November Japan Charges With Helping China AccoFding t6 a recent dispatch Japan threatens to sever diplomatic relations with Great Britain unless the British “reconsider” their attitude and discontinue their present doings" in the far cast This while not credited to (he official 'government is nevertheless the unanimous conclusion of the “council on the current situation” a group of 100 eminent military officials and members of both houses of parliament Japan is apparently much concerned With the unmistakable bias of Great Britain In favor of the Chinese It has been no secret from the outset of the war that public opinion in Great Britain The has been increasingly reasons for this growing sentiment are not hard to find In the first place China has long been the victim of Japanese aggression Then too Japan is a commercial rival of Britain and a major world power The in Great present state of 'overt Britain however is due to the killing of three British soldiers by Japanese troops at Shanghai a few days ago an unfortunate episode which followed closely upon the wounding of Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugesse- n British ambassador to China In the resolution just made public Japan charges that Great Britain is actively assisting China It is claimed that munitions for the Chinese are being distributed through Hongkong the British crown colony on the southern China coast It also is charged that Great Eritain has more of less maliciously “fostered” a report that Japanese' fliers killed 2000 Chinese in Canton The resolution also sets forth that British propaganda is largely responsible for the recent growth of feeling in the United States Most significant of all the charges leveled at Great Britain however is the Charge that Britain has been the main “driving force” in bringing about the convocation of the Brussels pact conference a move which the Japanese fear may result in the intervention of other powers in the far east Whether or not this veiled threat to sever “years of friendly diplomatic relations" with Great Britain is a bid for sympathy or a genuine throwing down of the gauntlet remains to be seen The recent Chinese successes in the far east and the rapid growth of feeling throughout the world incline us to believe that Japan is probably trying to explain failure to achieve a away her striking r prompt and decisive1 victory over her

ancient and discredited scheme upon the Cheese Shop Luxe Upper Park avenue is to have a de luxe cheese shop a miniature Taj Mahal dealing only in various brands of cheese domestic and foreign For the past few years the metropolis has been showing a growing cheese consciousness In the finest restaurants the displays on the portable tables are works Many eating places Holland fashion also list

the benefit of labor and governmental control of agriculture for the benefit of the farmer From the beginning these two classes have been the chief new deal concern It has been the dream of the new deal strategists to weld the farmers and laborers into an invincible political alliance and Mr Roosevelt has catered to them as has no other president The impression has been created that this effort to carry the “more abundant life” to the farmer and laborer is an original Roosevelt Invention an inspired idea one of those great In ' people's dollar's ?
