WAR ON JAPAN BY
CHINESE BREWING
San Francisco (LP) China will
unite eventually for a war of ag
gression against Japan, believes Dr.
Y. Y. Tsu, who conducted the fun
eral services for Sun Yat Sen, Chi
na's first president.
Dr. Tsu, who is professor of so
ciology at Saint John's unverslty,
Shanghai, member of the staff of
the Union Medical college at Pet
ping and oirector of the Pan-Pa-elfic
union, came to the United
States for the Institute of Interna
tional Relations.
As regards the present conflict
between the Canton and Nanking
governments, Dr. Tsu says:
"The situation Is much akin to
that in the United States Just be
fore the Civil war, with the two
southern provinces of China mov
ing to war and Gen.. Chiang Kai
shek, head of the Narking govern
ment, trying to hold them together.
"The south will not consolidate
' for two reasons Canton is the
home of the revolutionists, and sec
ondly, the two provinces are de
manding Immediate aggression
against Japan, whereas Chiang feels
that China must play a waiting
game.
But the eventual aim of all China
Is the same namely, aggression,
Dr. Tsu Insists.
"8ad as it may seen," he says,
the time has come when force
must be met with force. Japan has
left China no other course.
England now has special trains
which carry nothing I.Jt green peas.

AID IS ASKED FOR
FORGOTTEN FISH
Honolulu (IP) Federal aid has
been asked on behalf of the "for
gotten fish" of Hawaiian waters and
incidentally the fish with the long
est fish name In the world.
It Is the humuhumunukunukua
pausa. While big game angling and deep
sea commercial fishing In Hawaiian
waters are all to the good, it has
been discovered that things are not
going so well for the humuhumu
etc. This species, together with oth
er smaller fish who remain near
the shore, are disappearing. The
presumption Is that the feeding
grounds are not as good as formerly.
As a consequence, Frank H. Lo
cey, chairman of the board of agri
culture and forestry for the Terri
tory of Hawaii, has asked for a fed
eral appropriation to permit a sur
vey of the living conditions among
the smaller fry of Hawaiian fish,
including the humuhumunukunuku
apausa. It Is hoped to establish a New
Deal to rehabilitate the "forgotten
fish."
