MrLOl'GHLIN A two-fisted police captain of the old City of Brooklyn was William J. McKelvey, who was a terror to evil-doers and could still meet the "silk stocking" element on even terms. McKelvey's duties brought him In contact with every stratum of society from the" top-hatted millionaire to the skulking gangster, whose pet ambition was to "do up a cop." The old Fourth Precinct was Mc Kelvey's bailiwick for many years. It Included the homes of some of Brooklyn's wealthiest citizens, and the "hangouts" of some of the toughest Individuals that ever felt the crack Unhtstick, -o Helmets Life Savers While the gangsters of old Brooklyn did not commit as many mur- ders as those of the 1932 variety, nevertheless they were a source of constant trouble to the police. The patrolmen in those days wore stiff helmets of the sort still affected by the London "bobbles," and the helmets saved the life of many a cop.

One of the pastimes of the gang- POLISH CORRIDOR SYMBOL OF DEFEAT POLES HAVE STRONG CASE WILL WAR COME? I By B. Z. GOLDBERG 1 lOO many precious tears are shed by otherwise hardened individuals over the Polish Corridor. They beery the late ol an outraged German nation whose land has been cut in two, with a considerable portion bitten out just to satisfy Poland's ambition for an outlet to the sea. You can't expect Germany, the largest country on the continent outside of Russia, they say.

to acquiesce in such a territo rial division. These people have succumbed to Germany's revisionist propaganda. rcj.man thomKptves do not argue Poland's historical, ethnographic, or even her economic rlgnis to me Than hata triPlf St.S ttd OH tl 1 IUUI i -j i Tmlitiral asDPCt. The individual i German hates the Corridor because it stands out as a grim reminder of bis country divided against its will svmbol of defeat, of shattered imperialist dreams. A strong, united Germany was a matter of national pride.

A weak, divided Germany is the cause of national humiliation I myself was inclined to subscribe to' the German view before I visited the Polish Coiridor and studied the problem on the spot. There, however, I found that the actual facts are much at variance with the general belief. From every angle the Poles certainly have the stronger case. BOUNDARIF.S OF POLISH CORRIDOR THE CORRIDOR, alfO called Pomerania, is a strip of land running 45 miles inland, with a width of 26 miles at the coast, 60 miles in the center and 10 miles In the south. It was Joined to Poland by Mieszko in 868 From that, time until the first partition in 1772 it remained an integral part of Poland, with the exception of short period from 1308 to 1466, when It was forcibly held by the Teutonic knights.

German domination lasted from 1772 to 1920. Racially, the Corridor is and always has been overwhelmingly Polish. In 1910. says Hermann Rau-schning, noted German authority, the population of the Corridor was about 42.5 percent German and 57.5 percent Polish. The Polish census of 1921 gives the Poles a percentage of 81.3.

against a German percen-t3f of 18.7. in a total population of 935,679. The provisional figures for the 1931 census show that the Poles constitute over 90 percent the population. German Exodus After War Of course, there was a large German emigration from the Corridor at the end of the war, and the Germans attribute it to harsh treatment and discrimination on the part of the Poles. But tile truth of the matter is quite different.

The Germans living in Pomerania were largely government representatives, officials, police, railway men. Naturally, when the new Polish government was established, there was no work for them to do. So they returned to Germany. Culturally, the Corridor maintained its Polish character despit the century and a half of severe Germanization. And in every election to the German Reichstag between 1871 and 1918, this province returned Polish, not German, deputies.

Economically, the Corridor is indispensable to Poland. It is her oniy guarantee of free access to the sea. At. the same time, it does no; conflict with Germany's access to East Prussia by land or sea. Even Dr.

Holz. a hlKh official of the German State Railways, agrees in till. "Transit." he says, "goes on with out hindrance, in fact as 11 in-management of the Reich Wis still active on Polish territory." There are six direct railway lines for Germany's transit traffic with 24 trains running daily in both directions. The pa.ssengers on these trains are free from all passport and customs formalities, jit as German freight traffic through the Corridor Is free from Polish customs duties. River and postal traffic are also uninterrupted.

And certain telpnhnn and telesranh lines have been turned over exchttively for German communications NO FUSS OVER OTHER CORRIDORS THERE are a number of similar so-called "corridor" anange-ments in other parts of Em ope, and no fuss Is ever made about them. In fact, mast people do not know that they exist. There Is a German corridor, for instance, in Switzerland. Unless you are a Swiss or a German, you must show jour passport at Baden, when traveling between Basel and Schaffliausen. There is a Greek "corridor" 1 1 Tur-fcev and a French "corridor' in Italy.

The rancor in the Polish-German fnid derives from loss of rational prestige. The Germans are blind to every aspect of the problem save the political, and this they have magnified a thousand time. Paul Scheffer, the eminent German has" warned his courtiymea that they must forget this political aspect or suffer for it. But the Germans are only too ready to suffer. In fact, they would Slcis the hour in which such an opportunity presented itself.

Situation Demands Diplomacy Politically, Poland stakes hei very existence on the Corridor. Tho ne state stands or falls by it. Will war come to the Corridor? It certainly requires more farsightedness and control than the Germans are now displaying to pre vent it. It demands all the pniienc and diplomacy the Poles are capable I of mustering to refrain frotr. sue-i cumbing to the Nazis' provoT'ions But if it should came, both sides would probablv exclaim with a sigh of relief: At lastl 1 i the United States, and the world-aide censure of Japan's In Manchuria were subjects for discussion today in the House of Rep resentatives.

Nevertheless, are determined to follow the course already fixed in the face of all opposition. "The Government doing its utmost through our diplomats abroad to improve world feeling toward Japan, but thus far we can admit no optimism." The Minister of the Navy told another questioner that the Navy is considering the advisability of re-establishing the Naval Base at Port Arthur to protect Japanese and Korean fisheries along the Manchukuo coasts and aLo to prevent piracy. A secondary naval base maintained there was abandoned In 1924. The Jehol Question Baron Uchida assured another questioner that the Government had no intention of restoring the Kwan-tung leased territory, which includes Dalren and Port Arthur, to Manchukuo following recognition of the Changhun regime. A member asked whether the Japanese army would not use the "right of self-defense" to solve the problem of Jehol, the disputed Chinese province.

He was informed that in view of the international relations Involved the Japanese army has no intention of taking any drastic action in Jehol in the near future but Manchukuo might use its own forces to protect its own interests in Jehol. Lay Oil Hunt to Japan Washington. Aug. 30 Chinese Cfficials at Nanking contend that petroleum has tempted armies into Manchuria and is attracting them into Jehol Province They say that explorations nf oil deposits made by Russian engineers in the employ ot the Chinese Government have shown that Heilung-kiang Province, the northwestern portion of Manchuria, has a rich cil belt which extends southward across Jehol Province and south- westward into Shansi Prov Nanking officials charge it was oil which Induced Japanese aimies to move northward to Tsitsihar In mid-Winter and attack Ma Chan-Shan's forces, and add their own prediction that Chit; undoubtedly will be one of the world's greatest oil-producing counters ir the near future.

Harrison, Governor of Jhe New York Federal Reserve Bank, of reports that Man-tagu Norman is in America to negotiate an International loan is accepted in official and business circles here as authoritative. No responsible source in London has said that the objective of Nor man's visit to New York is the flotation of a $3,500,000,000 loan for liquidation of war debts and reparations. Several responsible Individual pointed out that reparations already have been liquidated. Opinion in London Is that the American visit of the Governor of the Bank of England has received an amount of publicity out of all proportion to its significance.

It was to be flown today in a test hop, while another Doolittle ship, the rebuilt craft of 1931's transnation dash, was being worked on night and day in Wichita, for possible entry in the lists. I do not know whether It will be ready in time," Major Doolittle said, "and I do not know as yet what plane I will fly in the Thompson Trophy race Labor Day. Neither ship has been clocked and it is not fair even to estimate their probable speeds.

The plane in Wichita, which was damaged a few days ago when the retractable landing gear failed to drop, will not be ready before Thursday."
