u. 8. MAY FORMULATE
PREPARATIONS POLICY

Washington, April 1.-(P)-Thc
American government is believed to
be giving serious consideration to
formulation Of a policy for repair
alton for the reported outrages at
Marking and for exaction Of guaran-
tees for safety of Americans else
where in China.
The state department today, how
ever. maintained it's complete ret-
ccnce .6nothe subject and officials in
other departments familiar with re-
cent developments in China declined
to throw any light on what might be
going on.
Press dispatches from London, on
the other hand. intimated exchanges
were in progress in capitals Of vari-
Gus powers involved in the Chinese
situation, while conferences at the
late yesterday appeared to give
foundation to the belief that the
drafting of an American policy is
occupying the minds Of officials.
Outrages Laid to Cantonese
The statement that soldiers in ma
tionalist uniform committed the out
RACES at Marking, however, has been
emphasized in every dispatch for
warded to the capital from American
representatives in China and reports
from Shanghai have indicated this
has been sworn to by Americans and
other foreigners in the city at the
time.
Both Chang Kai-Shek, nationalist
commander in chief, and Eugene
Shen, nationalist foreign minister,
have expressed regret for the Nan
king outrages and promised repair
alton provided it were established
definitely that Cantonese were to
blame. Apparently the next step for
the United States il to- build up
through its own agencies case that
cannot be broken down.
