By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 7.—Foreign affairs, particularly the problem of China, will receive the immediate ittention of Parliament after the re- assembling ceremonies of tomorrow with the usual speech from the throne. Great Britaln's declaration of a new policy toward the chaotic Oriental Republic was made after Parliament had adjourned for the Christmas recess, and there has been no oppor- tunity for discussion of it or for ques- tioning Premier Baldwin and his min- isters on a situation which is little understood by the general public. Government Faces Criticism. There is no doubt the government will come in for some criticlsm in its handling of the Chinese problem. Con- <ervative die-hards maintain the coun- try has gone too far in extending the hand of friendship to a country which oes mot appreciate or understand uch gestures; from Labor benches the criticism will be that the new British policy in the Far East does not go far enough in the way of con- a few days the House of Commons will settle down to weeks i1ssion of finance and state expenditures, leading to the announce- ment of the budget early in May by the chancellor of the exchequer, and with the exception of two brief re- cesses at Easter and Witsuntide, the members of Parllament will be busy until August. An important subject for legislation and one directly affecting the moving picture industry of the United States is a bill which is to be introduced to assist the British film industry. More than 99 per cent of the motion picture films shown in this country are made in the United States and a remedy for this loss to local film industries has been sought for years. Action Seems Likely. The recent Imperial conference made recommendations which prob- ably will take form in some sort of ¢ British film quota measure requiring a certain percentage of English-made movies to be shown on English screens. The most Important legislation from a purely domestic viewpoint is ex- pected to be a bill growing out of the disastrous general strike of last May. This measure would limit the powers of trade unions so far as concerns the use of their funds for political purposes. This question has already stirred bitter feelings in Conservative and Labor ranks. RIGHT AND LEFT PASSING BY AUTOS URGED BY ELDRIDGE (Continued _from First Page.) of those who propose a revision of the present regulation. That many valuable lanes of traffic are lost to use because of the mid- street driving is agreed by Mr. Eld- ridge. That the practicé results daily in dangerous and needless congestion because motorists willing to drive up to the speed limit are given no chance to pass on the left also is recognized by the traffic director. The rapidly growing number of those who favor a rule permitting either right or left side passing de- oclare the system has proved. its safety and other emphatic merits, in the most severe tests to which it has been submitted in virtually every large city in the country. It has been found in Chicago, New York and elsewhere, that when passing on either side is made legal, traffic finds its proper lane, stays there and drives at a speed that greatly helps to relieve the business area of congestion. No Tmeptation to Wobble.” There is no temptation for the motor- ist to “wobble” from one lane to an- other, for he has found out that the practice is dangerous and without a legal defense, That Washington will learn this lesson quickly to the great advantage of its traffic, is the firm con- tention of those who advocate the change in the present regulations. “Since passing on the right is prac- ticed on one-way streets at present, the traffic bureau doubtless has been able to determine whether it is safe. Have you had many accidents from this cause?” Mr. Eldridge was asked. “No, we have not” he replied. h accidents as have resulted from right-hand passing have been found 10 occur at intersections where, of course, it is illegal to pass either on e right or left. “If, however, we do decide to recem- mend righthand passing, we shall make no change in the regulations which specify that there be no pass- g on either side at a street inter- section.” In this, the experience of the Traffic Bureau coincides with the emphatical- ly made point of proponents of a change in the regulations that when it is the fixed habit of motorists to drive in the center of the thorough- fare, there are times when it s rela- tively safer to pass on the right than the left, although such driving is counter o the present traffic code. Worthy of Consideration. “Any proposal that will assure full utilization of our wide streets, par- ticularly our arterial highways, is worthy of consideration,” Mr. Eld- ridge says. “Traffic authorities from other cities are immedlately impress- ed with our highway system. They declare that the broad, radial streets should facilitate tremendously the so- lution of all our tratfic problems. They are right, but we can not have full use of the street surface, while we have such an amount of left-lane driving. “The far-sigh ess of local offl- als is nowhere better demonstrated pan in the street-widening mov ent. Our downtown thoroughfares ire being extended w r possi ble and apidly as possible. WLl he full value of movement be o8t be Washington motorists use only that portion of the street in the exact center? “It will not if any way can be found to provent it. If passing on he right is the only solution of the problem, it will be solved that way. The plan now is being studied and ts every advantage will be given constderation. hat relief from left-lane driving would be the equivalent of the addi- ion of many streets to the National apital's system is undoubtedly true.

Kellogg Urges That City Be Excluded From War Zone. By the Associated Press. Not only the interests of 30,000 for- eigners, including 4,000 Americans, but those of the Chinese people in general require that “‘order shall pre- vail” in Shanghal, Secretary Kellogg has informed the military leaders in China’s warfare in proposing that the International settlement of the great port be excluded from the fighting zone. He emphasized this point in the sec- ond open invitation to be transmitted by the United States to the war lords of the north and south in China since the internecine strife in that country recently became the subject of inter- national concern. The proposal, the text of which was made public last night here, asserted the fate of American interests in Shanghal *is the occasion of great anxlety to the American Govern- ment,” and suggested that the inter- national settlement be neutralized in the present struggle so that “Ameri- can citizens and other-foreigners may receive adequate protection.” It was added that the American vernment ‘“will be ready for its part to become a party to friendly and orderly negotiations properly in- tituted and conducted regarding the future status of the settlement.” Leaders Get Plan. The plan already has been pre- sented to Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord and influential northern dictator, and Gen. Chiang Kali-Shek, military dictator of the Can- tonese or southern forces, while the consul general at Shanghal has been instructed to take the guestion up direct with Gen. Sun Chuan-Fang, governor of the Shanghal provinces and ally of Chang. Although made independently of any other forelgn powers, the Amer- jcan proposal is known to have been communicated in advance as a mat- ter of information to the Ambassadors here of the other powers chiefly con- cerned. Emphasizing the need of the fullest protection against possible anti-for- eign disorders, the Secretary of State pointed out that Shanghal had ac- quired a foremost position among the great ports of the world; that the ar- rangement for the international set- tlement was of long standing and rec- ognized by the national government, that huge sums had been invested in municipal and harbor improvements and international trade requirements and that the settlement is the ‘“vital center of commerce that ramifies through China and extends through- out the world.” Chen’s Reply Awaited. The United States already had pro- posed to the same Chinese factions that conference delegates be agreed upon for new equalization treaty dis- cussions and 18 awaiting a reply which Forelgn Minister Chen at Han- kow sald he soon would make to that offer. If the promised “comment” is delayed long enough by Chen, observ- ers here believe the Shanghal ex- clusion proposal may possibly be dealt with at the same time. No answer has been received from the Peking government. That a “show of force is unneces- sary and likely to cause trouble and danger to all interests” in dealing with the Chinese situation is the be- lMef of 147 American missionaries gathered at Nanking. They have taken this view in a cablegram to the Federal Councll of Churches, copies of which have been sent to Chairman Borah of the Senate foreign relations committes and Chairman Porter of the House foreign affairs committee. The missionaries indorsed the Por- ter resolution approved by the House committee calling upon the Secretary of State to propose the negotiation of new treatles with China through Chinese Minister Sze in Washington. Secretary Kellogg’s proposal, as handed to the three war lords, and which leaves to future negotiations all detailed questions of arranging for security of the International settle- ment in the event it is accepted, is as follow: “The fate of the American interests fn the International settlement during the course of the internecine warfare now unhappily in progress in China is the occasion of great anxiety to the American Government. Afi_lhe result of the efforts of two generations of forelgners and Chinese, this area has acquired a foremost position among the great ports of the world. 4,000 Americans There. «“There are now living in the settle- ment nearly 4,000 Americans and 30,000 foreigners altogether, who have made this settlement their home. The arrangements for this settlement is of long standing and made with the local authorities of China and recognized by the national govern- M age sums have been invested by Chinese citizens and the citizens of foreign natlons in municipal and har- bor improvements, in buflding and in all the paraphernalia of international trade. The settlement is the vital center of commerce that ramifies through China and extends through- out the world. To a supreme degree the interests of the Chinese pej pple and of the people of foreign natlons settlement and of thelr governments It is the port through which passes 40 per cent of the trade in China upon which millions of Chinese de- pend for their livelihood. “From the earliest days the_ inter- ests of all nations in the international settlement have prospered in times of peace and have suffered when there has been strife in the reglon surround- ing Shanghal or in the country at large. In order at least to minimize as much as possible injury to the per- sons and property of foreigners and Chinese lving at this port it has been the uniform policy of the for- eign residents of the international settlement and of their goernments to keep the ettlement aloof from factional disturbances and as far as this could be accomplished rigorously to prevent it from being utilized by faction Co-operation Asked «Phe co-operation of the author- ities in control of Kiangsu Province in carrying out this policy has been ask- ed and recelved and it has been re- markably successful “In recalling these facts to the Chinese mlilitary commanders, the American Government is confident that they will lend their sincere sup- port to the proposal now made—that the international settlement at Shang- hai be excluded from the area of armed conflict, so that American cit- izens and other forelgners may re- celve adequate protection. “The American Government will be ready for its part to become a party to friendly and orderly negotiations properly instituted and conducted re- zarding the future status of the set- tlement.” Kellogg Awaits Word. Secretary Kellogg still w: word from the Chinese military lead- ers today in response to his Shanghs proposal. The proposal has been laid before Chang Tso-Lin, the head of the north- ern military alliance, by Minster Mac. Murray, but acceptance or refusal without | GEN. CHIANG KAI-SHEK, Generalissimo of the Cantonese forces, who is mustering his troops to meet the war machine rolling down from the North. seems to depend on Sun Chuan-Fang, the Shanghai military commander. In the south the decision lies with Chiang Kal-Shek, commanding the Cantonese troops in the Chekiang province battle area. In any negotiations as to the fu- ture status of the Shanghal interna- tional settlement the question of Chi- nese representation on the council which governs the settlement probably will figure prominently.

There were no casualties, but the service of the American vessels be- tween Chungking and Ichang may be abandoned owing to the difficulties re- peatedly encountered, the dispatch said. Even down the river, below Han- kow, the transportation’ problem was described as increasingly difficult. The Chinese New Year period at Hankow passed quietly, the message continued. BRITISH SUPPORT KELLOGG. Cabinet Expected to Approve Ameri- can Proposal Today. DON, February 7 (#).—Today's cabinet session, called to consider the Chinese crisis, was expected to ap- prove the proposal of the American Secretary of State to the warring Chi- nese factions, “That the international settlement at Shanghai be excluded from the area of armed conflict so that American citizens and other for- eigners may recelve adequate pro- T as stated in Downing Street that the British government heartily supports the American view as in co-ordination with the British policy which Is to insure the safety of the foreigners in Shanghai. The Kellogg proposal raised a num ber of questions in the cabinet, one of which is whether foreign military support would be needed to back up the declaration of a neutralized Shanghal. Fear Shanghai Rabble. There is strong opinion in Great Britain that the chief threat to Shanghai would be from the rabble of a defeated Chinese army or looting by a victorious army, and that something more than a proclamation of neutral- ity is needed to deal with such dan- gers. It is emphasized, however, that the British government fully sympathizes with the principle of the American suggestion. The cabinet also was expected to a today on the allimportant question ¢ whether the British military and naval expedition now on the way to the Far East will be deflected from Shanghai, as requested by Engene Chen, foreign minister of the Nationalists, or Can- tonese government. Ramsay Macdonald wishes the Brit- ish government to recall troops from China. His demand was cheered last night at a demonstration in Albert Hall, where British labor's displeasure over this country's attitude toward China was emphasized. Friendly Negotiations Urged. In demanding that troops be re- called, former Premier Macdonald ex- pressed the belief that an hour's friendly negotiations with Chen, the Cantonese foreign minister at Han- kow, would be worth “an army corps in China.” Referring to the “inflam- matory” speeches of the chancellor of the exchequer, Winston Churchill, he hoped they did not represent the gov. ernment’s policy and that they would be disavowed by the government. Since offensive anti-British posters have disappeared from the wall the Hankow concession, it is believed here that there need be no fear of an immediate recrudescence of anti-Brit- ish demonstrations. Schools Taken for Hospitals. HONGKONG, February 7 (#).—As another step toward the concentration of British troops in China, arrange- ments were completed today for the taking over of two large schools here and in Kowloon as additional military hospitals. Peninsular Hotel Bullding at Kowloon and the flour mills at Junk Bay will be used to quarter part of the troops, which will arrive shortly. Russians Keported Massing. PEKING, February 7 (#).—Marshal Chang Tsolin'’s chief of staff and righthand man, Yang Yun-ting, has telegraphed insistently from Mukden urging his chief to return there imme- diately. | One reason for his action is believed to be persistent reports of Soviet troop concentrations on the Manchurian frontier. Reports of such troop move- ments have reached Peking from numerous sources, although a recent Warsaw dispatch, stating that Rus sian soldiers were marching toward Kalgan, China, was discredited, owing to the ‘virtual impossibility of cross- ing the Gobi Desert in Midwinter.

Agents of Chile, Brazil and Argentina to Arrange $200,- 000,000 Contracts. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1927, LONDON, Februar Agents of South American states now in London are discussing with the owners of mportant shipyards the placing of or- ders for warships amounting to nearly $200,000,000 Before the orders are definitely given to Great Britain the agents will ask Dutch, French and Itallan ship- bullders to submit tenders, but the British industrialists feel confident that the orders will be placed in this country. Chile 1s understood to have placed here an order for a flotilla of destroy- ers of the largest type worth some $10,000,000, and the shipbuilders hope to be able to secure the balance of the contract, nounting to another $20,000,000. Agents of the Argentine govern- ment also are here inviting tenders for building three light cruisers, six destroyers and six submarines for $75,000,000, while the Brazillan lega- tion is understood to have intimated its desire to get In touch with British firms for a similar order. The British shipbullders are strong- ly supported by the government, which sees in these naval preparations not a threat to world peace, but a par- tial solution of the unemployment problem. ——— .

The passing of the eerie, wailing catafalque seemed to affect the spec- tators tremendously, calling out sobs of_grief, Prior to leaving the palace a brief ceremony was held, attended only by Emperor Hirohito, Dowager Empress Sadako, the young prices and their sisters of the royal household and re- tainers and priests. This was a sort of family farewell, at which offerings to the spirits were made. Prince Chichibu, second son of Yo- shihito and heir apparent, represented the Emperor in the procession, follow- ing the catafalque on foot. The Emperor was prevented from conforming to the custom of following the funeral carriage because of a re. cent cold. The Emperor and Empress went to Shinjuku Gardens by auto- mobile. The Empress Dowager, Sa- dako, and Yoshihito's mother, Countess Yanigawara, also motored to the fu- neral pavilion, as did Admiral Togo, naval hero of Japan, and other high officlals, Empress Confined to Home. Princess Takeda, sister of Yoshihito, represented the Empress both at the funeral services and the burial. The Empress did not participate in the ceremonies, being an expectant mother. The Empress Dowager appeared at the funeral ceremony only and was not present at the burial, being repre- sented at the grave by Princess Asaka, another sister of Yoshihito. Crowds began packing the route of the procession early in the morning, men, women and babies braving the cold throughout the entire day and evening with food and tea in thermos bottles. The funeral street was closed to traffic at 3 o'clock and sprinkled with white purity sand. Paper lan- terns, on which were written farewells to the dead monarch, adorned every window in the houses along the rout Schools, government offices and bu: inesses were closed for the day. No music or gayety of any sort was per- mitted. Court musiclans playing weird, wail- ing bamboo pipes signalized the start of the procession from the imperial palace. There followed immediately the booming of far-away saluting can- non and the tolling of innumerable temple bells. At the head of the procession were numerous police in uniform. Then came a troop of the Imperial Guards, the pick of the Japanese army, spe- clally chosen navy guards, army and navy bands, torchbearers and mem- bers of the funeral commission, wear- ing anclent court dress, straw shoes and sandals; court valets and more torchbearers in costumes, bearers of sacred drums, arrow quivers, bows and great shields. Two priceless chests belonging to the late ruler and containing certain of his personal effects were borne along to be buried with him. Then came Shinto priests in gray cere- monial court dress and bearers of chests containing rice and other food to be deposited in the tomb. Follow- ing these were the chief keeper of the imperial mausoleum carrying Yoshi- hito’'s sword, also consigned to the grave, and Prince Ito, grand master of ceremonies; Household Minister Ichiki and other officials.

The procession required two hours to pass a given point, the catafalque arriving at the fuperal pavilon at 0 o’clock and the Shinto ceremonies beginning shortly afterward. All photographs and motlon plctures of the spectacle were taken opposite the Tokio Club, where great numbers of arc lights {liluminated the street. Emperor Hirohito and other mem- bers of the royal family arrived at the gardens 8§ o'clock and awaited the arrival of the catafalque in a special imperial pavilion. Diplomats, prominent Japanese and a group of prominent forelgners ar- rived just ahead of the royal party. Special signals of red and green lights announ the arrival of the cata- falque. It was estimated more than 8,000 persons gathered in the gardens, but only a small number of these actually observed the ceremonies. At a given signal, the flashing of a red light, all spectators removed their coats, such being the mark of imperfal respect. Great crowds lining the funeral route caused numerous crushes in Wwhich many received minor injuries. The temporary Red Cross hospitals were filled with sick and injured, and there were numerous collapses as the resuit of the all-day vigil. The ceremonies at the funeral pa- vilion were mostly the Shinto rites. The Emperor was dressed in the uni- form of a generalissimo. The Empress Dowager and other women of the no- bility were dressed in black mourning gowns for foreign design. After the Shinto rites had been per- formed. Premier Wakatsuki and Household Minister Ichiki read funeral addresses. Then all the attendants bowed and worshiped the spirit of the the Emperor. Emperor Hirohito advanced drew curtains before the casket, prayed and presented sacred sakaki trees, while court musicians played mournful dirges on reed instruments. The diplo- mats then advanced, bowed and sprinkled incense and retired. The casket was placed in a palanquin car- ried by 105 special palibearers, 48 of these actually serving and the others relleving them from time to time.
