China Urges Economic Pressure Against Japan | a a a ‘SANCTIONS’ DEMAND! IS STRONGLY OPPOSED BY ITALY'S DBLBCATE Koo Asks World to Withhold War Materials from Japan, Give Them to China REQUEST ‘OUTSIDE SCOPE’ Not Conference Purpose, Says Italian; Prepare Condem- nation of Japan (By the Associated Press) China’s demand for what would mount to sanctions against Japan was dramatically opposed by Italy Saturday in the Brussels conference seeking to end the Chinese-Japanese war. The Chinese delegate, Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, urged a conference decision to withhold war materials and credits from Japan and supply them to China. * This evoked immediate objection from Count Luigi Aldovrandi-Mare- scotti, delegate of Italy, against which the League of Nations decreed sanc- tions because of her invasion of Ethiopia and which has been Japan's friend at Brussels, “That is entirély ruled out,” said the Italian. “We are not here for that. It is entirely outside the scope oi the conference.” Nevertheless the United British and French delegations pre- sented the conference with the draft ot a joint declaration stressing the iliegality of Japan's military action in China and asserting it amounted to defiance of the whole world. ; Previously the conference had heard Norman H. Davis, head of the Ameri- can delegation, declare there were “compelling reasons” why Japan should co-pperate in the search for peace. But Japan Friday, the conference’s is fighting in self-defense. rea In China the Japanese armies still pushed ahead, the Chinese being un- able to stop their advance either on the new front some 20 miles inland from captured Shanghai or in North SATHRE ASKS Hg Minnesota Northwestern North Dakota U.

Y.) of the house rules committee suggested congress try to stimulate business by immediate tax revision. Speaker Bankhead, however, said tax revision was “too big a problem” for hasty action. He and other lead- ers went ahead with plans to stick to the legislation the president has asked: Crop control, wage-hour, gov- ernment reorganization and regional planning. CONGRESS IS MAN’S FOURTH GREAT MYSTERY Washington, Nov. 13—()—Sen. arise it and the senate might prevent early enactment, The house agriculture commitice agreed informally Friday to discard Ject. Tt tacitly approved quotas for tobacco but deferred a decision on corn, Secretary Wallace sent three high AAA officials to the committee Sat- urday to insist on compulsory con- trol fer corn. Claude R. Wickard, director of the north central region of the AAA, said such control was “much more neces- sary for corn” than any of the other basic commodities, In the face of presidential demands that congress provide additional tax revenue to finance the new program, the house committee shunted to the house ways and means committee the responsibility for finding about $200,; 000,000 which most experts say will be required. Seek to Combine Bills Some farm members in the house contended the president’s wishes be carried out most expedi- tiously by combining authorization for increased benefits with a tax bill. Chairman Jones (D.-Tex.) said, how- ever, the agriculture committee de- cided it would be “better from & practical and legal viewpoint” to fol- low the usual procedure of separat- ing the legislation. The agriculture committee's action disclosed an apparent preference for continuing farm benefits on a basis of voluntary co-operation through the existing soil conservation act. Rep. Jones said his committee had decided tentatively on these sddi- tional features of bill: Continustion of commodity loans through the Commodity Credit cor- poration. To Dispose of Surpluses Gradual change from past perform- ances as a basis for benefit payments to percentages of tilled acreage planted in soil-conserving crops. General provisions, to be adminis- in tered by Secretary Wallace, for dis- posing of surplus crops. Authorization for research to de- termine new uses for major crops.
