Before ordering this long trip through Japanese-controlled waters, U. S. Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, Comrnander-in-Chief of the U. S. Asiatic Fleet, asked Japanese sanction. Last week Vice Admiral Koshiro Oikawa, Commander-in-Chief of Japan's China Fleet, firmly refused. His reasons: 1) possible interference with Japanese naval strategy; 2) the Monocacy might strike a Chinese mine; 3) the gunboat might be mistakenly fired upon by Japanese shore batteries, producing another Panay type incident; 4) the Japanese consider the recently captured Matung boom below Kuikiang "a prize of war" which no U.

Weakening of the League system, however, convinced Switzerland that her position would be more secure if she returned to unconditional neutrality. Accordingly, two months ago the Government at Berne dispatched a note to League headquarters at Geneva renouncing Switzerland's remaining sanction obligations. Shortly thereafter, Swiss Foreign Minister Dr. Giuseppe Motta took pains to inform...
...last week's row was clever, self-assertive Fred C. Pieper, board member from Atlanta and chairman of U.A.W.'s newly created finance committee. According to President Martin's enemies, Mr. Pieper had pre-empted most of the executive authority at Detroit headquarters with no sanction except Mr. Martin's personal blessing.

"Communists" like Mr. Mortimer to get Mr. Martin...
