A—4 waw ENVOYS T0 PARLEY SOONTOBE NAMED Admiral Standley and Davis Expected to Go to Naval Conference. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt was believed to be ready to announce today or tomor- yow the.names of the men who will represent the Umited States in the London Naval Conference beginning December 6. Advance indications were that Nor- man H. Davis, the President’s “roving smbassador,” and Admiral William H. Standley, chief of naval operations, would head the delegation. Great Britain has called the other #ea powers—the United States, Japan, France and Italy—to the conference to see what can be done toward an agreement limiting navies after the present London and Washington treaties expire next year. Davis Sees President. Davis, who represented the United SBtates in preliminary naval discussions in London last Fall, conferred with the President yesterday. He said they had talked about the position to be taken by the United States, but neither he nor others would discuss this position. In the preliminary talks last year no formula for an agreement was| reached. As the talks drew to a close Japan, dissatisfled with the short end of a 5—5—3 ratio of naval strength, served notice of her intention to termi- nate the Washington treaty December 81, 1936. The London treaty auto- matically expires on that dabe./ Aides to Be Named. | The Japanese delegation of 20 glready is bound for London.

Brown (Continued From First Page.) strong enough to live without outside help. The new Northern republic, organ- 4zed by the Tokio government, claims to recognize nominally the sovereignty | of Nanking. Under the circumstances, the West- ern powers, which are anxious to avoid any more trouble, may decide | that their embassies shall continue | to be located in Peiping, since that city still belongs nominally to lhe Chinese Republic of Nanking. The theory is being advanced that the withdrawal of the embassies from Peiping would play into the Japanese bhands and would be immediately in- terpreted by Japan as a de facto rec- ognition of the existence of a new state, and the Western powers do not intend to give Tokio this satis- faction. The same thing applies to the pres- ence of the foreign troops in Tientsin. These small forces are there on| the basis of a treaty signed with| the old Chinese government. That treaty—known as the Boxer treaty— has not been repudiated by the Chinese yet. Consequently, regard- less of what the Chinese generals, paid by the Japanese, may do, the west- ern powers will endeavor as long as possible to continue to regard China 85 a unit. Under the circumstances it is considered unwise to raise the question of withdrawal of the diplo- matic missions and of the troops from | Peiping and Tientsin. Of course, it is pointed out, the| Japanese through their paid Chinese | officials, may make it impossible for the foreigners to remain in the newly | acquired territory. The embassies may have difficulties in communicat- ing with their governments and with their Nanking representatives, while the presence of troops in Tientsin may occasion disturbances which will force their governments to withdraw them to some other parts of China. China (Continued From First Page.) ond advanced as a prospective chair- man for the new regime. The third mentioned for a high post was Tsao Yu-Lin, who served as minister of finance for the Peiping government from 1917 to 1919 and negotiated loans with Japan which later brought on him denunciation by student patriots as a “traitor to China.” A Rengo dispatch from Peiping quoted Hsiao Chen-Ying as saying the new government would ask Tokio to nominate advisers for its military and civilian departments to bolster the native leaders. The five provinces involved in the movement, dispatches indicated, are Hopeh, Shantung, Shansi, Chahar and Suiyuan. CONSCRIPTION ASKED. Nationalist Party to Urge Enforcement of Decree.

THREAT TO INVADE REPORTED Ultimatum Presented for Immediate Autonomy. PEIPING, November 19 (#).—Chin- | ese officials said today they were carrying out a program of autonomy for North China only to save that area from Japanese aggression. The officials declared the Japanese army had threatened to invade and occupy North China unless the Chinese authorities complied with a demand for the establishment of an sutonomous North China government.

SHANGHAI, November 19 () —Ut- most significance was attached today to the impending departure of Akira Ariyoshi, Japanese Ambassador to China, for Nanking in view of the apparent imminence of a declaration | of North China independence. Japanese sources said Ariyoshi ex- pected to leave tonight for the cen- tral Chinese government capital and would confer Wednesday with Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. All news of North China develop- ments was excluded rigidly from the| Chinese press, but a belief was grow- | ing both here and at Nanking that| the way was smoothed for forthcoming | changes without any violent manifes- tations. | Ariyoshi was expected generally to seek to quiet further any Nanking ap- | prehensions.

A high source said, however, that | there was little probability of any ac- tion being taken immediately by Great Britain because of the uncertainty of the exact situation. In informed quarters it was ex- plained that Great Britain has al- ready lost most of her trade in the affected area and that there is little the government could do to oppose the secession of the North China provinces concerned. It was stated that no representa- tions have been made to Japan. r.lnt the roof” with Winslow's Pure seed Oil Metallic Roof Paint before it Itl ~—and then it can’t leak. Only $1.25 lslllon. 22 N. Y.

Owensby died at an Asheville hos- pital yesterday after telling officers he was accidentally shot in a scuffie with another boy. He said he had promised the boy not to reveal his| name.

He sald these were relatively few and that their identities are now becoming known so that their mali- cious shafts can no longer deceive in- telligent persons. Hopkins was introduced to the con- ference, which is meeting in the May- flower Hotel, by Mayor Edward J. Kelly of Chicago, who was presiding. Kelly said the conference has the greatest confidence in the President and his advisers and declared “we know we are on the upgrade.” Mayors Here to Help. Asserting unemployment is the great- est problem facing the mayors of American cities, he told Hopkins the mayors were not here to demand any- thing, but were asking his help. At the opening of today's session Becretary of Labor Perkins told the mayors the cost of social security under the law enacted at the last session of Congress will be comparatively small for some years to come. Pointing out the act provides for Federal aid to the States for old-age assistance, mothers’ pensions, public health services and various other meas- ures for the care of dependents, Secre- tary Perkins said: “This Federal assistance will aggre- gate slightly less than $100,000,000 in the next fiscal year and will increase thereafter. Money will be made avail- able when Congress reconvenes for grants to the States, almost all of which will be made on the condition they are matched by the States.” A general discussion among the mayors followed the addresses by Hop- kins and Secretary Perkins. Although both were applauded, there were some dissenters. Mayor W. F. Carr of Durham, N. C., said it seemed to him the problem of relief was being tackled hind part foremost. “My idea.” he said, “is to get jobs going. Then relief will take care of itself.” Defends Administration. After Carr and several other mayors had concluded their criticisms of re- lief projects, Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York City came to the defense of the administration. “Every criticlsm made here today,” he said, “should be against the States and cities instead of against the Fed- eral Government. If every State had met the situation as generously and sympathetically as the Federal Gov- | ernment we would have no relief | problem in our citfes.” This afternoon the mayors will| make an inspection tour of the De- | partment of Justice and at 4:30 will | be received at the White House. The annual dinner will be held ténight. Yesterday Attorney General Cum- mings, in an informal talk, told the | mayors of the crime prevention and | detection work being done by the De- partment of Justice. —_— — BAND CONCERT.

It was bright and fine all day, but in the evening low clouds hung in the south. At midnight it seemed to be clearing, the barometer steady and promise of a fine morning. At midday, with the sun shining, | although the thermometer registered zero, we taxied the machine for half an hour or so, but, because of the sticky surface, we failed to rise. At night, with the temperature at three below zero centigrade, the machine took off without trouble. Herbert Hallock-Kenyon, the pilot, flew her to the top of the hill and taxied to the gas dump, and then, with several hands from the ship helping, James Lymburner and Patrick | Howard, pilot-mechanics, soon com- | pleted the loading and final checking. The food supplies were stowed in the forward cabin and all instruments were checked, so that the first spell of suitable weather will see us off.
