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.

Will Quit Only When Elected
Governor Is Emphatic
Word Intends to Name
Own Successor, He Boasts
SALEM, April 34. (AP) With an
emphatic "no" Rufus C. Holman to
day answered the question whether
he would resign his office as state
treasurer while he was campaigning
for election as governor, and declared
he would not quit his office until he
waa governor. He added he would
then appoint his own successor,
In hia statement, released to the
press today the treasurer, who la a
candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for governor, declared : "I
will not leave the great responsibility
already given me unless the people
choose me to assume a greater one
the governorship. In that event I will
assume all the powers and responsi
bilities of that great office, One of
these responsibilities is to fill certain
vacancies as they may occur.
Will Name Successor.
"Then, and not until then, will
occur a vacancy In the office of state
treasurer. I will then appoint a state
tressurer to complete the then unex
pired term, Just as all previous gov
ernors have filled vacancies since the
beginning of constitutional govern
ment In Oregon. He will be a pro
gressive from that congressional dis
trict not then represented on the
state board of control, and one who
la well qualified to be a safe custo
dian of state funds, and who may be
expected to co-operate with me in
putting promptly into effect the pro
gressive principles of government now
so long delayed."
In introduction to his statement,
Holman declared -that his resigning
"would be playing right Into the
hands of the power trust, other sel
fish Interests and my political ene
mies, and thereby would tend to de
feat the entire purpose of my elec
tion. At no time have I neglected,
nor am I now neglecting, nor will I
neglect any of my public duties as
state treasurer. My name on the bal
lot does not in any way embarrass my
loyal activities In state administra
tion. Therefore, my answer la em
phatically 'no'.'
Holman declared that If he la nomi
nated the "very interests which now
are raising the ghost of my Imme
diate resignation, and who pretend
to be so concerned about it, will In
any event aupport the Democratic
nominee if he will accept their secret
requirements."

FROST EVIL DIMS
Crop prospects In the Rogue River
valley were brightened by the rain of
the past two days. County Horticul
turist Lyle P. Wilcox reported today,
with the further cheery news, "If we
get by the clearing up of the present
storm, frost danger for'tho year will
be ovor."
Woather bureau figures show that
.60 of an Inch of rain fell In the past
two days, with a heavy shower this
morning between 2 and 8 o'clock.
Relative to blight conditions In the
valley. Horticulturist Wilcox said, "It
Is, speaking generally, no worse than
In previous years, and will not effect
to any considerable extent the total
pear production. It la true that In
dividual orchardlsta have serious
blight problems, but It Is not general,
or anywhere near epidemic form.'
A number of orchardlsts report
blight in varying degrees and that
the showera "Jazzed It up on the top
side,"
Development of peara la now four
weeks ahead of last' year, and moat
of the pears are the size of large
marbles, Wilcox said.
Cherries are now one-half to three'
quarters grown, apricots three-quarters
grown, early varieties of peaches
half gown and In some orchards
"about ready to thin," Wilcox reports.
Gardens of the valley are In "ex
ceptionally good condition," and the
rain waa of especial benefit to them.
Grain and all shallow rooted crops
come under the same heading.
The rain was particularly welcome
in the Talent district, where It mois
tened the ground, halted evaporation
of moisture, refreshed the trees and
livened up atreams flowing into the
irrigation storage dams that supply
the district. Farms and orchards
located on hillsides, and high ground
profited,
Horticulturist Wilcox said that
alfalfa was benefitted "Immensely,"
also grain orops. Ho said that the rain
might have caused some of "the head
ing grain to fall," but It was slight,
and the benefits "exceeded any loss."
