Comedy at Nunkinq

Japan has duly recognized" its
puppet regime at Nanking headed by
Wang Ching-wei, and has signed a
formal treaty plus collateral agree
ments of an economic nature. In
these interesting documents, the
Wang outfit is considered the ma
tional government Of China, is gra-
ciously conceded conditional tariff
and fiscal autonomy, and is promised
many other favors when the present
unfortunate incident" with the
"rebel" Chang Kai-shek is liquidated.
In return, Japan gets from Wang
recognition of special sphere" in
North China and Inner Mongolia,
enlarged economic rights through
out China, and Markings acceptance
of China's role as a co-defender Of
East Asia against all opponents and
as a subordinate partner in Japan's
Far Eastern new order"
OF course, the whole show was
clearly labeled Made in Japan" The
national government at Chungking
promptly termed it an illegal farce,
branded Wang Ching-wei as an
arbitrator, and offered a reward
of 100000 Chinese dollars for his
capture, dead or alive. Britain gave
the business the cold shoulder by
terSely announcing that 1t continued
to recognize Chang Kai-shek. AS for
our own Government, it showed its
attitude by three emphatic gestures
whose meaning was unmistakable.
The White House announced that 1t
was granting Chungking another
credit of S5O,OOO,OOO for general pur-
poses and was planning a supple
mentary credit of S50,000,000 to sup
port the Chinese Nationalist cur
rency. At the same time, the State
Department recalled Secretary Hull's
statement made last March that the
United States would continue to rec
ognize Chungking as the lawful gov
ernment Of China supported by the
great majority of its people. An
nexed to the White House announce
ment was a letter from Federal Loan
Administra tor Jesse Jones to the
President stating that China is up to
her schedule in deliveries of wood
oil, tin, wolfranlite and other COM
modities through which Chungking
is liquidating previous loans for mu-
nitions and supplies. This indicates
that the Burma road Is functioning
we'll despite japanese airplane bomb
ings.
Though the ceremony at Marking
is, by itself, little more than a diplo-
matte joke, it has its serious, perhaps
ominous side. Japan seemingly has
lost all hope of negotiating a compro-
mise with Chang Kai-shek and by
recognizing its puppet Wang has
burned its potential bridges toward
a policy of reconciliation with the
national government of China. Fur
thermore, the emphatic reaction OF
our Government, giving more aid to
the Nationalists, enhances the ten
sion between us and Japan. 1t is to
be especially noted that Domei, the
official Japanese news agency, says
that the new agreement established
cooperation against powers who
oppose the new order in East ASIA"
specifically mentions the United
States and Britain among those hos
tile powers, and singles out the
United States as the power against
which Japan and Nanking may have
to take drastic measures. If this
yelled threat be taken at its face
value, a major crisis in Japanese
American relations may not be far
away.

With many outstanding features
planned, the promoters of the
Homecoming Dance at st. Paul
Auditorium Saturday night, Octo-
Der &c, announced they had secured
the services of Southern Serenad-
ers to supply music for the gala

will be the motif, with favors, SOU
venirs, decorations, tables and all,
to make the affair attractive.
Motion pictures of the dance will
be taken. Many visitors from Iowa,
who will attend the game between
Minnesota and Iowa Saturday af-
ternoon, will stay over for the
dance. An attempt will be made to
have a star Iowa player attend the
affair.
In addition to a valuable door
prize, a floor show will be offered
for the entertainment of the crowd.
Table service will be available.

man of the campaign, has appealed
to every citizen of Minneapolis for
the support of the drive this year.

people are not adequately met"
