Tokyo Picks Honda As
 Ranking Envoy
Advocate of Anti-U. s. Stand Is Expected to Promote
 East Asia Policy
By Hugh Byas
(New York Times)

TOKYO - Kumataro Honda, former Ambassador to Germany was appointed Ambassador to Nanking succeeding former Pre- mier Nobuyuki Abe. He was sell ected by Foreign Minister Yos- uke Matsuoka because the latter considers him an expert on Chm ese affairs. The press recognizes the appointment as one ot hrst- rate importance because of MT. Honda's forceful qualities, rela- tions with the fighting services, and imperialist opinions.
 "When a man of MT. Honda's caliber gocs to China the Japan csc Embassy in Nanking will be- come the headquarters of Japan's Chinese policy and Japan's East Asia policies will gradually be carried out, says the newspaper Asahi.
 Mir. Honda who is 67 years old, r. signed from the diplomatic ser vice in 1926 and has been eXtrem ely active behind the scenes. Re garded as an able but bitter con- troversialist, he has been a wig orous advocate of the pro-AXis policy and ruth ess opponent of efforts to conciliate the United States and Britain. He demands a strong policy toward the United States, which he believe bluffs Japan with diplomatic threats because, hs declares, "the United States has neither the confidence nor the power 10 command the respect of Nippon.o

Court Upholds
Fuel Oil Tax

OLYMPIA-The state supreme
court Thursday upheld eonstitu-
tionslity Of the 1887 fuel oil tax,
handing down decisions In AZ
cases which saved the state from
refunding s2.250. 900 In taxes and
losing s2.0o0.000 a year In future
tax income
The high court reversed its
prior ruling which hid the
1899 petroleum products tax
was Illegal because n was
aimed against fuel oil hut not
against such competitive
products - coal. wood, coke
and sawdust.
Thursdays decisions held that
"untaxed solid fuels have uses
other than fuels. There are many
sound reasons for differentisting
oil fuel from solid fuel" The
court said its physical form WAS
different, as was its chemical
composition. methods of use a.
fuel and vending methods.
The state may eonstitutionally
tax one class and exempt other
classes II the classification reason
ably tends. IN some lawful way,
tn facilitate the raising OF
revenue" the court held.

out OF the beans and eventually hatch into
