.S RAFTS POLEY FOR SPONER ALK Hull and Aides Put Final Touches to Delegates’ Instructions. . B the Assoriated Press. Secretary Hull and his aides, pur- suing a course charted personally by President Roosevelt, put the finishing touches today to an outline of policy for American delegates to the nine- power parley designed to curb Japan's invasion of China. No hint of the nature of this policy was disclosed after extended confer- ences which the President held yester- day with his chief diplomatic ad- visers and the cabinet. It was believer, however, that a @efinite decision was reached on the lengths to which the United States will go in collaborating with other governments to apply the President's suggested “quarantine” of Japan, Neither did State Department of- Bicials have any immediate comment on the Japanese reply to its condem- nation. Meeting Details Discussed. The date and place of the nine- power meeting, and possibly other details, were understood to have been discussed yesterday and last night by Hugh Wilson, Assistant Secretary of 8tate, and V. A. L. Mallet, Charge d’Affaires of the British Embassy. Britain is one of the nine-power treaty adherents designated by the League of Nations to invite the United States—also a treaty signatory but not, # League member—to the proposed conference. There was no indication that any of the powers now intends to propose that the conference be held in Wash- ington. Officials here are represented as favoring a European site. Speculation waxed unabated on what decisions may be forthcoming from the Assembly. Noiwithstanding gen- erally expressed views that the United States intends to steer a moderate course in considering procedure against Japanese aggression, predictions were made in some quarters that an eco- nomic boycott of Japan might have to be dealt with by the conference.

There were increasing indications that the Far Eastern conflict, with par- ticular reference to America’s neu- trality law, will form the ba for a| new congressional controversy at the | next session.

MIDDLEMAN IS BLAMED FOR HIGH MEAT PRICES Virginia Agricultural Economist | Says Consumer Resistance Is Forcing Drop. B the Associated Press. BLACKSBURG, Va., October 9.—| J. L. Maxton, assistant agricultural | economist of the Virginia agricul- | tural extension division, said yesterday that this week's decline in meat prices | was not unexpected and might just s well have occurred 30 days ago. He said high prices of the past few years were not based on scarcity but | on a wide margin of profit for mid- | diemen. i | While practically the same number of hogs were slaughtered this year as | in 1934, prices are up 40 per cent, he | pointed out, and added that this was | true in general of poultry, sheep and beef. Maxton said as great numbers of | hogs are killed during the next few months he expects prices to drop further until they are more in line Wwith consumer demand. Consumer resistance to high meat | quotations, he said, is working hand n hand with large meat supplies to force the cost downward. To Complete Motor Route.

The American League Against War and Fascism, assembling around 150 persons late yesterday, attempted to picket the Japanese Embassy, but po- lice drove the demonstrators away. ‘The crowd gathered in front of the Embassy with such banners as “Stop the Murder of the Chinese People” and “Quarantine Japan.” ‘Warned of the demonstration, po- lice had stationed 30 men inside the Embassy grounds, and they advanced on the picketers. Police Inspector Ed- ward J. Kelly, in command, threat- ened them with jail if they did not disperse. The crowd backed away. Jack Zucker, spokesman for the league, asked and received permission for & small committee to present a written protest at the Embassy. He and two others went up to the door and gave an attache a statement condemning the Japanese invasion of China. The paper declared: “We pledge ourselves to boycott all Japanese goods and to induce others to do likewise until such time as the conduct of the Japanese government entitles it to be considered within the realm of civilization.” Agreeing reluctantly to abide by po- | lice orders, Zucker said: “I want to point out that the Police Department is violating our constitu- tional rights to picket, and we will be back later.” b | After the protest had been delivered to the Embassy the crowd left, KILLING MARKS CLOSE OF FRENCH CAMPAIGN 16 Wounded in 8kirmishes During Preparations for Cantonal Elections Tomorrow, By the Associated Pross.

OPPOSED National Council for Prevention of War Condemns Any Plan for Aggravating Situation. Condemnation of any plan to ine volve the United States in a boycott against Japan wzs voted yesterday by the National Council for Prevention of War, meeting here in its annual ses= sion. Frederick J. Libby, executive asecre« tary of the organization, was directed to draft the council's expressed posi- tion toward foreign policy for pre- sentation within a few days to Presi- dent Roosevelt. The council resolution against the boycott proposal expressed the opinion that it would aggravate the present situation, cause intensification of Jap=- anese military operations against Chima, give Japanese military leaders a rallying cry for pressing their war, and bear hardest on Japanese civilians who are not to blame for the aggres sion against China.
