Domei, japanese news agency,
predicted an emergency cabinet ses-

day, to consider reorganization.
War Minister 1t. Gen. Sieshiro

officials after the army formally ap-
proved the shift in foreign policy
and the government protested to
Berlin against the signing of the
German-Soviet non-aggression pact.

Seihin Ikeda, cabinet counselor and

The protest against the non-ag-

asserted that Germany had vio-

ment with Soviet Russia, Japan's
old foe and the home of Commu-
nism.
Policy Has Shifted Far.
The army's approval of a policy of
isolation was indicative Of how far
Japan has turned in her foreign
policy, particularly in light of the
fact the army strongly supported
the Anti-Comintern Pact and Ger
tain elements had even gone so far
as to demand a military alliance
with Rome and Berlin.
At the same time the army state

The terms-if they were terms
were brought to London during the
day by the British Ambassador in
Berlin, Sir Neville Henderson, after
an hour and a quarter conference

Hitler.
Despite its delay in sending forth
with an answer to Berlin, the British
government was said in usually we'll
informed quarters to be determined
to prevent Poland from going the
way Of Czecho- -Slovakia.
The apparent optimism in Nazi
circles In Berlin at the prospect of a
compromise was not shared in Brit
ish circles. The tendency in govern
ment circles here was to minimize
the possibility Of negotiation-unless
Hitler was ready to talk on terms OF
lasting peace"
The British, like the French,
pushed on with military prepara-

was as remote as it seemed last
night, when German developments

Unpreparednes Seen.
The failure of Germany to strike
last night when the stage appeared
to be set for swift military action,
and Hitler's sudden summons in
stead to the Ambassadors of Great
Britain, France, Italy, and Japan,
was interpreted by some observers
as a sign that the Fuehrer was not
ready to risk European war over
his claims against Poland.
These claims, as reported in reli-
able diplomatic quarters in London,
were not defined clearly in Hitlers
talks with Henderson and the
French Ambassador yesterday.
But the German chancellor was
said to have stressed his desire to
avoid war with Great Britain and
France and to have indicated a
strong desire for negotiation.
Whether this desire was inspired
most by the advice of his army lead
ers on the military situation or the
appeal of President Roosevelt for
negotiation on a basis which the
Polish President accepted, was a
matter of conjecture here.
But the opinion seemed general in
unof1cial British circles that Hitler
suddenly had changed to a more
conciliatory attitude than he showed
during the Czecho-Slovak crisis last
year.
Great Britain and France, with
their forces mobilized after months
OF preparation, on the other hand
were said in diplomatic quarters to
be more wary of German diplomatic
moves and determined to stand by
Poland-at the conference table OF
in the field.

Young Democrats
Of Virginia Oppose
Sd Presidential Term
Resolution Is Adopted
More Than Z to |
After Bitter Fight
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROANOKE, Va, Aug. 26.-The
young Democrats of Virginia in a
tumultuous session at their eighth
annual convention late today adopt
ed a resolution opposing a third
presidential term.
The bitterly fought resolution was
adopted, 1882 to 35912, after pro-
ponents had outmaneuvered op-
ponents and shut of debate. Critics
of the resolution, however, prolonged
the session until long after the ap-
pointed adjournment hour on mo-
tions to reconsider.
The resolution put the organiza-
ton on record "as being in accord
with the salutary precedent and
principle that no man shall serve
more than two successive terms as
President Of the United States" The
resolution further stated: Our posi-
ton is one of policy and not of per-
sonality and is in no sense di-
rected against the President of the
United States"
Another clause of the resolution
pledged the young Democrats to
support the Democratic candidate
nominated in the 1910 Democratic
National Convention.
Among other resolutions adopted
was the majority report of the Capt.
tation Tax Committee, which rec
commended no change be made in
the law requiring payment of capi-
tation tax as prerequisite for vot-
ing in Virginia.
Senator Glass and Gov. Price both
spoke briefly before the Resolutions
Committee made its report.

T1ENTSIN, China. Aug. 26.-Au-
thorities tonight considered the pos
eibility Of a mass evacuation Of all
foreigners from the flooded North
China area as the scope Of the
disaster increased.
They estimated that 10000 900
persons already had suffered in the
flood, setting this figure for those
who were drowned, stricken with
disease, starving or homeless.
Engineers estimated that a large
section of North China, extending
to the old bed OF the Yellow River
near Tsining in Shantung Province,
$50 miles southwest Of here, was
under flood water as other rivers
overf1owed to add to the devastation
caused by the flooded Hal here.
Continuing rains brought mixed
results, adding to the woe of suf-
ferers in exposed places but provid-
Ing nearly every one with little
drinking water. Normal water IA
cilities have been crippled for days.
Life here was desperate. All avail
able men, haggard and unshaven,
worked ceaselessly, while refugees
continued to increase on the remain
ing perches provided by any dry OBJ
ject jutting above the water.
Many babies were born to Chinese
women in the groups of refugees.
The stencil and danger of foul
waters was becoming acute. Bodies
of the drowned were being gathered
and dumped in increasing numbers
into the Hal River in the hope they
would float to sea.
American officials stated all Amer
leans were accounted for, while
United States marines, travelling in
boats, visited Americans in their
homes to supply food and offer aid.
American authorities have urged
all their nationals except those
whose presence here was imperative
to evacuate. The majority have
complied.

to Berlin might not be a fiat ives"
or mo- answer on Hitler's proposals,
but request for further clarifica-
ton of his intentions regarding
Danzig-the crux of the dispute
and Poland.
Decision Up to Poland.
In the same quarters, it was said
that Poland herself would have to
decide whether there was an ac-
ceptable basis of negotiations. Mr..
Chamberlain has repeatedly declared
that German-Polishd differences were
a subject of negotiation between
those two countries and not between
Britain and Germany.
The Prime Minister, who recalled
Parliament into emergency session
last Thursday to hear him declare
that the country was confronted
with the imminent peril of war and
to rush through virtual dictatorial
powers for the government to deal
with an emergency. was expected
in informed quarters to summon
another meeting of Parliament
Monday.
If he did so, the belief was ex-
pressed in political circles that he
would give an account of the Hitler
Henderson conversation and the
cabinets reaction before embarking
definitely upon course of action.
Sunday editorials of London's s
morning newspapers took firm stands

Army, the peer among land forces,
they skeletonized. Our weapons they
allowed to become outmoded. Our

obsolete. Our Army and Navy plans
for industrial mobilization they
stymied. Our National Defense Act

preparedness for America passed

Y' PROGRESS

According to the annual report of the st. Antoine
YMCA which was made public at the anniversary
dinner last Thursday; the institution is making COM
mendabe progress and constantly increasing its serv-
ices to the community. 1t was indicated that the
St. Antoine branch is also becoming increasingly
sef-suppUrting In view of the adverse economic
conditions severely affecting in the last few years.
the financial progress of the institution commands
respect
Nevertheless, it is odd that, in view of the net
earnings of vast population IN Detroit, so little
of the money finds its way into institutions of pub
lie benefit and community service. The Community
Fund, the Y.M.C.A. and other public agencies an
nualv render services so much out of proportion to
what contribute to them that the average citizen
is shocked on studying the statistics The question
Immediately confronts us, how interested are we in
our own community How interested are we in
community progress?
More money has been spent on single dance here
than was raised during the whole Community Fund
drive among us and incidentally, the money was
spent by those who are generally regarded as not
being able to contribute When we consider the So
called professional classes among us, their conribu-
lions to community services are even more appalling
It is true that there are some very notable eXcep-
tons By and large, however, wealthy citizens
who do not need the public services seem to feel that
they have no responsibilities for those who do This
lack of social consciousness" makes all of our inst-
tutions suffer.
great many of us seem to feel that our unfor-
tunate position in the American economy provides
an excuse for our disinterestedness in matters of
public welfare. Paradoxieally the richer we become
the more disinterested Certainly such state
of affairs does not contribute to the progress of
people. Our very economic misery should make US
closer to each other and the privations of many
among us should stir the generosity of those in a
position to help. We must become brothers
keeper in the very Christian sense. Unless we do,
we shall never become emancipated from the
shackles Of economic and social discrimination.
