was used by the United States that no gain by force of arms would be recognized and creating a special committee of 19 to report on cessation of hostilities and arrangements for withdrawal of Japanese troops.
President Paul Hyams of Belgium, expressed hope that both China and Japan would accept the resolution, making it possible for | the assembly to adopt it unanimous-| ly on Friday.
j Later, however, it was believed j unlikely that a reply would be received from Tokio by Friday and, j furthermore, it was reported that,	^

These points are the seclion affirming that any settlement by military pressure ls contrary to tlie| covenant of tho League and the clause which anticipates that it is the privilege of the assembly to I proceed to paragraph 4, article 15

The board's statement conlained other bright spots. Monetary gold stocks increased $12,000,000 to reg ister the first gain since Dec. 23, 1931, and bringing the nation's entire holding to $4,362,000,000. Business failures were reported lower than for any week since last December.

j China More Favorable To New Proposals; Cite League Request
SHANGHAI, Friday, March II —
| (UP) — Hope for peace In the Yangtze valley, raised yesterday by new Japanese proposals more acceptable to the Chinese, continued strong today despite a stiffening of tHe Chinese attitude.
The Chinese military leaders obviously were attempting to strengthen the government's position throughout China as a result of the warfare, which was virtually ended last n(ght as the Japanese troops held positions north aud west of Shanghai.
At the same time the Chinese government formally replied to Japanese minister Manoru Shige-milsu's latest peace overtures, say-

viding for a truce, suggesting arrangements for withdrawal of the Japanese and preparing for a round table conference to settle the conflict.
The Chinese definitely limited the discussions, however, to matters pertaining to cessation of fighting and unconditional wlth-drawalof Japanese troops.
Chinese advices also continued to charge the Japanese with aggressive activities, although neutral sources said it was believed hostilities virtually were ended.
At Nanking, the government considered a plan to divide the republic into four military areas under powerful war lords, such as Chang Hsueh-Llangwn ln the north; Ho Ylng-Chlng in the Yellow liver area; Chiang Kai-Shek ln the Yangtze valley and Chen Chlntang, in the Chuklang river area. This would be to strengthen the defenses of China, and would not involve any political division#.
Trip In Senate
—The rising storm over the democratic billion dollar tax increase broke sharply in the senate late today as the measure was started on its way through congress with the promise that it would help bring back prosperity.
As democratic leaders in the house defended the provisions of the bill, senate colleagues slashed at the proposed sales tax. Senators C. C. Dill, dem., Wash., and Kenneth McKellar, dem., Tenn., denounced this form of taxation as "an infamy" and "an untried dangerous policy which cannot but result in oppression.”
Senate Democratic Leader Joseph T. Robinson tried to quiet the storm by saying the sales tax might be ‘‘absolutely necessary.” He warned that a four billion dollar government can not be operated on a two billion dollar Income, -even though a sales tax is "disagreeable and objectionable,”
Acting Chairman Charles R. Crisp of the ways and means committee in opening the session's most momentous debate ln the house, said that the plan to balance the budget, if effected, would release into business channels huge amounts of money now held for government borrowings by banks and Insurance companies. He said this would stimulate employment and help bring business back to normal.

STUDENT TO TALK ON AIR PROBLEMS
Demanding to know "why the subject of safety is so taboo among airline operators,” and declaring that "the greatest reason for obstacles in the public's acceptance of aviation Is a feeling of 'lack of safety,’” 8onla Turney, a member of Prof. Karl W. Hill’s class in commercial aviation problems, and a Trojan staff reporter, will speak over radio KFAC at 8:45 next Sunday morning during the National Flying system’s weekly quarter-hour, on the subject of "Getting Air-Minded.”
