JAPAN DICTATING

TO CHINA?

MAY BE PLEDGED TO QUIT LEAGUE

SIMON QUESTIONED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, Feb. 5.

Has Japan requested China to pledge herself to withdraw from the League of Nations, and not to appeal to the Nations at Geneva for assistance in the event of further crises in the Far East72

This was the question asked in the House of Commons to-day by Captain Clifford Erskine-Bolst, Unionist, who requested that the Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon, informed the House if information of this matter had been officially brought to the attention

of the British Government.

Sir John Simon answered immediately that he had no such information.

Captain Erskine-Holst, was not entirely satisfied. He asked further questions.

Was the Foreign Secretary able to make a statement with regard to the causes of the Invasion of Chinese territory by the Japanese? ho wanted to know,

And what steps were being taken for the preservation of 'British commercial Interests In that district?

Sir John referred his questioner to Capt. Anthony Eden's reply in the House the day previous, to the effect that the reacht hati- littus

Japanese and between Chinese in the vicinity of Kuyuan were a result of a misunderstand- ing on both sides.

Ile added, that in view of the fact that there were no British. interests in the area involved, an far as he was aware the second part of the question did not ap- pear to arise.-Reuter.

-New-York, Feb.-5.-- The aerial mutual assistance pact, mooted by Great Britain and France for the protection of the powers of western Europe against any possible aggression, is regarded as the most im. portant feature of the Franco- British accord,

The American view of the recent disclosures from the London con- versations between the French and British miniators, is that they mean that Britain is apprehensive of the growing German strength.

Because of this apprehensive ness, Britain finally has been forced to abandon definitely her policy of avoiding all possible European entanglements, the American opinion holds.

For the first time since the War, Britain has agreed to France's demand for a tangible guarantee of practical assistance in time of conflict. For the first time in Arteon years Britain has wavered from hor isolationist policy. This, in the American view, in signi- Acant.-United Press.

Washington, Feb, fi.

At a caneus of the Democratie members of the Senate Appro- priations Committee here to-day, the President's $4,800,000,000 Works Relief was emasculated.

Senators Alva B. Adams of Colorado and Carter Glass of Virginia unsuccessfully proposed. to scrap the entire measure and to substitute an appropriation of $1,800,000,000 to continue direct relief,

It is thought that this proposal may possibly be adopted when the fall committen meéta.

SPECULATION ON ELECTION

LIKELY TO PRECEDE LAST BUDGET

ISSUE OF CONTEST NOT CLEARLY DEFINED

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1804 Received, February 0, 8.50a.m.)

London, Feb. 5. Speculation is rife in political circles concerning the date of the next General Election, which must occur, not later than October, 1936, when the life of the present Parliament legally expires.

Usually elections are held after Budgets have been brought down, but owing to the heavy prospective .expenditure in defence services, the likelihood of a popular budget is delayed.

Morcover, it is the experience of British Govern- ments that tax-payers are less moved by gratitude for tax remissions than by hopes of future benefits, and therefore the best of budgets is no guarantee of popularity when the people go to the polls..

This view a strengthened by the fact that the Government's heavy loglalative programme, in- cluding the India Bill, will occupy Parliament until Christmas of this year.

The issue upon which the elec tion will be fought remains to be found. Labour's main attack nt the present time is that the Gov- ernment is willing to spond on armaments but not on the un- employed.

But apart from spacches by Sir Stafford Cripps, Labour has not offered any comparable opening to ita adversaries in the Government. Ionce there, is a tendency on the part of election-mongers to revert election for the National Govern- to financial issues which won the ment in 1931-Router Spacial.
