Judge Fehl's attorneys, H. V.

right of Medford, set forth in an
affidavit in support of their mo
tion for bail reduction that bail
fof the county judge had been
raised following the commission
of .a crime yesterday in which
there was no contention that he
""had a part. Th crime referred
to was the slaying of Prescott.
' District Attorney George Cod

regarded Judge Fehl as a fugitive
from Justice. Efforts to serve a
warrant on him had been unavail
ing, he said, for two days.
A hearing to determine wheth
er Sheriff Schermerhorn Is fit to

day by Governor Julius L. Meier,
who took no notice of demands
hat County Judge Fehl be re

Banks, who In turn gave them his
support in the November election.
Among those arrested today

immediate Intention of exercising
every provision In the bill, that
his hope Is to effect price in
creases by cooperation of proces
sors and producers through trade
agreements. He plans to move
benefits of the act to farmers in
the form of rental payments al
though he would have authority
to use tho benefit plan provided
la the original allotment plan.
Representatives of processors,
after analyzing the legal and
practical aspects of the bill, asked
public hearings to gain time .to
propose amendments. Some pri
vately condemned the measure as
"undue Interference with private
business"; others said it would
result in "nationalisation of ag

dangerous experiments."

"There Is no cauBe for war be

of madness. There can be no war
between our countries unless the

know your country will not do

"Americans are a very sympa

I, who know you, would say that
you are even sentimental. To use
a phrase of American slang, yon
fall for appeals to your emotions.
This is what you hare done re
garding China. Tou have accepted
fictions and rejected facts regard

have condoned the faults of Chi

ernment. "We Japanese, because of our
geographic propinquity, have to
deal with tho hard realities of con
ditions brought about by the Chi
nese war lords and cannot accept
the fictions expounded by Ameri
can educated Chinese politicians.
The condition of China has gone
from bad to worse during the past
21 years of Chinese civil war, to
the ghastly cost of the Chinese
people. The real enemies of China
are Chinese, not foreigners, cer
tainly not the Japanese. Unless the
Chinese were their own enemies a

that without Japan's cooperation
the league may find it difficult to
achieve very much In dealing
with problems common to all na
