TIENTSIN , Monday ( R ) . —

Discrimination against British sub-

j ects, who are being subjected toindignities and harsh treatment atthe hands of Japanese troops, con-tinued today to mark the blockadeof the British Concession here.

An iassurar.ee that the blockadedi3 not affect American!*, but wasentirely directed (against the BritishConcession which was alleged to haveserved as ati "agency" of the Kuomin-tang Government, was made todayby the Japanese military authoritiesat: Tientsin*

The statement branded the Britishallegation that the Japanese claimsaffected the rights of all Powers hav-ing treaty rights in China as an at-tempt "to induce the United Statesto pull the chestnuts out of the fire ;"the blockade was not directed againstany other country, least of all 1against the United States.

It was announced it hat the 30-milebarbed-wire barricades around theConcession would be electrified to-night. Members of the Special Serv-ice section of the Japanese Army to-day distributed circulars among theChinese members cf the British Mu-nicipal Police, threatening that un-less they left the Concession service ,^action would be taken against themand their families." Mr. E.G. Ja-micron, the British ConsuHlenerai,has lodged a strong protest with theJapanese authorities.

The Consul-General aiked Britishresidents today not to leave the Con.cession unless it was vitual l y ne-cessary. The Japanese Consul-Gener-al has rejected the British requestfor a relaxation of the examinationand search of provisions in tran 'it tothe Concession.

Two British subjects reported to theConsulate-General today that thev werestripped of all their clothin g by theJapanese searching parties and werethen submitted to the most obscenedegradations. Afterwards their clotheswere handed to them outside the roomin which the search was made , and they'had to dress in full view of Chinesestanding near by.

Report s from Tokyo said that'hopes of a settlement had been'raised there by the issue of a semi-official statement which narroweddown the issue involved and dealtexclusively wit h Tientsin and. withthe attitude of the British auth ori ties'towards the four Chine:e suspected1by the Japanese of terrorism.

U.S. UR GED TO STAND BYThe United States are urged in an edi-

torial article in the "Shanghai Even-ing Post", the onl y American news-paper in that city, to stand by GreatBritain and France on the Tientsinquestion. The paper wTarns that 'failure to cooperate on the technicalground that America has no ter-ritorial interest in Tientsin would on-ly encourage the Japanese to takesimilar action later in Shanghai.

The Japanese Ambassador to Lon-don was received by Lord Halifax atthe Foreign Office this evening,'while the American Charge d'Affair-es at Tokyo called at the Japanese'Foreign Office to exchange informa-tion with Mr. Yoshizawa, Chief oftihe American Affairs Department.

U.S. CONCERN IM FAR EASTDEVELOP MENT S

WASHINGTON , Monday (R). —'Mr. Cordell Hull has formally ex-pressed the concern of the United'States at the "broader aspects" ofdevelopments in Tientsin in regardto which the Government T o'oser-ing "with special interest all relateddevelop me nig in China. *'

Mr. Hull revealed th at the Americ-an Charge d'Affaires in Tokyo hadsuggested before the blockade tha tthe good offices of the U.S. Consulin Tientsin be used to mediate in'the controversy over the four'Chinee.

TOKYO, Monday (R) . — The al-leged action of the British gunboatScarab in landing 150 cases of goodsat Wuhu , up the Yangtse river fromNanking, today evoked a vigorousprotest from the Japanese authori-ties to the British naval authoritiesin Shanghai.

Japanese Military Headquarters atNanking stated that the crew of the'Scarab "intimidated" J apanese of-ficers and men, who had tried to in-terfere, by training machine-guns atthem. Apologies and a guaranteeagainst the recurrence of similar in-cidents were demanded.

Diplomatic negotiations are likelyto be resumed with regard to theblockade at Kulangsu, the Interna-tional Settlement on the island op-posite the treaty port of Amoy, towhich the Japanese Consul has nowreturned from Tokyo. The DomeiAgency, in forecasting the Consul-General's negotiations with theforeign consular bodies, stated thatthe Tokyo Government had upheldthe attitude of the local Japaneseauthorities.

An international food committeeis being formed by the British , Ame-rican and French authorities to ar-range for the importation of foodsupplies from foreign ships in viewof the state of blockade at Kulang-'su„

LONDON, Monday (R) . —British de fa cto recognition of thepresent position in Bohemia andMoravia was revealed in the Houseof Commons this afternoon whenMr. R. A. Butler, the Foreign Un-der-Secretary, told a questionerthat the British Ambassador inBerlin had been instructed to makeapplication to the German Govern-ment for an Exequatur for a Con-sulate-General in Prague.

Mr. Butler said that while theGovernment realised that this stepimplied de facto recognition of thepresent position of Bohemia and Mo-ravia , it did not involve a modifica-tion of the Government's views onthis question.

Before taking the decision the Gov-ernment had communicated withother interested Government, includ-ing France, the United States, Rus-sia and Poland.

Lt.-Com. Fletcher suggested thatthis was recognition of the legalityof the annexation.

Mr. Butler said , "No," adding thatthe Government had stated that theyregarded the annexation as devoid ofany basis of legality.

("Unrest in Prague" — on page 3).

POINTS OUTSTANDINGLONDON, Monday (R).— That

there were several other points re-maining to be settled in the Anglo-Soviet discussions proceeding atMoscow was revealed by Mr. Cham-berlain in Parliament this afternoon.

The reply v/as made when Mr.David Adams asked whether therewere any difficulties outstandin g be-sides the position of the Baltic States.The Prime Minister added that thediscussions were still going on.

On the day the White Paper waspublished the Executive of theJewish Agency, in its statement ,unmasked Great Britain 's betrayalof the international obligations to-wards the Jewish people , indicatedthe dangers inherent in the newPolicy for the Jewish People andfor the peace of the country, andtraced the line of action , both ofthe Jewish Community and theJewish people as a whole, in theirstru ggle against this Policy.

This line of action the Executive hasplaced , in more concrete and de-tailed form , before the GeneralZionist Council and it has been ap-proved.

This line must be followed, withoutswerving to the right or left .

The Executive is convinced that thepolicy laid down in the White Pa-per will not be carried out if theYishuv and the Jewish People op-pose it with constancy, courageand wisdom.

The Jewish Delegation to the Lon-don Conferences let it be knownwhile still in London that the Jew-ish People rejected this new Pol-icy and would have no part in itsimplementing. But the Jewish

MAC DONA LD FLYING BACKTO GENEVA

GENEVA , Monday (BOWP).While no official statement wasissued after the meeting of thePermanent Mandates Commissionon "Saturday, it is understood thatthe examination of Mr. MalcolmMacDonald , revealed no indicationthat the Commission had prejudic-ed the question.

In spite of differences of opinion,the examination of the British pro-posals is stated to have been calmand objectivewMr. MacDonald is to fly back to

Geneva late today to attend a fur-ther meeting of the Mandates Com-mission tomorrow, if it should bethought necessary. His examinationat Saturday's two sessions lasted7i hours.

Closer cooperation between GreatBritain and France m respect to co-lonies is stated to have formed thesubject of a long talk between Mr.Malcolm MacDonald and M. Mandel ,this afternoon.

It is understood that the two Min-isters reviewed the various economicand military problems affecting thetwo Empires, including raw mate-rials, commercial exchanges, and thesteps to be taken if necessary to en-sure close military cooperat ion.

According to 'The Times" correspon-dent in Geneva, the members of theMandates Commission were particularlyinsistent in their questions to Mr. Mac-Donald in ascertaining the possibility ofArab domination over the Jews, theGovernment's intentions regarding Jew-ish immigration , and the status of Pal-estine during the transitional period.

BRITAIN DECIDEDIt appears, the correspondent goes on,

that the replies made indicated thatthere was no room for doubt that theBritish Government had made up itsmind concerning the interpretation ofthe Mandate and the methods by whichit would be applied in future.

"The Daily Mail." correspondent saidthat the Colonial Secretary had had toanswer a great many questions, themost searching of which were put byProfessor Rappard , the Vice-Chairman ,who insisted that the Jewish NationalHome could not have that status if itwere part of an Arab State.

The correspondent added that Prof.(Rappard had the support of most ofthe other members, who expressed theview that there must be continued Jew-ish immigration into Palestine, andthat the White Paper was contrary tothe Mandate.

I t is believed that Mr. MacDonald willdeliver a broadcast address to America.

N.Z.O. ENVOYS ARRIVEMr. A. Abraham , head of the Political

Department of the New Zionist (Revi-sionist) Organization Executive in Lon-don , has arrived in Geneva to submitthe N.Z.O.'s proposals to the MandatesCommission. He is accompanied byDr. Ribbenfeld , member of the N. Z. O.Executive in England and an authorityon international law.

Both Mr. Abrahams and Dr . Ribben-feld were received by Prof. Rappardfor a prolonged conversation , duringwhich the envoys sought to ascertainthe possibility of making contact withother members of the Commission.

yPeople s resistance is no merenegation.

On the day the' White Paper waspublished , the Executive declared:

"Jewish pioneers who in the last threegenerations revealed their capacity forthe building up of a barren land willnow prov e their capacit y in their de-fene e of immigration , of their home-land and of their national dignity."

¦NO SWERVINGThis, in a word , is our entire pro-

gramme of action ; all the rest,matters of practical application.

'Our struggle against the White Pa-per is neither easy nor simple. Itis not a fi ght for a day or for amonth ; nor is it a battle of words .None of the dan gers which threat-en will be averted by pronounce-ments and demonstrations. With-out constant and deliberate effort ,without wise and bold action ,without precious sacrifices , thedesigns against us will not befrustrated.

Out of the almost indescribablehavoc are 18 killed identified —nine men, sev en women and twogirls — and 31 wounded, of whomsix were women. Only seven ofthe injured were sent home fromhospital after treatment.Police and troops who were rush-

ed to the scene were hampered inremoving the injured by an enragedcrowd, and a British Police Inspec-tor, who endeavoured to quell theuproar was met with a hail ofstones and other missiles.

The Central Police Station andother buildings from six to 16 me-tres distant were hit by fragmentsof the bomb , and stained with theblood of the victims and of themangled bodies of horses and don-keys which were hurled a distanceof several metres by the explosion.

TRAFFIC SUSPENDEDAll traffic was immediately sus-

pended and onl y allowed to continueafter the streets had been cleared ofcrowds.

From 9 o'clock a curfew was im-posed on the whole Town PlanningArea, and it remained in force forseven hours.The victims were taken to the

various hospitals in town in taxis,buses, ambulances and carts, com-mandeered while passing by thepolice. Some were assisted by re-latives and friends.

Alfred Hahn, 27, who chanced tovisit the Government Hospital af-ter the explosion was attacked byan Arab mob and suffered severeknife and stone wounds. He was ta-ken to the Hadassah Hospital fortreatment, and his condition is des-cribed as not serious.

Burial of the victims took place(Continued on Page 2.)

S&rf eF *ENGA GEMENT ON MOUN T

OF TEMPTA TION

Troops and police yesterday en-gaged a gang of armed brigands inthe Jericho district, when eightArabs were killed and one woundedand captured, while seven rifles, apistol and a quantity of ammunitionw ere seized. There were no Govern-ment casualties*

Police yesterday morning observ-ed a gang of armed bandits in anenclosure near the top of the Mountof Temptation overlooking Jericho.Whilst they were kept under obser-vation, the police informed the de-tachment of the 2nd Bn., The BlackWatch at Jericho.

A party of police and troops of the2nd Bn., Black Watch , with RoyalAir Force cooperation, left at 2o'clock in, the afternoon for the sceneand engaged the gang which hadleft the enclosures at their approach.

NEAR GREEK MONASTERYThe enclosure near the top of the

Mount is the Greek preserve of thePlace of Temptation , so called -becauseof its association with the 40 days'Temptation of Christ in the wilderness.It was at one time a site of pilgrimage.The Greek Monastery is situated on theslope of the Mount below the Place.

It will be remembered that , after be-ing kidnapped on Boxing Day last, Mr.Louis le Bouvier , manager of the Otto-man Bank in Jerusalem, was brough t byhis captors to the Greek Monastery.

Travellers returning from Jericho lastweek found two partly demolished roadbarriers not far from the turning intothe Old Jericho road , indicating thatthe gang had attempted a hold-up butwas foiled by the road patrols.

THIRTY INJURED IN HINDUMOSLEM RIOT

CAWNPORE, Monday (R). —Thirty people have been injured ina Hindu-Moslem riot which brokeout dur ing a religious procession inthe Moslem quarter.

The police opened fire and quicklygot the- situation in hand. Curfewv/as imposed on the district.

MINNEAPOLIS TOR NADOMINNEAPOLIS, Monday (R) .—

Eleven people were killed and 60 in-jured in a tornado that sw ept thecountry round here during the night,destroying about 100 buildings.

Nurses and doctors attended theinjured by candlelight.

GERMAN PUS TRAGEDYVIENNA, Monday (R) .— Ten

people were killed and 16 severelyinjured when a bus carrying Germanpeasants got out of control on theGross Glockner road , the highest inEurope, and plunged down a 100-footprecipice.

Bitter denuncwtion of the "wildand barren handful " of Jews supp o-sedly responsible fo r outrages againstArabs, is expressed by Mr. D. BenGnrion in the article which hesent late last night to a number ofnewspaper s in Palestine, The Pales-tine Post among them . In this ar-ticle Mr. Ben Gnrion re-traces themethods of the Jews ' determinedstruggle against the policy of theWhite Paper , a struggl e which he in-sists must not be allowed to degene-rate or become defil ed by fou lmurders.

TWO BASIC TRUTHSIn our struggle for our basic rights ,

not the rights of the Jews of Pal-estine but the rights of the JewishPeople as a whole, we must notlose sight of two fundamentaltruths which must determine thefate of our struggle,

ji. Wc shall not t>e helped if we do noty help ourselves. We shall only vein if. we f ight . No one will do for us whati we ourselves must do.i2. We are not alone in this struggle, andi we must. not. allow ourselves to be

Jerusalem and Haifa. The killing1 of innocent Arabs and Jews,, and

acts of senseless and indiscrimi-nate sabotage can only aid our

' enemies. By such misguided andcriminal actions we shall but dis-honour our jus t struggle, under-mine our own powers and givecomfort to our adversaries.

Our hard and complex struggle de-mands courage, discriminationand. above all , a most scrupulouschoice of methods, in order to^determine to what extent they arelikely to serve our purposes. Thoseonly wrho have shown that theyknow how to build , with love anddevotion , know also how to fightwith courage and understanding.And it is no accident that all ofthe despicable and foul acts whichbut undermine our resistance tothe White Paper are being carriedout by a wild and barren handfu lwhich has never been able toshare in Zionist creativeness,which alone has built up the Jew-ish community in country andtown, and which alone is capable ofdefeating the designs of the WhitePaper.

It is now emerging that manyArab fugitives entered Syria with-out passports, and it is believed thatthey will be tried and bound overunder police supervision.

HOW NAZIS WIPE OUT MINORITIESa *~ GERMAN CENSUS AND THE POLES ,

THE last census of population in j number of Poles living i n GermanGermany on May 17, (the results territory which remained. German

of Which were publis'hed in Berlin onJune 17) is of great interest owingto its political tendency directed ag-ainst the minorities living in theThird Reich generally, and in thefirst place against the Polish mino-rity which is the largest in Ger-many.

These tendencies result from thewell-known German policy of exter-mination of racial minorities, andfrom the ideological foundations ofNational Socialism. Nazi Germany,whose chief aim is the realisationof a united and compact n ation , en-deavours to assimilate or destroy allher minorities in the shortest possi-ble time. One of the methods whichhas proved to be very useful in thisrespect is to juggle with populationstatistics, on the basis of a censuscarried out by a specially trainedand instructed administration.

Without going into the methodsof previous censuses in Germany, itcan be said that obliteration of t'hereal picture with regard to minori-ties was achieved by disregardingthe unity of the Polish language.There were introduced artificial clas-sification? such as "Kashubian,""Mazurian" and "Wasserpolnisch ,"which are scientifically proved to bedialects of the Polish language, in-troduction of the idea of bilingualpopulations, questionnaires speciallyprepared for statistical purposes byinserting suggestive definitions, aswell as tendencious working of thetechnical part of the census.

There can be no doubt that a cen-sus conducted in such a wr ay gaveno true picture of the strength ofthe Polish element in Germany .

To illustrate this fact it will besufficient to state that the numberof Poles in Germany during the 15years from 1910-1925, "fell" by 47.4per cent, and during the following'eight years by a further 44 per cent.Between the census of 1910 and theone of 1933, the 'Polish populationwas shown to 'have decline d by1,085.388 persons, e.i. 71.2 per cent.

Inexp licable PhenomenonThis artificial census of popula-

tion* created difficulties for the Ger-man 3 them-: elves, as they were un-able to explain this remarkable phe-nomenon. It is clear that such ar-tificially managed "decrease" of thePolish population in Germany, cor-responded to no true picture andwere intended to mislead worldpublic opinion regarding the truenumber of Poles living in Germany.' In order to arrive at a correct pic-ture for the present one must startwith the total fixed by the census of1910. According to this census, the

(From a Sp ecial Corre spond ent)

under the Treaty of Versailles was1,500,000.

Taking into account th* ; naturalincrease of the Polish populationduring 1910-1914 and 191 8-1939, 15per cent a year), and durii lg the waryears of 1914-1918, (10 per cent),less the total war casua lties, andfinally, the decrease cause d by theemigration from the Reu 3h in thepost-War years of about »a quarterof a million Poles, it will be foundthat there must be actually in Ger-many, 1,800,000 Poles.

This fact cannot be cbcanged bythe new and artificial operationsi ofthe last census of population in theThird Reich , which took place onMay 17.

This census makes a cletan sweepof the former principles', of Germanstatistics and is made to serve tihepolicy of the Nazi regime towardsthe national minorities.

The chief novel devices are these:1. Citizens are required to state their

nationality .2. Sub-classifications of Polish lan-

guage.3. The "bilingual population" clause,fy . Lack of secrecy.5. Heavy punishments for "incorrect"

statements.6. Employment of ambiguous phr ases

and leading questions;.

Act of HeroismConsidering the well-known Ger-

man policy of extermination towardsthe minorities, wmich always has>been employed against the Poles , itis unnecessary to stress the influenceon the results of the census of theinsertion of a clause requiring everycitizen to state whether he considershimself a member of a national mi-nority. It is sufficient to emphasizethat in Germany's present internalsituation this register represents adeliberate restriction of the rightsof civilised people to the free con-fession of nationality. Such a con-fession must be considered now anact of heroism.

Under these circumstances the at-titude of the Supreme Council of theAssociation of Poles Living in Ger-many, as expressed in its resolutionof March 6, 1938, is easily under-stood. It stresses the danger to thePolish population in Germany causedby the Nationalities Register andurged the leaders of the Associationto work by all available means ag-ainst this peril. The Polish Pressacted accordingly, pointing out thetrue significance of the census.

It is characteristic of German sta-tistical methods that the nationalityclause runs counter to German doc-trine and theory, especially in res-pect of German demands regardingGerman minorities living in foreigncountries, such as Poland and Cze-choslovakia. It is likewise contraryto the National-Socialistic doctrineof race and nation. The tightness ofthese principles, which are innova-tions, we must leave to the Nazis,but if Germans propagate them itwould be more consistent on theirpart to observe them. As is wellknown, the principles of this doc-trine in respect of the nation areGod's will, language, blood, spiritand birth. The loss of these feat-ures or their deformation throughignorance or restraint, is consi-dered immoral and contradictoryto natural law. This point of viewwai confirmed by Hitler in hisspeech in Graz on April 3, 1938,,when he declared: "God has creat-ed the nations — what God hasunited men never should divide."Two StandardsTHE subjective criterion of deter-

mining one's own nationalityby personal declaration has beendiscarded in theory and practice bythe majority of count ries. Germanscience shows also a negative atti-tude towards such a conception , ex-pressing the opinion (Franz Hiess :¦'Methodik der Volkszaehlung," Jena1931, page 156'Y that personal decla-ration in respect of nationality showthe same errors as statistics basedin general on declarations, and thatsuch declarations may lead to theperversion of nationality statisticsthrough extraneous factors such aseconomic , administrative or policepressure , etc.

it is not necessary to emphasizethe important role which such pres-sure was bound to play in the censusof May 17, especiall y with regard tothe Polish minority which , takinginto consideration its social struc-ture, is exposed to the strongest

economic pressure, not to speak ofsuch factors as political terror.

It is worth while to recall the cha-racteristic attitude of Germany to-wards the census of population inCzecho-Slovakia in 1921 and 1930,,when the edge of the subjective me-thods now applied by Germany wasturned against her in the Sudeten-land.

At that time it was complained byGermans (Hans Singule : "Der StaatMasaryks-OBerlin 1937, page 177}that :—¦"t, "In electorval districts where Ger-

mans form a compact population, thenumber \of Germans who voted forGermans, but did not dare to admitfrankly to be Germans at the timeof the census, wets uniformly below10 per cent."

2. M In electorval districts where Ger-mans were dispersed and for med lan-guage-islands (Sprachinseln) or livedamong the Czech majority , this num-ber amounted even to...60 per cent."The criticism of the statistical

German methods in the last censusdoes not of course exhaust the argu-ments against them. What has beensaid here is merely sufficient to.show that these methods have noth-ing in common with statistical aims,.that they are dictated by politicalreasons and that they are inconsis-tent :1. With National-Socialist "doctrines , re-

garding race and nation ,,2. With official declaration's! "by the lead-

ing personalities of the TH. Reich.S. With the traditions of German

science, and4. ;With the German attitude towards

censuses involving German minoritiesliving in other countries.

The Polish view, which was com-municated to the German Govern-ment is quite clear, and it can betaken for granted that Poland will.never recognise such a census of po-pulation as being in accordance withthe real facts.

It is not without interest to notethe recent German accusations about¦the alleged persecution of Germansliving in Poland. The Germans who;are protesting so loudly against de-liberately exaggerated or inventedincidents are employing methods to-wards their minorities which can-not leave Poland unaffected.

It is true that recently there have"occurred a few cases of transferto the interior districts of Poland ofGermans living in the Polish frontierzone, which are explained by dan-gers to the security of the state,flowing from the tension betweenPoland and Germany. But in com-parison with the peculiar Germanprocedure in the last census of po-pulation , which is directed in themain against the entire Polish minor-ity, these cases are hardly worthmentioning.

Hitler Prop oses -Gestap o Disp oses

(From a Correspondent)

PRAGUE, June 13.— Beneaththe surface in Bohemia and Mora-vi'ia a bitter if silent struggle isbeginning between the Czechpeople, now recovered from thefeeling of bewilderment and frust-ration which came as a stunningshock three months ago, and theforeign invader.

This important change in the'"Protectorate" has been broughtabout by Herr Hitler's most recentbreach of his promise that the full-est "cultural autonomy" would begranted to his Czech subjects . Thiswas the principal "concession" im-plicit in the '"Protectorate" whenit was set up after the March inva-sion.

What Herr Hitler proposed theGestapo is now disposing. "DerN<eue Tag", official German Naziorgan in the Protectora te, has al-ready stated bluntly that theCzech language must disappear frompunblic life and be replaced by Ger-muan. All Czech officials have beenordered to learn German, and alloflficial business will shortly be trans1-ac.ted entirely in that language.Island In German Sea

:But the Germanisation of the"Protectorate" 's public mode ofexpression is only the first step inth<e campaign of subjection. TheRej gional Propaganda Leader, HerrHoeller, recently told a meeting, atwhich leading German personalitiesin the administration were present,that the Czechs would have to be-come accustomed to the thought ofbeiing an island in the German seaand that Prague must become acentre in Germany's penetration ofSoiuth-Eastern Europe.

In this spirit the Germans are nowbuisily removing the most valuableobjects from old Bohemian castlesand museums and transferring themto Germany.

Tt is impossible to verify all ru-mours, but it seems to be a fact thatItalian troops have arrived in twoMoravian towns, Kromeriz and Pre-rov. German political circles inPrague are reported to regard thisas a sign that Italian resistance tothe idea of a war against Polandhas broken down. As there arestrong German military detachmentsin Italy, there seems to be no rea-son why the Italian Governmentshould not send a couple or more ofher own divisions to Bohemia andMoravia.

Palcor reports that the Slovak au-thorities have imposed a fine of 50,000crowns on the Jewish community at Zi-lina, as a punishment for the action ofsevferal merchants in removing the"Shtield of David" sign from their shop-wimdows to indicate their Jewish origin

T'he local authorities declared thateveiry Jewish shop must indicate pro-miniently the origin of its owner in or-der to obviate mistakes by the public.

BOXING

FARR NOT TOIMPORTANT NEW BOXING PULE

Tommy Farr canot be regrettingh aving returned to England. Al-though he has appeared onl y twicein the ring, against Red Burman andLarry Gains , he has almost beenoverwhelmed for offers for his ser-vices,

Wembley made a bold effort to getTommy to fight Jack Doyle, butTommy couldn 't see why Doyle ex-ected as much as he , c.o the bout hasfallen through. He has now beensigned up to f igh t Jim Braddock,ex-world champion , sometime in Ju-ly, and backers of Tommy Martin ,the young coloured Deptford' heavy-weight, have offered Farr £2,000 tomeet him in the ring.

Tommy Farr will probably disre-gard this offer a? he has disregard-ed others from budding heavy-weights. He is out for the topflights ; that means Braddock , Har-vey, and t hen , ultimately, he hopes ,Joe Louis, with, a different resultthan last time.

If Farr cleans up over in Britainhe will most probabl y be off to theStates again , for he went homemore than anyth ing to recover a lotof the prestige he had lost in Amer-ican rings.

New Boxing Rule ?The British Boxing Board of Con-

FIGHT DOYLEtrol are busily seeking to amend oneof the rules of boxing. If they suc-ceed, a boxer who is knocked out ofthe ring will have a better chanceof continuing the fight.

•Under the present rule a boxer

must regain his feet and be in thering bet ore "ten" ia counted, other-wise he loses the fight. The B.B.B.of C.„ however, are proposing that afighter need only regain his feet out-side the ring before the last count.

Tf this motion is carried it willbenefit boxers and boxing. Last yearJack Doyle and Ben Foord sufferedan official knockout because theycould not regain the ring. Both wereimportant fights. Foord was fight-ing George James, a fight whichFoord took as his most important.If he lost he retired, if he won hewent on boxing.

Jack Doyle wTas making a reap-pearance in the British ring againstEddie Phillips, and after two furi-ous rounds Phil lips side-stepped aDoyle charge and sixteen stone ofIrish manhood crashed into the lapsof ringside spectators.

Jack Dempsey might well havelost his heavy-weight title againstLuis Firpo in 1923, under this rule.Af ter some minutes of whirlwind

COTTON AND C.WHITCOMBE TIE

£1,000 GOLF TOURNAMENT

fighting Firpo sent Dempsey crash-ing out of the ring., Whether Demp-sey was pushed back by ringsiders(an illegal act), has been a subjectof hot dispute ever since.

U.S.A. Pref erred

Henry Armstrong has now return-ed to the United States disappoint-ed by the reception given him bythe British public. For the fi ght inwhich he defeated Ernie Roderick,the stadium was only half-full.

Armstrong was to have met EricBoon in 'Lon don for the world'slightweight title ,, for Mr. SydneyHulls 'of Harringay 'Stadium. Thefinancial failure of Armstrong's firstBritish fight, however, has madeHulls less keen about his Britishcontract, 'and would prefer co sendBoon 'over to America, where hewas received with enthusiasm duringhis recent holiday there. He has gotinto touch with Mike Jacobs, whowild arrange a couple of warming-up bouts ifor Boon before he has hisattempt at Armstrong.

Many are Saying that the reasonfor the lack of custom at the Arm-strong-Roderick fight was that theB.B.C. televised the fight, and allow-ed it to be shown in several Londoncinemas. However, probably thereal reason was that Britons arestill impatient of any fight betweenless 'than heavy-weights. They pre-fer their boxing on a large sicale. Afigh t between Boon and Armstrong,however, would certainly be an at-traction — and Boon would be thebait . Boon has entered Britishhearts, as was Shown during the re-cent "natural" between Boon andDanahar.

However, America will still bemore financially attractive forBoon.

BRITISH SUBJECTS HELD UP ATBARRIERS IN TIENTSIN

PREMIER'S STATEMENT ON FAR EAST SITUATION

LONDON, Monday (R) .—Ques-

tions from various parts of theHouse of Commons this afternoonelicited a statement from Mr. Ne-vill e Chamberlain on the positionin the Far East, when he statedthat the barrier restrictions inTientsin were beins; continued-

The Prime Minister declared thatall British subjects were being heldup at the barriers by the Japanese,rigorously searched and in somecases subjected to indignities. Theentry of perishable food-stuffs andice into the Concession was delayedby the rigid searching and its entrycontinued to be spasmodic. Normalsupplies were reported to be reachingthe market adjoining the FrenchConcession. No special arrangementsappeared to be called for as yet , butfurther information on the subjectwas being sought from the authori-ties on the spot.

Mr. Chamberlain mentioned thaton the morning of June 18 two Brit-ish coastal steamers went up the riv-er to Tientsin without stoppage orsearch , but generally speaking, hesaid, British lighters and tugs hadbeen stopped and searched.

Protests had been addressed bythe Consul-General in Tientsin , andthe Ambassador in Tokyo had beeninstructed to take matters up withthe Japanese Government.

The general position was not clear,but it appeared that the original de-mand for the handing over of fourChinese had been confused by theintroduction of larger issues of gene-ral policy. No formal representationhad been received from the JapaneseGovernment , and there was stillhope that a local settlement would'»e found possible, Mr. Chamberlainadded.

LIMITATION WANTED"His Majesty 's Governmen t cannot but

believe that the Japanese Governmentsnare thei r own desire not to widen thearea of disagreement or render moreceute an already di f f i c u l t situation . AtVe same time they are fu l l y alive tothe reactions of the present dispute onthe position of other British and inter-nationa l settlements in China.

"Lord Halifax is seeing the JapaneseAmbassador today and Sir Robert Cragiein Tokyo is endeavouring to clarify the:. "tuation there. We are maintaining ther 'osest touch with the French and Ame-rican Governments."

Replying to Mr. Arthur Henderson ," fr. Chamberlain said that the British

offer regarding the four Chinese suspectsstill held good.

Replying to Mr. Eden, who askedwhether it could be assumed that it hadbeen made clear to all concerned thatit was the Government's intention toensure food supplies reaching Britishsubjects in Tientsin , Mr. Chamberlainreplied , "Yes. We are making enquiriesand will take whatever steps necessaryto ensure supplies of food-stuffs. "

Answering Mr. Noel Baker , Mr. Cham-berlain said that the blockade in Kulang-su was being maintained.

Colonel J. J. Llewellyn, Civil Lordof the Admiralty , stated in reply toanother question that the largest shipwhich could reach Tientsin was H.M.S.Lowestoft , which was there now. Itwas not at present considered thatother British warships now 30 milesfrom Tientsin would be of value.

BROADCASTING BY TELEPHONEHOUSE HEARS OF POSSIBILITIES

DONDON, Monday (R). — Broad- he supplied through trade channels,st programmes by telephone, a and it followed that the Post Officew Post. Officp svstmn Hpvisprt for telephone service would not comnete

cast programmes by telephone, anew Post Office system devised foran emergency, were stated by thePostmaster-General, Major G. C,Tryon , to be now a practical pos-sibility when he introduced the PostOffice Estimates into the House ofCommons on Friday.

Major Tryon stressed the value oftelephone wire transmission in wartime when wireless reception mightdeteriorate or be subjected to oc-casional interference. Under thetelephone-wireless service, a subs-criber would be able to receivebroadcast programmes, to use thetelep hone without interference, anduse it at the same time as the re-ceiving set wyas in use.

BETTER RECEPTIONUnder the telephone system, re-

ception would be exceedingly goodand reception would be free from allinterference, which at the presenttime is very bad in some districts,especially in parts of London. Thepresent receivers could be usedwith a special attachment.

Maj or Tryon said that he proposedto start the service on the basis ofall sets used by subscribers, which could

and it followed that the Post Officetelephone service would not competewith the radio trade.

It was proposed to offer the newservice to telephone subscribers only,but it would be technically possible toextend it to non-subscribers and thequestion of this extension would bereviewed later.

BROADCAST RELAYSThe Postmaster-General also in-

timated that relay companies at pre-sent relaying the B.B.C. broadcastsin some areas would be required tobe connected by wire with the B.B.C.so that they would foe available inthe event of an emergency to giveservice which would be free frominterference. The Government's de-cision embodied in the new propo-sals was a direct result of the pre-sent international situation.

Mr. Herbert Williams made the sug-gestion that broadcasts could he relay-ed through the electric lighting system.He said that almost every househad electric light , whereas workmencould not afford a telephone.

The Postmaster-General said that thepossibility of the suggestion was beingexamined , hut it had been tested inAmerica and found unsuccessful.

King and Queen on Wet buCheerf ul Cruiser Tour

ADVENTURE BEFORE LEA VIN G ON EMPRESS OF BRITA INLONDON, Monday (R. & BOWP).

— Steaming at 24 knots, the s.s. Em-press of Britain carrying the Kingand Queen back to England wasclear of the iceberg zone within 20hours of leaving Newfoundland, andhas now slowed down to less than 20knots, which is a more economicaland comfortable speed both for theliner and the escorting destroyers.

The ship is rolling on a fresh windwhich , however, is not sufficient tocause discomfort . To enable thoseon board to have a longer night'srest, the ship's clocks will be ad-vanced during the afternoons insteadof at night , the usual practice ineastward crossings.

Prayers were offered at Divineservice yesterday for peace and forAble Seaman Batt,who fell overboardthe previous day.

When the liner emerged from theiceberg zone, Their Majesties wereresting after their greatest personaladventure since the tour began.

They had gone aboard a ferry-boattowards the cruiser Glasgow, which theyintended touring and which had goneahead . As the Glasgow approached, theKing and Queen were transferred aboarda small naval motor-boat to go along-side. After bumping and ploughingthrough the waves, the engines sud-denly stopped.

It was found that the propeller wascaught in fishing nets. For severalminutes the boat drifted helplessly un-til another naval boat came alongside.The King jumped on board and helpedthe Queen over .

Waves crashing over the boat soakedall the members of the party who wereunable to cram into the tiny cabin. Inspite of the bad weather, the King andQueen , determined not to disappoint theofficers and crews of the cruisers, wentthrough the whole programme. After-wards they visited the Berwick and re-turned wet but cheerful to the Empressof Britain.

NATIONAL REJOICINGGreat scenes of national rejoicing will

mark the return to England of the Kingand Queen, who will be welcomed bymembers of the Royal Family at South-ampton and Waterloo Station in Londonon Thursday. Warships of the HomeFleet are assembling at Portland inreadiness to sail out to meet the lineras she nears the English coast and , withplanes and flying-boat, will escort herdown the Channel to Southampton ..

Their Majestie s will drive from Water-loo to Buckingham Palace in an openState landau, with a captain 's escort ofthe Household Cavalry. On Friday theywill drive in state over a much longerroute to and from the Guildhall for theformal welcome by the Lord Mayor andCorporation of the City of London.

On the same rirj y "Prav- jda ", the official organ of the U.S.S.R. istated Russia 's minimum conditions jfor joining ihe Peace 'Front , and jthese include the categorical demand jthat Britain , France and Russia shall Iaid the three Baltic States againstviolation of their ne utrali ty by an 'aggressor. i

•Having*- just returned from these l

countries, where I had the privilege jof hearing the personal views of the jForeign Ministers 'and other high Jofficers of state on these very points , jX can , perhaps , throw some light on Ithe curious deadlock that has aris-en. i

Latvia and Estonia both won theirfreedom after the Great War by their !own military action in driving out jfirst Germans and then Russians ]from their country. The national Iheroes who achieved this , General jBalodis in Latvia and General Laido- Iner in Estonia , are today, each inhis own country . Deputy President jas well as Head of the Armed Forces , Iand wield tremendous influence. -tNeither they nor their countrymen ;can forget that Soviet Russia tried ;to deprive them of their new-won jfreedom , and that there have been , ¦since the Republics were establishedCommunist risings which have hadto be suppressed. j

Bot h countries if ear CommunistRussia , believe that once Russian ,¦armies were allowed to set foot in !their lands they would never be ridof them , and are determined at allcosts to resist the entry of a singleRussian soldier by force of arms.They remember that they formedpart of the old Eussia , and so de-lightful has been their brief twenty-years taste of freedom that they arepassionately determined not to loseit.

Fear GermanyTheir attitude towards Germany is

very similar and almost as bitter.They are very conscious that before1918 almost all the land was ownedby the Baltic Barons , German noble-men who consistently excluded thenatives from land ownership, andmaintained, them in a state of quasi-serfdom. They are not blind to Ger-many 's philosoph y of force , nor toher act ions in Czecho-Slovakia andMemel. and they fear her intensely.They remember that it was only withBritish assistance that they drove*back the German armies in 1919-1920. They are sympathetic to Brit-ain , and grateful for the Britishnaval help without which they couldhardly have won their freedom , buttheir policy, in the event of a Euro-pean war , is to maintain their neu-tralit y .as long as possible , and ifattacked from either side , to defendthemselves as best as they can.

A n on-'aggression pact with Ger-many, made at Germany 's expressrequest , serves to .allay public anxie-ty and foster trade , and may perhapsimprove their chance of neutrality ina world war . It can do no harm at¦all events , and its refusal might have

do I know? Reports have jus t be cmpublished showing that a territorycoverin g 5,000 ,000 square miles has;not yet been annexe d to the domains;of the neighbouring countries. The;fact tha t much of it is under ice has;not dampened the desires of Great;Britain , the United Sta tes , France ,,Germany, Norway and Australia to>get control of it , if we are to be-liev e press reports. (Incidental ly,,where do Germany and France come;i n ? ) — The value of lbe territory-is cmiectural , but the Ellsworth ex-p edi t ion last year reported that a.su rv r v of 80,000 miles revealed ,"great mineral possibilitie s." A bet-ter es'nlsination is the strategic value

been regarded as offensive by Ger* Imany. It is significant that bothcountries took the opportunity toemphasize in a protocol that tradewith a third power durin g war wouldnot constitute a breach of neutrality,thus establishing their right as neU'trais to trade with Britain , whichthey have intention of doing.

'It is then because these countriesa.id particularly Estonia , have beenprotesting that they clo not want Rus-sian guarantees, will notaccept thehelpof Pj ussian armies in their territoryand declare that they will fight themif they come, even if Germans areenterin g the country on the oppositeborder , that Britain has been unableto include any guarantee of theBaltic States in her draft (agreementwith Russia .

In a war between Germany andPoland there would be no great stra-tegic need for Germany to operatethrough the Baltic ''States, but onceRussia was involved it would bevery much to Germany 's advantageto seize Riga , Tallinn iand fhe islandsof Osel and Dago , and so have anaval stranglehold on her powerfulenemy. It is this , and the commercialpenetration which might prepare theway for it , that Russia fears , and itis this which makes the position ofthe Baltic States precarious , despitethe non-aggression treaties just sign-ed.

Estonia and Latvia, unless tooclosely entangled by previou s penet-ration , would in the event of Germanaggression , fight bravely for theirindependence, but with armies of150,000 and 130 000 respectively, itcan hardl y be supposed that theycould hold back Germany, especiallysince Germany would presumablypossess sea-command. This is of par-ticular importance because it wouldenable German troops to cross themain obstacle to conquest , the riverDwina , by naval support and flanklanding parties at the mouth .

Finland Hostile to RussiaFinland is equall y opposed to re-

ceiving help from Russia , for since1803 Finland too belonged to Russiaand in 1918 Communist armies at-tempted to include that countrywithin the U.S.S.R . It was Marshalvon der Goltz leading a German armywho assisting the Finnish GeneralMannerheim , rescued them and drovethe Russians out . and though Ger-m any tried to put a German princeon the Finnish throne and so estab-lish vassalage, this was resisted andFinland remains grateful to Germany.

The Finnish General Staff is per-meated with German tradition andthe country, as a whole though itstrade depends on 'Britain , sympathiz-es with the Third Reich's recent ac-tions up to , but not including, thatof last March . The annexation of theold Czecho-Slovakia has for the firsttime swung Finnish sympathy to-ward^ the Democracies , and the dis-play of German ruthlesness has caus-ed them to fear for their Aaland Is-lands, which they realize might be ofuse to Germany in a world struggle.Their policy is neutrality, and theywould only fight against Germany if

¦ of the territory which is as large as: Europe without Russia.: , Great Britain claims two sections' ; — the Ross dependency, between¦ ' 160 degrees East and 150 degrees'- V/est longitude , and a large area be^-¦ tween 20 and 80 degrees longitude.1 This should supply the "have-nots""¦ with fresh propagandist ammunition.7 While Germans go without butter* and Italians are fo rbidden to drink

coffee , perfidious Albion is attempt-• ing a corner in ice-cream.

,' rpAiSMANTA is also in the market ,I 1 to judge from a proposal that ith snould be sold to the Jews. This„ intelligent suggestion is made in thel '. "Sydney Bulletin ," Australia. The

wnter calculates that Tasmania, in-cluding its inhabitants — 235,400 —and its public debt , is worth £250mill ion , which he says , "to a raceof financiers is a bagatelle." Toouor e him further , "At 250 millionit would be a bargain on both sides— the State debt would be wipedout . . and a vast reservoir of readymoney would be created in Austra-lia for new internal loans, particu-larly defence ." He also points outthat "there are no Arabs to causetrouble to t'he purchasers , and Aus-tralia would have no ground for fearof a Jewish Navy ravaging itsshores." This last suggestion isparticularl y valuable as it appears tothrow light on the underlying cau-ses of some of the trouble here . Per-sonall y we prefer this idea to theBritish Guiana project . At least itsasininity is genuine and not faked .Jews will be flattere d to hear thatfor them the raising of £250 millionis "a bagatelle."

PRO TEUS

that country landed a hostile force j t sacon their territory. Having refused | of tithe non-aggression pact which Ger- a ' crmany offered , Finland is not anxious

! l"imto give her cause for offence by ac- yea rcepting guarantees, which might ap- j A _pear to throw her into the other i-1?-camp. j to P

All three countries , then , would ' as slike to see France and Britain con- ' :Chr<tent themselves with Russia 's bene- J V t.volent neutrality, unable , from their I£3l {rather insular viewpoint , to see that ?om

this might be almost an invitation ; ^^to the Axis powers to make war . i J

Britain and France have rightly ! or\Vlrejected this view and have at- ] Tr.. trtempted to go on without them , but*!

^'"*

Russia insi:ts on their inclusion , and >p ^..tthe result so far is deadlock. ]ea

"T.'

Soviet Claim Reasonable toneBut this pact of mutual assistance

is as import ant to Russia as it is toGreat Britain. It secures Russia i against the very aggression which , j W* ¦

as has been hinted , she wrongly j r _ , \suspected England was tacitly en- 'couraging Germany to make. Russiahas given evidence that her motivestoday are as frank and above-boardas our own, and that she genuinelywishes to range herself with thepeace fron t. All her recent actionsand M. Molotov 's speech supportthis view. Moreover , while the in-clusion of Finland! seems unimpor-tant , since invasion of Rut sia throughFinland is highly improbable , Rus-sia's anxiety for the continued com-plete independence of Estonia andLatvia is reasonable and understand-able. An ideological difference andan old memory must not be allowedto stand in the way of a great movefor securing world peace.

It would seem logical therefore ,for Russia now to approach Estoniaand Latvia either directly, or throughthe intermediary of an honest brok-er , to convince them, by undertak-ing to limit her help to what is ag-reed to be strictl y necessary, thatshe has no ulterior motives ,, and nointention of staying a day longer intheir territories than is necessary,should she be obliged to go there . Ifshe can convince them of this , (an dwhy shoul d fhe not? ) it is obviousthat their independence wil l then befar safer than if they must rely onlyon their own strength to repel aGerm any which mi ght want to occupy ;their territory for strategic reasons jif for no others.

In return for Russia's guarantees ,the Baltic States would need to un-dertake that no peaceful penetrationby another Power would be permit-ted of a nature to undername theirmilitary position. They need makeno other un dertaking, for then surely,in the event of their countries beinginvaded they would not declinegenuine assistance in repelling the¦invader .

Poland , who appears to have ac-cepted the prospect of Russian aid,and to whom the independence of'the Baltic 'States is of great impor-tance, might well fill the role of'"honest broker" and initiate matters.

It is to be hoped , therefore , thatwhile the Foreign Offices and Em-bassies continue negotiations, the'next few days will see conversationsbetween the countries immediatelyinterested, to thrash out the variouspossibilities and how they may bestbe met.I World Copyright 1939 by COOPERA-TION.

n^HE Jewish National Council¦*¦ which is holding a special meet-

ing today to consider further aspectsof the Jewish struggle against the

White Paper willassuredl y devote

Tliojorror part of its timefly flay to the unending

tragedy of theunceasing terror of which the bomboutrage in Haifa yesterday is such

a terrible example. But even insuch a grave moment as this it is im-perative to guard against the facile j but is inescapable and therefore mustbut dangerous tendency among many | be manageable. It should not prove

people , including even those in most beyond the ingenuity of the combin-

responsible quarters, which assumes ed forces of the Crown to prevent

•that, whenever Arabs are killed by such a massacre as yesterday's In

terror, Jews must be the culprits , the Haifa vegetable market ,

since the converse is only too sadly ____ _ . ,true that wrhere Jews have been the

victims, Arabs were the aggressors.Thus to sum up the situation as be-

ing due to a change of roles of Jews

and Arabs is far too simple. It is

a convenient but superficial conclu-

sion.Nor is it to attack the evil at the

root for official pronouncements to

declare that the Jewish population

is not coope rating in the measures

designed to lead to the handing over

of the alleged Jewish criminal s, and

to inflict collective punishments as

possible deterrents. Such punish-

ment stigmatizes the innocent with-out punishing or deterring the guilty.

Indeed, if the public or its represen-

tative bodies were in a position to

seize the miscreants responsible for

yesterday's holocaust at Haifa ,

there would be less need for thepresumably adequate intelligence

staffs maintained by the Army and

the Police.The truth must at last be faced

that the dastardly crimes which have

latterly been committed in Jerusalem,

round Tel Aviv and in Haifa ,

bear the traces of a fiendish but

clever organization. They are hard-

ly to be ascribed to the spontaneous

misguided "patriotism" such as a

Jewish youth exhibited a year ago

near Rosh Pinah. Rather do they

appear to be the work of experts in

destruction, no less than the work

of those assassins who wrought si-

milar destruction where Jews have

been the victims. If the organiza-

tion of which they seem to be evid-

ence was that of a Jewish body it

could hardly remain unknown and

-untraced. In common with all theinhabitants, of this country, the Jews

have a solemn duty to do their best to

uncover the source of such crimes.

This responsibility they have never

shirked, but short of being ordered tostand up and del iver they have not

been told what they can do. Un-

like the Arabs, the heads of the Jew-

ish Community have consistently de-nounced bloodshed , from the be-ginning of the riots , and have suc-

ceeded , on the whole, in preventingcounter-measures from being ta-

ken. But they are also entitled to

ask why the authorities , with all

the resources at their disposal , have

failed to trace the authors of thesedeadly crimes ? No more than therest of us can the authoritie s escapethe burden of the responsibilitywhich lies so heavily on us all. Itis well known that the A rab terrorwas largely in the hands of hiredgunmen , with the price of killing aJew and Briton clearly and preci-sely set out. It is well known that

the same terror was used against

Arabs also. Persons who take to

killing as a profession may haveemployers who are not averse to

making Arabs the victims again , ifthereby grea ter confusion and em-

barrassment is caused all around.Latterly an American journalistgave some interesting sidelights onthe part communists have playedin the Palestine terror. That otherforces are also interested in troublingBritain , is no secret. Coupledwith an appreciation of the sciencebrought to bear in planning theseacts of destruction , these factsshould lead the authorities to thetrue authorship of the disastrousoutrages. It is not an easy task ,

r"PHE article on the recen t census of-•- population in Germany which is

appearin g on another page raises aquestion which is likely to become in- 1

creasingly topi- '

m cal as thet, . * -m months wear on.Standarcls rT , „ . ,.Unless all indi-

cations a r ewrong, the Danzig question will notbe allowed to disappear from theagenda of current problems, and con-currently with its discussion a newattempt is likely to be made to ar-gue the case for Germany in termsof national self- determination —anti-Bolshevism being discreditedfor the moment. It is therefore notwithout interest to study Germany'sattitude towards such nationalminorities as happen to live underGerman rule — always excepting theJews who of course are beyond thepale.

The case of Czecho-Slovakiais only the most glaring.As the author of our special ar-ticle points out , oppression and for-cible assimilation of national minori-ties such as the Poles' is part ofthe 'German tradition. The Nazishave merely brought to a fine pitchof perfection the system current inpre-War 'Germany ; nevertheless someof the changes which have been in-troduced by them can lay some claimto novelty. It needs no emphasisthat under a totalitarian dictator-ship, national oppression assumesnew aspects, in proof of which it isonly necessary to reflect that themanipulation of statistics can pro-ceed unchecked and uncriticised.On the basis of such statistics theGerman authorities are now prepar-ing to demonstrate the overwhelm-ingly 'German character of certain"mixed" eastern provinces , particu-larly Upper Silesia which borderson the Polish province of the samename. If little mention has hither-to been made in Nazi propaganda ofthe unredeemed German minority inthe rich industrial region of Polish ;Silesia it is certainly not out of for-getfulness.

National oppression is of course nomonopoly of the Germ ans, but thecombination of forcible Gerrnanisa-tion , crooked statistics and hypocri-tical appeals to the princip le of self-determination is too typical of thespirit of the present German regimeto justify neglect. The authorrightly draws attention to a peculia-rity of the Nazi min d which expres-ses itself in the elasticity of certainpolitical formulas. "Self-determina,-tion ," like "independence" and "liv-ing space" has a special connotationto the present German mind . "Livingspace" is used by Dr. Goebbels asa synonym for the active acquisitionof foreign territorv. rather than theof foreign territory, rather than thepassive conserving- of legitimate pos-sessions, and "self-determination"has come to stand for the German"right to protect" minoritieswho would decide differently if leftto themselves. It is not merely acase of one man 's right being theother man 's wrong, but of the virtualdenial of rights to non-Germans.This was emphasized by the fa te ofthe Czechs, and the Polish nationmay be pardoned for refusing toput its trust into "guarantees" of"independence " in the sense definedabove.

fpH'E war in China has already pro-1 duced every known form of

atrocity, including the blockade offoreign concessions , with the excep-tion of one : the use of poison gas.Ic seems that this weapon is sti l lbsing reserved. If the presen t Ja-panese attemp t to stop British andAmerican financial aid to Chinashould fail , as it probabl y will , newefforts are likely to be made to cowthe Chinese through "frightfuiness."For this task Japan is wei! equipped.It is calculate d that her annual pro-duction of poison gas- is near 5,000'tons. What is more important , steps,have recently been taken to expand ,production. This would seem to.indicate that we have not seen the:¦end of Japan 's civilising mission. It;will be recalled that poison gas was;also used by the I tal ians in Ethio-pia as a means of overcoming the ;population 's sales resistance to Italian.culture.
