Japan Ready For Further Exploitation Of China

(By A .'l‘. Steels, Associated Press Stafl Writer) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

SHANGHAI, llbb. Idr-Iong-her- aided schemes for Sine-Japanese cooperation in the exploitation of China's vast natural resources are nearing realization, a sirrvay dis- closed tonight.

While British and United States interests stand cautiously aloof, Ja- panese capitalists are laying the ground for heavy investments in mines, industries, railways and ag- ricultural projects throughout Chi-

na.

In the rich and teeming Yangtze Valley Japanese capital plans to intrench itself through the medium of the newly-organ ‘ Sine-Japan- ese trade council. s group ci Ohin- ese and ' bankers, business men and oilicials.

Simultaneously, in North China. a broad rcgram ior the develop- ment oi ‘basic industrl " is get- ting underway. under the aegis oi

' the Japanese army.

Organisation of the Sine-Japan- ese trade council was the outcome oi a goodwill visit by Chinese bus- iness leaders and omcials to Japan. The board oi direc‘ oi the new trade Kromction group contains many " ig names," including heads or the important banks of the two countries. Japan's great investment houses, Mltslblshi and Matsui, are also . presented.

day.

v:ntion in bushiess to insure a square deal ior labor and consum- ers was upheld in the House oi Commons today by Trade Minister Euler. Governments, he said, some- times must invade the field oi bus- iness as a duty to the country as a whole.

The Trade Minister, long reg-ard- ed as a disciple of public ownership. stepped into a debate today on ‘a resolution of J. S. Wcodsworlb, C. C. F. lender, urglnfthat the [W- crnrnent socialize industries and financial institutions which were found to be operating to the dis- advantage oi the country.

rustic owivansnrr mas

Mr. Euler admitted he was a public-ownership man but not to the extent outlined in the Woods- worth motion which he believed went altogether too far.

“In certain cases," Mr. Euler said. “government intervention in busi- ness ls an absolute necessity and duty, there are occasions-they ex- ist _tcday, I believe-when it be- comes the duty oi flwmlllents to “hitervenerwhvrr-ae ' “bestows-u- ganization takes advantage of its power t0 oppress its workers or un- duly exploit the consumer. If we have no statutes which enable the government to intervene it becomes the duty oi the government to en- act such laws so it can cope with the situation."

Cheered On stand

Later thc'Minister said the gov- eminent had every intention of meeting its obligations in this re- gard. Hls statement brought pro- longed desk-pounding from Liberal members.

The debate all day was academic and will form a strange contrast to the discussion tomorrow when the Canadian-American reciprocity agreement is up ior ratification. Premier MacKenzie King is expect- ed to move ratification, to be iol- lowed by Conservative leader Ben- nett who will oppose it.

Mr. Wocdsworth talkcd out his own rcsolutiuon at the ll o‘clock adjournment hour and it will not be debated again until later in the session. The Liberals and Conser- vatives who spoke were opposed to it and at least one Social Crediter said his group was opposed to so- cialization oi industry.

League Must Bi-Supported With Force As Well .As Sentiment Says British Iigreign Secretary.

(By George Hambleton, Canadian Press Stuff Writer) (C. P. Cable By Guardiams Special Wire)

LONDON, Feb. 24-Briiuin’s foreign policy remains

one of active support oi’ the League of Nations and a gen- eral acceptance of the theory. oi collective security.

In grave tones youthful Anthony Eden made this clear in his first speech in the House of Commons as Foreign Secretary today.

In an extensive review of the British position in foreign affairs he summarized the various aspects of the com- pllcated problems but con- cluded with the declaration that in the particular as well as in the general the British government found the sol- utiouthrough the League of Nations.

But the League of Na- tions must be supported with force as well as senti- —— ment. And ior its part Brit- ANTHONY EDEN ain was prepared to plays full part in carrying out tho‘ Leagues decisions. “Britain must be strong" in spiritan flwlqfor li- lB only by this method we shall achieve" th international order and peace for which the world ha

He asserted further that a case had not been made out ior iri- creased armaments. ‘its-pound son was born to the for mer Barbara Hutton today and be- gan life with. the twin assets of a European title and the prospect of inheriting a. Woolworth fortune. Both the mother, the 23-year-old. Countess Barbara Hutton Hang- witz-Rcventlow, and the little Count were reported tonight to be doing "very well." The baby was born at 10.30 am.

Collective Security

The iinal objective oi the British government was a. world-wide sys- tem oi collective security embracing all nations, said the Foreign Sec- retary. That ideal might still be far oii but it could only be realized by strengthening the authority of the existing system by encouraging the cooperation of other nations.

“We must not be afraid oi living up to the traditions pi the page, Time was when Britain gave par- liamentary government to the world. She must now be ready to play a part in building up a new world or- der. It is to that task we must. ap- ply ourselves. If we succeed we shall have to bring others along with us and we shall not be able to do that unless other nations are convinced oi our sincerity and our strength."

This “world-wide system of col- lective security" must attain an authority "unchallenged and un- challcngcable." It must be made clear to an aggressor that the odds against success in any breach oi system agreements, whether the ag- Eleascr be within or without the system, would be insurmountable. "The British government will have no lot or part ln an individual or minority policy or choir-clement," declared Eden. (This was noted by some observers as a further indica- tion oi’ Britain's hesitation in form- ing "a. ping oi steel" around Ger- many.
