Service Commission, the Baltimo-

young that my father had said I

she had not heard my father say I

VATICAN CITY, May 6.-Pope
Plus XII was reported on good
authority tonight to have put the
moral force of the Catholic church
and the diplomatic resources Of the
Vatican into a campaign to pre-
serve the peace of Europe.
Sources familiar with Vatican
policy said that the papal nuncios
to Germany, France. Italy, Poland
and other countries had been in
structed by the pontiff to confer
with high officials-in some cases
the heads of governments-in an
effort to safeguard peace.
The informants cited interviews
yesterday between Msgr. CeSare

Chancellor Hitler and Msgr. Val
eric Valeri. nuncio to France, and
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet.

Cardinal Maglione, papal secretary
of state, and that some reports from
nuncios telling of progress already

u. 5. Apprehensive
OF Japan S Demand
For Shanghai Powers
Infringing on American
Interests Seen if Added
Authority Is Gronted
By the Associated Press.


Japan's demand for more author
ity in the Shanghai International
Settlement is receiving close study
here from officials apprehensive that
II it is granted there may be i'm
pingement on American interests in
the richest section Of vast China.
Japan's request was made in a
communication the Japanese for
eign Office handed recently to Amer
ican Ambassador Joseph G. Grew
and the British Ambassador de-
manding more representation on the
Shanghai Municipal Council
The Importance OF keeping trade
with the Shanghai International
Settlement open to all nations is
reflected by the fact that in 1887
Shanghai's share of the foreign
trade Of China was So per cent IN
imports and 48 per cent in exports.
In 1884, United States exports to
the Shanghai area totaled $34, TOO
600 and imports from that area
$43 ,00O, 900.
During 1898, Shanghai trade fell
considerably owing to the Sino-Jap-
anese war.
Injury to U. s. Trade Feared.
Concern is felt here that if Japan
is given the control of the Interna-
tional Settlement, American trade
with that area may suffer. Such
has been the experience OF American
merchants in other parts of Japa-
nese-c0ntrolled China, as vehement
ly expressed in repeated notes by
Secretary of State Hull to Toxic.
The International Settlement is
governed by council consisting of
five British. two American. two
Japanese and five Chinese members,
all elected by the taxpayers of the
settlement. The United States Gov
eminent is not directly connected
with the council; the Americans
chosen are private citizens. Matters
arising between the United States
and the International Settlement
are generally handled by the Amer
ican Consul General in Shang-
hal, now Clarence Gauss.
But the Government is interested
IN seeing that the settlement re-
mains truly international and does
not become japanese controlled.
U. S. Has Direct Interest.
Secretary of State Hull believes
this Government has direct inter-
est in the International Settlement,
because the land regulations under
which the settlement is governed
were originally negotiated by foreign
Consuls and were approved by the
diplomatic body in China.
Japan advances her claims to fur
ther representation on several
grounds. Among them is the fact
that she has the largest foreign
population in Shanghai-40, 900, as
compared with 10000 Russians, 5000
British, $500 Americans, 1000 Por-
tuguese, 1900 Germans and 1000
French.
Another is the fact that over
half hundred Chinese puppet
leaders set up by the japanese IN
Shanghai have been assassinated.
Japan. alleges that terrorists take
refuge in the International Settle
ment, from which they sally out to
accomplish their killings.

how many will be needed or when

at the mercy of uncertainty and
the employers at the mercy OF
necessity for rushing work. AS a
result the labor market is either
overcrowded or insufficient.
Careful planning and close CO.

workmen going on relief between
