This source said Britain was
considering representations to
Tokyo, drawing attention to Ja
pan's obligations under the nine
power pact.
The date ot China's formal ap
peal to the League of Nations, it
was reported reliably, depends on
how the situation develops and
how the signatories of the nine
power treaty react to the North
', China situation.
The Chinese ambassador to
London, Qio Tai-Chi, called the
erlsfs to the notice of the British
goyernment early this week,
pointing out Britain's obligations
under the nine-power pact.
The British government was un
derstood to be awaiting clarifica
tion of the situation or some as
surances from Japan before tak
ing the next step.

Yes, Mary, there is a Santa
Claus. He eiists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and we know that
they abound and give to
our life its highest beauty
and Joy. Alas! How dreary
would be the world If there were
no Santa Claus. There would be
no childlike faith then, no poetry,
to make tolerable this existence.
We would have no enjoyment, ex
cept in sense and sight. The ex
ternal light with which childhood
fills the world would be extin
guished. Nobody sees Santa Claus on
Christmas, but that is no sign that
there is no Santa Claus. Th3 most
real things in the world are those
that neither children nor men can
see. Nobody can conceive or Im
agine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the
world.
No Sania . Claus! Thank God!
He lives and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now, he will
continue to make glad the heart
of childhood.

inite program.
Dean Walker, chairman of the
Oregon committee who is presid
ing at the meetings, said that to
day's conferences would be devo
ted to the development of a plan
Which It was hoped would be ad
opted sometime today.
Alfred A. Hampson of Portland
who is acting as attorney for the
Oregon committee was in attend
ance at both meetings yesterday.
The meeting of the three com
mittees came as result of sugges
tions made by California growers
that hop. men place themselves in
a position to avail themselves of
federal financial aid from the
funds obtained from tariff reven
ues on hop imports.
The Oregon growers did not
accept the California idea and
countered with a plan for the
formation of a voluntary cooper
ative hop growers association. It
was for the purpose of consoli
dating the various views that the
present meeting was called.
