PARLIAMENT FACES
WRANGLE IN CHINA
Government Expected to Be
Interrogated on Handling
of Problem.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, February Foreign
affairs. particularly the problem of
China, will receive the immediate
attention of Parliament after the re-
assembling ceremonies of tomorrow
with the usual speech from the throne.
Great Britain's declaration of a new
policy toward the chaotic Oriental
Republic was made after Parliament
had adjourned for the Christmas
recess, and there has been no oppor-
tunity for discussion of 1t or for Ques'
tioning Premier Baldwin and his min
isters on a situation which Is little
understood by the general public.
Government Faces Criticism.
There is no doubt the government
will come in for some criticism In its
handling Of the Chinese problem. Con-
servative die-hards maintain the coun-
try has gone too far in extending the
hand of friendship to a country which
does not appreciate or understand
such gestures; from Labor benches
the criticism will be that the new
British policy in the Far East does
not go far enough in the way of con-
citation.
After a few days the House OF
Commons will settle down to weeks
of discussion of finance and state
expenditures, leading to the announce
ment Of the budget early in May by
the chancellor of the excheQuer, ana
with the exception of two br1ef re-
cesses at Easter and Witsuntide, the
members of Parliament will be busy
until August.
An important subject for legislation
and one directly affecting the moving
picture industry of the United States
is a bin which Is to be introduced to
assist the British film industry. More
than 80 per cent of the motion picture
films shown in this country are made
in the United States and a remedy
for this loss to local film industries
has been sought for years.
Action Seems Likely.
The recent imperial conference
made recommendations which prob
ably will take form in some sort or
British film quota measure requiring
n certain percentage of Engnsh-made
movies to be shown on Enshsh
screens.
The most important legislation from
a purely domestic viewpoint IS ex'
pected to be a bill growing out OF the
disastrous general strike of last May.
This measure would limit the powers
of trade unions so far as concerns
the use of their funds for politicaI
purposes. This question has already
stirred bitter feelings in Conservative
and Labor ranks.

FULLER QUIzzES
TWO PRISONERS
Sacco- -Vanzetti, Hunger
Strikers, Visited in Cells.
BIZ United Press

BIZ Unttcd PffSS
BOSTON, July Ex-Governor Al
van T. Fuller, who is making a per-
sonal investigation of the world-fa-
nous Sacco- -Vanzetti murder case,
visited the hunger-striking men at
Charleston State prison today.
Sacco and Vanzetti had just be-
gun the sixth day Of their volun-
tary fast, presumably a protest
against the secrecy" of the Cover
nor's inquiry, when the Governor
arrived.
While 1t was expected Fuller
would not conclude his investigation
without personal interviews with the
men who have fought seven years
to escape the electric chair, his visit
TO the prison was unannounced.
The executive was accompanied
into the presence of the doomed
men by Warden William Hendry.
The Governor remained at the
prison about an hour and a half,
during which time he also talked
with Celestino Madeiros Of New
Bedford, awaiting death in the elec-
trio chair next month for another
crime.
1t was Madeiros' confessing to
completely in the South Braintree
murders which served as the basis
of Sacco and Vanzetti's plea Of in
nocence, as both we're exonerated in
the New Bedford mans admissions.

Hearing Set for Saturday Is

NOW AT FISHING CAMP

The physical condition of James
E. Armitage is such that he will be
unable to attend hearing on his
motion for new trial in Criminal
Court, Saturday, it was announced
today.
Armitage is under a sentence Of
three months on the Indiana State
Farm, and $500 fine for an
alleged attempt to bribe Claude
Achey, former grand jury member,
not to vote for indictment of Mayor
John L. Duvall several weeks ago.
AS a result of Armitage's in
capacity, the illness of Prosecutor
william H. Remy, and the absence
from the city of Special Prosecutors
Emsley w. johnson, and John w.
Hoffman, who helped convict
Armitage, the hearing set for Satur-
day was postponed.
Judge James A. Collins said the
hearing probably would be in Sep
teInber. when court reconvenes after
vacation.
Paralysis Attack
It was learned that Armitage,
who has been at his fishing camp
on the Tippecanoe River, has suf-
fered a recurrence of paralysis, from
which he has suffered for years.
DR.. Samuel E. carp and DR.. B. B.
Pettijohn, whom Armitage has con-
suited in the past, agree that he is
in no condition to undergo the State
Farm sentence at this time.
DR.. carp, who has treated Armi-
tage since boyhood, said that Armi-
tage's nervous system is abnormal
and he has suffered four strokes of
paralysis.
"Jeopardize His Health"
"I am convinced" writes DR.. carp,
that to confine James ArInitage
would jeopardize his health and
perhaps his life"
DR.. Pettijohn. in a similar state
ment says:
"Armitage has lately had attacks
In which he has become unconscious
for short periods of time. Prognosis
in this case is unfavorable and I am
afraid will terminate in early fatal
ity."
DR.. Pettijohn also urges a stay
in proceeding against Armitage
until his health improves.
