The Times (Independent) said that Washington\u2019s denunciation was a warning to Tokyo that Japanese purchases of vital supplies in the United States may he cut off.The United States has \u201cgiven new expression to the growing concern caused by recurring acts of violence suffered by American citizens in China at the hands of the Japanese and indeed by the whole trend of events in the Far East,\u201d The Times said.\u201cThe denunciation has given a timely encouragement to China which, however, is somewhat modified by the British agreement with Japan,\u201d the News Chronicle (Liberal) said.\u201cWhether Roosevelt intended it or not, he has given the British Government an object lesson in Far-Eastern policy.\u201d The Manchester Guardian (Libellai ) said : \u201cThe decision of the United States to denounce the treaty comes as a complete surprise\u2014even now the British Government have not Continued on Page 2.Col.2.#- HENDRYK COLIJN RESIGNS AS DUTCH PRIME MINISTER The Hague.The Netherlands, July 28.\u2014(ffl-Havas)\u2014Premier Hendryk Colijn, who formed his fifth cabinet on Tuesday and was defeated fifty-five to twenty-two on an no-confidence vote in the Lower House yesterday, presented his resignation to Queen Wilhelmina today.The Sovereign requested him to carry on pending the selection of a new Government.Halifax, July 28\u2014 (® \u2014Honey processed by bees from the blossoms of berry trees along Virginia\u2019s Swanee River has been given to the Children\u2019s Hospital here.Originally intended as a gift to King George and Queen Elizabeth from Mrs.Philip McCall, of Philadelphia, it arrived too late.Personal Attack on Vice-President Garner Raises Extensive Indignation Among Representatives.Washington, July 28.\u2014iJP)\u2014John L.Lewis\u2019 denunciation of Vice-President John Garner stirred up such a Congressional tempest today that some legislators said it had improved chances for revision of the wage-hour law at this session.Lewis, head of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, was demanding that Congress make no change in the law' w'hen he told House of Representatives Labor Committee yesterday that the Vice-President is a \u201clabor-baiting, pokerplaying, whisky-drinking evil old man.\u201d Ignoring the C.I.O.leader\u2019s opposition to any wage-hour alterations\u2014a stand in which the American Federation of Labor joined\u2014the Labor Committee agreed after a tempestuous closed meeting to try to bring so-called \u2018\u2018non-controver-sial\u201d amendments to the House floor next Monday.Lewis buntly accused Garner of responsibility for what he called the \u201ccampaign against labor\u2019) in the House, and said: \u201cI am against him in 1939 and I will be against him in 1940.\u201d New York, July 28.\u2014(JP)\u2014Mars earth shocks caused a panic at Men-turned a cold shoulder to earth\u2019s doza, Argentina, Many people be-swing music last night and just as lieved the shocks were caused by frigidly ignored a radio message Mars\u2019 proximity, that sped out into space at a 186,- With the planet within 36,000,000 000-mile-a-seeond clip in an effort to miles of the earth, science for the bridge a little matter of 36,000,000 first time was ready with instru-miles.\tments which might determine if the Engineers and scientists tried a green in one of the great dark spots code message to Mars first \u2014 a on the planet came from chlorophyll Morse signal, dash-dot, dash-dot, and therefore was vegetation, dash-dot\u2014meaning NNN\u2014and when That the planet had wdiat appear-no \u201canswer\u2019\u2019 came, they tried to ed to he snows piled up for two warm things up with a broadcast to days over millions of square miles the big, red planet of swing music, was reported by Earl C.Slipher of That didn\u2019t penerate, either.\tLow^ell Observatory, who was at So the engineers turned off their Bloemfontein, South Africa, to ob-100,000-watt beam shooting and serve the rare phenomenon of Mars\u2019 called it a night.They had hoped close passage.the signal might bounce back in six Vantage points for the observa-minutes and twenty-eight seconds tion were taken in the Southern and he picked up by a receiver at Hemisphere by many astronomers, Hicksville, N.Y.\tsince the star, while appearing from With the planet closest to earth the United States to be just above in fifteen years, the New York the southern horizon, was in World's Fair management announc-1 zenith in the Far South, ed it would stage a \u201cdefence.\u201d | Dr.Vesto M.Slipher, director of against a mythical attack of Mar-1 the Lowell Observatory at Flag-tians.The fountain lake area was | staff, Ariz., said: \u201cWe are more oc-to have been \u201cblacked out\u201d while ! cupied in getting observations than anti-aircraft guns blazed away at ! interpreting them.It will take time EARLY FALL OF !
