COTTONSEED Oil, IM1 STRY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. If the
general staff in Tokyo had been able
to read In advance the last word In
the sixth paragraph from the end of
the president's Tuesday night speech,
It might have sent out different or
ders to the armies in the field.
The president said it was .his pur
pose to "cooperate" with the signa
tories of the nine-power treaty, "in
cluding China and Japan."
President Roosevelt's earlier threat
of a "quarantine" of the "aggressor"
nations, which, as revealed In this
column at the time, startled some of
bis advisers, had an immediate effect
on the Japanese campaign In north
ern China. At least this la so If the
Washington experts are reading their
maps aright.
This hint at possible American
"intervention" is credited with hav
ing sent out "full speed ahead" or
ders from Toklo which sent Japanese
troops plunging ahead In the north.
In order to protect the advance
around Pclplng, repeated announce
ments have been made of "big
pushes" at Shanghai which never
come off. suggesting a ruse to hold
the flower of the Chinese army In
the south. The ruse hasn't worked,
however, for Chiang Kai-Shek is now
moving troops northward.
The kind words extended to con
gress In the president's Tuesday
speech, and especially to the south
ern congressmen who were reported
to be sulking tn their tents, were
backed with deeds.
On the eve of the announcement
of the special session, the depart
ment of agriculture announced that
the cottonseed oil producers were
going to get a generous largess from
Mr. Morgenthau.
Next to cotton growing', the cot
tonseed oil Industry is the most

Church in Far East
Told to Cooperate
In Bolshevism Curb
By CHARLES II. OUPTILL
VATICAN CITY. Oct 14. (p) A reliable Vatican son ire said today the
Holy See. In rarrylng out the Cat hollo church's worldwide campaign
against Bolshevism, had Instructed Its hierarchy and missions In the Far
Kast to cooperate with Japanese action In China "wherever Bolshevist
danger appears active."
These orders, the Vatican source
said, have gone out in a private mem
orandum defining the Vatican's posi
tion In the Stno-Japancse conflict.
Treat Wounded Alike.
These make plain, however, the
Vatican Informant added, that com-
I plete impartiality is the rule In min
istering to the wounded of either
side.
Tills action. It was asserted by the
Vatican source, coming after the rec
ognition of insurgent Spanish Gen
eralissimo Franco's regime In Spain
and after numerous recent assertions
of the pope vigorously condemning
communism, seemed to Indicate the
determination of the Vatican to carry
on relentless war against the spread
of communism as Inimical to the
church.
Instructions Given.
Tills same quarter said that Japan's
action "tends to arrest Bolshevist
penetration In Asia." and that the
memorandum contains eight specific
Instructions, the more significant of
which are summarised as follows:
"To assist the wounded on both
sides.
"To preach the necessity of China's
comprehending the precept of Jap- I
ancse civilization and divesting her
self, especially In certain districts,
of ferocious Mongolian Influence.
"To point out that China's vaat
ness, provided the people rediscover
the standards of their ancient civilis
ation, will tend to permit gradual
absorption of Japanese influence.
Wherever Bolshevist danger ap
pears active, to support, without re
serve, Japanese action.
"To give Japanese military author
ities the clear Impression, that on the
part of the Catholic church, there Is
obstacle to complete collabora
tion."
No Intervention,
The Vatican source summed up the
church's policy as follows:
It abstains from every sort 01 in
tervention between parties at war.
since all men whom war massacres
are dear to Its heart, and since It
hopes soon to see a reconciliation.
But it takes care not to hamper
In any way the swift activity of the
Japanese army, which, even though
It may aspire to final hegemony in
China, has the immediate concern of
obstructing any Bolshevist design."

U. S. MARINE HIT
AS JAPS LOOSEN
Bloody Shanghai Strafed
for Two Hours American
Marines Forced to Evacu
ate Cotton Mill Quarters
STIANOHAT. Oct. 14. -(?) -The worst
bombardment in Shanghai's bloody
warfare raked the International set
tlement today, killing or wounding
scores of Chinese civilians and wound
lng a United States marine.
Marines were forced to evacuate I
two .huge cotton mills Inside their
defense lines where they had been j
quartered. These structures were hit1
by shells believed to have been fired !
from Japanese guns. I
None of the marines billeted In the
mills was wounded but Milton Hlatt,
private In the fourth regiment, was
struck In the shoulder by a rifle bul
let while on duty Inside a machine
gun defense works.
Sailor Injured
A sailor aboard the United States
flagship Augusta, J. P. MoMlchael,
was Injured slightly by shrapnel from
Japanese shells spraying the cruiser
at anchor In the Whangpoo.
For two hours the Japanese and
Chinese blazed away at each other
with the most extensive fire laid down
in the Shanghai fighting. Beside ar
tillery batteries, Japanese warships In
the river, machine gun and rifle fire,
the hall of death-dealing missies and
explosives was augmented by aerial
bombardment.
Chinese and Japanese plane squad
rons fought overhead as ground forces
battled for possession of approaches
to the city and fighting swirled
around the edges of the barricaded
International settlement.
Heavy Property Lots
American proptrey . In this once-
wealthy commercial city was disclos
ed to have suffered further damage
from Japanese air bombs. It was
learned six foreign homes In-the west
ern district of Shanghai which the
Japanese destroyed had belonged to
an American real estate concern.
The houses were tenanted by Oer-
mans and Britishers, all of whom hap
pened to be away when the air raid
ers came. The houses were marked
with huge flags designating their ten
ants' nationality.
One British tenant charged that
the bombardment of these houses was
"willful and without purpose, as
there were no Chinese troops within
half a mile and It was Impossible not
to see the flags."

SPECIALjESSION
Prolonged Jam Feared by
Administration Strategists
Determined Hostility
Displayed by Southerners
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. Ad
ministration strategists, seeking swift
approval of a five-point program at
the special session of congress next
month, faced the possibility today of
a prolonged Jam over the an tl -lynch
ing bill.
The senate, to get out of a parlia
mentary tangle Ip August, agreed for
mally to make the antl-lynchlng
measure a special order of business
Immediately after a vote on farm
legislation at the next session.
This agreement, parliamentarians
said, was so worded that It holds for
the special session called by Pres-1
Ident Roosevelt,
Leaders expressed the belief the
agreement would not endanger wage-
hour or farm legislation but would
throw a serious obstacle In the way '
of the president's three other propos
als.
These are government reorganisa
tion, creation of regional planning
authorities modeled after the TVO.
and strengthening of the anti-trust
laws.
The wage-hour bill already has
passed the senate and would not be
sidetracked by the antl-lynchlng de
bate unless the administration should
unexpectedly abandon the bill now
awaiting house action and should sub
mit a new one.
No legislation In recent years has
stirred such determined group hos
tility as the antl-lynchlng bill. It
passed the house this year, but never
has even reached the stage for formal
debate In the senate because of fil
ibusters. When the farm bill Is out of the
way, however, the antl-lynchlng bill
can be displaced only by a majority
vote.
