Sino-Jdp Peace
Hope Shattered
By Puppet Envoy
BY ALFRED DOWNS
IntI News Service staff Correspondent

TOXIC, May 10.-Any hopes
that Sino-Japanese peace might
grow out of the recent Soviet
japanese friendship pact were
shattered today by Ambassador
Kumataro Honda. the Japanese
envoy to the Marking Chinese gov
eminent which Japan recognizes.
Returning from his post in Man.
king. Honda told the Japanese
Nichi Nichi newspapers that the
only means by which peace could
be restored in China would be the
overthrow of the regime of Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-Shek and d
sterilization of the Chimes c
peoples under the consolidation of
the Marking government"
Any talk favoring direct nego-
tiations with the Chungking gov
eminent of Chang Kai-Shek was
branded by Honda a mere "illu-
sion" Any such negotiations. he
pointed out TO the Nichi Nichi
newspapers, would reduce Japan's
treaty of recognition with the
rival king government, a
treaty which Emperor Hirohito
himself has ratified. 10 a mere
scrap of paper"
Although Chang Kai-Shek is
now weary Of the fighting" he
has no intention of concluding a
peace with Japan and places high
reliance. Honda reported. in aid
TO come from the United States.
Some Japanese beliefs that dis
affection between Chang kai-
Shek's government and the Com
muniSt armies in China will lead
10 total eStrangement and China
collapse in subsequent civil war
Is nothing less than sheer, wish
ful thinking" Honda declared.

Moy Go to Arkansas

Both senators advised the Leg
islature that bill has been intro
duced in Washington to deny
Michigan the extra seat, and give
il to Arkansas.
The senator's pointed out that
il might be hazardous TO reap
portion congressional representa-
ton in Michigan until the issue is
finally decided in Congress.
Outstate epub leans are
pleased that they have this ex-
cuse for denying the new seat 10
the metropolis.

Empty Congress Seat
Blocked for Detroit
Legislature Continues 'Knife-City'
Drive After School Fund Gouge
BY FRANK MORRIS
Times staff Correspondent

LANSING, May 10.-Although
admitting that Wayne County is
entitled to Michigan's new con-
gressional district, the Legislature
is unwilling to give the seat to the
metropolitan area, it developed
today.
Instead, Michigan voters in 1912
probably will elect a congressman
at-large. thus giving Republicans
an advantage they would not
enjoy if the district were assigned
to Wayne. where it rightfully be-
longs.

Concession to COP

The other plan, submitted by
Democrats, is more simple and is
concession to the Republican
Party. Submitted by Rep. Will
ham Buckley. chairman of the
Wayne delegation. il proposes slic-
ing the Wayne end from the Sew
enteenth District, which now in
cludeS Oakland County.
Under this plan. Oakland would
become a separate district, and
the new district would be made
up of the Twenty-Second Ward
and several townships. This area
is a COP stronghold.
DIR. Edward F. Fisher (R) of
Dearborn, chairman of the appor-
tionment committee, would like to
report a bill giving Wayne the
new congressman. But apparently
he rs outVoted.
The one substantial argument
by the outstate majority in advo-
eating a congressman-at-large is
a statement by United States
Senators Arthur +. Vandenberg
and PrentiSs NJ. Brown that the
matter may not be a settled issue
in ConpreSS

Still Knitting Detroit

The scheme is in line with the
legislative policy of knitting De-
troit. The city is certain to take
terrific beating when the law
makers distribute state aid 10 local
governments for schools and other
purposes. 1t has been denied the
representation in Lansing supposed
to be guaranteed by the consti-
tuition.
So the lawmakers, especially the
Republican majority which looks
askance at Democratic victories
in Wayne, are asking themselves
why they should give Wayne an
other congressman when the
county already has five and a toe
hold on sixth.
lnasmuch as population figures
prove that Wayne should have
the new district. two plans have
been submitted TO the House of
Representatives.
The Republican idea is TO erase
all congressional district bounda-
ries and start anew in the hope of
segregatlng strong Democratic
areas from strong COP areas. All
five Detroit districts are now
Democratic. and Republicans hope
by scrambling the boundaries 10
win two of the proposed areas.

Hands Barnard to COP

Gov. Murray d. Van Wagner
had an extremely pleasant morn
ing Friday when he gave Edward
y. Barnard back TO the Republic
can Party as boss of Wayne
County.
On his desk lay the COP bill
to discontinue county conventions
in Wayne and providing that each
Congressional district shall meet
separately. The purpose was TO
break Barnard's hold, which has
been pretty firm for the last Is
years.
The governor politely thumbed
his nose at the Republican ma
iority in the Legislature by send
ing veto message saying:
This proposed change in the
mechanics for selection OF dele
gates does not get at the heart
Of the problem, but simply per-
mlts political bosses to exert
their control In a different
manner.
The real problem Is one of
good party leadership and re-
sistance by good party member
ship to undue political
domination. You cannot create
leadership or consciousness
by legislation"
The governor must have laughed
when he signed that message TO
the Republican lawmakers who
will be out to lick him next year.
Van Wagner has a hearty laugh.
In all of Michigan's history. only
one governor has had as stirring
a laugh. That was Bill Comstock.
The veto will stand. An attempt
may be made to override it. but
Republicans have not enough votes.
