They "re a lack of a demand for the power Mich would be developed, and the ex jrtinj surplus of agricultural products lathe country, making the placing of more new land under cultivation ap pear undesirable.

Chinese Fear Action Aimed At Wiping Chinese From Region NANKING, Dec. 21. 4 A new note to the League of Nations and another statement, interpreted here as a direct appeal to the United States under the nine-power treaty and the Kellogg-Briand pact, were issued by Dr. Wellington Koo. Chinese foreign minister, today as reports of a new Japanese drive came from Manchuria. t Officials, professing great perturba tion over thn reports, from which it appeared Chinchow might be the ob jective of the Japanese thrust, ex pressed the belief that "most danger ous complications" are likely "unless the Jnpanese refrain from further ac tion." Dr. Koo's new note to the league called attention to "the new serious situation" and said the Chinese mili tary forces about Chinchow would "be compelled, in self-defense, to re sist if the Japanese attack the town." In the subsequent statement from the foreign office Dr. Koo declared Manchuria is an integral part, of China and China has every right to control it. If this important part of Chinese terirtory is allowed "to be made a prise of Japanese aggres sion" he said, and thpreby become a cradle of future war. "it will not only endanger peace in the far east but will shake the faith of mankind in the brighter outlook upon the world since the great war. Dr. Koo further recalled the pnrt various American statesmen have played in upholding the integrity of China from "predatory powers." The Japanese invasion, he said, violates article one of the nine-power treaty and also the Kctlocg-Briand pact and the covenant of the League of Nations. Observers here expressed the opin ion that the renewed Japanese mili tary activities hnve led the Chinese government to believe that the Japan ese have begun the final phase of a movement which is destined to oblit erate the last semblance of Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria and to place in its stead a permanent Japanese ad ministration.

ARGUMENTS N WHEELER SUIT Constitutionality of High School Fund Law Attacked LARGE LOSS IS CITED 'Big Four'1 Declares Money Insufficient For Teaching Cost Arguments in the suit of the Big Four of Lane county school districts attacking the constitutionality of the county high school fund law, com monly known as the Wheeler law, were commenced in circuit court here Monday forenoon before Judge H, D. Norton of Medford, operations of the law cause a loss of ?10,50O for the current school yenr for the Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove and Junction City high school districts because of the large number of students coming to these schools from non-high school districts, the pmintnts contend. Violation Charged Ihe law, setting an arbitrary amount to be paid the districts tor the tuition of each student without regard to the cost-of instinct ion, leaves the district to levy taxes to make up the deficit and thus violates the statu and federal constitutional provisions of depriving anyone of life or property without due process of law, declared Judge Lawrence T. Harris, attorney ior me piDimius, II. K. Slattery. special defense at torney representing members of the district boundary board and county officials iinmed as defendants in the suit, asked dismissal of the suit, the defense demurring on the grounds that the plaintiffs had not presented proper grounds for the suit and that they were not properly qualified to untune i lie suit. Air. Mattery did not argue tne last point. The court allowed Judge Harris five days in which to submit a brief of his argument against the demurrer and gave Mr. Slattery a similar length of time in which to file his reply, thus making it unlikely that a ruling nn the matter be returned before rew lcar s day. Students Said Welcomed In spite of their claims that caring fr.r the students from the non-high school districts was causing them to lose money, the Big Four welcome these students and even solicit their enrollment, claimed Mr. Slattery. As an instance, he cited the arrangement by which Springfield nbsorbed the stu dent body of the Walterville high school this last fall, bringing the stu dents into the city by menus of school bus. The school districts, declared Mr. Mattery, are in effect state agencies operated for the common good and thus are not to be considered as Indi viduals.
