ARBITRATION DENIED
BY CHINA

PeSin. Jan. 2.-Negotiations extend
ing over five months between China
and Portugal on the question of the
Macao boundary have failed and TODAY
the Chinese government sent IA formal
message To the Portuguese goyern-
ment that under no circumstances will
IL consent to arbitrate. IL is pointed
out that only China and Portugal can
settle this question between them
selves. Macao is on AN island of the
same name at the mouth Of the Can
ton river. China holds that for some
years all dependencies of the cit. of
Macao have been occupied illegally by
Portugal and that the only concession
Of territory ever made to Portugal was
the town of Macao. China insists
that the territory and adjacent is
lands be evacuated by Portugal.
At the Hong Kong conference, ,he
Chinese delegates refused to recognizes
Portugafs claims in Macao or to sub
nit the question to arbitration. Later
the Portuguese government sent Gen
erai Machado to China i'm the hope ,f
reaching an amieable settlement of
the dispute, but he failed in his mis-
sion.

UNINSPECTED MEAT
A SERIOUS DANGER

Washington. Jan. That half of
the meat eaten In the United States
can be called uninspeCted and that IA
real and serious danger To the public
exists as "A result, is one of the con-
clusions reached by DR.. a. ID. Melvin,
chief of the United States bureau of
animal industry. in his annual report
to the secretary Of agriculture. Incf-
ficiency of the government inspection
because Of its lack of authority To
reacn business done entirely within a
state. is given az one of the causes.
and DIR. Melvin points out the great
need of supplementing the government
inspection of meats with state and
municipal inspections.
