Japan to Continue
Bombing of Railway

TOXIC. Feb. 6 R).-The Japa-
nese Army will continue attacks on
the French-operated Hanoi-Kun-
ming railway in Southwestern
China as long as there is mill
tary necessity" foreign Office
spokesman declared yesterday.
The spokesman, Yakichiro Suma,
spoke as France was lodging a pro-
test over bombing of the line Thurs
day and after the United States had
made representations about previous
bombings.
Although Thursdays bombing, in
which the French said five French
men were killed and several mon
Chinese" wounded, provoked a stiff
ened French attitude which bull
warked the American representa-
tions, Suma said the Toxic govern
ment fully indorses" the operations
against the railway.
Suma denied that undisciplined
military authorities were responsible
for the raids. Japan was believed
to be insisting that the railway is
a legitimate military objective be-
cause it is main munitions supply
line for Chungking. The French
deny this.
Suma at his press conference said
Eugene H. Dooman, Charge DAT
faires at the United States Embassy,
had delivered a note last Thursday
charging that previous air attacks
on the railway had endangered
American shipments and "inconven-
fenced" Americans living at Chung
king.
"The American representations, 4"
said Suma, contain many points
which the government is studying
from legalistic viewpoint"

Accords With Italy
Seen PorIey Result

BELGRADE, Feb. 6 R.-South-
easternEuropean diplomats said last
night they expected individual Bal
kan nations would open negotiations
shortly in an effort to conclude BIZ
lateral pacts with Italy in an effort
to preserve peace in this area.
Despite statements that the men,
bers of the Balkan entente-Ru-
mania, Greece, Yugoslavia and
Turkey-had agreed on a common
front" at the conference concluded
yesterday, diplomats said they ap-
parently had failed to decide upon
any mode of joint action.
In view of this belief, observers
asserted there was reason" to as
sumo that Premier Mussolini's gov
ernment would be ready to negotiate
separate accords with each of the
entente powers, as well as Hungary
and Bulgaria, in order to achieve
directly or indirectly the union
which the southeastern nations ap-
pear to bring about themselves.
The possibility of such negotia-
tions was conceded by the confer
ence when it gave free hand to its
members to negotiate their own
problems.
Such bi-lateral pacts, it was
pointed out, would conform with
Premier Mussolini's constant policy
of individual settlement of affairs
in preference to a loose system of
collective security among nations
having widely divergent interests,
such as the members Of the entente.
Premier Dragisa Cvetkovic of
Yugolsalvia announced today that
Commerce Minister Ivan Address
would go to Sofia in an attempt to
stimulate Observation-Disclosures trade.
This was understood to be the first
step in the Balkan Entente's plan
to create economic neutrality" in

Entente's Policy

And Bulgaria
Explorations Demanded
Of Safeguards for
National Territory
By the Associated Press.

oS tiu hSSOClhLCO GAGoos
BUDAPEST, Feb. 6.-Hungary and
Bulgaria today indicated vigorous
opposition to the Balkan Entente's S
newly-proclaimed policy Of "safe-
guarding national territory" by de-
manding explanations as to whether
this phrase means upholding the
present boundaries Of Southeastern
Europe.
The two nations, which have been
campaigning for peaceful settlement
Of their claims on Rumania for ter
ritories they lost to her in the World
War settlement, undertook to learn
from the foreign Offices of the
entente whether it had undertaken
to resist all possibility of territorial
concessions.
The entente-Rumania, Yugo-
slavia, Greece and Turkey-con-
cluded a three-day conference at
Belgrade Sunday.
Unity Of Four States Shown.
The Rumanian press declared the
entente showed "the four states
truly were in unity in case of war;
and "this will have a good influence
on Bulgaria and Hungary, perhaps
persuading them to join the Balkan
bloc since their pretensions are post
poned till after the great powers
war"
The Yugoslav, Greek and Turkish
press almost unanimously hailed the
o,foy,to a g ,,p}tol ctrorrf1
However, a four-column editorial
in the semi official Hungarian news
paper Poster Lloyd, which often re-
fleets Hungarian foreign policy,
bitterly attacked the ententes ter
ritorial stand. At Belgrade the en-
tente members agreed to watch
over the territorial rights of an
other.
Little Entente Recalled.
The Belgrade conference. Poster
Lloyd said, recalls dangerously the
spirit of the Little Entente"-Czecho-
Slovakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania
ended by Germany's conquests.
The newspaper demanded to know
whether Rumania's national ter
ritory" included Pennsylvania with
Hungarian minority Of nearly
1000, ,0OO."
If the entente guaranteed Ru-
mania's Pennsylvania border, Poster
Lloyd declared, ut is useless to
waste one word over starting dis
cussions" with the power over Hum
gary's claims.
Hungarian governmental sources
confirmed that resentment was felt
at the "ambiguously phrased' terri
torial policy adopted by the en-
tente. They said the individual
countries had been asked for an
exact definition of question.
Hungary's disappointment was
echoed by Bulgaria. Sofia newspa-
pers were permitted by government
censorship to declare that the con-
ference failed because the question
of revision was postponed although,
it must be discussed in order to
bring about true peace in South
eastern Europe"
