Russo-Japanese PACT
Seen Blow 10 u. ).
Position in East
kon-Ageression Accord
Also Would Affect
War in China
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Sept. 16.-An armis-
tice today in the Far Eastern fight
ing between Soviet Russia and
japan was stipulated in an agree
ment which diplomatic quarters saw
as forshadowing possible non
aggression pact between those ira
ditional enemies.
Moscow observers said the
be blow to the British position
in East Asia and possibly to Far
Eastern interests of the United
States.
1t would have an even greater
effect on the Japanese campaign in
China. Russia has given more or
less open material aid to General
issimo Chang Kai-shek in his fight
against Japan.
Throughout the Japanese-Chinese
conflict reliable sources have re-
ported that the flower of Japans
military forces have been concen-
trated in Manchukuo in readiness
for any major move by the Soviet
Union in the region.
Germany Urged Pact.
A reconciliation between Moscow
and Toxic has been one of Ger
many's aims since the Soviet-Ger-
man pact was signed and would con-
stitute a diplomatic triumph for
Adolf Hitler.
Nazi officials have been strenu-
ously active trying to stave off what
they feared were British efforts to
reach an understanding with Japan.
The official Soviet news agency
Tass, said the armistice, announced
last night, would go into effect at
2 pm. 6 am, E. S. T) today.
Military forces of the two powers,
who have been fighting intermit-
tently for four months on the from
tier of Sovietized Outer Mongolia
and Japanese dominated Manchu-
kuo. would maintain positions which
they held at l pm. yesterday.
The armistice eliminated nego-
tiations started not long after Soviet
Russia on August "a signed a non
aggression pact with Germany, ia
pans partner in the anti-comin-
tern agreement The discussions of
long troubled Soviet-Japanese re-
lations were carried out by Premier
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslaff
Molotoff and japanese Ambassador
Shigenori Togo.
The most recent hostilities on the
Manchukuo frontier started May IL.
and at times reached great intensity
as aerial and mechanical forces
were brought into play. The out
break was only one, however, of a
series of difficulties the two nations
have had along 1000 miles of their
twisting frontier in the Far East.
The Tass announcement said
commission of two Soviet -Mongolian
and two e-Manchukuan rep
resentatives would be organized "at
the earliest possible date" to deter
mine the boundary.
Within a few hours after an
named new Ambassador to Japan,
Constantin Smetanin, who had
served as charge d'affaires in Toxic
since June 5, 1888, when former Am
basasdor Mikhail Mikhailovitch
Slavutsky returned to Moscow.
A japanese communique an
nouncing the armistice said pris-
oners and dead of the four month
conflict would be exchanged while
arrangements are completed to
establish the exact Manchukuo-
Mongolia boundary.
The army section of the Japanese
imperial headquarters declared both
sides had suffered considerable
damage during an outburst of bit

lection from approximately 1,500, 600
workers, greatly weaken" admins
tration of the act and add several
million dollars a year" to enforce
ment costs.
Exemptions proposed in the Bar

whole series of industrial opera
tions performed on agricultural
products from the time they have
left the farm and entered CONNER

Forester Expected Back
In Donziq This Week

FREE CITY OF DANZIG, July
Is LP).-Boys and girls in Nazi Or
ganizations marched and sang In
the Free City's old streets tonight
while Europes most-watched trou-
Bile spot waited in a dead political
calm for the results of Adolf Hit
ler's latest counsel to Albert Foster
his Danzig lieutenant.
Forester. the local Nazi leader was
expected back next week after his
conferences with the German Fueh-
rer Thursday and yesterday at Hit
ler's mountain retreat above Berch-
tesgaden.
Foerster's aides believed he would
have new instructions, but that they
would in essence counsel Danzig
Nazis once more to be patient.
Party leaders here still were con-
fldent, however, that Germany soon
would find a way to annex Danzig,
and Foerster's telephone calls from
Germany, they said, made them more
optimistic, They declined to be
more specific.
Hitler declared April % that Dan
zig must return to the Reich, to
which it belonged before the World
War settlement. Poland insists that
1t remain independent. British
Prime Minister Chamberlain Mon
day said its absorption by Germany
would bring into play British
pledges of armed aid to Poland il
Poland resisted such Nazi coup.
Boys and girls of the Hitler Youth
went to sports events and picnics
Numerous youth delegations from
Germany filed Danzig beaches anc
parks, having come on kraft durcf
freude"-"strength through joy
excursions operated by the German
organization of that name.
Athletic youngsters, boys in short!
and girls in white blouses and white
skirts, sang new Danzig Nazi sons
as they marched, in which one
couplet goes:
Germany, motherland, hear oul
plea;
Germany, fatherland, set us free.

$4,000 Bail Fixed
Hearing Will Be Held

81 the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 22.-Martin
t. Manton, former senior judge uf
the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals, pleaded innocent today IN
Federal Court to two indictments
charging conspiracy, and involving
the alleged payment of money to
him by litigants in cases he heard.
Federal Judge John W. Clancy
fixed bail at $4,000, although United
States Attorney John T. Cahill asked
for bail of $4,000, arguing the ma
ture of the offenses charged was of
serious enough import to warrant the
higher amount.
The judge fixed March 20 for
hearing to determine the trial date.
Manton, who recently underwent
an operation for glandular dis
order, made the plea of innocence
himself
The first indictment, returned
March 2, charged conspiracy Named
with Manton was George M. Spector,
one-time confidential agent for the
late Archie NJ Andrews, promoter
and financier.
Fallon Held Without Bail.
William Fallon, named as a CO.
defendant in the second indictment,
was held without bail until next
Wednesdays hearing.
The first case dealt specifically
with an action brought by Schick
Dry Shaver, Inc, and the Schick
Industries, Ltd, against the Dicto-
graph Products Co., Inc, for alleged
infringement of patent rights An
dreWs was represented as controlling
the Dictograph Corp. at the time.
The Schick companies won in the
United States District Court in
Brooklyn and the case was appealed
to the Circuit Court where Manton
sat
The indictment charged it was
part of the conspiracy that Manton
should sit as one of the judges and
render his individual judgment in
favor of the Dictograph concern.
For this, the indictment said. he
proflted to the c---ont of $4,000.
$4,000 Involved in Second Case.
The second indictment, returned
last Friday, contained three counts,
charging conspiracy as in the first
instance, and involved the alleged
payment of $1,000 for Mantons
favorable judgment in another pat
ent case
If convicted under the two IN
dictments Manton would face -
years Imprisonment and fines to-
falling 100000.
Manton resigned his judgeship
January 80 after District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey had written Rep
resentative Hatton w Summers,
chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, charging that the jur-
lst had accepted loans from liti-
gants in his court.

Such book is Reaching for the
Stars, by Nora VAIN
Nora Vain is an American
Quaker who went to China in 1920
and lived for two years with a Chi
nese family of high rank. with
whom her father had traded She
had a keen interest in Chinese
things and was quite student
of oriental philosophy. From her
Chinese journals she wrote House
of Exile" which so many readers
have enjoyed. While living in
China she married an Englishman
in the Chinese government service
and has lived there a number of
years.
In 1884 she and her husband went
to Germany where her husband
wished to study music. For the first
part of her stay she was very en-
thusiastic about the new Germany
but as she saw and learned more
of what was going on she became
very appalled,. In Reaching for
the Stars she tells the story of
their stay there.
Miss Vain has a great belief in
the German people and is very COM
passionate toward them. However,
her pity for them and the atrocities
they suffer under the present lead
ership, make her description of
events carry more weight and be
much more damning than a preju-
diced account.
