PRESIDENT SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE ON ARMS SHIPMENT Wants Action to Prevent Expor tation of Supplies For Mil- itary Purposes Washington, Jan. Speedy ratification of the projected ‘convention to suppress trade in im- Plements of war or special legislation the limit or forbid shipment of arms for military purposes, : The message, which has been await- ing presidential approval for several weeks, did not mention any specific conflict such as the unofficial Sino- Japanese war or the differences be- tween Paraguay and Bolivia in the the Chaco. The chief executive said, however, that either ratification of the interna- tional convention signed at Geneva i 1925, or special legislation to forbid arms shipments in cases where coop- eration could be secured with other major arms manufacturing nations would aid in the “prevention and lim- itation of war.” Recent events, the president said, have emphasized a need for more au- thority in the control of shipments of arms from the United States for mili- tary purposes. “There can be no doubt,” he said, “that the control of such shipments by on. inced | to areas of prospective and actual in- added that before a final vote the domestic allotment bill “may down with some other commo- dities” but that he would oppose such amendments, including the ternational conflict would greatly aid the earnest and unceasing efforts which all nations now make to pre- vent and lessen the dangers of such conflicts. “However for one nation alone to engage in such prohibitions while other nations continue to supply arms is @ futility. Morever, it would tend to give advantage to one nation over be Proposal another by increasing the war poten- tialities in manufacture and skill of non-cooperating nations.” The president indicated he believed it’ would be “impossible” for the sen- ete to ratify the international conven- tion trade in arms, signed at Gene’ and ittee | province, is generally regarded To Divert Gas Tax Pierre, 8.

Chinese had been using the pass in sending troops into Jehol to resist the anticipated invasion and the Japanese said their movement was an attempt to stop this influx. Peiping dispatches said a regiment of Japanese cavalry from Chinchow effected a junction with infantry brought up from Shanhaikwan and succeeded in taking the northern pass. A brigade of Chinese cavalry still held the southern end Tuesday evening. Manchurian headquarters there said there had been no attack at that point. Two other Chinese brigades, it was said, still held the passes at Shimen- ‘chai and Kupeikou, both stationed just outside the great Wall. Delayed dispatches from Chinese General Ho Chi-Kuo said fighting started at Chiumenkow early Tuesday morning and was still going on late in the afternoon. Cavalry Forces Clash At 6:00 a. m., the general reported. Japanese and Manchukuoan cavalry, infantry and artillery advanced on the pass from both sides and were met by Chinese cavalry. The mountainous terrain slowed up the Japanese advance, enabling the Chinese to bring reinforcements. Meantime four Japanese airplanes bombed the Chinese lines. Anticipating that the Japanese would move next against the south end of the pass, the Chinese prepared to meet an attack there. These oper- ations have not affected the position on the Ta Shih river front, where everything was quiet Tuesday. Occupation of Shanhaikwan just a week ago by Japanese shut off the eastern gate, only a short distance from where the wall comes down to the sea. Chiumenkow is 12 miles north of Shanhaikwan and near where the 2,000-year old barrier turns westward. A communique from the Chinchow, Manchuria, headquarters of the Nishi division said a Japanese column. mostly cavalry, left Shanhaikwan early in the morning and occupied Chiumenkow at 9:15 a. m. This con- firmed a Rengo (Japanese) News Agency dispatch which said cavalry and infantry had taken over the for- tification. Meet No Resistance The communique said the Rising Sun banner was hoisted over the wall- ed town after a brief skirmish. The Rengo dispatch said there was no re- sistance, although one of the Chinese regiments expelled from Shanhaikwan was reported entrenched there. Ten thousand Chinese troops were reported already in Jehol province. reaching there through Chiumen- kow. The war office announced that it still lacked confirmation of reports casesjed Japanese or Manchukuo troops as that Japanese planes had passed over the Jehol-Manchurian border and bombed these troops, but admitted the reports were probably true. The four Chinese brigades sent into Eastern Jehol by Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang were considered by the Japanese in territory belonging to the Japanese-sponsored state of Man- chukuo. The war office, therefore, consider- “defenders” of the territory and justi- fied in taking any action against the elements “menacing the peace” of| Manchukuo. (Jehol, ancient Chinese as part of inner Mongolia, although it drains toward Manchuria). Japanese also justified the seizure of Crgpeen (eal ft ae Piecaiion against encircling .o! japanese troops in Shanhaikwan. (Chinese leaders have pointed out occupation of the strategic centers on the Wall gave Japanese access to the easi- est: entry into Jehol). INSURGENCY MANCHUKUO EINSTEIN Pasedena, Calif, Jan. 10.—(?)—Far into the wee hours of Tuesday morn- ing, Albert Einstein talked things over with the men who caused him to change his mind about the universe. The German scientist, who arrived Monday for his third annual visit to the United States, not only has dis- carded a concept of a static universe but he expressed pleasure at the work- ing out of new details of relativistic mechanics. The two most intimate conferees of the relativity enunciator were Dr. jRichard Chance Tolman, mathemat- ical chemist and physicist who be- leves the universe to be a pulsating one, expanding and contracting in cycles, and Dr. Paul Sophius Epstein, theoretical physicist with whom Ein- stein always spends much time on visits here over interpretations of new laboratory experiments bearing on_relativistic mechanics, Einstein and his wife have taken up an adobe in the Athenaeum, a scientific clubhouse on the campus of the California Institute of Technology, where they will remain for two months.
