Japan’s Drive Believed Near
Chinese Reinforcements Speed Fresh Attack On Great Wall
TOKIO, Thursday, March 30— j (l'.P)—Japan's long-expected drive ; past the great wall into China I proper may be started momentarily, foreign military observers here believed today.
The situation at Shanhaikwa, walled Chinese city where the great wall meets the sea, is extremely tense, observers understood.
Although Japan had localized clashes with Chinese troops at portals along the wall from Chanaik-wan far inland, the situation was aggravated following the arrival of Chinese reinforcements.
A section of Japan's Kwantung army, now stationed in Manchuria, in Jehol province and along the Jehol side of the wall, is known to favor an invasion of China to drive back the soldiers now challenging Japanese at the wall.
Sensational developments were forecast here unless the Chinese cease threatening to invade Jehol when Japan's guards along the border are withdrawn.
It was understood here that considerable Japanese replacements had reached Manchuria to reinforce the Kwantung army.
Possibility of some misunderstanding with Soviet Russia was seen in special dispatches to newspapers here from Harbin.
Bank Control Constitutional, Says Counsel
Ample Powers Given to Congress To Unify Banking System
Roosevelt Begins Work On Bill To Control Stock Market
WASHINGTON, March 29—(U.E) —Congress has ample power under the constitution to unify the coun-| try’s banking system under complete control of federal authorities, such as was attempted by the national bank and federal reserve acts, according to Walter Wyatt, general counsel of the federal reserve board.
Congress has wide powers in regulating the nation's banking system, the counsel held. He cited two instances, the national bank act of 1864 and the federal reserve act of 1913, as steps taken by congress toward formation of a central banking system. Both failed to meet their objective.
The powers under which congress may establish a unified bank-! ing system, were summarized by the federal reserve board counsel as follows:
“1. The power to create the national banking system and the federal reserve system as useful instrumentalities to aid the federal government in the performance of certain important governmental functions includes the power to take such action as congress may deem necessary to preserve the existence and promote the efficiency of those systems.
“2. Having provided the country with a national currency through the national banking system and the federal reserve system, congress may constitutionally preserve the full benefits of such currency for the people by appropriate legislation.

Farm Relief Bill Gets Attention
WASHINGTON, March 29—(U.P) —The senate agricultural committee closed the door of room 324 in the senate office building today and began a private wrestling match with H. R. 3757—better known as the Roosevelt farm relief bill.
Shortly after 5 p.m. the com mittee members began to emerge, bedraggled and tired, confessing they had made little progress on the question that has plagued the dreams of congress ever since Senator McNary and Representative Haugen produced the McNary-Haugen equalization fee measure back in the administration of President Coolidge.
The real fight comes tomorrow. Today was spent, according to senators, in tacking minor amend-t ments onto the measure. Even on those there was a woeful diverg-j ence of opinion.
