Unsettled Conditions in Chinese

From Consul General

Canton, China. April l7.-@- In
view Of increasingly unsettled condi-
tions and communist activity. Doug
las Jenkins, United States consul gen.
eral. today advised American mis-
sionaries In southern Kiangsi and
northern Kwangtung and Kwangst
provinces to evacuate their posts.
Bishop O'Shea, at Kanchow, XII
angst, telegraphed that the Roman
Catholic chapel ct 0naoyuan, Kiang-
81, had been burned. He said Reds
had burned the homes Of well-to-do
shopkeepers and farmers in scores Of
places IN southern Kiangsi, and he
termed the locality a belt Of un-
spealkable arson, murder and rapine. I"
The bishop said military assistance
from the Kyangtung government had
long been promised but It had not
matcrtslized, as was the case also
with Nanking promises. He said this
assistance was not expected any more
now. since the responsible govern
ments seemed little interested In at
tempting to subdue the radicals there.

firmation Of the reported death Of

Of Revenue illegally

washington, April l7.-(R-With

TO differ over whether the senate has
the constitutional right to initiate
such legislation.
Representative Smell, Of New York.
on, Of the Republican leaders Of the
house. In discussing the plan after a
conference Nth President Hoover de-
clared In his judgment the system
contemplated the raiisng of revenue
and therefore could not be cousti-
tutionally initiated In the senate.
A number Of senLte agriculture
committee members, however. took
issue with Smells Interpretation and
were inclined to look With little con-
Germ upon the suggestion. Chairman
McNary said thai rather than reve-
nue. raising, the plan was revenue
taking" and In his opinion could be
suggested first by the senate.
The debenture plan Is q system OF
Issuing certificates to exporters to be
exchangeable 1t par for payment Of
import duties. Under the debenture
section framed by the senate COM
mittee the exporter would receive the
world price for his product plus the
amount Of the debenture certificate
which in the case of wheat would be
approximately q cents per bushel, or
half the tariff on wheat.
There was considerable belief at
the capitol today that the senate
committee would adopt Z section CIV
ing the proposed federal farm board
the optional right to put the deben-
ture plan into operation II 1t saw fit.
There was q report that the COM
mittee already has had Z test vote
showing only three members against
1t but all inquiries along this line
were referred to Chairman McNary
who merely said he had gained the
impression that majority Of his
committee favors the plan.
So far no word, for or against the
debenture plan has been received by
the committee from either Secretary
Hyde or any other spokesmen for. the
president. Most of the committee
members now hold that unless q
strong criticism Of the plan is sent
to the capitol, It will be approved.
