PAGE TWO Japs Hide Chagrin Over Lapse Of Treaty With U.S. Public Diverted Against British Feeling Fanned Deliberately Over Removal Of German Sailors TOKYO, Jan. 26 (P) -This historically significant date the end of trade treaty relations with the United States for the first time in 86 years--occasioned little public interest today, although the possibility of grave developments recognized. commented briefly, deploring the econostates "weapon" which the holds over Japan, and some criticizing Japan's "weak diplomacy." Yakichiro Suma, spokesman for the foreign office, said at a press conference that the government was depending on "the common sense" of the United States to prevent the tuncastrelationse.on to with a "day-to-day basis." End of the treaty leaves the United States free to exert economic pressure on Japan half of U.
S. interests in China, and the Japanese foreign office said last. night relations would "under strain." 39 Public attention was diverted by the controversy over the British removal of 21 German passengers from the Japanese steamer Asamu Maru, Sunday, an incident which authoritative sources said was "very serious." Feeling Fanned Deliberately Observers expressed belief that strong anti-British sentiment was being aroused deliberately, in order to switch attention from the lapse of the United States treaty. Failure to adjust AmericanJapanese relations was, primarily responsible for downfall of the cabinet of Premier Gen. Nobuyuki Abe only 12.
days ago. The Asama Maru affair was portrayed as a concrete case, striking deeply at Japanese pride. Suma said the foreign, war and communications ministries were conferring regularly, but declined to disclose any decisions on the Asama "I am of the impression," he said, "that national feelings are rising very high, and will not be cooled by the lapse of time." The British ambassador, Sir Robert Leslie Craigie, visited ForMinister Hachiro Arita last night to explain a statement made to the press, outlining Britain's position before replying formally to the Japanese protest on the Asama Maru incident. The foreign minister did not protest the ambassador's statement, but criticized it sharply, and the newspaper quotation, base and insulthi's of Suma as saying, ing," was described as "generally correct." The ambassador had told the press that Britain was within her rights under international law in stopping the liner. Situation Is Serious Authoritative observers of other nations said they believed the situation was serious, because both sides had advanced too far to retreat gracefully--Japan by demanding the return of the Germans, and Britain by insisting she has the right to prevent Germans crossing the Pacific.
Police closely restricted demonstrations, but eight petitions have been presented to the British embassy, and a petition was read at the front entrance of the British consulate in Yokohama. The principal Japanese concern was whether the United States would curtail sales of materials necessary for continuation of the undeclared war in China. The United States Department of State informed Japan last Monday that future commercial re- 4P WAR GAMES IN THE SNOW -NEAR SUB-TROPICS-Snowfall at Camp Shelby, near Hattiesburg, 70 miles from the sub-tropical Mississippi gulf -gave something of a Finnish war appearance to winter maneuvers of the 155th Infantry of the Mississippi National Guard.

Harrington told reporters that 700,000 more WPA workers would have to be dismissed before June, if the agency is to stay within its appropriation. At the same time, the department reported a gain of nearly 250,000 general employment between mid-November and mid-December.
The expansion was ascribed largely to retail store employment, but factory payrolls also showed a contraseasonal increase. lations would depend on the Japanese attitude toward the rights of Americans in China, and made plain that there would be no formal exchange of notes covering stop-gap trade relations.

Iron and oil dealers were hopeful that American exporters would prevent any reduction of shipments, and financiers foresaw no direct effect on foreign exchange.

26 (P)- Political leaders set up campaign machinery today for the most hectic electioneering battle in 20 years, as a result of the Dominion government's call for a general vote to put its war record up to the people. In a swift-moving drama which surprised many members, Parliament was dissolved late yesterday through an address from the throne by Governor-General Lord Tweedsmuir, calling for an early "direct and unquestioned mandate from the The earliest possible election date is March 26. Canadian election laws require an eight-week period between dissolution and election day. The cabinet was summoned to decide today if the March 26 date would be acceptable. Prime Minister W.
L. MacKenzie King announced in Parliament the this country that he was prepared to "'allow whom want to administer peoplhof the country," in view of recent attacks of Canada's war program. "Political opponents, who are seeking to undermine every effort that is put forward by this administration," were blamed by MacKenzie King for the necessity of election. Apparently he referred to Ontario Premier Mitchell Hepburn's attacks on alleged inefficiency in the Dominion government's prosecution of the war. Hepburn a week ago told his provincial legislature that Canadian troops were ill-equipped, and he pushed through a motion censuring the "little effort" made in the war by the Ottawa regime.

Approximately 50,000 families have been surplus commodities welfare agencies, receiving, not including 20,000 in Jefferson county, who obtain them through a food-stamp plan. Miss Dunn estimated 5,000 to 10,000 would receive "second helpings." U.S.-Japanese Continued From Page One tee, however, of a compromise on these proposals.
Senator George (D-Ga) suggested a milder restriction to forbid the shipment of materials essential to the defense of the United States. Other members said such a proposal probably would have to be applied to all countries, if it were imposed. Senator Schwellenbach (D- Wash), author of legislation to ban shipments of raw materials Japan, declared a that he would press for action on his bill when the committee meets next week. Chairman Pittman (D-Nev) of the committee also has an embargo proposal pending, but he has not indicated when he will call it up for action.

Poll Taxes Under Fire In 3 Southern States Mississippi, Arkansas Mississippi, Arkansas And Virginia Debate Repeal On Revision ATLANTA, Jan. 26 -The of debate poll, prerequisite to votSouthern tax, long a subject ing, is under fire again in several strongholds this presidential year. Efforts are under way in Arkansas, Mississippi and Virginia, three of eight states in which the levy of $1 to $3 a year is collected from voters, to eliminate or revise the governing statutes. "Why should we disfranchise a man because he is poor?" is a question advanced by Governor Paul B. Johnson of Mississippi, It is a question raised off and on in the South, unique in its large negro population and onepolitical system, since Georgians tax provision in their Constitution of 1877.
Proponents insist it is a head tax for revenue; not an election levy. But collection efforts are nominal (Georgia's assessments return less than $500,000 annually from a population of and the effect upon balloting is unmistakable. Only about one person in nine is a voter in the poll area, and most of them are Democrats. The ratio is one-in-three in some states north and west. Two poll tax bills are before Mississippi legislative committees.
One would eliminate the tax as a primary election requirement. The other proposes reduction of the voting requirement from two years' poll taxes to one year. The tax is set up in the state Constitution. Johnson recommended repeal in a speech Jan. 16, dedicating his administration to a program of "benefits for the average man." Mississippi's U.
S. senators are on opposite sides of the fence, Theodore G. Bilbo advocating r'epeal; Pat Harrison opposing it. Repeal of the Arkansas law as it affects old age and blind pensioners is sought in a proposed constitutional amendment, initiative petitions for which are circulating. In Virginia, Governor James H.
Price has recommended reduction of the tax from $1.50 to reduction in the requirement that three years' tax must be paid as a. prerequisite to voting; a shorter period than six months prior to elections for payment, and a more earnest effort to collect the taxes. Other poll tax states are Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Poll tax laws have been repealed in Florida, Louisiana and North Carolina.
