Peiping, To-day.

Concerning the recent statement of the Japan- ese Military Attache, that Japanese planes were allowed by the Ho-Umetsu Agreement to fly over all Hopei, a member of the defunct Military Coun cll very close to General Ho Ying-chin declares that the statement is totally incorrect..

He goes on to say that during the negotiations last June concerning Hopei between General Ho Ying-chin and Mr. Umetsu, the question of flying over Chinese territory by Japanese planes Iwas never discussed. He added that the term "Ho-Umetsu Agree- ment" is also incorrect. There is no such agreement as the so-1 called Bo-Umetsa agreement," he said.

Chinese reports state that Paochang has been re-occupied by the Chinese.

Geneva, To-day.

The discussion of the oil embargo against Italy has been postponed until further notice as a result of the first session of the Committee of Eighteen, which began at 5 p.m. yesterday and lasted little more than half an hour.

M. Lavel informed the Committee of the Franco-British pro- posals, while he explained that although England and France had received no mandate from the Sanctions Conference, they never- theless made an attempt to bring about a reconciliation between the two parties to the dispute.

- Moreover, it was not a question of "proposals" but of "sug gestions," with which only the League Council was competent to deal. Naturally suggestions could also be put forward by any

other members: London, To-day.

RED SUCCESSES

The Polish representative: M. Komarnitzki, stressed that the information given by Mr. Eden and M. Laval made it the Com- mittee's duty not to take any action before the competent League of Nations organs had determined the whole situation in the light of the latest developments. The Committee will meet again to day in order to receive the reports of the Committee for the super- vision of the application of sanctions.
