Appeal 10 Hull for

Cited in Message
By the Associated Press,

SHANGHAI, Oct. 23.-A group of
representative Shanghai Americans
today adopted a resolution asking
Secretary of State Hull for increased
Washington support for mainte-
nance of the American position in
Shanghai. The resolution was tele-
graphed to Washington.
The Americans contended that re-
cent clashes on the border of the
International Settlement were
growing danger to the American
community. Settlement police have
clashed with agents of the Japanese
sponsored local Chinese regime.
L. S. Marines Ready to Act.
However, American authorities at
Shanghai, while watching the pres
ent troubles closely, have let it be
known they feel the situation is no
more serious for American residents
than it has been in several previous
periods since the outbreak of Chi
nese-Japanese hostilities in 1897.
These officials reiterated that
United States Marines here would
not hesitate to act if Americans
were endangered.
United States authorities pointed
out that recent border clashes in

Brief Raid Alarm
Sounded Around
Firth of Forth
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-An air raid
warning was sounded over the Firth
of Forth area of Scotland today,
but was Cancelled shortly later
The "all clear" was sounded Is
minutes after the alarm had been
lifted about noon in other regions
of Southeast Scotland.
The persistence of the German
flights over the North Sea toward
vital British seaports and naval
bases-alarms have been sounded
every day except Thursday during
the last seven days-was regarded
by flying students as form of feel
ing out the British defenses.
In other words, despite British
claims of downing l3 German craft
or inf1icting losses of about Is per
cent on the invading squadrons,
these were believed by many to be
double-edged forays having the pur-
pose of spreading anxiety and map
ping objectives more precisely for a
wave of larger raids to come.
An air ministry communique said
the warnings sounded in the Firth
of Forth area today were due to
the approach of unidentified air.

Three Hikers Lost
On Mountain Peak

Climbers Missing After
6,300-Foot Ascent
B! the Associated Press.


MOUNT WASHINGTON N. H..
Oct. 23.-Three Massachusetts, per-
sons were missing today on the
wind and snow swept slopes of
Mount Washington, New England's S
highest peak.
Forest rangers and mountain
guides began searching for the trio
in the teeth of a snowstorm about
midnight, after they failed to re-
turn from a Sunday hike to the
mountaintop.
Missing were Robert Bastaw of
Blllerica and Edward Coughlin and
Anne Pearsall, both of Lowell, Mass.
They were members of a party of
eight who assembled the $780, foot
mountain early Sunday. The other
five, three of them young women.
reached the base on the carriage
road, while the missing three started
down the rocky, steep slopes of
.Tuckermans Ravine.
Mountain experts said they con-
sidered it likely the three had
descended at least to the timberline
before they were overtaken by dark
ness. Their companions said they
wore fairly heavy ski outfits, and
declared that while the three could
not be called mountain experts. I"
they were certainly more than
novices."
Joe Dodge, hut manager for the
Appalachian Mountain Club at the
base, quoted the safe members of
the party as saying they climbed
the mountain in a rain and snow
storm, and that they started down
about 2:15 at the height of a snow
squall.
Terming the action "a crazy thing
to do" Mr.. Dodge said, however,
the three may be all right, if they
were able to get a fire started"

Japanese Schedule
Talks With j. ). on
Rights in China
Need for Concessions
By Both Countries
Stressed in Toxic
By the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Oct 23.-The Japanese
foreign Office planned today a series
OF conferences with United States
Ambassador Joseph C. Grew for
discussion of mutual problems, but
said at the same time the burden
OF finding an arrangement" for set
tling them is not Japan's alone.
No official reply will be made to
Mr.. Crews speech before the
America Japan Society last Thurs
day, in which he said Americans
objected to the manifold inter-
ference" of the japanese Army with
American rights in China.
Yakichiro Suma, new foreign Of
flee spokesman, said at a press con-
ference no official cognizance would
be taken because Mr.. Crews re-
marks were delivered unofficially.
He confirmed plans for talks soon
between Mr.. Grew and Foreign Min
lister Kichisaburo Nomura, but said
he did not know what was on the
agenda.
Suma described Mr.. Crews speech
as IAN energetic effort to create
understanding between the two
countries, and remarked, Such
straight-forwardness in the presen-
tation of American views will be
much appreciated"
Sees Lack of Understanding,
He took strong issue, however,
with Mr.. Crews statement that
American public opinion on the Far
Eastern problem is well-informed.
MY experience" Suma said. "has
shown deplorable ignorance of
the Sino-Japanese question, even
among American circles which
should be considered ell-informed.
While it is true that have met
many Americans who are fully in
touch with the situation. 1 would
say the great majority is entirely
ignorant of it."
The foreign Office spokesman also
said that Mr. Grew, in describing
the texture of American opinion
toward Japan, had failed to note
much anti-Japanism stemmed from
sentimentalism and emotionalism
There is strong tendency among
many Americans to condemn in ad-
vance any japanese action or any
thing japanese merely on the ground
that it is Japanese" observed Suma
Il have heard all the talk and
planning about boycotts and en-
bargoes," continued Suma. EN-
barge is easy to talk about, but
know many American businessmen
who realize the dangers and are
aware of the hardships it would
work upon them.
Holds Compromise Essential.
What many Americans fail to
recognize is that the burden of set
ting these questions is not entirely
on Japan's shoulders.
Americans seem to feel that it is
entirely matter of Japan making
concessions, but any compromise in
wolves concessions on both sides, plus
a full realization of all the issues
at stake"
Although Mr.. Crews speech has
not been published in full in Japa-
nese language newspapers, oral re-
ports were said to have spread
widely
Foreign sources said it was a
plain statement that America re-
fuses to be kicked out of China" I"
