Japan's S New Order
For China F|at|y
Rejected by U.S..

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. (UP)-
The United States today flatly re-
jected Japan's proposed new order
in China but tacitly invited Japan
and other powers concerned to en-
ter negotiations regarding possible
revision of foreign rights and in
terestS in the Far East.
Details of the note disclosed that
this government charged Japan
with unfair discrimination against
American trade and commerce with
China and with assuming the pow
ers of sovereignty in China by the
use of armed force in violation OF
existing treaties.
Meanwhile, it said, this gov
ernment reserves all rights of the
United States as they exist and
does not give assent to impairment
of any of those rights"

union members, forgetting their
own hatreds of one another, joined
in an effort to halt unloading OF
642 crates of oranges from four

aboard the liner, City of Los An

CIO and AF of L, however, an
nounced that other unionistS would
refuse to load the oranges aboard

Farmers saw in the circumstance
a renewed threat against non
union transportation of produce
to market.

was put down several months ago.
Legal Rights
I'VE relied strictly upon our legal
rights at that time" said Osborne,
and we shall continue TO do so.
We are entirely within legal bounds
in seeing that these shipments go
through"
Osborne pointed out that the
association, organiz-
ed under sponsorship of the Asso-
ciated Farmers, cannot protect
produce shipments unless called
upon by the shipper to do so. Once
called in, however, the association
intends tc see that farm shipments
go through, he added.

and driven to MeXicai where he es-
capped changed prosecutors minds
so that they included Yamatoda
in the kidnapping charge. The case
will be heard Jan. 4 in Judge Nuf-
fer's court.
At that time. Sheffield and Kubo
are expected to answer charges.
Yamatoda, however, may have diff
ficulty in attending the session,
because at least reports he was in
Mexicali none too anxious to leave,
even though the United States i'm
migration authorities will have to
be confronted before he can enter
this country. Also hanging over
Yamatodas head is an attempted
murder charge in Los Angeles, as
we'll as a gambling charge in Impe-
rial county.
Jailed for Protection
Friday, visiting day" at the coun-
ty Jail, brought three Oriental Wis
itors to see Sonoda, who is staying
behind bar of his own free will.
Officers said the little man, key
witness in the case against Shef-
field, Yamatoda and Kubo. believes
the jail's climate is healthier than
that outside.
Sonoda apparently prefers the
parently the story told by Sonoda
county Jail to the Mexicali bastile,
where he was held several days be-
fore being transferred. In Mexicali
he was held on a kidnapping charge
brought by Yamatoda. These charg-
es were set aside when Sonoda was
brought across the line.
The complicated series of kid
nap and gambling charges grew out
of what Oswalt termed Gambler
Kingpin" Yamatoda's asserted at
tempt to muscle in and create
gambling concession in FL Centre.
He also linked it with the Los An
geles murder charge, pointing out
that as Sonoda is a witness there
it might be convenient for the king
pin if Sonoda disappeared.
Giesler Has Version

came from high-powered Jerry
Giesler. Los Angeles attorney OF
prominence through his handling
of sensational criminal trials, most
recent of which was that OF Col
Moe the Gimp" Snyder, former
husband of Ruth Etting. Giesler,
in long distance phone calls to
Imperial Valley, claimed the whole
confused chain of events started
through rivalry over the Oriental
film concession in Los Angeles,
Theatre men in Ell Centro merely
looked beWildered when asked what
this concession is. They said they
had never heard of it. Be that as
is may, however, Glesler claimed
someone kidnapped his client on the
memorable night a week ago Friday
and that Sheffield and Kubo are
his trusted employees, sent
here to assist Yamatoda, who had
been arrested in Los Angeles by
Oswalt on the gambling charge ano
brought to the valley.
These are stories on which both
Chief Oswalt and Attorney Giesler

These two important officers
must be officially chosen on Mon

80 Forecasts

came from B. L. Hamburger who
made the flat statement that:
In my opinion. only a major
catastrophe TO crops or TO the ma
tional economic structure can pre-
vent a boom in Imperial Valley
during 1889.
For two years the valley has
had a comparatively poor return
on crops and therefore buying has
been held below what would be
normal Now the valley is pSychol-
ogically set. Given a decent break
on crop revenue, a regular boom
in buying should be released"
More Conservative
Bankers ran true TO tradition
and took a more conservative posi-
ton. Walter HaVekorst predicted
small but steady increase in val
ley business activity He said:
Three points lead me to take
a more cheerful attitude. Reports
of national business are hopeful,
the farm outlook is more i'm
proved, and I have noticed a psy-
Geological change in valley people
from being 'jittery' to having more
faith in the future"
E. L. Carson commented:
''The man who can predict def
initely what the new year will
bring to- business hasn't been born
yet. Whether or not business will
go to higher levels in 1899, I don't
know. There are several factors.
however, which might point in
that direction. The building picture
is good. I have more FILA loans
on my desk now than ever before.
The new crops, flax and sugar
beets, should add materially to
valley prosperity, as well as the
Mexican embargo on cattle ship
ments."
M o. King took firm stand in
forecasting greater buying power
among valley folk.
ANY way you look at it, valley
prosperity depends directly upon
farm income. With the improved
outlook for farm prices I expect
that income to be increased and
with it an expansion of retail sales
during the year. We have already
made plans to that end
A combination of optimistic agri-
cultural outlook, national forecasts
and local conditions brought
heartening stand from Howard
Meyer. Basing part Of his predic-
tions for good year" on Decem-
ber business results, Meyer said
Fall business indicated to me
that people no longer have the idea
of making a stake in Imperial VAL
ley and then leaving. Their buying
indicates they mean to make per-
manent homes in the valley. Christ
mas buying, for example, was large
ly for practical articles, substantial
goods as opposed to "knick-knacks'
and shows people are buying for
the future as well as the present

Of business activity, he pointed out.
The conservative opinion of w,
w. McEuen was:
There is no reason to believe
conditions in the valley will slump.
I don't expect much change in
valley land values although 1 do
expect improvement in prices for
farm commodities. Most important
factor, SO far as land valuations
are concerned, would be a straight
ening out of district financial
problems to release buying from
outside sources"
