WASHINGTON, D. O, April 33.
What makes the latest Japanese
nose-thumbing antic so serious la not
what has happened
so far, but what Is
coming.
The Rooaevelt
administration will
Inform the Jap
anese In one way
or another, that It
does not Intend to
let them tell us
what kind of com
mercial relations
we will maintain
I j
with China.
It will also per
Fau! Ma lion
mit Toklo to understand that we have
no authority to stop our civilian
aviators from training the Chinese
In peace time, that we do not Intend
to ask Japan what kind of loans we
shall make to China and that we
consider Japan's new gate-keeping
tactics in China as a flagrant viola'
tlon of the nine-power pact.
That is what Is known In undlplo
matte language universally as l
mouthful.
How that will be told to the Jap
anese remains for them to decide. It
may be pleasant or It may be rough
They passed out their preliminary
statement In Toklo In a semi-official
way. That Js the old diplomatic trick
to find out how the world chancel
lories feel before an official statement
Is sent out.
Our officials have been biting their
fingernails keeping quiet officially.
But they are not exactly making a
secret of their -reaction. Their views
undoubtedly already have been trans
mitted to Toklo through the unof
ficial grapevine.
Bo the Japanese know what to ex
pect when and if they start sending
out official notices of their new policy.
It Is a very silly business, viewed
from the Inside.
Our official cannot understand
why Japan ever took such a step at
this time.
The Japanese well know our unan
nounced attitude was to mind our
own business and leave Japan and
the Orient alone. On the QT we more
or less expected that Japan would
extend her influence over China by
economic aggression and perhaps
even some mild military steps.
We were prepared to let her do it
quietly in order to avoid trouble. We
were willing to go to any honorable
diplomatic extreme In order to avoid
a showdown in the far east.
What la behind this whole thing,
of course. Is the campaign Japan
started generations ago for the con
quest of the far east. First It was
Corea, then Manchukuo and now an
China. Eventually she will doml
nate all, but in her enthusiasm for
a hasty realization of her objective
she sometimes oversteps herself.
When Foreign Minister HiroU's
honeyed peace note came across the
Pacific a month ago our officials
thought it meant a lull of a few
rears in the Japanese campaign,
They thought that Japan's fear of
war with Russia had calmed her down
temporarily.
There are good reasons for believing
our sigh of relief then was Justified
But the very moment that Europe
became Involved in a new warm dis
armament squabble and our fleet left
the Pacific the Japanese statesmen
seized the opportunity to renew their
conquest project. They do not want
wsr. They want to gobble up tne
far eadt by diplomatic guile and com
mercial agjrrewlon. and this Is part
of the game.

WASHINGTON, April 23.
President Roosevelt gave the word
today for speeding up the gov
ernment's anti-crime bills In
congress as John DHIinger, the
desperado, was accused of killing
a federal agent.
MERCER, Wla., April 23. (AP)
John "Wooden Gun" Dillinger, will o'
the wisp terrorist, again eluded an
army of federal agents and deputy
sheriffs early today in a north woods
hideout, where he and atx men and
five women companions had hidden i
In an armed camp since last Friday.
His latest escape cost the lives of i
two men and the serious wounding of
four others.
Dillinger and six members of his
machine gun gang were at bay In
the woods of the Lac du Flambeau re
sort region. They were fleeing over
roads soft from melting snow, and a
force of 50 was close behind.
One department of Justice agent
was among the dead and another was
wounded.
Cornered In Tavern.
Cornered late last night In Little
Bohemia, a Spider Lake dance hall
and tavern nine miles southeast of
Mercer, Dillinger had had the nar
rowest escape of the weeks of pursuit
In which the government men have
trailed them about the country.
' Three young women wore left be
hind, and aurrendered when the be
aelglng forces filled the resort, a
sprawling building housing living
quarters, a bar and a cabaret, with
tear gas.
The first victim, a bystander, was
Eugene Boisoneau, killed outright by
the federal agents' fire as he and two
companions drove away from the re
sort. The shots warned Dillinger and his
band, who had taken forcible posses
sion of the resort Friday, mounting
a machine gun on the roof and post
ing lookouts.

They fled out a rear door and sepa
