Counsel for Buckner said Buckner needed $5,000 to travel to Monilni and the committee voted to borrow this money.
Judgo's Ruling
Walden said that in response to a call from Gilleaple, he went to Washington in the summer of 1937. Gillespie met him and described the previous night's "big party of wine, women, song and Senators," Wit ness identified a letter dated Decem-|
·ber 14, 1937 from Gillesple with un enclosure.
Norton objected to this testimony as regards Buencamino as his name was not mentioned in the letter.

"This Way To Escape STARVATION
The Bombs"
洞
Kwangtung's town of Shekki has been subjected to so many Japanese air raids recently; that the Chinese authorities there conceived the ingenious idea of assisting inhabitants to escape the bomba by erecting indicatore pointing the way to bomb-proof shelters. This picture shows the method. The figure of a bomb is suspended over the doorway of the shelter, and a finger sign points to the entrance. Hundreds of people have benefited from this neat idea.

LONDON, June 15.
IT HAS BEEN authoritatively stated that the British and French embassies in Tokyo on Wednesday sent
a joint memorandum to the Japanese Foreign Office protesting against the Japanese spokesman's declaration that the Japanese have the right to assume the sovereignty of the foreign settlements in China.
These representations were parallel with thoso made by the United States during the previous week.
Secondly, they reminded the Japanese Foreign Office that before the outbreak of hostilities Japan was always foremost in resisting Chinese intervention in the foreign settlements.
Thirdly, the memorandum emphasised that even if Japan: inherits the sovereign rights, which is not conceded, this does not grant the Japanese more valce in administering the settle- ments than the Chinese enjoyed.
Fourthly, the memorandum said that municipal authori tics in the settlements are doing their utmost to eliminate the anti-Japanese intrigues in foreign areas and neutral settlements.

BLUFF
FAILS SAYS PAPER
LONDON, June 15.
THE Daily Telegraph writes in its leader on Tientsin that the initial moves in this game intended to secure a position by bluff, have evidently not succeeded, and it remains to be seen how willing the Japanese may be to recede from a false position or how far they may go in an attempt to increase the pressure exorcised on British communities in the Far East.
Co-operation between Britain,| France and the United States is desirable and more likely in view of the possibility of new Japan- ese moves timed in concord with Axis pressure in Europe,
