FOOLS JOKE ON NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 1
[PJ-Adapting his plans to the
date, Commander francesca DE
PinedO played an April fool
prank ON New Orleans today.
His announcement that he
would take off this morning FOR
SAN Antonio ON the next stage
of his four continent trip brought
IL small crowd to the industrial
canal docks to witness his de-
pnrture. But the unreliable date
and the sudden indiSpOsitiOn of
one of his companions caused
change I'm his plans at midnight
last might and the crowd was
left waiting at the pier.
The commander was engaged
in conference with United states
aviation men during large part
of the day and as result of
these conferences and through
the insistence of Galveston cits-
zens, he again altered his intin-
erary to make Galveston the first
stop after he takes Off here to-
morrow.

WASHINGTON, April tP).-Firm
intention of the Washington govern

'The United States government is

He added that no orders for Ameri-
can evacuation of Shanghai had been
issued from washington and that only
those Americans located at points in
China where protection could not be
afforded had been advised to withdraw
by Minister MacMurray at Peking.
Mr.. Kellogg's statement was
prompted by published criticism among
Americans at Shanghai, including cer-
tain officials of the municipal council,
which governs the international city,
charging lack Of firmness in Washing

statements and rumors describing the
accident as d result of a deliberate
attempt to kill Mr.. Ford dwindled
to an expression of belief that il
actually was an accident, possibly
unknown to the driver who caused
it. The possibility of further Of

Cabinet Demands Repara-

DRASTIC ACTION
United States and Japan
Asked to Join In Pro-
posed Protest.

LONDON, April lF.-Great Britain
is. prepared to play a lone hand and q
strong hand if necessary in settling the
Nanking affair A note to the Canton
ese authorities stating the British de-
mands was approved by the cabinet to-
day and is to be forwarded to the
washington and Tokyo governments in
the hope they will agree to make the
protest jointly. Otherwise Great Brit
ain will act alone. 1t is understood
the final draft of the note demands
reparations for the victims of the Nan
king outrages, or their families, pun-
ishment of the perpetrators and apollo
gies to the governments whose con-
sulates were looted and whose officials
were attacked
The cabinet also considered what
action to take in the event of rejection
of the British demand by the Canton
ese. On this question, however, it is
indicated that Great Britain's policy
has not taken very definite form.
Much depends upon the wishes of the
United States and Japan. Suggestions
have come from both capitals which
might be incorporated in the British
plan of action However, in this case
also Great Britain will act alone if not
supported by the other powers.
The fixing of responsibility for the
Nanking attacks on individuals of the
Cantonese troops will be left entirely
to the nationalist government or
which the British place responsibility
for the events at Nanking. Officials
here believe that establishment of 3
commission of inquiry composed o.
foreigners would be futile, resulting
only in delay in liquidating the whole
affair.
Although advocating drastic and i'm
mediate action to obtain full satisfac
tion regarding Nanking, officials here
emphasize that Great Britain's funda
mental policy of conciliation for Chinf
and recognition of the legitimate as
pirations of the nationalists is unal
tered. When the Nanking affair i
closed, it is stated, Great Britain in
tends to carry out this announced
policy to the fullest extent or to what
ever point the nationalists will co
operate.
