CYNICAL TOWARD ENGLAND'S CONVERSION TO IDEA OF "STRONG ARM" FOUCT IN FAR EAST. By GEORGE ft. HOLMES. IMS) CorreeponUrnt. Washington.

Dec. 15 (INS). Although the situation admittedly is extremely grave, Washington was inclined to view somewhat cynically today Great Britain's sudden conversion to the idea of adopting a strong "joint" Anglo-American policy in the Far East to stop Japanese aggression. As it is viewed here, th proper time for such a policy was several years ago. in 1931 and 1932.

when Japan began the disintegration of China and swallowing her. province by province. Now that the process has been about completed. Washington believes it is a bit late to start talking of Joint strong-arm methods to stop the business. State department officials remember, with some bitterness, when Japan began her conquest of Manchuria.

The then secretary of state, Henry L. Stimson, lodged an energetic protest. It was, he said, a violation of the nine-power treaty, and (Continued on Page 21) ENGINEER HIRED for ujm Robert A. Evans. New York mining engineer, formerly employed by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company in the Hazleton area, has been retained to take charge of the resurvey or coai lands to be undertaken by the coun-rv in an effort to offset some of the losses in revenue resulting from the supreme court decision reducing the coal land valuation from $300 to $240 a foot-acre.

Tha county salary board, meeting todayfixed the compensation of Mr. Evans at $500 a month. The appointment of Mr. Evans has been under consideration for several weeks, was announced after the county commissioners and the county assessors had completed a conference yesterday afternoon. The engineer was notified of his selection by telephone and he is to report here tomorrow morning to launch the preliminaries connected with the survey.

Attnrnev Stanley T. Coar. who takes office as county solicitor on Jan. 3. attended the conference, as did Attorney John M.

Kelly, solicitor of the board of county assessors. No decision was reached in regard to the hiring of assistants for Mr. Evans. The survey is to be carried out with a $50,000 appropriation made in the 1937 budget This amount, it is believed, will be sufficient to carry out but a small part of the work. If the expenditure of the $50,000 results in the uncovering of sizeable coai tracts wmcn ve Heretofore escaped taxation it is expected that the commissioners will arrange to continue the survey.
