Decision has been reached after conferences between Secretary Stimson and the British, French | and Italian Ambassadors. In view of a probable declara- tion on the subject, State Depart- ment officials declined to comment on the nature of the action ex- cept to say it was “sweeping and unmistakable.” The Secretary called a special conference with American cor- respondents for late today, at which, Department officials said, he would discuss the Manchurian situation.

Shanhaikwan Falls Chinese Troops Leave. By the Associated Press, TIENTSIN, ~hina, January Japanese troops captured the city of Shanhaikwan on the Peiping-Mukden ailway today, reports from there said. The report said the Chinese capitu- lated after the Japanese arrived a few miles north of Shanhaikwan and the commanding general sent a_courier on to the city with a message to the Chi- nese commander informing him the Japanese desired him to evacuate his troops immediately. There were 3,000 Chinese troops red at Shan- haikwan, which is the eastern terminus of the Great Wall, where it meets the sea The first notice that the Japanese eampaign had been extended southward was contained in reports which told of the bombing of Lienshan by Japanese airplanes yesterday.

OF NAVAL BILL Secretary Explains Hoover Hasn’t Had Chance to Study Measure. By the Associated Press. Explaining President Hoover had not had opportunity to study the measures, Secretary Adams today withheld official approval of legislation calling for an increase in the United States naval strength to the maximum permitted by the London treaty. This testimony was given to the Sen- | ate Naval Committee after Adams had heard a Democratic suggestion yesterday that he resign if he was not in accord with the President’s views. He gave his personal indorsement of the legisla- tion to the House Naval Committee. The Navy Department head added it was “extremely doubtful” whether the | priations for new construction this year. | Appropriations_Doubtful. " Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the| Democratic leader, who was a member with Adams of the American delegation to the London Naval Conference, asked | the Secretary about actual construction. ‘It is_extremely doubtful,” replied Adams, “that any program calling for actual appropriations for naval con- struction this year will be submitted to the Budget Bureau.” The bill under consideration merely would authorize construction and ap- propriations would have to be made later. Chairman Hale suggested at the opening of the hearing that perhaps Adams felt, he should withhold offici3l approval of the bill until the President had studied the measure. Since his _appearance _before House Committee, where he indorsed the treaty Navy, Adams has been held | in some quarters to have opposed Presi- dent Hoover's program. Yesterday Representative McClintic, Democrat, Oklahoma, suggested he resign if he was not in agreement with President Hoover. Adams replied then that he was “absolutely loyal” to the President.

GOULD LINCOLN, | In the strong hope that the prohibi- | tion issue would not be actively raised |at the meeting of the Democratic Na- tional Committee Saturday, Democratic leaders who have come to Washington from all parts of the country for the Jackson day dipner tomorrow night and for the committee meeting turned their attention today to the place and time for the Democratic National Convention and to the apportionment of convention delegates among the States. Chicago, which already has the Re- publican National Convention, appeared to be in the lead for the Democratic gathering. Reports spread, however, that supporters of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York preferred Kan- sas City to Chicago, Atlantic City or San Francisco, the other three cities in the race for the convention. Wires we, received from Kansas City that $150,000 was pledged there to secure the con- vention, ~Chicago is prepared in a | monetary way and so are Atlantic City |and San Francisco, it is said. | _If supporters of Roosevelt on the | National Committee get their backs up | sufficiently, they may be able to take the National Convention where they wish. There is even suggestion that Indianapolis might be more acceptable than Chicago or Atlantic City. They might as a last resort prefer to swing the convention to San Francisco rather than have it in Chicago or Atlantic City, in either of which the Smith fol- lowing might be so strong as to be effective in the convention hall itself. Republicans Preempt Date. Despite the feeling among some of the Democratic leaders that this year the party should hold its national con- vention before the Republicans, it looks |as though the Republicans had pre- ‘empted the earliest possible date for a national political convention, if all the | States are to be represented in the con- | vention. The Republicans have set June 14 for the opening date of their | convention. The Idaho law providing for the election of delegates to national con- ventions is so worded that the delegates ‘cannot be selected finally this year until June 10. It would look, therefore, as | though the Democrats would have to pick a date after the Republican con- vention. So far as the matter of delegate ap- | portionment is concerned, the Demo- | crats have been, advised by John W. Davis, their presidential candidate in 1924, to use the old congressional ap- portionment as its basis, instead of the congressional apportionment under the 1930 census. Mr. Davis jhas pointed out that the present congressional appor- tionment is effective until March 4, 1933, when the Seventy-second Congress goes out of office. The Republicans, however, turned to the new apportion- ment for their delegate representation | in the Republican National Convention. Former Gov. Alfred E.

Then, as orderly as it arrived, the army paraded back to the starting point for a light lunch and prepared to leave for Arlington Cemetery to pay respects to the memory of America's Unknown Soldier. T. the meantime, Father Cox went {to the White House and personally presented to President Hoover the de- | mands of his men for relief. Later, he | joined the army in its parade to Arlington. Received by Hoover. Father Cox and his delegation arrived at the White House at 12:25. They were met in the ante-rcom of the executive to | offices by Richard Jervis of the White | House Secret Service force and waited there a few minutes. | _ With Father Cox were Earl C. Dean, Father Orlomonki, George Ewing, Mat- thew Dunn, Mayor Edward McClosky of Johnstown, Pa.; Edward McClosky, jr.; | Henry Ellenbogen, M. J. Burns, E. E. Frantz, who was in his “Uncle Sam” suit, and “Happy” Waddell. They were ushered into the Presi- dent’s office by Theodore G. Joslin, one |of the President’s secretaries. There | Father Cox was received cordially by the President. He handed the Chief Executive a printed set of resolutions and made a short informal talk. He told the President that conditions in this country at present are “ter- rible,” that immediate relief for the unemployed is necessary, and if it is not forthcoming soon, “God help this country.” President’s Reply. ‘The President made a brief reply as follows: “I am glad to receive you as the representatives of Pennsylvania unem- ployed. I have an intense sympathy for your difficulties. “I have considered that the vital function of the President and of the ‘F‘eieml Government was to exert every efffrt and every power of the Govern- ment to the restoration of stability and employment in our country, which has been so greatly disturbed, largely from abroad. “The Federal Government is spend- ing now half a billion a year above normal to give employment. World- wide depressions and their resultant unemployment are like great wars. They must be fought continuously, not on one front, but upon many fronts. It cannot be won by any single skirmish or panacea. In the present and what I believe is the final campaign against the depression, I have laid a program before Congress and I trust we will secure its early adoption. The real victory is to restore men to employ- | ment through their regular jobs. That is our object. We are giving this question our undivided attention.” The number of jobless men in the procession was not definitely known, the estimates ranging from 5,000 to 12,000. A number of the men who came to Washington, however, did not take part in the procession to the Capitol, but spent the morning sightseeing in the public buildings. Father Cox said there were 2,243 cars in the trek to Wash- ington and that 20,000 took part in the march. The demands for economic relief legislation were contained in a printed resolution, covered by blue parchment, which Father Cox presented to Sena- tor James J. Davis and Representative Clyde Kelly, both of Pennsylvania. These ‘two men propised to carry the ;!equest to the floor; of the Senate and ouse.” “Resolution of Jobless.” ‘The resolution presented to Senator Davis and Mr. Kelly was headed: “Resolution of the "Jobless.” It called on Congress to appropriate $5,000,000,~ 000, to be raised by the issue and sale of bonds and to be expended for the creation of work and public construc- tion and the appropriation of sufficient sums of money for loans to farmers.
