OFFICIAL DENIAL IN SENATE
Senator Warns

Washington, Feb. 1. Senator Key Pittman tensely and dramatically read to the Senate to- day Mr. Cordell Hull's which
letter, stated. The answer is No!", referring to each of the three questions con- tained in Senator Hirom Johnson's to whether there was resolution as un understanding or agreement with Britain, whether there was an all- ance with any Power, and whether there was an agreement to use the American navy, or an agreement for the navy to patrol certain waters in a certain contingency.
Senator Pittman then moved that the resolution be withdrawn, and Senator Johnson said: "I consider the maller answered, but I do not desire to withdraw."
As a result of this the Senate in- definitely postponed the resoluilon, which was tantamount to killing it.
DICTATORS CONDEMNED
frank Earlier on in an unusually discussion on international affairs, that "world Senator itinn said conditions are progressively becoming worse. So-called authorities have been consolidating and strengthening And de- their war instrumentalitles, mocratle nations have been progres- sively rettenting with every indica- tion of padife fear. The continuation of such courses would have the in- evitable result of continued conquests and ultimate war, in which the so- called democracies would be at a disadvantage."
Senator Pittman charged that world conditions had become worse since the Japanese military clique seized
by rule
"arbitrary power and violence", and he said that. Japan was "avoiding" a definite answer to nuvol construction enquiries. The to denial that Japan was planning build 43,600-ton battleships did not mean that she would not bulld 42,000 tonners.
Senator Pittman said that the Invasion of Manchuria, together with the anti-Comintern Pact, the Fascist co-operation for General Franco in Spain, as well as the Japanese requett for the largest war appropriation in dictators history, showed how the were consolidating their war Instru ments-United Press.

CHINESE GENERAL GIVES OUTLINE OF CHINA'S NEW WAR STRATEGIES
Hankow, Feb. 9.
General Chou En-lai, famed "go-between" for Com- munists and Central Government armies, described to the press to-day the changed Chinese strategy and foretold a period of wild and dispersed warfare not aimed at defending Hsuehow but preventing the Japanese from consolidating their positions along the coast and on the Tientsin-Pukow railway.

The Chinese plan envisages the following moves:

2. They will march strong force into position in the rear of the enemy und in order to prevent his marching on suchow will cut his supply lines;
3. They will organise mobile units to locate and keep contact with the Japanese forces for the purpose of learning the point of attack on Hsuchow;
4. They will organise the massco of the prople to retard the Japanese by attacking small garrisons;
