TOXIO, November 25.—The largest| national budget in the history of Japan —2,239,000,000 yen ($447,800,000), was spproved by the cabinet today in the face of persistent warnings from influ< ential financial interests. The 1933-34 outlay, swollen by the extraordinary demands of the army and the navy chiefly in connection with Manchuria, involves a deficit for the year beginning April 1, 1933, of 897,- 000,000 yen ($179,400,000), for which bonds must be ‘issued.

CHINA TURNS DOWN LYTTON PROPOSALS Nanking Refuses to Enter Into Negotiations With Japan, as Suggested. By the Associated Press. NANKING, China, November 35. —Proposals advanced by the Lytton Commission and others for direct ne- gotiations with Japan to find a solu- tion for the Manchurian dispute are absolutely unacceptable to China, the government announced today. The Lytton Commission recommended an advisory conference between China and Japan with the object of hegotiat- ing four separate instruments: 1) A declnngimtl by the %}}ln:;e vernment constituting a specl > mnmnuan for the three Manchurian provinces. (2) A treaty between China and Japan dealing with Japanese ivterests. (3) Another treaty of conciliation, arbitration, non-aggression and mutual assistan ce.

Church. ssoclated Press. !Y]:;‘;’:SS;;?RGH, November 25—A constitutional amendment prohibiting payment of bonuses and pensions to soldiers uninjured in war is proposed by Samuel Harden Church, president of the Carnegie Institute, in the November issue of the Carnegie Magazine. Church recites that Gibbon, the his- torian, attributed the fall of the Roman Empire to the mercenary demands of repress boycott movements against Japanese trade. Japan itself proposed direct negotia- tions before the Lytton Commission re. ported, but in the first unofficial Chi. nese reaction ' to the Lytton recom- mendations this suggestion was char- acterized as merely affording Japan an- other opportunity to delay ultimate solu- tion of the dispute over Manchuria. If the League of Nations fails to find a solution for this dispue, C. T. Wang, the former foreign minister, said today, “the seeds of a new world war will be sown.” LEAGUE DEBATE HALTED. De Valera Announces Lord Lytton Will Be Questioned on Far East. GENEVA, November 25 (#).—Eamon de Valera, president ‘of the Irish Free State, had the last’ word yesterday in the dispute betweéen China and Japan over Manchuria. As chairman of the League of Nations Council put an end to the debate in which Yosuke Matsuoka and Dr. Wel- Jing Koo have engaged for the past three days. Then he announced that Lord Lytton, chairman of the commis- sion which investigated the Manchurian problem for the League, would submit to questioning on the commission’s re- port today. This was_over Matsuoka’s strenuous objection. He contended that the com- mission’s work ended with the submis- sion of its report several weeks ago and that its chairman should not be per- mitted now to modify that report or to comment on the debate of this week. “Japan always has been and still is one of the most loyal supporters of the League,” he said, “she hopes to remain a loyal supporter if she does'not find it incompatible with her own existence and with her policy of maintaining peace in the Far East.” This was perhaps the most significant statement during his brief colloquy with Dr. Koo. He made it in reply to an as- sertion by the Chinese spokesman that “Japan is treating the League covenant, the Kellogg pact and the nine-power treaty with contempt.” After renewing his objection to testi- mony by the Lytton commissioners, the Japanese representative warned 2 month to do it. Norman H. Davis, American delegate to the Disarmament Conference, dis- ussed arms problems yesterday with ‘suneo Matsudaira of Japan, Joseph Paul-Boncour of France and Sir John E€imon of Great Britain.

HOOVER TO STAND |NEW EFFORT FAILS BY PLAN T0 ASK DEBT COMMISSIONREGIME N GERMANY Will Urge Congressional Agency to Avoid Partisan- ship in Revision Study. |POUND STERLING DROPS TO NEW LOW OF $3.22 Britain and France Prepare New Notes as Stimson Sends Reply to Three Countries. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. President Hoover will stand by his} proposal of asking Congress to create; a “congressional agency” to deal with the question of the foreign debts, as against the proposal of Mr. Roosevelt that these matters should be taken up by the individual debtors through the usual diplomatic channels, it was stated authoritatively here today. The reason for the President’s de- cision is that the representatives abroad of the United States represent an ad- ministration which has been defeated at the polls and, consequently, whatever suggestions the American Ambassador may make in connection with the set- tlement of the foreign debts, they will be scrutinized by the members of Con- gress, to whom they ultimately will be referred, and the internal political ele- ment is bound to play an important role in that scrutiny. ‘Would Avoid Partisanship. Should agree, however, to create such an agency as suggested by the President, the responsibility of ex- amining the claims of the debtor na+ tions would rest entirely with both houses and thus the question of parti- sanship would be obliterated. The President realizes the opposition his proposal is going to meet in Con- gress whep he incorporatés this sug- on *1 his message, it was said today, tat it is hoped that the develop- ments in connection with the debt question which will take place between now and December 5, might ibly change the views of many of those smen who are at the present time opposed to the creation of that agency which has in no way the same powers as m‘en Del;; Punding Commis- 1922, Stimson has answered to- day the Prench, British and Belgian notes and will reply to the notes of Czechoslovakia and Poland tomorrow morn! STERLING DROPS TO $3.22. London Prepares New Note to U. S. on December 15 Payment. LONDON, November 25 (#).—The pound sterling touched $3.22 in_early trading on the sterling-dollar exchange today, 1 cent below the previous mini- mum reached since the country went off . the gold standard in September, 1931. The rate subsequently hardened a fraction. ‘Trading was light and there appeared to be no fresh influences beyond what brokers felt was the debt uncertainty.” The Stock Exchange was idle owing to the prevailing uncertainty. Gold Price Rises. Meanwhile gold went to 127 shillings 8 pence an ounce, another high. ‘The price of gold in the open market advances automatically as sterling de- | clines. If sterling continues to drop there will be corresponding advances in goid at each successive lower quota- tion on sterling. Meantime the newspapers are print- ing many editorials about the debts, some of them bitter, some resigned. Government representatives said all this discussion in the papers is entirely beside the point, for the cabinet itself has not decided what will be best to do. The Manchester Guardian said Eng- 1and “4ould pay the December install- ment if she is forced to do 59,” but pre- sented a detailed argument to show that harmful consequences would result in {the United States and that Europe would revert to the confusion which preceded the Lausanne Conference on reparations. Default Seen as Duty. Said the Liberal Star: “Default, the thing that was unthinkable 10 years ago, becomes almost a duty now. 1In ef- fect, America demands payment, asking us to injure ourselves, to injure her and to injure the world at large.” The Evening News said: “If we must tell America that we cannot pay, it| means we cannot and not that we do not,_choose to pay.” The cabinet gathered new data today for another note to Washington seek- ing postponement.

HITLERITES WILL FIGHT ANY CHANCELLOR NAMED Von Hindenburg Expected to Delay Acticn Until Foreign Minister Returns. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 25.—President von Hindenburg was informed today that creation of a coalition cabinet is impossible, and it appeared certain that another “presidial” government respon- sible only to the Chief Executive must .be appointed. Ludwig Kaas, head of the Centrist party, was commissioned by the Presi- dent this morning to consult the various party leaders regarding the chances for coalition. He reported that Adolf Hitler's 196 National Socialist members of the Reichstag would oppose the new chan- cellor no matter who he is, and that Alfred Hugenberg, the Nationalist leader, had declined to participate in & coalition cabinet. There was a possibility that the President would make no further move t appoint a successor to Franz von | Papen, whose resignation precipitated this crisis, until the return from Geneva of Foreign Minister von Neurath. Hitler smiled wearily as he left the conference with Dr. Kaas this after- noon. Remains an Optimist. “I've always been an optimist,” he said, “and I still am.” He and his as- soclates insist that he may yet become the chancellor despite President von! Hindenburg's withdrawal of an offer to appoint hirg because he could not com- mand the support of the Reichstag. Hitler addressed an appeal to his fol- lowers today after the President with- drew his offer to make Hitler chan- cellor of a parliamentary government. The document ended as on previous occasions, “the fight continues.” The apj predicted the ultimate triumph of the Nazis provided they did not compromise to help bolster up a tottering system. A group of presidential advisers were reported as suggesting that their chief aj t Dr. Heinrich Schnee as chan- cellor. Dr. Schnee was formerly a colonial expert and was the German member of the League of Nations’ Man- churian Commission, New Parliament Called. Hermann Goering, speaker of the last Reichstag, has issued a formal call for a meeting of the new Parliament on December 6. Goering, associate of Hitler in the National Socialist party, said last night that no matter who gets the job of chancellor the Nazis will op) him :o bitterly that he will not hold office jong. Goering insists the way was still open for negotiation betwéen Hitler and the President. ; The President’s letter to Hitler seemed to bear him out, for Von Hindenburg, expressing his appreciation of Hitler’s assistance, wrote, “My door will always be open to your counsels.” “I think.” the letter said, “it would be impossible to give the (National Socialist) party leader complete presi- dential authority, especially in view of the party’s past tactics and the fact that it opposed the President personally as well as opposing those measures which he thought necessary to relieve the political and economic situations. “Independent of this, however, the President repeats his spoken declara- tions that his door always stands open for your ideas on pending matters, so that the way may be left open to win your movement to co-operation with other forces for building up the nation.” DRY REVISION POST DECLINED BY NUTTER Former Head of Boston Bar Won't Serve as Chairman of Mas- sachusetts Committee. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, November 25.—George R. Nutter, former president of the Boston Bar Association, today declined to serve as chairman of the special committee of citizens named by Gov. Joseph B. Ely to formulate a program of revision of the State's liquor laws. The Gov- ernor announced immediately that Bentley W. Warren, prominent Boston attorney, had been named in his stead. Nutter, in a letter to the Governor, which he declined to make public until the chief executive had perused it, re- fused, he said, to serve on the commit- tee in any capacity. He said he was first apprised of his appointment_through newspaper head- lines and ‘added, “I will have nothing to do with it.” The Governor said he had been in- formed of Mr. Nutter's decision and that Mr. Warren had accepted the prof- fered chairmanship. The committee, comprising seven prominent citizens, including two wom- | en, was named to start an immediate study of the problem of bringing the State’s liquor laws into line with pos- sible repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment to the Federal Constitution or the repeal or modification of the Vol- stead act.

Protection Against Any Attempt to “Muscle In.” | By the Associated Press. | CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 25— The Executive Board of the United Brewery Workers’ Union of America to- day announced plans to ask the Federal Government to help prevent any effort of Chicago gangdom to “muscle into” the brewing industry when and if beer is legalized. Joseph Obergfell, secretary-treasurer of the International Brewery, Flour, “Prepared to Resist.” At the same time, Edward Flore of Buffalo, president of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes and Beverage Dispensers’ International Union, told the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor his organization was prepared to resist any attempt of racketeers to seize control. “We have canceled a few member- ships,” he said, “because of racketeer- ing, but they are so few as to be of no importance.” He asserted his organization, having a membership of scme 300 bartenders in Chicago now, is organizing in Chi- cago, but not with the aid of gangs. “We will surrender our A. F. of L. charter,” he said, “if we have to or- ganize Chicago with gangs.” “Our union,” Obergfell said, “has understood for some time that Chi- cago’s gangland had plans to get its clutches on the industry. One of, the most _important questions now b€fore our Executive Board meeting here is this very issue, and we are now wrestling with the problem. “If the underworld gets control of the brewing industry it will wreck the industry and wreck our union. The business must be operated on a high plane. Only men of good character and reputation should be permitted to have a license to operate a brewery.” Local Unions on Guard. “The 14 members of our Executive Board come from all parts of the United States—from New York, from the Pacific Coast, from the South, from the North—to attend this meeting. They are all united in the determina- tion to keep the brewing industry out of the clutches of gangsters and racket- eers. They are united in the determi- nation that no union members shall have any affiliation with gangland, and that brewery operating licenses should be granted by the Government only. to men who have no connections with the gangsters. “We must keep the brewing industry a legitimate industry. We saw the un- derwold crowd grow as a result of the great mistake of prohibition. Our union has fought for 14 years for a restoration of good beer.

By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, November 25.—Rev. Rem- bert G. Smith, suspended a year ago on charges of “gross imprudence and high unministerial conduct,” was re- instated by the North Georgia Confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, here today, after he had made an apology. Smith had frequently criticized bishops and other leaders of his church for what he called their political ac- tivities, but Bishop John M. Moore, in presenting the Smith case to the con- ference, said that Smith's statements | about politics and his criticism of bishops had nothing to do with his suspension. Tried Year Ago. “What he said about politics and the bishops had no more to do with his trial last year than what he might have sald about Mussolini,” Bishop Moore said. “The church has no right to try a man for his political views.” At the North Georgia Conference last year Smith was tried before a com- mittee in executive session, and the only announcement made at that time as to the reason for his suspension was that he was suspended on charges of “gross imprudence and high unminis- terial conduct.” Smith's criticism of four bishops was based on what he termed their political activities against Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York in the presidential race four years ago. The bishops were: James' Cannon, jr.; E. D. Mouzon, H. M. Dubose and John M. Moore.

Dr. Smith walked down the aisle, mounted the steps slowly and read de- liberately as follows: “Bishop Moore, Fathers, Sisters and Brethren: “While I have felt that I have been misunderstood and have been made to suffer keenly, nevertheless I humbly accept the judgment of my brethren who consider my conduct contumacious | during the term of my suspension.
