Two Japanese civilians were re- ported murdered by Chinese mobs in Shanghai.

TOKYO, Aug. i0—i'1‘liursday)— Japan has only begun to fight, the Japanese press declared today in reporting spreading hostilities that. were rapidly developing into a large-scale war throughout North China.

The newspapers hailed as a dc- vclopment of the greatest impor- tance u. bombardment yesterday of the Chinese airport, at. Nanklng. capital of China, claiming 21 planes had been destroyed.

_ fending Nankow pass.

Mayor Pierre Nouvenu himself. who had a tdephone conversation today with Amcrlcnn Ambassador William C. Bulllit. asserted:

"I was told tirirtnry attacker was young Roosevelt although I had never seen him before. I regret to say that I am certain now it was Mr_ Roosevelt. I wish the whole affair were ended."

Incidental indirect references to Llie di allowance of Alberta legis- lation by the Federal Government yesterday and i0 the recent con- troversy over the United States Supreme Court added a timely note to the enunciation of legal prin- ciples.‘

Rt. Hon. Emest Lapoiirtc, Min- isicr of Justice, raid governments should set an example to their citizens in law observance. If they wished the people to obey law they should ihcm elves observe the con- stituiinit which was the supreme law. Ye terday Mr. Lapointe re- commended to the Cabinet dis- allowance of the Alberta bills.

The Minister" was introduced by Senator" J. W. de B Ferris of Van- couver as a man who "only ye - tr-rdrrv performed a public drit_\' in the interests cf the citizens of Canada." Mr. Lhpoiutc had de- clared that no citizen of Canada should be denied the right of a h ring in the courts. He had n the right, of the lowest cf zcir “even a banker" to lay his ;ricvairces before an impartial judicial authority.

Says Canada Will Join In Next British War

LAKE COUUHILCHIING. Ont. Aug. lti-WPJ-Canada will go in- to the next war "behind the British government." Prof. F, H. Under- hill of the University of Toronto Hiifi in an address today to the

Canadian Institute of Economics airil politics To say that Can- adians will decide themselves whether to fight is “pretense?

Prof, Underhill believed.

“Cf course there will be a great deal of squirming in certain quart- ers but the decision has already b0?" muclc. Our minds have been made up for us: We are golnginto the next British war so what I say fs completely academic," he said in his address on Canada's foreign policy.

"The way the new policy of the government and its propaganda hypocrisy was put over is nauseat- ing. The pretense that no com- mitments had been made and Canadians could make up their minds whether they would join Britain was completely nauseatingg The government has decided to join in the next British war but they don't think it is expedient to say so."

Evidence of Canada's stand was seen in the $36,000,000 estimate “jammed through parliament un- dcr pretense of Canadian defence to briy bombers and other war materials." said Prof. Underhili. He saw other signs in the ‘mas- terly inactivity of Mr. Bennett (former Canadian Prime Minister and present Opposition leader) who allowed the Canadian en- tanglemcnt to be done by a Liber- nl-Nntional government. and in the new note in the speeches and attitude of university professors and United Church ministers."

"'I'he speaking of university pro- fessors is the best wcathcrcook in the country." he continued. "You see the same signs ii’ you watch the clergy of the United Church."

In his own opinion, the United States wou‘d be with Britain in the next war_ After 100 years 0i‘ chagrin "it gradually (lnwned on the British Government that the function of the United States is to make the world safe for the British Ilmnltfl"
