Secretary Hull indicated that, in
addition to his public statement
on Wednesday opposing any dis
turbance of the position of Indo-
China and The Netherlands East
Indies, the United States had made
formal diplomatic representations
to Japan.
Noting the British governments
announcement of its own represen-
tations in Tokyo, Secretary Hull
said he would not be surprised to
see many peaceful governments
make representations in favor of
preservation of the status quo
which he said was announced a
few months ago as the unqualified
policy of all the governments in
the Far East as well as in other
parts of the world.

LIVERPOOL BOMB
DAMAGE SLIGHT
Continued from Page One)

The only portion for which I did
not have a pass was the oil install
lations, but from what I could see
from outside there appeared to
have been no damage and work
was proceeding normally.
The windows Of some buildings
have been shattered. I saw evil
dence Of one hit on a dock which
had slightly damaged a grain ele-
vator. The only visible damage to
shipping itself was the sinking Of
one small trawler by a bomb.
The net effect on movement of
cargo appears to have been negli-
gible.
The port is just as busy by
night as by day. At midnight dock
crews swing into action, working
swiftly in a blackness broken only
by shaded lights invisible from up
above.
Today, stevedores we're loading
and unloading cargo. The great
cranes that line the docks were
swinging out bales Of merchan-
disc for export and swinging in
food and other essential imports
for Britain.
The port was functioning nor
mally-normally for wartime, that
is-for the figures I have checked
independently from four or FIVE
sources, including neutral, agree
that Liverpool's traffic after a year
Of war is some 40 to so per cent
above the 20, ZOO, 900 tons of cargo
handled in the average peace-time
year. 2

BETTER TOBACCO
IMPROVES PRICES
Prices On Bright Belt Mar
kets Two To Three Cents
Above Those Of 1889

RALEIGH, Sept. g. Up Prices
improved slightly today with the
advent of larger offerings of better
quality tobacco on most of tn e
markets of the North Carolina
Bright Belt.
Prices generally appeared to be
two to three cents higher than last
year., when the seasons average
was 1894 cents Il pound.
Opening sales on the IA markets
this week brought average prices
of is to 20 cents, with best grades
bringing five to seven cents a
pound more than at the 1889 open
ing.
There have been few reports OF
grower dissatisfaction.
Warehouseman Gilbert Peele
said at Greenville he felt certain
that "all grades are selling slight
" better. He said top price ran
around 80 cents a pound, with
some farmers averaging about 80
cents for their entire offerings.
Other piles we're sold as low as
five cents a pound, however, keep
ing the average down. Peele flg-
ured the days sales at 1,00O,Ooo
to 1850, 900 pounds, with floors
cleared by Monday.
At Wilson, the worlds largest
tobacco market, Warehouseman F.
M. Eagles estimated the average
at IT'S to 10 cents and said prices
were firm. The Wilson market sold
1,272, 542 pounds yesterday at an
average of $17.72 a hundred. Sales
for the week, through yesterday,
amounted to 4,028, 800 pounds at
s17.72 average compared with s.
243, 1922 sold during the first week
last year at an average OF $l5.0o.
Little change in prices was re-
ported at Kinston from yesterday
when the average was $16.O2 on
sales of 1,O22, SOB pounds. M o
than 1000, 900 pounds were offered
today, much of it of inferior quail
ity.
Prices were about the same as
yesterday at Rocky Mount, where
about 1000, 900 pounds were
offered. Sales Supervisor E. G.
Johnston, Jr., reported 841,282
pounds sold there yesterday for an
average of 1907 cents a pound.
Higher quality weed brought
stronger prices at Washington,
where nearly 100, 900 pounds were
offered. An average of 17.10 cents
was paid yesterday for 5000
pounds there.
"Prices have improved a little
and quality is also improving,
said Sales Supervisor w. c. Tucker
at Goldsboro. more leaves from
the body of the plants r coming
in, though there are still a lot OF
bad tips" He said sales yesterday
amounted to 172, 1872 pounds at an
average of 1879 cents a pound and
estimated that today's average
was higher. 4

Nothing was said about the ole

Last night, he had sat all night
in the palace while Antonescu
urged him over and over to abdi-

guardists screamed their contemp,

armed uprising.
His kingdom already stripped Of
Bessarabia and Northern Bucovina

the crowd outside raised again ano

At last, the king agreed to be
king no longer. The decision act

it was made under the condition
that nothing would be divulged
until the monarch had had time
to reach the royal yacht.
Then, clearly in fear of his life,
he packed hurriedly. left ~stealthily

COURT
Decision in the Strange Case of
''BUSINESS BEFORE
FIGHTING"

Continued from Page Eight
"-REVERSEDr" Although
the lower court saw fit to declare
young Harvey Jordan not guilty of
desertion, the Circuit Court of
Appeals took the opposite view
and, according to the record, he
was held in jail at Fort Jay. New
York Harbor, to await court
martial proceedings, which tribunal
would then pass finally on the
question and state the penalty, If
found guilty.
The record does not disclose the
final disposition of the case. How
ever, the action of the appeal body
showed which way the winds Of
justice were blowing. He was un-
doubtedly considered as having
done wrong, although the court
did say: "The fact that permission
was granted to issue a passport by
one department of the government
and that there were extensions
granted in South America, may be
matters in mitigation of the offense."
A most interesting and pertinent
point in this case, is the meaning
and Importance of the phrase "iin
the military service of the U.S.A."
Harvey Jordan was Gin the military
service" from the time he was told
to report to headquarters. His
offense then automatically came
under military Jurisdiction. Hence,
the court-martial.
This is taken from a true case.

in giving absolute isolation to a

communication with the shore was
cut off. When supplies were
taken to the island they were left
on the dock; only after the boat
which brought them had left did
the men on the island come down
and get them.
