APAN has been formally notified
that In the opinion of the Ameri-
can government she is violating the
nine-power treaty by her actions In
Manchuria. The Unit-
ed States does not
recognize as legal Ja-
pan’s occupation of

warned that Washing-
ton will not recognize
any agreement entered
into by them which
violates the open-door

Immediately thereafter called in the
diplomatic representatives of the sig-
nine-power pact and
told them what he had done. It was
expected that Great Britain and some
of the other powers would follow the
American example, Mr, Stimson de-
clined to say what could or would be
done if Japan persists in violations of
the treaty. The nine-power pact calls
for no other action than “full and
frank communication between thé
contracting powers concerned” in case
of an emergency. ‘he Kellogg treaty
calls for no military or diplomatic
steps,

This Is a tariff bill
not designed to alter
existing rates but to
deprive the Chief Ex-
ecutive of his control
over the flexible pro-
visions of the present
act, It also calls on
the President to sum-
mon an international

duction of tariff rates.

J. W. Coliler
R. HOOVER'S plea for quick ae-
tion on relief bills was made in
a special message. The measures for
which he spoke especially included
the bill already passed by the house
to increase the capitalization of the
federal land bank system by a sum
between $100,000,000 and $125,000,000 ;
the bill to create a federally financed
$500,000,000 “reconstruction finance
corporation”; the bill to create a
home loan discount system capitals
ized by the government at a minimum
of $150,000,000; and a bill to liberal.
Ize the rediscount provisions of the
federal reserve system.
The President also urged a plan to
relense the assets of closed banks, a
revisions of the transportation act
with a view to strengthening the val-
ue of rallroad bonds, and a revision
of the banking laws, the better to
protect depositors.
Senate and house leaders of both
parties promised to ald the President's
proposals. The senate started relief
affairs In its own way by passing
Senator Capper's resolution authoriz-
ing the distribution to the needy of
40,000,000 bushels of stabilization
wheat held by the farm board, through
the administration of the American
Red Cross and other organizations,
The farm board 1s to be credited with
the market price of the wheat at the
time of the transaction,
John Barton Payne, chalrman of the
Red Cross, said that that organization
would gladly undertake the distribu.
tion, and later before the house com-
mittee on agriculture he not only
spoke In favor of this bill, but en-
couraged the introduction of a bill to
treat farm board cotton In the same
fashion, so that cotton goods may be
donated to those lacking clothing. Mr.
Payne was explicit on one point. He
wanted the exact duties of the Red
Cross as distributing agent definitely
set out In the bill. Out of his experi-
ence, he said, the Red Cross would
be criticized In whatever It did and
he wished no loopholes left in the bill.

§ EV4ATOR BORAH sometimes dls

would reduce the salaries of the fed

er place a $15,000 maximum on any
annual salary connected with the
board, a provision almed at the
counsel who now recelves $20,000,
The second bill strikes at the dedrly
beloved twenty cent mileage preroga-
tive of congressional and certain oth-
er governmental officials,
The third bill cuts the salary of the
Vice President from $15,000 a year to
$10,000; and does the same thing for
the members of the President's cab-
Inet. It also reduces the £10,000 per
annum now paid to senators and rep
resentatives to $8,000,
It was stated at the White House

were required and the cost was 88
