LAMONT GRAT|F|ED
BY i. S. BUSINESS
Secretary Finds No Appreci-
able Depression Resulting
from Stock Market Crash.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Maintenance of a general high Level
OF business by the United States during
December was viewed today by Secre-
tary Lamont as an indication that
American industry had reached point
where break in New York stock prices
does not necessarily mean a national
depression.
After a conference with President
Hoover, the Commerce Department head
said that reports being received by his
department showing that December
business in general was as good as 1t
was a year ago, were highly gratifying
Not Greatly Affected.
The lack of large inventories. indi-
eating that consumption had kept pace
with production, was cited by him as
the principal reason general business
conditions were not apprecisbly affected
by the stock market break. None Of
the major industries was overloaded
with goods when the break came, he
said. Such a condition, in his opinion,
would have resulted in a general can
ceiling of orders and brought about a
recurrence of the depression suffered by
business in 1921.
The development of rapid transpor-
tation and maintenance of a high level
of efficiency by the railroads, he said,
had made it unnecessary for companies
to place heavy orders for goods at any
one time. This. he said, had kept down
tendencies to overstock.
The weak spots in national business,
In the opinion Of Secretary Lamont.
are the automobile and tire industries
and the building trades. He was of the
opinion there might be a general slow
ing up in the manufacture of automo-
biles and automobile tires during the
next six months.
Improvement Expected.
Construction work, which has been
under the handicap of high money
rates, he believes, probably will improve
somewhat Immediately, due to the
starting of State and Federal conStruc-
ton under President Hoover's plan for
business stabilization.
President Hoover yesterday expressed
his pleasure upon learning from the
Commerce Department that Christmas
business had been up to the high level
of last year. He also said that reports
from State governors indicated that
approximately 25.0O0.OOO in state
public works would be spent in 26
States. He expects to tabulate the
probable expenditures of all 4s States
by January l..
The more favorable position of the
building trades which had been ex-
pected to follow the lowering money
rates has not become visible, he said,
because the lower money rates have
not reached all parts of the country.
The general revision downward of in
terest charges is expected to be effec-
tive all over the United States within
the next two months.

STANFORD STADIUM. Palo Alto,

Of impending darkness in this huge
bowl today, more than 10000 spectators
huddled around its embanklnents saw
a great Stanford team beat down the

new and brilliant heights for 1929.
Surging, crushing power, generated

season in a four-way tie for the Pa

Three Touchdowns in Last Half.
In the last two quarters, Stanford
pounded over for three touchdowns.
The first half ended, 14-13, with Army
on the short end, but in the closing
sessions its line was pierced and its
defense battered down before the ire
mendous reserve strength that came
on to the field.
A tumble by eagle in the third period
started the drive for points that saw
Stanford pull away from it's Eastern
rival in the score board total. On his
own 17-yard line the Red Knight"
dropped the ball. Driscoll, Cardinal
guard, recovered. Four powerful lunges
at the Cadets forward wall by Smalling,
fullback, brought q touchdown. The
try for point from placement was wide,

SHANGHAI, December 2S.-Despite
the fact that several foreign govern

the Nationalist government took action
tonight to end January / the extrater-

In thus seeking to abrogate the rights
OF foreign countries to have their ma

the Chinese government says 1t is an
attribute of its sovereignty that for

i. s. UND|STURBED
BY FRENCH STAND
State Department Feels 1t
Does Not ImperiI Naval
ParIey.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the delivery at the State De-
partment last night Of the French note
giving the attitude of that government
toward the London naval conference, a
conviction was expressed In oficial
quarters that the French position would
not constitute an important obstacle to
the parley.
The French stand came as no sur
prise to officials here, and there were
indications that it had been expected
that the French would maintain with
regard to the Forthcoming conference
a similar position to that held during
former considerations of the dlsarma.
nent question.
StimsOn Is Silent.
Secretary Stimson already had de-
clined to comment on the French posi-
ton, either on the basis of summaries
Of the note received at the State De-
partment from London and Paris or on
the basis of press dispatches from the
French capital.
Jules Henry, FIRST secretary Of the
French embassy, delivered the memo
randum to the department Immediately
after its arrival by diplomatic mail
from Paris. The note will be trans
lated from French into English before
being transmitted to Secretary Stimson
tomorrow at his home.
Aside from intimating that the
French note caused no fears for the
success Of the London parley, State De-
partment oficials declined to discuss
the communication.
Britten Optimistic.
Members of the House naval affairs
committee, however. were not so re-
served In their opinions with regard to
the French position. Representative
Britten, Republican, Of Illinois, chair
man OF the committee, readily ex-
pressed the view that the French atti-
tude should not result in a breakdown
of the conference. A similar view was
expressed by Representative McClintic,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, a member of
the committee, who said he could see
no reason why the three major naval
powers, the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. could not negotiate
a separate three-power agreement in
the event of the withdrawal of the
French or the Italians from the parley.
There was not a unanimity of view
in Washington, however, that the
French note had not cast an obstacle
in the way of a full-rounded agreement
at the forthcoming parley. The opinion
was held by some of those active in af-
fairs of foreign relations that as re-
suit Of the French position, there was
little prospect for anything more at
London than an agreement for another
holiday on capital ships.
Those who held that view expressed

In the absence of Secretary Stimson
department officials declined to discuss

tnat the attitude of the American Gov

mixed courts now operating in China

Favor Gradual Abolition.
Secretary Stimson already has stated
tnat the American Government would
stand nrmly on its attitude toward re-

leges as set forth in a note forwarded
to the Chinese Government August 10
That note held that gradual relinouish-
ment OF the privileges should be ac-
companted by the enactment and effec-
tive enforcement Of a Chinese code of
Jurisprudence In accordance with mod

The United States in the same note
indicated its willingness to participate
