MARKET SLUMP LINKED TO FAR EAST CRISIS SINO-JAPANESE WARFARE HELD Hl'KTINU TRADE HARD-PRESSED BRITONS FORCED SELL SECURITIES SIGNIFICANCE SEEN IN BRITISH EXPERT'S VISIT WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. A double strand is gradually being braided Into a powerful cable which may drag the United States Into action In the Par East shortly. The presi dent will have to face the Issue when he returns to Washington. The threads lead from wide cor ners of the world: The trade -blocked ports of China, the American stock market. As far as the public la con cerned, these thread of interest have lain loosely In their separate news columns, but American offic ials are supposed to know that they are being woven Into a tight cable by the deft hands of British diplo mats and financiers. To those who atteuded the last meeting of the president's cabinet, this la no secret. At least the subject was discussed, according to those who can read the unwritten minutes of these confidential meetings. Later It must have been the chief topic of conversation between Secre tary Morgenthau and the efficient Sir Frederick Phillips, fiscal ambas sador from Oreat Britain who spent a week in Washington- -recently-.- Secretary Morgenthau was tight lipped about those conversations and let the red herring of trl-partlte agreements, hot money, the stability of the franc and similar fish and fowl of rumor scurry across the path, undefled. But this Is the historic sequence of the developments as watched by certain silent observers: As August waned, the Japanese shells and air-bombs had blocked British trade In Shanghai and cut off millions of revenue. The water way to Hong Kong waa already men aced. By the end of the month, the New Tork stock market was shaky. By the time the cabinet met on September 15, when the aituatton waa discussed, the president. In all probability, had been Informed that the British, faced with their heavy losses in the Par Eaat, were forced to, anil American-held securities on the stock exchange. That week-end Sir Frederick ar rived and doubtless confirmed and developed the report and its signifi cance, perhaps made predictions. 11 so. they weren't long In being real- Ified, for, the day before he left, i Wall street witnessed Ita black Frl-1 day of 1037. Now. an mere economists scratcn their heads over the market crash and try to discover a method of pre venting future panics, those who assert that Brlttth diplomats have the answer step up with this advice to America: "Stop the Japanese and end the conflict in China so that world tradr will flow again. If you don't, you "11 Imperil your own recovery." (Continued on Page Four.) CUBS WIN, 7 TO 3, IN CHICAGO CITY SERIES CHICAGO.

That was the fifth, when consecutive singles by Jim Ripple and Johnny McCarthy, and a double-play grounder by Gus Mancuso brought in the Giants' only rin.

NetoPolia I or America Is Seen bt Hher Nations In Addts by Roosevelt By the Associated press President Roosevelt., tn the view of other nations has announced a new American policy of active cooperation to establish world peace. The president. In his Chicago speech 1 jss yesterday, indicted aggression and treaty breakers and asserted "Amer ica actively engages In the search for peace." Foreign nations today were quick to point to the address aa intimation that the United States la ready to abandon her policy of neurallty, and to support world action to maintain peace. But they disagreed as to Its feas ibility. Spur to League Plans League of Nations spokesmen at Oeneva considered the speech a time ly spur to league plana to summon signatories to the nlno power treaty Into consultation to deal with the Si no-Japanese conflict. Britain's cabinet met to consider both the Spanish and oriental war fare, considering the president's words to be an offer of cooperation In end ing at least the far eastern conflict. Gerraony's foreign office, through Its official newspaper, however, want ed to know exactly to which nations and treaties the president referred. If he wishes to take the Initiative In Improving world conditions, the German foreign office article said, the president should determine whether he "possesses strength enough actually to make Justice triumphant in the world.". Cites Wilson Failure The paper warned the president to remember -the "shipwreck" of Pres ident Wilson when he sought to safe guard peace for all time through the League of Nations. Japan warned of II daily that peace may be "difficult to maintain" f demands of the na tions which "have not" colonies and raw materials are Ignored. The two capitals, Madrid and Nan- Xing, that are righting enemies on opposite sides of the world viewed the president's words as threats to their foes. The Socialist newspaper of Valen cia, seat of the Spanish government, rang with praise for "this mighty opinion" and rejoiced at the weight they expected It would carry In Oe neva. Mr. Roosevelt's entire speech was spread on the front pages of Madrid newspapers without comment but with the headlines, "Americana want peace: Roosevelt energetically con demns policy of Invasion and Fasclct blackmail"; "Roosevelt accuses pro vocative nations." China Gratified In Nanking a spokesman for Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's govern ment declared the speech was "grat ifying to China as evidence that America is emorglng from Isolation ism and neutrality." "Especially welcome," he said, "la Mr. Roosevelt's Implied condemna tion of Japan when he said 'without warning or Justification civilians are being ruthlessly murdered'." The Jspanese foreign office com mented that "the Ideals of right as conceived by western peoples la In compatible to that of the orient." A spokesman said Japan's demand waa that the Japanese people be per mltted "to enjoy the freedom of movement and bspplnees which 1 rightfully theirs." RFC IRRIGATION Frank J.
