Hungarian Press Stresses
friendship With Poland

BUDAPEST, Aug. 10 lP.-Amidst
the Rome Berlin axis conferences of
Foreign Minister Count Csaky the
inspired Hungarian press today
voiced a desire for untroubled re-
lations with Poland.
The liberal newspaper Esti Kurir
declared:
Every good Hungarian watches
with sadness the conflicts of the
two friendly great powers poland
and Germany. This situation i'm
poses absolute neutrality on us.
Poland and Hungary are closely
united and there are unbreakable
ties between them
The government newspaper Pesti
Maya Hirlap came out for peace
negotiations before the war begins.
The liberal organ Pesti Hirlap
called for a peace conference under
papal leadership, as suggested by
Regent Nicholas Horthy when he
opened Parliament in May.
The Socialist newspaper Nepszava
declared Hungary was firmly de-
termined "to remain free and indie
pendent instead of being a football
for great powers"
Hungary's desire to remain neu-
trail if Germany and Poland should

Phillips Holmes
|CIeurs Record
! In Paris Court
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 19.-Phillips Holmes,
32-year-old screen actor originally
from Grand Rapids, Mich, today
wiped the French court records clear
of 15-day prison sentence standing
against him for a prank five years
ago.
In December, 1884, Mr.. Holmes
was dining with a friend here. Both
refused to pay the 70-franc bill. The
proprietor marched his two laugh
ing clients to police station where
both were searched as a matter of
routine.
Mr.. Holmes carried a long pocket
knife and was accordingly booked
for carrying concealed weapons. The
two finally paid their bill and de-
parted. Mr.. Holmes forgot the
whole affair and left for Hollywood
shortly afterward, but the French
machinery of justice dragged the
concealed weapon case to court and
three months later it was brought to
trial. Mr.. Holmes was sentenced in
absentia to Is days in Jail.
On his present visit the police
telephoned him for formal retrial.
The judge fined him IL francs (about
80 cents) and closed the case.

Flood, , Food Shortage
Comp|icate Japan's
New Order in China
Nipponese Now Erecting
Sondbog Borricode
Around Concession
By A. T. STEELE,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
PEIPING, Aug. 10 (by Radio -
Record-breaking floods and a grave
food shortage are complicating the
smooth running of the Japan-made
new order" in North China. Having
built an electrified fence around
the British concession at Tentsin
the Japanese are now rather fran
tically engaged in erecting sand
bag barrier around their own con-
cession.
Swollen by freshets in the west
the rising waters of the Haiho and
other streams have engulfed hun
dreds of square miles of territory
around Tientsin and have torn
passageways through the dikes pro-
tecting the city itself. A consid-
cradle part of the Chinese city is
inundated and the japanese, French
and British concessions are endan-
gered. A continued rise is expected
for some days.
The flood is said to be the most
serious experienced in North China
m decades and is accentuating the
already serious food shortage. Food
prices throughout the occupied
regions of North China, especially
in Peiping and Tientsin, have leaped
in some cases to fantastic levels
increases of 200 or 300 per cent
being not uncommon. Increased
consumer demand, as a result OF
the japanese influx and guerrilla
activity in the producing districts
has also helped to intensity NORTH

Wages have gone up, too, but no

Count Csoky Stays in Italy
To Resume Talks Monday

ROME, Aug. 19 Foreign
Minister Count Csaky of Hungary
remained in Italy for the week end
to resume conferences with Premier
Mussolini on the European situation
Monday.
Authoritative Italians said the
conversations, presumably on Hun
gary's place in a growing crisis as
an anti -Comintern ally of Germany
and Italy, would be resumed after
the Budapest government had con-
sidered the outcome of Count
Csaky's talks here yesterday with
Mussolini and Foreign Minister
Count Ciano.
Count Csaky was reliably reported
to have telegraphed to Budapest
a report of conversations which he
had with Mussolini in Rome and
with German Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop at Salz-
burg.
While awaiting instructions the
Hungarian Minister went by air.
plane to an undisclosed spot in
Northern Italy for a week end rest.
Details of the Mussolini- -Csaky
conference were withheld in official
circles, but it was taken for granted
the Hungarian minister surveyed
the part his country might be ex-
pected to play in any war involving
Hungary's anti-comitern allies
Germany and Italy.
Growing tension was reflected in
Italian newspaper headlines which
asked: will war be averted?" the
Fascist papers published long dis
patches from Berlin to the effect
peace depends on the "just sense of
the Polish government" with the
explanation Danzig's return to Ger

Admiral Harry Erwin Yarnell, "a,
retiring commander of the Asiatic
Fleet, was given rousing welcome
at the City Hall yesterday on his
return from the Orient aboard the

The white haired admiral declared
there was nothing at all heroic on
his part in refusing to evacuate Chi

ordered it.
That's just ordinary Navy policy"
he said.
Mayor Angelo j. Rossi, in a well
coming speech, said Admiral Yarnell
was "one of the worlds outstanding

Admiral Yarnell responded:

1t seems most fitting that I should

The admiral had little to say about
the Sino-Japanese situation. Asked
about indignities to Americans, he
said he had witnessed none. Sorry;
no comment" was his reply to a
question about japanese warlords.
Asked who would win the war, he re-
piled; They're not fghting-not

Japanese Pessimistic
Over Negotiations

TOXIC, Aug. 10 (P).-Informed
japanese sources were pessimistic
today over the possibility of resum-
ing British-Japanese negotiations
following reports that Great Britain
was unwilling to consider policing
and economic questions together in
discussing a settlement of the
Tientsin issue.
The japanese repeatedly have as
serted they would not accept divi-
sion of those subjects, although
progress has been made toward
agreement on the policing question
and there has been deadlock on the
economic issue-primarily Japan's
demand that Britain shift her sup
port from the currency of the
Chinese central government to Jap
anese federal reserve notes.
Japanese also reiterated that they
would not recognize any interest
of third powers in the economic
issue with Britain.

British Firmness
Against Japan Seen
Affecting Europe
Moy Serve as Warning to
Rome and Berlin and
Reinsurance to Allies
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-Great Brit
aims rejection of japanese demands
relating to economic questions in
China was interpreted in diplomatic
circles today as an example of firm
ness which might have vital effect
on the European situation.
The move, these circles said, might
serve as a warning to Rome and Ber-
lin that Britain intended to be firm
in Europe as well as in the Far East
and at the same time it might give
reinsurance to Britain's allies.
On the other hand, London diplo-
mats expressed belief the decision
must inevitably make the situation
extremely difficult in the Far East.
They saw the possibility of a COM
plete breakdown of the talks now 60
ing on in Toxic on the Tientsln dis
pute and looked for a new outbreak
OF anti-British demonstrations.
Denies Issues Are Local.
The government, through Ambas-
sador Sir Robert Leslie Craigie,
bluntly told Japan that Britain could
not even discuss in British-Japanese
talks the Japanese demands that
the British concession at Tientsin
ban Chinese currency and hand over
Chinese silver reserves of about a.
100000 American dollars.
The British view, as explained by
an informed official. is that these
are not purely local issues and that
If there are to be further discussions
arrangements must be made to take
into account the views of other in
terested powers.
Official circles said the United
States and France had been in close
touch with Britain on the Far East
ern question, but that the decision
announced today was reached by
Britain acting on her own.
Japanese circles in London eX-
pressed regret at Britain's action
and expressed the belief it was
bound to make the situation more
difficult.
Demand Accord on All Points.
They would not say definitely that
the Toxic talks would be broken off
but they did state that no agree
ment could be concluded on the
points already discussed-such as
police measures-unless there was
agreement on all questions
They fatty ruled out the posi-
bility of a nine-power conference
The reason for this, it was said
was because Japan would have no
friends in the meeting except Italy
while on the other side would be
China, Britain, France and the
United States-all directly con-
cerned-and possibly some of the
smaller states.
