NNVlltlAlutd EdkG ~ Justice Newell Jennings, which studied tho situation. The other plan would allow the present city and town courts to extend their jur- isdiction to nearby communities.
 The governors reform plan is meeting much legislative opposition, since many members of the assembly now hold jobs In the minor courts of the state. Its fate Is bound up with that of the bill against dual job holding, which also Is being strongly opposed.
 Baldwin Silent On Cox

curacy of labelling Great Britain or France as democracies."
 Plane Made Exposure Coughlin said that the wreck of a new model bombing plane in Cali fornia, in which @ representative of the French air ministry was a pass enger. exposed the United States deviation from . neutral foreign policy.
 Let us be realists and recognize that our destiny is confined to America" Coughlin said.
 Tt is not woven with the destinies of the empire abroad. By fighting for them we are fighting for neither peace nor democracy, but for the perpetuation of an obsolete finan- cial slavery.
 Meanwhile, we must assist the congress of the United States as they probe into these well-suspect- ed foreign relations established by unelected officers. Encourage them to write a neutrality act which can not be nullified by the stabiliza- ton fund or by any instrument of law.
 ScuttIe Stabilization
 Encourage them to scuttle the stabilization fund and to pass an act that will use the billions of dollars of gold buried at Fort Knox for Americans--not foreigners--not for protecting American homes, farms. industries, and institutions, and not for protecting the activities Of those who control the British pound or French franc"
 Father Coughlin declared that the gold stabilization fund established in 1884 was created to stabilize the English pound and the French franc controlled by the international bankers.
 Tt was not designed to stabilize American industry" he said. "Nor was 1t conceived to stabilize the prosperity of the poor Englishman or Frenchman.
 "In this stabilization fund we find the origin of our present foreign policy--a foreign policy devised for the benefit of internationalists and to the detriment of nationalists all over the world"

Ruins in France Yield
Vases of Fifth Century

NANCY, FRANCE.-Fifteen glass
vases dating from the Fifth century
were discovered in the village Of
Haut-de-T ombeaux on the banks Of
the Moselle when a cemetery of u
tombs dating from the Middle ages
was excavated.
Modern Photographic analysis at
the Paris Optical institute estab-
lished the age of the vases, which
were made in the region, but from
materials which could only have
come from the Far East and prob
ably peddled by wandering nomad
traders Of that period.
Systematic excavations have been
started to find further medieval OBJ
jects.

Tells Horrors
OfChiaese War
Major Chin, American Born,
Relates Coafusjon a
Fall Of Canton.

HONCKONG.-There are things
about this war that must be termed
fantastic. -
You can meet and talk 70 war
refugees, and when you see . ragged
Chinese peasant who hn3 carried his
wounded wife for miles 10 md s4nc-
tuary. you stare. at drst and then
fight the desire 10 xHn sway from Il.
And you can mest some one like
Maj. George B. Chin, Of Boston, who
il also . refugee. IN sense, and,
talking to him, you ind yourself
staring at him.
Here you have q young man who
was born in San Jose, Calf, who
played on the streets Of Boston, and
who still has his home there.
He talks about the fan Of Canton,
and his voice is quick, impatient,
with bits Of American slang:
Uses American Slang.
''It was one for the books. Here
I was with 500 men, ordered into
third-line position, and finding my
self in front-line position instead.
That shows how fast the japanese
came through. I had my men on
both sides of the highway. IN rough,
billy country. No equipment to
speak of, but we did have a couple of
anti-tank guns and q lot of hand
grenades.
1.-THE Japanese showed up with
Eve tanks. We let 60 at them with
the anti-tank guns and got two of
the tanks. Then the Japanese came
back with Is tanks and about 80 air
planes. They bombed us, and how.
All ] could see for a time was men
bouncing into the air as the bombs
hit all around us. There was moth
ing we could do against that. I got
back to Canton with about ITS Of my
men.
SIN Canton it was all confusion,
with troops moving out. Things were
all washed up. There was nothing
to do but get out. I made it."
In Dirty Prison.
Without realizing it, he gives you
perfect word picture of that
strange and awful Imprisonment.
How they were unable to identity
themselves, as a group of fleeing
Chinese officers, and how they were
arrested by the troops of another
district on suspicion of being spies.
1T was wet, dirty hole of place
where you wouldn't keep dog. (He
is an educated Chinese-American.)
They chained us to a wall. I got
loose and managed to get my COM
rades loose. Then we heard some
one coming and we had to run.
There was just one old man left"
What happened to the old MANI"
you ask.
~ told him, Here, perhaps they
won't kill you because you're an old
man. And I managed to find a
piece of iron that he could use in
getting himself free. Then we had
to run for it."
You start to say, "sort of tough
on the old man, wasn't it?" but he
doesn't give you a chance. He talks
on, as youth, and it is so apparent
that he sees old age as being close
to death anyway, so what difference
does it make.
And 1t is, after all, war in China.
