The President was o encouraged encour-aged that on the way back to Washington Wash-ington he made back platform speeches In ten towns In Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Democracy's glee was caused by the reconciliation between Franklin D. Roosevelt, Its Presidential candidate, candi-date, and Al Smith, who had been holding rather aloof In the campaign. cam-paign. The hatchet was burled In the New York state Democratic convention where both Roosevelt and Smith were . fighting to bring about the nomination of Herbert D. Lehman for governor against the stubborn opposition of Tammany Hall leaders. Going to the platform to place Lehman In nomination. Smith grasped the hand of his old rlend with a smiling "Hello, Frank," and the governor responded with cordiality as the cameras of the press photographers clicked madly and the crowd yelled approval. Roosevelt said: "Al, this Is from the heart." And Al replied: "Frank, that goes with me, too." Tammany Hall was utterly defeated de-feated and Lehman was nominated, with W. M.

Othei ministers agreed that It was un worthy of Japan' serious attention and the cabinet then made this curt announcement : "The government Sec'y Stlmson has decided that the Lytton report does not constitute consti-tute cause to alter Its Manchurian policy." Various responsible leaders In Japan Ja-pan gave notice that their country would continue Its domination of Manchukuo, and the world wonders Just what the League of Nations can and will do about it. The Japanese war office Issued a statement declaring declar-ing that if the league acts to the spirit of the Lytton report. Japan will have no alternative but to withdraw from the league and op pose Its action with the firmest determination. de-termination. France has shown decided de-cided sympathy with Japan In the controversy and Great P.rltain has , been rather lukewarm in her frlend-j frlend-j ship for China.

The Lytton report, insisting, "less on the responsibility for past actions ac-tions than on the necessity of finding find-ing means to prevent their repetition," repeti-tion," calls for the establishment of an autonomous demilitarized Manchuria Man-churia under Chinese sovereignty. The details of Its status are to be agreed upon at an advisory Slno-Japanese Slno-Japanese conference following the recommendations of the league and with the league council sitting as arbiter. It holds up practically to ridicule the Mukden Incident of September 18, 1931. over which Japan Jumped off to the occupation of Manchuria. It Intimates that the whole thing was planned. "But even In Japan," says the report re-port Ina tart passage, "appropriate means must be found for attainment of every end."
