“breaks” the ex-convict.
„ However, when a newspaper ed

ancier, he accepts, as a means of
revenge upon his former employer.
The story comes to a crashing cli

becames the “man of the hour.”
The role of the ex-convict is play

LOBBYING WAR
DEPARTMENT IS
BE LOOKED TO
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 — A re
port, condemning “deplorable” lobby
ing in the War Department, renew
ed the demand for the removal of
Major General Benjamin D. Foul
ouis, as Chief of the Army Air
Corps.
The report was submitted to the
House by its Military Affairs Com
mittee Friday. The Committee did
n’t accuse Foulouis with any con
nection with the lobbying. They
said however, that the War Depart
ment Inspector General was study-1
ing other accusations against the
Air Corps Chief.
They added, “Such action is the
usual step preliminary to placing
such matters before a military trib
unal.”
The Committe held:, “It is un
deniably corrupt business agents
have sought to obtain special con
sideration and information from dis
honest and weak government of
ficials.” But, they added, such im
proper influence was actually ex
erted in but a relatively few cases.
The activities of one Army officer,
the report said, may have caused the
government an unwarranted loss of
approximately seven million dollars.
The Committee refused to disclose
names in connection with the lobby
ing charges, explaining that lobby
ing was under investigation by the
War Department. A grand jury will
be asked to consider some of the
lobbying charges.

JAPAN GIVES FORMAL
NOTICE ABROGATION
WASHINGTON TREATY
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 — Japan today scrapped the
Washington Naval Limitations Treaty, calling once more
for a new pact which would give her equality and wipe out
“offensive weapons of war.”
The historic moment the world has been waiting for,
came when Ambassador Mirosi Saito stepped into the State
Department and handed Secretary of State Cordell Hull the
formal notice that after December 31, 1936, Japan would:
not be bound by the treaty, which gives her the short end of
the 5-5-3 ratio.
Ambassador Saito expressed the hope that a new treaty
would be agreed upon within the next two years. Japan,
he said was willing to discard half of her navy if “a common ;
maximum limit” for the United States, Great Britain and
Japan was established.

LONDON, Dec. 29 — It is the opinion here that Japan’s
denunciation at Washington, D. C. will clarify the existing
situation and have a good effect in Japan. Such were thej
views expressed by the spokesmen for the American dele
gation to the recent naval conversations, and that this would
enable the Japanese to get the issue out of their system, i
TOKYO, Dec. 29 — The Foreign Office here, in a state
ment today in connection with the denunciation of the Wash-!
ington Naval Treaty said that the action was motivated by
the desire to promote peace and disarmament. “Japan does
not have the slightest wish to enlarge her armaments,” said
the statement.
LONDON, Dec. 29 — Great Britain and Japan have ab
andoned any plans to hold any extended naval discussion
after the American delegates sailed for home today.
There will be several informal chats between the Jap
anese and the British after the departure of the Americans
but no formal discussions.
Early reports had stated that Japan and Great Britain
would attempt to arrive at some sort of understanding be
tween themselves after the Americans left London for home.
