Great Test
Thirteen Tears After "War to End
War" Countries Are Facing a
Difficult Problem
Washington Thirteen years after
the "war to end war." a world or
ganized for peace had on its hands
a oroblem as perplexing as ever iea
to armed conflict between . nations.
nut of ancient Manchuria came con
tinued reports of open Hostilities be
tween Japanese and Chinese rorces,
Cannon boomed an Insistent chal
lenge to the peace maxing machin
ery fashioned since the World war.
In Washington and In the cap!
tals of Europe, statesman bent their
efforts to the cause of peace witn
full knowledge that this is the great
test of the oath the vorld Has sworn
In the Kelloee-Briand pact. Presi
dent Hoover discussed the far eastern
crisis with his cabinet Tuesday, and
later Secretary Stinison received
from Ambassador Debushi of Japan
a fresh outline of that country's pos
ition.
This came In a memorandum from
the Tokyo government and reiterated
Japan's previous demand that China
guarantee the security of Japanese
lives and property as a prerequisite
to removal of troops from the trou
tied area. The communication was
in response to a memorandum sub
mitted thru Ambassador Forbes. The
United States is believed to have call
ed Japan's attention to its pledge to
respect China's "territorial and. ad
ministrative integrity" as set forth
in the nine power treaty signed here
tn lZ2.
Problem Complicated.
Altho Chinese and Japanese have
been firing at each other off and on
for nearly two months with attendant
bloodshed, the two nations officially
are not at war, which serves to com
plicate the problem of neutral states
men. '
The peculiar situation in Manchu
ria, where Japanese troops are al
lowed in Chinese territory under
treaty to guard a railroad, makes
it difficult to determine the aggres
sor. Normally, this could be detenn
ined by noting which nation had
crossed an international boundary. -
After some consideration, the Lea
gue of Nations decided that, boun
dary or no boundary, Japan had no
right to occupy Manchurian territory
outside of its railroad zone and called
upon Tokyo to withdraw its soldiers
by Nov. 16. This Japan has declined
to do unless its security demands are
satisfied. Washington thus far has
refrained from taking a public stand
on the question ot withdrawal, altho
apparently working quietly- in . co
operation with the League.
Both are reluctant to apply actual
pressure and are holding their big
cards for the end of the game, hop
ing' fervently that it will not be nec
essary to resort to diplomatic ostra
cism or economic boycott.
Treaty Eights Explained.
The view that the nine-power
treaty as well as the Kellogg-Briand
pact bears on the Manchurian situ
ation was expressed by Secretary
Stimson shortly after the trouble
started nearly two months ago.
The nine power treaty was drawn
up at the time of the Washington dis
armament conference to "stabilize
conditions in the far east" and to
safeguard the rights and interests
of China," as well as to establish the
open door" policy, for China trade.
"The participating nations were the
United States, Belgium, the British
empire, China, France, Italy, Japan,
The Netherlands and Portugal.
The contracting powers, other than
China, agreed "to respect the sover
eignity, the independence and the
territorial and administrative In
tegrity of China; to provide the full
est and most unembarrassed oppor
tunity to China to develop and main
tain from taking advantage of con
ditions in China in order to seek spe
cial rights or privileges which would
abridge the rights of subjects or citi
zens of friendly states."
The treaty further provides that
whenever a situation arises which in
the opinion of any of the contracting
powers involves the application of
its stipulations and makes discussion
advisable, "there shall be full and
frank communication," between
them. State Journal.
POLICE PUT ON CAEPET

A 20-year-old youth, George Noe
of Fullerton. Nance county, is Ne

Before a crowd oi 25,000 assem
bled at the Robert Shonka farm, near
Schuyler, for the eighth annual Ne
braska state cornhusking contest,
Noe. the youngest entrant, showed
the other contestants, Including four
past champions, how he could pick
23.78 bushels in 80 minutes' time.
. His closest contender was Harry
Prown, 23, of Beeraer, Cuming, who
picked 23.22 bushels. Both Noe and
Dicwn will represent Nebraska at
the national contest to be held next
Friday at Grundy City, la.
Henry Sorensen of Blair, Wash
ington, a favorite candidate for first
place, took third with 23.11 bushels,
falling below his count) contest fig
ure of 23.49 bushels.
Another, upset was that of last
year's champion, Guy Sims of Harlan
county, - who finished seventh with
I'Z.i. as compared to 27.6 last year.
None of the contestants reached
Sims' last year's mark.
Wins Prise.
Although winner of the $100 prise
offered by the Nebraska Farmer and
a chance to compete in the national
contest. Noe did not have the heav
lest total load of corn for the day.
He was bested by Henry Wlllms of
Sarpy county In this respect, the two
totals being 1,906 and 1.888 pounds.
Willms, however, fell behind when
total deductions of 544.78 pounds
were made for gleanings and husks as
compared to 222.73 pounds for Noe.
Noe won the Nance county con
test with only 17.40 bushels. "Tors
was his first year in state competi
tion and bis second in the county.
Last year, because of his unfamillar
Ity with the rules, he lost out in the
county. race, although he had picked
almost SO bushels. -'- ' ' -
"Thls year I didn't take any
chances, so I picked cleaner and
with more speed," he said.
He has Jiad plenty of practice, he
says, since he nas been picking corn.
more or less, since he was 8 years
old.
"There's Just a certain knack
to it, though, and after you get
that, you're all right." Noe ex
plained.. Both he and Brown averred they
would try their, best to get the na
tional championship for Nebraska.
"We'll sling 'em harder than,
we did if we can only get 'em .
out of the husks," they agreed.
Brown won the $60 prize offered
by the Nebraska Farmer, in addition
to $12.50 for the county champion
ship. No received nothing for his
county" competition.
"I don't know what I'll do
with the money yet," Noe said.
"I might give some of it to char
ity and help, the unemployed,
I don't know.
The same sentiment was express
ed by Brown.
The Shonka field, one of the best
in Nebraska this year, proved to be
a good place for the contest, although
recent winds bad blown down some
of the corn, delaying the contestants
a good deal.
Bain No Bother.
The contest started at 10:40 a. m.
and closed at 12 noon. s Shortly after
it ended a heavy rain tell, continuing
throughout the afternoon. This,
however, failed to dampen the inter
est of the thousands of farmers from
all parts of the state.
"This was one of the best
contests we have ever had," de
clared B t a t e Representative
Charles L. Jones. . Schuyler,
chairman of the committee In
charge. "Fortunately, the weath
er was dry and cool during the
contest so that all could take
part satisfactorily."
The majority of the farmers. Jones
said, were in good spirits over recent
grain price Improvements.
"They seem to have a differ
ent outlook on life now he
said.
A number of the snecial features
scheduled for the afternoon, includ
ing a football game between
rchuyler and Columbus, were can
celled because of the rain.
