY DISCLOSURES
LINKED WITH NOTE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. (UP)
Former Ambassador-at-large Nor
man H. Davis reported to the
United States government a year
ago that the Brussels conference
on the Sino-Japanese war served
notice that any settlement must
conform to the nine-power treaty
guaranteeing China's political and
territorial integrity, the state de-
partment disclosed last night.
Davis also reported that the
conference served notice that the
settlement must be satisfactory
to the conference powers" de-
spite Japan's apparent defiance
of the other powers in her deal
inb,s with China.
-.tssssfAe disclosure wars made in a
publication of documents of the
conference, including Davis sum-
nation of achievements which
were branded as nil when the as
sembly adjourned November "a,
1927.
State department officials in
sisted there was no significance
in publishing the documents at
this time-immediately after ia
pan served notice of intentions
to form an economic, political and
cultural bloc of herself, Manchu-
kuo and China; and while the
United States awaited an official
Japanese reply to a note demand
ing action to terminate discrimi-
nations against American trade in
contravention of the open door
policy in China.
Japan and Germany did not
participate in the Brussels meet
ing. The third partner in the
Rome Berlin Tokyo axis, Italy,
voted against resolution con-
demning the japanese aggression.
The nine-power treaty, signed
in Washington February 1, 1922,
pledged the nations to guarantee
the political and territorial integ-
rity of China. Signatories were
the United States, Belgium, Brit
ain, China, France, Italy, Japan,
the Netherlands and Portugal. The
Brussels conference was convok-
ed in pursuance of the terms of
the treaty. Japan, contending the
meeting was, in effect, fostered
by League of Nations resolution
condemning her conflict with Chi
ma and not recognizing the merits
of the japanese case, refused to
send delegates.
Davis listed as the outstanding
achievements of the conference:
/. Exchanging of views among
10 governments, enabling the del
egates of each-and through them
their governments - to obtain
knowledge of the attitude and
position of the Others"
2. Demonstration of the un-
willingness of Japan to resort to

Slovak Premier Warns of
Control Given Hungary
Over Nationals
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
Copyright, 1888, United Press)

LONDON, Nov. 4. (UP)-The
dismemberment of Czechoslovakia,
agreed to by Britain and France
to preserve peace, actually has ag-
gravated and stimulated the war
pregnant minorities problem in
crowded southeastern Europe, de-
velopments today indicated.
The seeds of eventual war were
fortified and multiplied instead
of stamped out, neutral observers
of the recent crisis agree after
watching the month of rapid de-
velopments since Munich. In Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia and shrunken
Czechoslovakia there were signif-
lean indications today that the
situation in the Balkans is ex-
tremely dangerous.
A straw in the wind was last
nights radiocast by Josef Tiso,
Slovak premier, commenting Bit
terly on the cession to Hungary
of large part of his country, on
orders of Germany and Italy. He
said: "After the latest border de-
limitations 20 per cent of the Slo-
vaks are obliged to live in Hun
gary. Borders may divide us, but
the nation nevertheless will re-
main united in thought and that
is a guaranty that the Slovak ma
ton will endure" :"
/ He said that the territory ceded
to Hungary would remain a "his-
torical part of Slovakia" and as
serted, 1--WE are the victims of in
justice"
King Carol of Rumania, now
autocrat of a 900 per cent totali.
tartan" nation, is greatly worried
by the precedent set in Czecho-
slovakia, especially by the arbi-
trary action of Germany and Italy
at Vienna in granting most of
Hungary's minority claims. He
fears that Hungary now will seek
revision of Transylvania's terri
torial status on an chronological
basis, and in this region of Ru-
mania are 100000 Hungarians
far more than lived in Slovakia.
So Carol invited Prince Paul,
regent of neighboring Yugoslavia,
to a hunting party. Paul was en-
route to visit Carol today and in
formed political quarters said
Carol was certain to request
Yugoslavia's help in obtaining for
Rumania closer and more friend
ly relations with Berlin and Rome
where resides the deciding in
fluence in post-Munich southeast
ern Europe.
Yugoslavia, enjoying good rela-
tions with Berlin and Rome and
possessing within her borders on
ly an insignificant Hungarian MI
nority, was expected to oppose
further territorial changes as a
matter of principle and to willing
ly lend good offices to bring
about rapprochement between Ru-
mania and the Rome-Berlin axis.
Carol needs such an intercessor,
for although Rumania now is to-
talitarian, it is far from Nazi or
Fascist. The leader of Rumania's
outlawed Fascist "iron guards, Z"
as a matter of fact, is serving a
10-year Jail sentence. All power
in Rumania now rests in Carol
himself, who just a few years ago
was regarded with reason as a
mere playboy. And Rumania has
