SENATORS' OPINIONS

Washington, May 26. Prominent members of the Senate to-day characterised Japan's despatch of further troops to China as a new step towards the domination of Asia.

Senator Homer T. Bone, Democrat, of Washington, and a strong advocale of American neutrality, declared:

"Japan is literally exploding over into Eastern Asia due to the lack of population control. Under her milit: arist leadership the Japanese will continue to sprend in China until China organises herself satisfactorily to control her own affairs and to repel the Japanese.

Probably this occupation will bene At Japan only through providing an outlet for a virulent and netive people. However, the militarists would pro- mole this expansion in order to Justify the Budget expenditure, if for

NATION ANGERED BY BRITAIN'S ACTIONS

Rome, May 26.

War talk was renewed here to-day as the man who still calls himself the Emperor of Ethiopia approached Gibraltar, en route to London.

The mounting anger of Italians seemed to point clearly to a new period of dangerous tension. Britain is again in the spot-light for pursuing policies inimical to Italian interests.

The Italians' ire has been aroused because Great Britain placed the cruiser Capetown at Emperor Selassie's disposal. They are also angered because London is likely to become the focal point of anti- Italian propaganda.

It is indicated that Italian leaders are really
