" ELORG DELAYNE CHINAPOLEY NOTE May Await Arrival of U. S. Envoy From Peking Before Issuing Views. By the Associated Press. Secretary Kellogg s undecided whether the forthcoming statement of American policy regarding China will be held up untll the arrival in Washington about the middle of February of Minister John MacMur- who has been called home from ing for conferences. The policy statement will be in the form of a memorandum in reply to the recent similar communication re- ceived from Great Britain. It was said yesterday that Mr. Kellogg was endeavoring to get a complete pic- wre of conditions in China before his statement is put in final shape. He may rely upon cable exchanges with Mr. MacMurray, or muy de- cide to defer forwarding his memo- randum to London until he has had en opportunity for personal confer- ences with the minis er. British Resist Attack. A State Department report yester- @ay from Consul General Frank Lock- hart at Hankow said that British wmarines had been forced to use bayo- bets in protecting the British con- ®ession there Monday from Chinese demonstrators. “Several Chinese were wounded and #everal British were injured by stones gnd sticks” the State Department waid. The consul general reported that the demonstration followed a three- day celebration by Chinese, during which, there had been much inflam- jnatory speechmaking. The Cantonese flag was raised by them over the Hankow coustomhouse, adjoining the British concession, and over the post office, he said, and the British au- thorities finally landed marines to restrain the rioters. President Coolidge would be re- quested, under a resolution introduced ?‘esmrday by Chairman Porter of the House foreign affairs committee, to enter into negotiations, independent of other nations, for the adjustment of extraterritoriality, tariff, autonomy end ‘“‘other matters in controversy” with China. Urges Lone-Hand Policy. “Time has proven,” Porter said in & statement, “that nothing can be w«ccomplished by acting in unison with other nations. Whereas Washington's caution against ‘entangling foreign alliances’ has observed in European matters, the United States is very much entangled with other countries in affairs in the Orient.” His resolution specifically would seek to place treaties relating to various Chinese questions upon an “‘equal and reciprocal basis.” Declar- Ing that “international good will and the preservation of international peace can be rendered secure only when nations deal justly with one enother and upon a basis of equality of respect and mutuality of interest,” Mr. Porter added: “It is felt by many that the situa- tion which now exists in and with regard to China is one which, if not MARKET SITE BILL IS GIVEN APPROVAL BY HOUSE COMMITTEE __(Continued from First Page) Army. In this connection Repre- sentative Rathbone stated that he has for some time felt that all of the va- rious police forces in the Capital should be under one executive author- ity and said he would support legis- lation to that end. After considerable discussion favorable report was ordered by the full committee, on motion of Repre- Representative Gilbert served notice that he might see fit not to support the bill when it comes up f in the House. The Senate District committee is to consider within a short time the bill | introduced in the Senate by Senator | Capper of Kansas authorizing the Commissioners to buy land for the proposed new Farmers’ Market. The measure is identical with that acted on today by the House committee. AMERICAN MARINES SENT TO MANAGUA TO GUARD LEGATION (Continued_from First Page) action | the administration was contemplating withdrawal of its naval forces from the Central American republic. A State Department announcement telling of the plea of the British-Ital- fan representatives said: “The Department of State has been informed by the American Minister at Managua that the British and Italian charge d'affaires have made repre- sentations to him that they consider their subjects in imminent peril in the present situation without outside protection and that he concurs in these views which represent the con- census there among the Americans and other foreigners."” No other comment was forthcoming from the department as to the situa- tion which led to the decision to land this new force in the Nicaraguan re- public, where previously naval con- tingents had established neutral zones in which the two contending groups were not permitted to carry on hos- tilities. Neither would the department com- ment as to what the movement sig- nified in relation to American policy in the factional warfare in progress. The State Department comment made no mention of specific peril to foreigners in Managua, or of the movement of Liberal troops toward al sentative Gasque of South Carolina. | | New Yo VETERANS LOANS HELDMORELIEL [Hines Satisfied With New York Trip—More Men Crowd Banks in Capital. While Director Hines of the Veter- Bureau, back from New York, to- expressed confidence that the nt difficult situation” over the bonus would clear up short into atisfactory status,” holder of certificates filed into Washington banks in increasing numbers to try ¢ luck in getting loans. A few uccesstul r Hines spent yesterday in in conference with officlals of the Federal Reserve Bank, Walter Frew, president of the New York clearing house, who is president of the Corn Exchange Bank, and a_num- ber of other prominent bank officials in an effort to encourage banks to advance loans, pledging the support and co-operation of the Government. Coincidental with Director Hines' return from New York legislation to. aid World War veterans in obtaining 1 on their adjusted compensation certificates direct from the Veterans' Bureau was introduced in the House by Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, Republican, of Massachusetts. Has Worked for Veterans. Before her election to (‘m\‘_’?.q Mrs. Rogers was a special representa- e of both President Harding and President Coolidge in studying the condition of World War veterans. She stated that hundreds of veterans have been anticipating the loan value of their certificates only to be turned down by the banks. In some of the larger banks of ‘Washington today the number of ap- plicants was larger than at any time since the loan value of the bonus cer- tificate became effective. Many of the applicants were colored and waited in line for consideration. Some Government officials were be- ing called upon by employes to iden- tify them for the purpose of getting a loan. A few of these who had been s0 identified, it was known, were favor- ed by banks with loans. Local bankers, however, continued in their attitude of reluctance gener- ally to grant loans wholesale, and were inquiring closely into all details of each’ case. It was apparent, how- ever, that there was some relenting {ans | day “pr soldi the capital. Coincident with the announcement of the landing of the additional ma- rines, the Pan-American Federation of Labor issued a statement declar- ing Secretary Kellogg had committed an error when he recognized the gov- ernment of President Diaz, which is opposed by the Liberals, headed by Juan B. Sacasa. Sacasa Hhas been recognized by Mexico. The American recognition, the state- ment said, “has caused unnecessary {ll feeling against the moral prestige of the democratic American institutions all over the world,” because it was “useless unjust and inimical to the people” of both countries. The movement follows an announce- ment yesterday at the White House that President Coolidge was solicitous not only to protect the lives and prop- erty of Americans engaged in com- promptly dealt with upon a basis of Justice and equality, will endanger the peace of the world."” The resolution was referred to the committee which Mr. Porter heads. WILD CHINESE MOB OVERRUNS BRITISH COLONY IN HANKOW (Continued from First Page.) Bund, the principal thoroughfare for foreigners along the waterfront there, is “unsafe for foreigners.” It adds that “the situation is very discourag- ing.” Armed Force Retires. The British armed forces, feeling that it would have been impossible to hold the masses without firing, retired, leaving the concession in charge of Cantonese troops. The British war memorial opposite the consulate was damaged and all barricades at en- trances to the concession were de- molished. As a result of a conference yester- day between British and Chinese au- thorities, by which maintenance of order was left to the Chinese, British marines were not landed, which, consequently, left the barri- cades unguarded. The Coolies, appar- ently acting under an organized plan, removed the barricades by tions and by 5:30 p.m. gradual in sion of the cvoncession started. The a ble British armed force was inadequate to deal with the situa- tion, and had it not retired in all probability 1t would have been over- whelmed, with a great resultant danger to the civil population. British authorities feel that if the marines land again there will be an immediate crisis necessitating the use of force. Extremists Are Blamed. In some circles there is a disposition to regard the demonstration as hav- ing been stage managed by the ex- tremist section of the Cantonese gov- | ernment. The incident followed a demonstration Monday in which a handful of armed British held at bay thousands of Coolies without firing a shot when the natives besieged the concession en However, despite the fact that flrearms were not used, it was charged Tuesday morning at a mass meeting of representatives of the gov- “ernmental departments and of the unions that a number of the Coolies had been killed and wounded. Speak- ers at the meeting urged the forma- tlon of a society to disarm the British &nd to take back the concessions. Flotilla Made Ready.

They added that Nicaragua had enjoy- ed its greatest period of prosperity and economic stability during the 13 yvears the American marines were stationed at Managua before their withdrawal in August, 1925. No word has reached officials here as to the possibility of a victorious march on Managua by the Liberals under the leadership of_ Juan S. Sacasa, recognized as Nicaragua's President by Mexico, but additional news advices from the Nicaraguan capital say the Conservatives, short of arms, have requested the Ameri- can legation to seek the raising of the American embargo on the im- portation of munitions. g It is also reported that all laborers are being recruited, endangering the coffee crop, which is now ready for harvest. American, English, Italian, German and French coffee growers are protesting against induction of their workers into the service, de- claring if the crop is not lifted they will suffer great financial loss.

Local bankers still feel that the com- plications which the Government has thrown around the matter of making a loan makes its desirability as a bank- able proposition somewhat doubtful. Gen. Hines said today he noticed al- ready a marked change in the general attitude of banks. As a result of his New York conferences, he said, he suc- ceeded in clearing up much of the lack of exact information and understand- ing of the methods necessary in handling the certificates, which, he said, had been responsible for a great deal of the reluctance on the part of bankers to advanca lcans. At the same time the director put in a word for the banks themselves, saying that there was such a rush of veterans to make loans that the nor- mal business of the banks was greatly retarded. As one of the directors of the Con- tinental Trust Co. of Washington, Gen. Hines is trying to use his influ- ence with the company to make loans to veterans, the policy of the institu- tion having been to turn down a ma- Jority of veteran applicants in com- mon with other local banks. + Veterans Are Learning. World War veterans are learning more each day about their prospects for obtaining loans on their bonus certificates. General refusal of banks to recog- nize this Government-backed, 20-year paper as collateral security for small loans has precipitated a discussion among the three agencies most inter- ested, the American Bankers' Asso- ciation, the American Legion and the Veterans’ Bureau, which presages at least an early clarification of the question. Congress, likewise, is begin- ning to take a hand. Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Representative from Massachusetts, yesterday introduced a bill in the House to authorize the Vet- erans’ Bureau, which now must make good to the banks any unpaid certifi- cate loans, to loan money direct to the policy holders. Representative Rankin of Missis- sippi has declared his intention of asking the ways and means commit- tee to make an investigation. In the Senate, certain members of the finance committee are favorable toward an in- vestigation. An appeal .by the American Leglon to bankers brought a reply last night from Melvin A. Traylor of Chicago, president of the American Bankers’ Association, declaring fear of red tape and doubt as to proper identification and signatures had caused bankers to hesitate to loan money freely on the certificates. Asks for Assurance. “If proper authorities can give re- assuring publicity on this point,” he asserted, “I am sure the attitude of the banks in general will be entirely favorakle,” Harold W. Breining, assistant dai. rector of the Veterans' Bureau in charge of financing of the bonus act, had this to say about the matter of identification. ~ “The Veterans' Bu- reau has left the requirements of ldentifications entirely to the banks.” ‘While governmental agencies and the Legion officers are doing their utmost to relieve the situation, indi- vidual posts are beginning to take a hand in the affair. Vincent B. Cos- tello Post of the American Legion, the first local post to jump into the fight, last night adopted a resolution urging banks to seek such remedial legisla- tion as would enable them to meet >dntingencies and forwarding the mat- (“Moon”) Baker, foot ball Northwestern University, v probably saved the Levere, 8, who had fallen from a pie into Lake Michi when Bu a fraternity house her cries and Bruce. carried her to the shore.

PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM IN OPPOSITION TO MORE CRUISERS (Continued from First Page.) was “wrong” In opposing the crutser appropriation on the ground that re- lief from naval armaments might be expected soon through international conference. “I am willing to co-operate-with the President, whether he's Republican or Democrat,” he declared, “but when he is wrong I refuse to follow him, and he's wrong in this instance.” Representative Blanton, Democrat, Texas uggested that the advice of a Chief Executive should be followed. Uses Chart in Speech. Using the same chart of naval strength relied on yesterday by Repre- ntative French, Mr. Britten declared the figures failed to reveal that many of the American ships listed were obolete. He repeated to the House Admiral Bloch’s statement that ‘“‘one modern cruiser could lick the whole bunch’ of old American cruisers. Japan and Great Britain, he con- tended, have greater gun power per ship than the United States, and both have arranged to build more ships than this country since the Washing- ton arms limitation conference. Disclaiming any intention of play- ing the rule of “jingo,” Mr. Britten told the House that the “friends of today are the enemies of orrow, and it is up to us to protect our shores.” Representative Oliver, Democrat, Alabama, counseled delay in expan. sion of the American Navy until after another conference is held. He said he took that view dispite a belief that other natifons had violated the spirit of the Washington arms treaty. BOULD'S COUNSEL WARNS SENATORS Says Country Is Becoming “Suspicious” of Investiga- tions and Good Faith. By the Associated Press. A warning that the country is be- coming ‘“suspicious” of Senate in- vestigations was contained in a brief filed with the Senate elections com- mittee today by counsel for Senator Gould, Republican, Maine, under in- vestigation on charges of bribing a Canadian official to obtain a railroad franchise. “The eyes of the people from every State in this great Union have been focused upon the United States Senate,” said the brief. ‘“They have been watching investigation after in- vestigation and have been taking into account the large amount of time ex- pended in these invstigations and the vast sums of the people’s money ex- pended in connection therewith, and they have been putting into the other side of the scales the net results of all these investigations, and they have necessarily been convinced that the net results of that which it pro- posed to accomplish have been prac- tically nil. “They have become suspiclous of the good faith which actuated many of these proceedings and have reached a frame of mind which is inimical to the best interests of the country. “Their eyes are now specially focused upon the Senate and they are watching and waiting to learn whether or not 1t will decide that the sovereign State shall be deprived of its great right to determine the per- sonal fitness of those whom it would have represent it in the United States Senate, or whether or not the Senate shall declare itself an exclusive club with full authority to exclude or expel for any reason or motidnh it shall entertain.” Frederick W. Hinckley, counsel for Gould, told the commiitee that if the Maine case was settled “the wrong way, some day some sovereign State 1s going to ask the Supreme Court if the Senate has authority to expell a member whom the State has elected and that will settle the case.” He explained, however, that his tatement was only a prophecy and ad no reference to the Gould case. .
