BALDWIN WILL DEFEND PEACE POLICY
PARIS PLAN AS LAST RESORT
ITALIAN THREAT TO BE DISCLOSED?
CABINET SPLIT RUMOUR NOW DISCREDITED
London, Dec. 10.-
Rumours that Sir Samuel Hoare will resign are now much discredited in responsible Parliamentary circles. Any re- pudiation of Sir Samuel by the Cabinet is considered out of the question. On the contrary, it is believed that if necessary Mr. Baldwin will vigorously defend Sir Samuel's actions.
Meanwhile, there is a tendency towards a less critical attitude where the Government's actions are concerned, as it is believed the House of Commons will be told on Thursday that Italy intended to treat oil sanctions as an act of war and that the Government was not satisfied that the necessary collective action to support the League policy would be forthcoming.
It is pointed out that Great Britain never pledged herself to anything more than collective action and if the Ministers were not satisfied with regard to its availability with respect to oil sanctions, they were entitled to take what they considered the next best step, namely, to make a supreme effort at .conciliation.

PEIPING CROWDS CRY FOR WAR
"DOWN WITH JAPAN IMPERIALISM"
10,000 DEMONSTRATE IN OLD CAPITAL
(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")
Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, (By Telegraph. 1804. Received, Dec. 17, # côn,)
Peiping, Dec. 17. Ten thousand students, peasants and workers assembled at the Temple of Heaven last night and passed a resolution to attempt to organise and arm the masses of the Chinese people to fight against Japanese imperialism. That cry echoed in Peiping more than once last night: "Down with. Japan Im- perialism."
The mass meeting determined to ask the new Political Council of Hopei-Charhar why it was selling out the national interests.
The whole 10,000, in orderly ranks, shouting slogans, with banners flying, marched towards the Chienmen Gate, near the American Embassy, and there clashed with the police.
Five thousand of the marchers, divided into small groups, were finally permitted to enter the Tartar city.
Seven boys and four girls were treated for injuries follow- ing the brush with the police officers.
Old residents say that demonstration was the most orderly and patriotic and significant in many years.
