Orient and Occident Settle DOtUn
For Grim Struggle in Shanghai

SHANGHAI, June 5 CP.-A force
of American sailors with bayoneted
rifles herding a number of cows down
the ancient Marking. road to an alb
batoir. American women combining
households when their trusted Chi
nese servants shuffied away; foreign
society women becoming telephone
operators and accepting all forms of
employment-this was the picture
presented in Shanghai today as the
Celestial City settled down to seem
ingly grim struggle-the Occldent
against the Orient-while Chinese
strikers attempted without outward
disorder to disrupt foreign activities in
a campaign calculated to starve out
and drive out foreigners.
Money changers in the streets re-
fused to take foreign bank notes. Chi
nese banks are closed and the cash
supply Is disappearing rapidly.
Strike Continues to Spread.
THE strike of Chinese workers con-
tinued to spread today. A tense sit

sion where thousands of students

nolicemen and French officers, heavily
armed, were patroling the main thor
oughfares.
MANY meetings were held across the
boundary from the French concession
in Chinese territory, but only petty
outbreaks were reported.
sharp distinctions were emphasized
bv Chinese in favoring American firms
and homes, although all foreigners
were disfavored. particularly the jap

teer foreign woman workers. who
have stepped into the places left by
the strikers.
1t became known today that a tur-
bulent faction in the Chinese student
ranks was striving to effect another
conflagratioh by urging the constabu-
larry in Chinese territory TO become
an armed force supporting the anti
foreign movement. An un9bnfirmed
report says this element is friving to
induce Gen. Chuan-Fang to move his
troops from Hangchow TO Shanghai
Foreign forces were confronted with
posters reading: "Assassinate foreign
police and assassinate foreigners con-
nected with law courts"
Student Plot Uncovered.
Among the documents seized by
police in raids on Shanghai Univer-
sity was a letter from a Chinese in
Berlin to a professor at the college
saying: 1T has been decided that stu

FRENCH SOCIALISTS
CROWD CA|LLAUX
Financial Crisis Is Averted
Only by Modification of
French Program.
By tAe Associated Press.

PARIS, June 5.-The cabinet crisis,
apparently threatened earlier today,
seemed postponed later when Finance
Minister Caillaux partially surrender
ed TO the Socialist attacks upon his
financial program.
The attacks were conducted by for
mer Finance Minister Louis Loucheur
and by Socialist leaders at a peace
conference" with the government and
the left bloc of the chamber, called
by Premier Painleve to harmonic op-
position to the Caillaux financial pro-
gram.
At first the attitude of M. Loucheur
and the Socialists seemed irrecon-
cilable with that of NJ. Caillaux. The
impasse was maintained during the
greater part of a three-hour discus
sion, but finally when M. Loucheur
took the floor the finance minister
weakened somewhat and compromised
BaIks at Capital Levy.
NJ. Caillaux insisted that the bal
ancing of the budget came first, while
M. Loucheur and the Socialists main
tanned that financial reforms must
precede a budget equilibrium. NJ.
Caillaux. however, emphatically re-
jected the Socialists demand for a
capital levy.
One of NJ. Caillauxs main argu-
ments was that 1.-The United States
is just now greatly interested in our
situation" and that the best way to
secure a satisfactory settlement of
Frances debt to the United States
would be for France to balance her
budget, and even to make her receipts
exceed expenditures.
M. Caillaux, after hearing the argu-
ments of M. Loucheur, agreed to at
tempt to balance the budget and to
''rehabilitate" French finances stimuli
taneously. This rehabilitation al
though described In general terms,
was taken to mean the Inauguration
of various measures leading to the
refunding of the internal debt and the
stabilization of the franc.
Faces Big Payments.
NJ. Caillaux told the cabinet that
he expected the French treasury
would have to pay on July / in cash
1,60O,000,000 francs to holders of
treasury bonds maturing then. SINH
lar payments of $500, ,ooo, 900 francs
on September / and of 1000 ,000,-
600 francs on December / would
have to be made, he estimated. A
total of $4,000, 200, 900 francs of treas
ury bonds will mature on these dates,
but the figures M. Caillaux gave
represented the amount of cash pay
ments that will be required by the
holders of the bonds, according to NJ.
Caillaux's estimate.
He made no explanation of how he
arrived at his figures of the cash
proportion of payments, but it was
supposed he made an estima te based
upon the proportion of cash pay
ments required by holders of treas
ury bonds that matured last Febru-
ary.
In discussing the situation with
the cabinet, NJ. Caillaux criticized

Feng Inspects Munitions.
The Feng leaders re declared to be
relying on the delivery to them in the
near future of enough machine guns
to bring their total equipment of that
arm up to 5000 pieces.
Late in April mobilization Of roll

tional government, but without any
real control over the country as
whole.
On May % The central committee
of the Kuomintang, in power at Can

Peking government and its sympathy
with the Russian Soviet. There have
been other important defections in
other provinces, and in some of them
also the influence of Moscow has
been manifest.
Chang Force Formidable.
Until recently it had been the be
lief of military observers that Chang
would be sufficiently strong TO with
stand without difficulty any offensive
movement on the part of Feng. Ap-
parently under Japanese tutelage, the
Chang armies have been consolidated
into a really formidable military force
along the Shanghai line, and

But with Russian aid pouring over
the border to Feng in an uninterrupt-
ed stream, he is becoming a power of
constantly growing magnitude not
only in the affairs of China, but IN
the broader field of world politics.

Russian Arms Dispatched.
Already considerable quantities of
arms and ammunition have been sent
across the frontier from Russia, and
Russian army instructors have gone
into inner Mongolia to cooperate with
the officers of Feng.
In some places steps have been
taken to mobilize railroad equipment
in Mongolia for Feng's troops, while
at other northern points railroad
facilities have become a prize for ac-
tive but inconclusive maneuvering.
The Russian Ambassador at Picking,
Karakhan, has given open encourage
ment to the forces of unrest in man

pleasure of the ENJOYS of the great

the situation with an absorbing In

officials are withholding comment.
The precise relation to the current
southern outbreaks to the threat of an
overshadowing war in the north is not
yet entirely clear, but il would appear
that Soviet influence in the south.
while Of admitted potentiality, is
largely incidental to other factors of
unrest.
In all parts of China there has been
increasing agitation of an morgan

Red Hand Seen at Canton.
At Canton the recent troubles ap-
pear to be rooted in fractional quar-
rels among those South China leaders
who formerly were united under the
banner of the late Stunt Yat-Sen. But
there have been open evidences of
aggravation by Soviet sympathiZers
and one faction at Canton has
charged that the party now in the
saddle there is receiving regular
financial support from Moscow.
There is little doubt among those
informed of all the circumstances that
once the situation in the North comes
to fruition a soviet and anti-soviet
cleavage will traverse China like an
earthquake from North to South.

S|MP[|F|ED BUDGET
FOR D. c. PLANNED
Auditor Hopes to Reduce 400
Items 10 Total Not Ex-
ceeding 100.

Before the next District estimates
are prepared Mai. Daniel ]. Donovan,
city auditor, will consider the possi-
bility of simplifying the annual bud
get by elimination of unnecessary
detail, the auditor announced today.
Maj. Donovan pointed out that
there are approximately 400 separate
and distinct appropriations in the
District bill, and he ventured the
prediction that 1T might be possible
to reduce them to 100 by grouping
certain allotments.
AS an example of how this might
be done, the auditor recalled that
prior to this year the maintenance
money of each park reservation in
the city was specified in the appro-
priation act. The new law carries one
lump sum for the upkeep of parks.
In various other municipal offices,
es of work are listed separately and
might be grouped under general
functional headings.
1t Is probable that the Commits
sioners will prepare the regular es-
Inmates in the usual form and that
Auditor Donovan will draft an al
ternate budget in more simplified
form, so that both can be considered
by the Bureau of the Budget.
Maj. Donovan's plan is still in a
very tentative state, however. since
it will be three or four months be-
fore the preparation of new estimates
begins.
