ing other bank employees and six

batcd the question with Massey.

CHIEF AGAINST
NEWS MONOPOLY
Addresses Boston Cham
ber of Commerce on
News and World Topics
By United Press Leased Wire

BOSTON, Mass, March 81
Speaking before the Boston Cham
Der of Commerce today, Karl A.
Rickel, president of the United
Press Association, declared that
mot since 1914 have there been
such possibilities in the foreign
field for veal or woe for America
as now
''Because ours is Il government
by public opinion,' he added, land
news is the raw material out OF
which public opinion is created, no
greater blight could fall upon the
United States than the creation Of
Il monopoly in news distribution.
"Such monopoly, by virtue Of
its domination over the American
press, could shape and mould the
national mind, strangling progress
and stupefying initiative. The or
ganization Of the United Press,
which distributes its news reports
on non exclusive basis, has for
ever removed throughout the world,
the menace of such 4 news control. -
Bickel s subject was Big Busi-
ness and the News
1--WE face a most delicate and
sensitive state of public mind
throughout all Latin America, he
said. Earnest, sincere and early
steps will have to be taken to bring
the nations of Latin America and
our own country again into Il real
accord.
'Events in China are momen-
tous. We are witnessing the literal
birth of great natiOn-a nation
that within the present century will
take its place as one of the world s
dominant powers. The sleeper has
! awakened. China is thoroughly
aroused. 1t is silly to refer to
events now taking place in China
as resulting primarily from Russian
agitation or the application of Mos
COW gold. The Cantonese have their
program-a demand for the right to
conduct their national life on a bas-
is of equality with other peoples.
cit was natural growth and
result of the years of mistreatment
and diplomatic bungling that China
has, generally speaking, suffered
from most of the so-called western
powers.
Reverting to the relation of news
and public opinion, Bickel said:
eff public opinion is to retain
its vitality and its strength, the
press of America must always have
at its command free and steadily
expanding source of news supply,
open to the constantly changing de-
mands and desires Of the nation s
news consumerS- the newspaper
readers-and ready at all times to
welcome new and vigorous forces
into the ranks of American journal
ism. Had it not been for the exist
ence of the United Press during the
last 20 years, many of the most i'm
portant and widely circulated news
papers in America would not be in
existence today.

By LUDWELL DENNY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 31.--Am-
erican Minister MacMurray, acting
with the British and japanese min.
:sters at Peking, is drawing up
Joint demands on the Nationalist
government relating to the Marking
riots and the anti-foreign situation
in Nationalist territory, the United
Press learned today.
Secretary Kellogg declined TO
confirm this information or com
ment upon it.
The United Press understands
that separate proposals were sub
nitted by MacMurray and the
other two ministers and that ten
tative joint draft has been worked
out and submitted to the respective
home governments.
The final document is expected
to provide for statement of foreign
claims to be submitted later for
destruction of American and other
foreign lives and property at Nan
king March "a. 1t is also expected
to demand guarantees against re-
currences elsewhere of such incl
dents.
There is understood to be some
lack of unanimity among the three
powers regarding incorporation of
an ultimatum.
Great Britain during the informal
Peking negotiations is understood
to have suggested the powers block
ade the Yangtse river, unless the
Nationalist government acquiesccs
The United States government, il
is understood, has not yet agreed to
this. Whether Great Britain is stili
seeking joint ultimatum for A.
fangtse blockade or contemplating
possible independent action of this
kind could not be ascertained.

cans are evacuated from those
cities. Evacuation of Americans
throughout the Upper Yangtse Val
ley was reported progressing salts
factorily.
The Cantonese continued firing
at destroyers and refugee ships on
the Yangtse river between Marking

All Americans in the vicinity or
