Senator Raps
i. S. Citizens
Aid to Japan
Women Democrats
Told Nine.POwer
Treaty Violated

The problem of determining our
future course of action with Japan
after expiration on January 26 of
the United States-Japanese treaty
Of commerce and amity is question
of whether or not we shall con-
tinue to assist Japan in the pros
ecution of its aggressive war against
China in violation of the nine
power agreement Of 1922, Senator
Schwellenbach, Democrat, of WASH
1ngton declared last night.
Speaking before the Woman's
National Democratic Club, Senator
Schwellenbach, a member Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, declared the meat" of the nine
power pact was the agreement by
the contracting parties, other than
China, to respect the sovereignty,
the independence and the terri
torial and administrative integrity
of China. No one can deny, he con-
tinued, that Japan, both in the
Manchurian incident and in the
war since the summer Of 1887, has
Oeel dIIdChlllB CIlcSc.
Citizens Seen Aiding Japan.
The Senator took the position
that since 1887, while our Govern
ment has at all times automatically
supported our position, our citizens,
for profit, have actively partici-
pated" in Japan's attack upon the
territorial integrity of China by
supplying important war materials
to Japan.
That is just as important a vio-
lation of the treaty as could have
been accomplished had We provided
a military expeditionary force" he
declared.
After January 26,' he continued,
''the opportunity will have come to
wash from our hands the stain OF
our violation of this agreement. II
we speak seriously, if we really are
motivated by good faith, we can do
no less than to stop participating
In this Chinese-Japanese war"
Cites Violation of Treaties.
Earlier Senator SchWellenbach
had stated that the last decade re-
suited in a new low in international
morality. Wars waged during that
period have been almost without
exception in violation of treaties OF
security upon which the smaller
nations had right to rely, he as
serted.
During the 1e2os the more power
full nations of the world assumed
a more definite responsibility and
obligation than they had ever be-
fore assumed in worlds history, he
continued, and added: Almost with

All cars entered in the derby race

must be strictly stock. All winning
cars Will be checked immediately

The third Tin LIZZIE Derby to be

There were two explanations OF
the champions poor showing
against challenger who had beelN
considered unfit TO carry his ring

him "head-shy', lacking the men

Surprisingly. Godoy - who had
been slated TO be executed quickly
and ruthleSSly-forccd the fighting
in every round except the 14th.
That was the session in which he
danced Sneeringly about the ring,
like a Chilean Make Baer, beckon-
ing Louis to come in and fight
demanding that the KILLER who
had knocked out the last seven OF
his previous eight title challengers,
come in and Lead. This made
