BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The situation in Shanghai continues to remain obscure and dangerous. Cer- tain indications would make the situa- tion appear as slightly improved, while other indications would tend to show that it is growing more complicated every hour The favorable sign is that the League of Nations seems determined to act promptly and with more determination than heretofore. One the ther hand, two Japanese air- plane carriers are expected in Shang- hai today; one ship is carrying 72 air- planes and the otker 34. The Chinese have not been idle either. Gen. Chang Kai-Shek is re- ported to have dispatched to Shanghai his famous “iron brigade” to reinforce the 9th ‘“route army,” which is fight- ing the Japanese and has suffered heavy losses. That brigade is the model army of China and has gone through intensive training, officered and instructed by Germans. Japanese Mark Time. The Japanese were driven back to their previous positions Friday night. and on account of their numerical weakness, have been time. In the meantime, Japanese military authorities do not appear willing to recede from their initial arbitrary at- titude. ‘They seem to wish to ignore the in- ternational treaties which subject the city of Shanghai to a well defined in- ternational control. The Japanese have established headquarters of their land- ing forces in that section of the Inter- national Settlement which is assigned to the control of the Americans. The American commander had repeatedly asked them to evacuate that sector. So far he has received only polite an- swers stating that the Japanese troops will be withdrawn; but nothing has happened and the Japanese continue their patrol. On the other hand, the Japanese have undertaken to patrol another section of \ternational Settlement which is to the local municipal force. irman of the municipal co | cil has repeatedly asked the Japanese commander in_ chief to withdraw the patrol, but so far without avail This is the actual situation in Shang- | hai. The fighting has for the time being ceased, but the attitude of the Japanese military remains obdurate in spite of assurances given yesterday by Ambassador Debuchi to Secretary State Stimson that the Japanese do to interfere witk other nations in the Internation- forced to Effect of Notes Awaited. effects of the Br an notes on the Japanese gov- are awaited with impatience here and in London. terday very general resume of the con- tents of the note, and it is said in well informed quarters that the British and American notes were couched in a firm, strong language. There is no question of leaving doubt in the minds of the Japeanese that both governments have decided to act with utmost deter- mination to safeguard their rights, re- gardless of what Japan thinks. It is hoped in diplomatic quarters in’ Washington that the notes of the two English-speaking powers will have a salutary effect and prevent the Japanese from going any further in Shanghal, at least Japanese diplomats are clever and far seeing, but it is stated in well-in- formed quarters that they did not ex- pect Great Britain and the United States to reach a definite agreement for common action in the Far East. Tokio, it is reported, was fully con- vinced that the commercial rivalry be- tween the United States and Great Britun in the Orlent is sufficiently powerful to prevent the two nations from coming to an understanding which may lead to serious complica- tions with Japan and possibly some other power. Gratified by When it was reported from London last Wednesday that the British cabinet was split over the question of whether Great' Britain and the United States | would co-operate, the report was re- Split.” | was interpreted as further proof that | Japanese diplomats had read the situa- | tion 1n the West correctly In Washington it is considered possi- ble that the Tokio government may still sider, on the basis of the pacific feeling in Great Britain and the United States, that neither "country means business, and that after a last effort to bluff the | Japanese out of their present position, nothing more will be said. | This alleged frame of mind of the | Japanese is further strengthened by the fact that the: Japanese, knowing of the | drastic economies made in the last two | i years in the American Navy, are con- vinced the United States is not pre- | pared for any.real emergency and that | the British would be most unwilling to go to the end ‘with a nation which is| not prepared for' war. On the other | hand, the British, under the Labor ad- ministration, had practically suspended work at Singapore and consequently | have practically no naval base in the | Far East for their capital ships. The only adequate naval base is at Saigon !and that belongs to the French, of whose neutrality, in | trouble, the Japanese have been assured, This situation explains to many the present adamant and “I don't care what ! You do” policy of the Japanese govern- | ment. Ready to Face Issue. | This policy may change, however, | when the Japanese government finds that Anglo-American co-operation is o {mere bluff, and that both countries, | statement | while anxious for peace, are deter- mined to go far to assure their vital interests in the Far East and the re- spect of international treaties, without which there can never be peace in the world. It is said jn usually well informed quarters that neither the United States nor Great Britain intends to be pro- vocative. But should events embroll them into a situation from which they cannot honorably retire, they are both determined to face any issue. The political situation has been so clouded in the last few days because nobody quite knows what the Japanese are after. They could easily have avoided the Shanghai trouble if they had wanted only to break the boycott in that important port. Chinese authori- ties had accepted the Japanese ulti- matum to suspend all anti-Japanese activities and the innocent Japanese { Consul General Murai went so far as |to declare himself satisfied with the i Chinese reply to his ultimatum. Yet after the Chinese had accepted all the conditions imposed by the Tokio | government, and the American author- | ities, to make things still easier, closed | the offices of two anti-Japanese papers | published in the International Settle- ment, the admiral commanding the | Japanese forces began bombarding the | open city of Shanghai and landed troops to attack the Chinese cfty.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 30.—The establishment of clinics in large cities to concentrate on the training of physicians in the latest methods of medical sclence was urged tonight by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior. Speaking at the fiftieth anniversary dinner of the New York Post-Graduate School and Hospital, Dr. Wilbur said: “Experience has shown medical stu- dents can be adequately handled in | comparatively small communities while large centérs can adequately deal with | the difficult training of mature physi- tematic and regular sojourns at 1 centers should be a part of life of the practitioner of the future. At least New York, Philadel- phia and Chicago should possess large opportunitfes along this line. Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans and San Fran- cisco and other cities can well use their more limited clinical facilities for some graduate instruction. “The future of medicine and the happiness of our people depend largely upon an advancing medical profession made up of men who grow each year in knowledge and capacity.” MINERS OF LLINOIS ASKEDTOENDBAN Union Adopts Resolution Op- posing Injunction in La- bor Disputes. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, January 30.—The blenniad convention of the United Mine a resolution opposing the use of injunc- tions in labor disputes and asking the Tllinois mi! junction against the international offi- cers of the union Adoption of the resolution was by overwhelming majority, represented a victory for the administration of Presi- dent John L. Lewis and defeat for the officials of district 12 in Tllinois. The district union obtained an in- ction against the international offi- cers two vears ago to prohibit their in- terference in Illinots affairs Debate on the resolution started late Thursday, when John H. Walker, dis- trict president of Illinois | the Illinois leaders would volunteer to have the injunction dissolved if the international organization would grant the Illinois union the right of self- government. The climax came late today, when President Lewis scored the action of the Illinois district officers and de- nounced the use of injunctions At the conclusion of Lewis' address the question on the resolution. A ris- ing vote showed all the delegates in the convention except those {rom Ii- linols supporting the resolution. 'THREE WOMEN HURT IN TRAFFIC MISHAPS {Two and Girl Struck by Autos.

Once this has been achieved, China will be in-a state of complete chaos. Under such circumstances it would be easy to establish regional governments under the wing of one or two powers which are reported to have agreed, as far back as 1926, to divide China be- tween themselyes into zones of influ- ence. Naturally the United States is ?ot :lesired 85 a guest at that succulent east.

The number ef applicants for this ‘made’ work for men and women is steadily increasing. It is not work sufficiently attractive for pecple to do it if there were any other work available.” Mr. Graham said applications had been received from many people who never had been reduced labor before. He said they had no alternative unless they accept alms, be- cause they are at the end of their re- sources. “Unemployment results in the great- est need our city has ever known.” Mr Graham- added. “It is in addition to the burden of continuous need which our charities always have and probably always will have due to sickne: widowhood, desertion, old age, death of parents of cfildren, delinquency, way- wardness and lack of proper guidance of our youth.

Then, as night came on, all searching operations were brought to a temporary halt by snow swept down on the mountains | by a high wind. Airplanes were flown back to their bases quickly and ground parties scur- ried for cover. A number of those on foot reached Lebec in the mountains. They were half frozen and declared that even had the pilot of the ship landed safely, he and his passengers could not possibly survive the rigors of the storm.

To refer to a joint commission the subjects of retirement insurance, elec- tive workmen's compensation and dis= missal wage. To establish employment bureaus in New York, Chicago and Washington. The employers also have indorsed a policy of creating reserves when earn- ings are good, with the reservation that they should not be restricted to pay roll reserves. They also have indorsed the policy of chosen co-operation between manage- ments and employes, but without men- tion of company unions, to which the labor organizations objected. Labor Pleas Quickly Rejected. The presidents reiterated at today joint session the same proposals. The brotherhood delegates reiterated pro- posals already rejected by the presi- dents, a scaling down of the deduction to 61, per cent, with provisions for unemployment relief and assured full pay for 1933 Today's session was ostensibly to be taken up with the management’s reply to the unions’ counterproposals. All of these counterproposals were quickly re- jected by the presidents yesterday and the lobar delegation was reported to be :onsiderably irked by the summary man- ner with which the presidents cast aside propositions it had taken the unions four days to assemble. Last night the union men argued again in favor of their propositions, and at their insistence the presidents agreed to give them further con- sideration. Willard Argues for Full Cut, But when Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and leader of the executives' group, got up today to present the answer, it was to argue again for the full 10 per cent cut and not to grant any concessions in the direction of a smaller percentage. Willard told the men a full 10 per cent was necessary to give the railroads the financial relief they considered vital at this time. It was a fair pro- posal, he said, putting the organized employes on the same reduced salary basis that had already been effected throughout the non-union classes. It provided for the automatic return to the present wage scale after 12 months, he pointed out, whereas any enforced cut would be permanent. Alternatives Suggested. The labor delegates have argued prin- cipally on the last of the four proposi- tions they introduced yesterday. This would provide that a 6! per cent de- duction in pay go to the carriers with- out limitation as to use, but that an additional 31 per cent go into & fund for each road, the fund to be used for direct relief of unemployed railroaders and for additional employment. Two alternatives were suggested, one a flat 6, per cent deduction and the other a 10 per cent deduction with the roads paying back 3! per cent of it directly to the workers the second year. In addition, the unions asked the car- Tiers to promise not to undertake an- other pay deduction for a full year after the termination of any sgreement enm tered into here.
