(Coprricht. 1235, by the Associated Press.) TOKIO. June 7.—A crisis in the tense North China situation appeared impending today. Japanese troops were on the move and the army received government authorization to apply pressure to the region south of the Great Wall Army transports were sailine from Japanese ports. It was officially de- | nied, however, that these activities | were directly connected with the Japanese military authorities’ objec- tives in_Chinese territory The Reuters correspondent at Peip- ing cabled London today that | Chinese reports said the Japanese were demanding the withdrawal from the Peiping area of two Chinese Gov- ernment Army divisions commanded by Gens. Kwan Ling-Tseng and Huang-Chich High Command Confers. A full report on the Sino-Japanese tituation was submitted to Emperor Hirohito by Field Marshal Prince Kotohito Kanin, chief of the army general staff. Premier Keisuke Okada also conferred with Foreign Minister Koki Hirota and Lieut. Gen. Torano- suke Hashimoto, vice minister for war A foreign office spokesman drn:rd' that the demands the Japanese mili- | tary authorities have presented to the Chinese Government constituted an ultimatum “There is no time limit in the usual sense of an ultimatum,” he said, “but the Japanese Government hopes China will accept the demands and settle the matter as soon as possible. ! “In the unfortunate event that the Chinese fail to comply, we must con- sider the situation anew. It is im- possible to say then what steps will be taken.” Territorial Aims Denied. Asked whether Japan's demand for dismissal of Yu Hsueh-Chung. Gov- ernor of Hopei Province, and other Chinese officials—which admittedly was made—did not constitute a viola- tion of Chinese sovereignty, the spokes- man replied: “Japan intends to respect Chinese sovereignty and Chinese integrity. We have no territorial ambitions in China.” The spokesman’s assertion and For- eign Minister Koki Hirota's concur- rence in the latest instructions indi- cated the civillan government had at last faMen into line and accepted the military branch’s initiative in im- posing Japan's will on North China. Small units selected from the 1st. 4th. 7th and 12th Divisions embarked in the transports Osaka and Moii ! bound for Tientsen. Army officials explained the departures were for routine annual replacement of the North China garrison. They said the total number of troops moved was less than 1,000. Ultimatum TIs Forecast. It was officially announced the Gov- ernment has instructed the military authorities in North China again to urge fulfillment of the May 29 de- mands. Army sources insisted the new representations would take the form of an ultimatum, setting a time limit for compliance. A high civilian authority also de- clared the note probably would name a date. “as is often necessary in nego- tiations with the Chinese in order to prevent the customary Chinese delay- ing tactics.” The authority denied. however, the note would contain a threat of force in the event of non-compliance. “Hence, it cannot be called an ulti- matum in the sense of international usage,” he said.

The Shriner's hospital board met prior to their visit to the White House at the Willard Hotel. where they heard a report from Chairman W. Freeland Kendrick. Kendrick reported that during the 12 years ending March 1. 1934, the end of the hospital’s fiscal year, more than 17.750 children had been admit- ted to the hospitals and were dis- charged entirely cured or materially benefitted. In addition to this num- ber. he said. more than 30.000 children were taken care of in the out-patient departments. Waiting List of 1,800. The total waiting list today in the various hospitals is more than 1.800. Assets from all sources as of March 31, 1934, for the Shriners’ hospital board were listed at $8,859,633.28 During the present year Kendrick reported 3,800 children cared for. Pa- tients admitted to these hospitals must be destitute but can be of any race, color or creed. “But we do not value our assets, nor do we refer to our investments,” said Kendrick, “with the feeling of satisfac- tion with which we refer to our in- vestments in the reconstructed crip- pled child and the assets that he or " (See SHRINERS, Pg. 4, Col. 1) | Donald had left the royal presence.

The accession of Laval halted the outward flow of gold from the Bank of France. The franc itself quickly strengthened until it was no longer possible to ship gold and the only gold withdrawals from the bank were because of commitments made yes- terday. The liner New York, sailing today, was assigned 160,000.000 francs ($10,- 500.000) of gold, one of the last ship- ments of the recent gold movement Bank Market Quiet.

Roosevelt Explains Social Aims at Press Conference BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt today in a brief and extemporaneous statement at his press conference explained the social objectives of his administration. “This is a difficult subject to dis- cuss offhand,” he said. “It would take an hour or two hours at least.” Then he continued: “The social objective, T should say. | remains just what it was, which is to “flo what any honest government of any country would do—to try to in- | crease the security and the happiness of a larger number of people in all | occupations of life and in all parts of the country: to give them more of the good things of life: to give them a greater distribution, not only of wealth | e > | in the narrow terms, but of wealth in the wider terms; to give them places to go in the Summertime—recreation; | to give them assurance that they are not going to starve in their old age; to give honest business a chance to go | ahead and make a reasonable profit and to give every one a chance to earn a living. “It is a little difficult to define it, and I suppose this is a very off-hand definition, but unless you go into a long discussion it is hard to make it more definite. And I think, however, that we are getting somewhere toward our objective.” His remarks were in reply to a ques- | tion by Robert Cromie, editor of the Vancouver Sun of British Columbia, Canada, A phasized that all vol | fa practice must anti-trust laws, #y 1 to proceed immediately tn debate a consider the N.
