 as Tip=Off to What Party May Endorse

g. Adopt immediate legislation to rehabilitate the railroads;
 10. Create a special committee of Congress to inquire into the effects of the reciprocal trade policy on industry and agriculture;
 II. Clairfy federal rules and regulations "so industry and busi- ness may know what to expect;
 12. Reject all experimental leg islation not clearly helpful in pro- noting recovery, or which would subject agriculture, labor or indus try to compulsory decrees of fed- eral bureaucracy"
 "Our sympathies" are with the nations fighting Relationships but "our sympathies and emotions must be kept within the bounds of neu- trality," Martin said. "In order to be able to help rescue the world from 8 chaos which may result from these wars, and to assure our own safety, we must remain at peace, solve our own problems, and restore our internal economy we must guard against being led un- willingly into the paths which will make it impossible to remain at peace.
 "The gravest danger to the peace and security of the United States today is not from some foreign in- vasion, but from allowing pressing home problems to go unsolved.
 "Our front line is not on the Rhine. nor in France" but in re- cent months "there has been a studied effort on the part of men in high places to divert the atten- tion of the nation from the failures of the new deal and to focus pub lie discussion upon the wars aboard"
 He asked for "less government spending and lower taxes, fewer government employees and more ef- ficiency" and said the solution lies in common sense economy in the administration of public business"
 Under Republican administra- tion no real needs" are going to be ignored, he said, but: We on the Republican side have insisted and we still insist-that tremendous savings could be realized by the elimination of waste, extravaganza,

Diplomacy Toward Japan
Is Denounced by Fish
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN. Conn. Oct. g.
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York charged in prepared
speech last night that "a perilous
situation has developed as a result
of the blunders of the New Deal
diplomacy in taking such an ag-
gressive and belligerent attitude to-
ward Japan with nothing to back
it up"
He also told the Yale Political
Union that Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia Uni
versity, was Americas most pro-
nounced reactionary and interven-
zionist" and said that Columbia had
declared war on Germany, Italy
and Japan at the instigation of DR..
Butler"
He suggested that DR.. Butler 'be
made a field marshal, and that FL
lott Roosevelt and the editors of
the New York Times go over to
Europe or Asia and fight
He said he hoped Harvard. Yale
and Princeton will not declare war
also, but judging from the news
papers the presidents of these uni
versities are likewise on the verge
of declaring war and sending their
students to study on the battle
fields of China and Europe, to die
in dear old Indo-China, Singapore,
Java or Mandalay.'

Success of the discussions with
Mr.. Oumansky here in removing
points of friction between this

questions of policy, diplomatic
sources said.
Talks Started in July.
The talks resumed yesterday were
begun by Mr.. Welles and the Soviet
Ambassador last July, prior to an
nual renewal of the American
Soviet commercial agreement. They
were carried on in what Mr.. Welles
described as a friendly and con-
structive manner to determine
whether relations generally might be
improved.
In early August, however, they
were broken off suddenly amid re-
ports that Russian demands for
concessions by this country had
raised substantial differences that
barred progress. There was no evl-
dence that these obstacles had been
overcome, but resumption Of the
talks Yesterday indicated some basis
for discussion remained.

Consulates were advising American
citizens today throughout the Jap
anese empire to depart for home as
soon as possible.
The instructions were not an
nounced publicly in the Orient, but
were expected to be passed along
quietly to American communities so
as to avoid any unnecessary alarm.
United States Consul General
Richard P. Butrick declined to COM
ment on the instructions.
While the movement OF Amerl-
cans out of the Far East was in
augurated the japanese Navy was
reported to have landed forces on
Liu Kung Island off Shantung Pen
insula. on which the Chinese gov
ernment of Gen. Chang Kai-shek
recently granted Great Britain re-
newal of 10-year lease.
The landing apparently was de-
signed to enforce the stand of the

at Nanking, which regards the lease
as no longer operative.

Plane Crash Victim
lis Identified as
III. Mafher Of D. T..
Killed With Another
Flyer 30 Miles From
Solt Lake City

1t. James E. Mather, "a, Washing
ton resident and former West Point
football star, has been tentatively
identified as one of two Army Air
Corps flyers who were killed late
yesterday in a flaming crash of their
two-seater attack airplane against
a mountain 80 miles from Salt Lake
City, Utah.
A watch bearing 1t. Mather's
name was taken from one of the two
burned bodies, the Associated Press
reported. The other flyer, 1t is
believed, was Pvt. Homer c. Lloyd
OF Rosebud. Mont.
Graduate Of Western.
1t. Mather, a graduate Of Western
High School, West Point and the
Air Corps Flying School at Kelly
Field, Tex, was assigned to the
seventh bombardment group last
June and in September the group
was transferred to Fort Douglas
Utah.
The attack plane, according to
George watson, guoed low over MS
cabin, scared about 900 feet farther
and crashed into the side Of a
mountain. A Forest Service fore
man, w. S. Olsen, was the first to
reach the damaged airplane, which
he found lying on its back.
"I smashed the glass but the
window was too close to the ground
and I couldn't get the men through, -
Mr.. Olsen said.
"One man made no movement
but the other was alive. He cried:
For Gods sake, hurry up and
get me out of heren
Il tried pulling him out through
the bars at the side, but the bars
were too close together.
The man tried to help, but we
Just couldn't do it. Finally the heat
got so intense I had to abandon
him to his fate"
A moment later the gasoline tank
exploded and the wrecked plane was
burned.
