While Governor Comstock was trying to speed up the Michigan legislature, Ilenry Ford and his son Edsel came to the rescue of the First National and Guardian National banks of Detroit with a plan to put up of their private funds and create two new banks that would take over the two mentioned, enabling their depositors- to receive immediately 30 per cent of their deposits. It was expected that New York bankers would grant a loan of $20,000,000 to the First National and that thereupon it would receive $54,000,000 from the Reconstruction Finance corporation. But the New Yorkers who never did like Ford held back and the result was that the plan was delayed In execution and material changes were necessary.

Suddenly Japan Pushing China Out of Jeliol Turmoil, in Germany. ' . By EDWARD W. PICKARD TAKING the oath of office of the Supreme court and bowing his head to kiss a Dutch Bible, Franklin Delano Koosevelt became the' thirty-seconPresident of the United States. His lips were pressed on the open page where was Pauls admonition to by Chief Justioe-Hughe- s d the- - Corinthians closabid- - And now ing: efh faith, hope and .charity, these, three; but the greatest, of these is charity. Turning then-t- face the cheering thousands of his fellow citizens,- most-lDemocrats, Mr. Roosevelt told them briefly, 'why he had faith and 'hope in his plans for the new deal that he had promised the never country. The charity that faileth will combine with the trust of the people in "their new Chief tive in the movement upward from the . depths. In his 'demeanor and .words 'the new President showed how deeply he was affected by the sudden death- Of the man he had named as his attorney n general Thomas J. Walsh, the senator from' Montana. . Though . facirly colorful, the augural ceremonies were somewhat restricted by Mr. Roosevelts determination that economy should be practiced. The parade, for instance, was kept down so- that it passed the restandin about two hours. viewing But it was a-- fine procession, led by General MacArthur, chief of staff, as grand, marshal. .He acted in- that capacity becapse General Pershing was kept in Arizona by illness. In the evening the inaugural' ball, main social event though unofficial, was a gorgeous affair. It was managed by Mrs.. John J. Dougherty and the large proceeds were turned over to charity. President' Roosevelt was not present, but his wife and (daughter Anna graced the occasion. Mr. Hoover .and Mr. Roosevelt drove together from the White House to the Capitol in an open car for the inauguration, and their wives followed in 'another machine. The first event was the swearing in Qf John Nance Garner as Vice President, this taking place in the senate chamber. Then everybody 'went out to the stands Ln front of the Capitol where Mr. Roosevelt took the oath of office. When this was over, Mr. and Sirs. Hoover-drovquickly to the Union station .and tooji train for New York. y - vet--qra- - - e PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS cabinet by death even before it entered upon its duties. Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who had just resigned as senator to 'become the new attorney general, passed away on an Atlantic Coast line train near Wilson, N. C., as he was on his way from Flor- ida to Washington. Ilis death was sudden arid was a great shock to his official associates and his multitude of 'friends. He was married only a few days before in Havana, Cuba, to Senora Nieves Chaumont de Truffin, a wealthy widow, and she was with him at the time of his demise. Senator Walsh, Who was seventy-thre- e years .old, was born in Two Rivers, Wis. When he resigned he was serving his fourth term in the senate, in which body he served his country ably and faithfully, lie was ered one of the leading authorities on the Constitution. Walsh was permanent chairman of the Democratic national conventions of 1924 and 1932. . - problems MOST immediate ofof the State Cordell Secretary Hull is the einbroglio, which now is really a full approval the State e department already had sent a note to Geneva expressing general accord with the League of Nations action in condemning the Japanese military policy in Manchuria. Though this action was profoundly disturbing to the Tokyo government, Japan went right ahead with its campaign for the conquest of the Chinese province of Jehol. The governor of the province, Tang Yu-limustered all available forces for defense hut his troops were steadily driven back by the thoroughly trained and. equipped Japanese columns that were advancing on three lines toward the city of Jehol. Great Britain followed up the action of Nations by declaring of the an arms embargo against both Japan and China, Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon explaining that his government would under no circumstances be drawn Into the conflict and did not favor one against the other. Both China and Japan resented this, though it was apparent to every one that, as Senator Borah said, to put an arms embargo on China and Japan Is to take sides with Japan under the . .. conditions and circumstances that exist. The British openly hoped that the 'United States would join ln the embargo policy, but there is strong opposition to this among the members of congress. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois voiced this opposition in a speech in the senate, warning the nation that application of an embargo against both China and Japan or against Japan alone might Involve us in another disastrous foreign .war." He told his colleagues that Britain already pas sold all the arms to both nations they can pay-for- , and in addition has sold them the machinery with which munitions can be manu- factured. One. of ... - the peculiar angles of the Japanese Invasion of Jehol Is that if It succeeds it may prove disastrous to the cause of Communism In China. It would threaten Russia's last Impor- tant channel of transport afid com- munication with China and virtually close the Communist Inte'rnationales connections with th'e Chinese Reds. Dispatches from Latvia say the Russian munition plants at Leningrad are working day arid night to produce guns and munitions for the Chinese ' ' government. inaugura-- .

Some time ago William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, said that organization was deeply .disappointed by Mr. Roosevelts selection of Miss Perkins.

The defendants are charged with using the mails to defraud. The indictment is based on alleged false pretenses, 'representations and prom-- , ises made- to prospective investors in the common stock of the Corporation Securities company. The defendants engaged In a nation-wid- e campaign of selling this stock through Halsey, Stuart & Co., Utility Securities company, Insull, Son & Co., Corporation Syndicate company and others, the indictment charges. It is charged that the defendants represented to investors that they would find a safety of principal in their investment because of the great physical properties of the company when, in fact, there were no great physical properties and the security back of the common stock was worthless. The investors were told, according to the true bill, that the yield on the stock would be 6 per cent or more when, in fact, there could be no income on the stock by reason of the fact that the company operated at a loss throughout its existence." "This indictment is only the beginning," said United States Attorney Dwight II. Green. "I propose to investigate fully all the ramifications of Insull empire, its creathe tors and sponsors."

One young Dutch Red was arrested and confessed to setting the blaze. The occurrence was seized upon by Chancellor Hitler and his government as an opportunity to destroy the Communist party, and action was swift and drastic.- Capt. William Goering, Nazi minister without portfolio and virtual ruler of Prussia, first ordered the arrest of one hundred Red members of the reichstag and suppressed the entire Leftist press. Then, as rumors of a Communist plot to overthrow the government spread, President Von issued a decree annulling all constitutional liberties of private citizens, including free speech and free press, the right of assembly and the secrecy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications. The decree empowered the federal government to take over executive power in stales that fail to enforce law and order; and the death penalty was ordered for attempts on the lives of the President and members of the federal and state cabinets, carrying arms during rioting, political kidnaping, high- treason, poisoning, arson, explosions damaging railways and plundering. A government spokesman said that the decree was drafted after police had discovered evidence in the cellars of the Karl Liebknecht house, Communist headquarters in Berlin, and ln other raids that the Reds were planning wholesale assassinations of members of Hitlers government, besides Intending to kidnap women and children as hostages for political purposes and to poison wells and food.

For a small fishing village,- - hiding behind fortifying walls for protection against the inroads of Japanese pirates (aided frequently by Chinese of the same calling), and doing only a limited amount of trade with coastal junks, to expand and become the fifth largest seaport of the world In less than 90 years Is no mean accomplishment ln any land; but In China this transition is an even greater marvel. To find the reason for this remarkable transformation, one need not search far. A glance at the geography of its position reveals why Shanghai should logically take, rank as Chinas . key- geaport. Ideal Distributing Center; Its situation, approximately midway along the Cliina coast, makes It at once the most natural distributing center for extensive trade with coastal ports; but of far greater Importance IS the fact that Shanghai commands the vital position for commerce at the very outlet of the whole Yangtze river system. In all the world It is doubtful whether there is another equally extensive region of wealth where the people depend as solely upon a single artery of traffic and upon one entrepot as do the Inhabitants of the Yangtze basin. Approximately 200,000,000 people, half of the population of entire China, live In this fertile area, utilizing the river, its tributaries, and its network of canals as their chief means of comTheir needs, munication. beyond those supplied directly or Indirectly by the products of their own hands, make business for Shanghai. As ones steamer cleaves the muddy Yangtze waters and enters the Whang-po- o on the approach of Shanghai, there is little to indicate that one is entering China unless a fleet of native fishing junks happens to be moving out to sea at the time. Today the skyline that marks Shanghais water front is decidedly occidental In appearance and most strikingly impressive an effect due In part, perhaps, to Its contrast with the flat alluvial plain rather than to the actual heights of the buildings. Until the century, low, commodious present Chinese buildings of structures served a majority of the business concerns; but the Introduction of excellently equipped modern offices has initiated a period of extensive building. In a few minutes walk from the most districts of Shanghai, however, one can be In surroundings that are little altered since the day when the first foreign firm marked out Its business site in the muddy concession.

This district, before the recent bombardments, was somewhnt more modern and progressive than the Native City region. Here, In Chapel, were located large Chinese business concerns devoted to exporting and Importing. Here had sprung up offices, factories, and printing establishments, among the last named the Commercial Press, largest publishing concern ln China, valued at one and a quarter million dollars. But the focus of all Shanghai Is the foreign settlements, for In them have bepn the remarkable Incentive and expanding force, that have built this modern seaport First allotted a portion of land on the south side of w creek, following the Treaty of Nanking, In 1842, when Shangahl was Indicated as one of the five treaty ports, British business established itself nnd expanded, digging drains and filling canals to make the concession habitable. ; - Soot-ho- Foreign Settlements.

The French chose to remain apart and today continue to adnflnster their own concession as a separate unit. g The years have seen a panorama since the early days when the International territorial fusion came Into being, received nourishment, and became what has often been termed The Model Settlement. The administration of the International Settlement has been ln many ways a unique experiment, perhaps without parallel ln any other place; and results make It evident that the Shanghai municipal council has served the settlement well. The council Is composed of a group of members elected by the taxpayers of British, American, Japanese, and, more recently, Chinese nationality.
