Avs 1 ACCUSED LAWYER By PAUL MAIXON. (Copyright, 1034, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, D. C, April 24. The Japanese dare not flay It open ly, but they are coming around now, ' whispering In the eari ot our offi cials that their new gate -keeping policy 1 n China was not directed at us, but at France The Japanese say they had Inside In formation about a new loan Prance was making to China. This loan ostensibly was to strengthen Chinese banks, but the Japanese assert the money really was going Into muni tions. The security for the loan was to be certain concessions In the Interior of China and on the Yangtze river. Everybody knows China never would be able to pay the loan, so such a transaction would only mean that the French were purchasing new for eign concessions in China. Our people are suspicious about auch whispered diplomatic explana tions, especially when these come irom the Japanese. The Japanese record for diplomatic veracity la con Ideragly under 100 per cent. Our offical far eastern experts are more Inclined to believe that the Jap anese were shooting at the League of Nations. The league's far eastern com mission is to meet early next month to decide what to do about Japan's conquest of Manchuria. All that does not explain, however, why Japan specifically attacked American trade relations with China. Our state department crowd has . heard from Japanese sources that Japan will not give us an opportunity to respond to her new Chinese pol icy. Apparently -the .matter Is to. be left In its present unofficial condi tion. No official announcements of the policy are to be sent out from Tokyo. The only btg bad wolves who live In that little red house In George town are Tom Corcoran (RFC attor ney) and Ben Cohen (PWA attorney). The three or four others who live with them are not outstanding new dealers. The "little house" is one of the largest "mansions In that section. Jim Landis (FTC) lives ten 'miles away In Virginia. Professor Tugwell (AAA) resides in his own house sev eral blocks away. They are all work ing so hard at their Individual tasks that they rarely get together. About the only thing they have In common Is that they all lfvo In houses and hate Wall street. Leroy Peterson (consumers' council, AAA) Is now known In gangland cir cles as "Dangerous Pete." He was building a code for an In dustry controlled, unoeanown to mm, by the racketeers. In a conference with him in New York they started to rough .him up a little. Assuming them to be ordinary business men, Teterson roughed them right back. He laid down the law to them, and won his point. Later, he noticed several guns stick ing out of their back pockets, but, by that time, the gangsters enjoyed Peterson's style so much they oflered him $25,000 a year to represent them on the code authority. He declined and became the government's repre sentative at something like 6000. The Russians say they .have confi dential diplomatic Information of a eret alliance between Japan and Oermany. Earlier in the spring, the Russians expected to be attacked by Japan, on one hand, and by Ger many. Poland and Finland on the other. Rumors of such an alliance have long been current, yet lack authorita tive substantiation. If you want to read the best brief opposing arguments In the current debate on the new deal, get the speeches of Eugene Meyer and Pro fessor Tugwell before the American Society of Newspaper Editors here. Professor Tugwell's speech was as carefully prepared as any new deal statement of policy that has gone cut of the drpartment of agriculture. It is the first able answer to current new deal criticism. Meyer presented the other side better than has been done before. Members of Roosevelt's Harvard graduating class ssy that the reunion held at the White House waa the driest and most colorful In the class' 30-year history. Senator Borah was the man behind the curtains who Induced the sllver Ites to resist Mr. Roosevelt's Idea on permissive rather than mandatory powers. Borah bit on that one once before and was disappointed when the president failed to use the silver powers congress gave him. The Roosevelt dollar policy Is cost ing the carnegia peace endowment S50.0O0 a year to pay the dollar dis parity for its workers abroad. SALEM, Ore., April 24. (AP) Wil liam M.
