 "Manchuria," says the statement. ..is not part, of the personal property of Chang Tso-Lin" It continues: .sChane Tso-Lin was dismissed from his official positions and has no official standing with the government of China. His dec. laration, therefore, that the three eastt- ern provinces of gManchuria, Jehol and Shahar, and Outer and Inner Mongolia are not part of China Is a direct yto- lation of the constitution, and Chang Tso-Lin has committed the crime of re- bellion'

WHEN NATIONS DROP POLITICS
 U. s. WILL JOIN IN COUNCIL

Washington, May 21-Participation of the United States in economic councils abroad-when the governments of Eu- rope are ready to eliminate political questions from their discussions of world rehabilitation-wzs forecast tonight in official circles.
 The American government. according to officials in close touch with the ad- ministration, would be willing to join with other nations to work out plans for restoring the international commer- cial equilibrium if American representa- tives could journey abroad convinced that political subjects would be barred from any conference they attended
 Some officials express the belief that If the governments of Europe would in- vite this country to a conference which definitely confinde the scope of its pro posed deliberations to the solution of economic problems, tine invitation would receive a much more cordial reception than has been. accorded the numerous requests for American representatives at the seriesNof councils held abroad in the past three years.
 While the problems to be solved in healing the worlds war wounds are many, government economists maintain thst the basic questions to be answered l are few. Balancing of budgets by Flu ropean governments accompanied by de- nation of bloated currencies is of vital importance, according to government ex- perts who advocate the accomplishment of this end by decreased expenditure rathere than through more taxation. Armament reduction is urged as an economy measure and to restore confi- dence in the peremanency of peace and the unliklihood of interruption to re. newed commercial enterprise.
 Fixation of the war debts of the na- tions of the terms of German repara- tons upon basisNso defined as to in- still a confidence that payments of in terest and principal will be made as they fall due is the master key to the sirua- ton, in the opinion of experts, who also contend the establishment of the gold standard is imperative.
 Either credits or gold loans may be necessary to establish the gold stand l ard, officials maintained, and therein lies the part the American bankers can play in the restoration of Europe. High officials have declared that the stepl this country may take to aid interna. tionsl recovery may be fin the shoes of It's bankers" and before the financial feet can move there must be assurance of revival of productivity abroad tc justify investment of American money in Europe.
