Special Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, September 15-The high
cost of racing, coupled with high tax
alton, threatens seriously to affect the
sport of kings In Great Britain. In the
last two years many prominent owners
Of racing stables have either cut down
their strings drastically or sold out and
left the turf.
Few even Of those whose horses have
won big stakes in the course Of q year
have been able to pay for the upkeep
OF their racing establishments with the
money won. One of the last years out
standing winners, whose entries &C
counted for $4,000, says this amount
did not cover his expenses. It was only
through betting that he was able to
show small profit.

Opponents to the proposed pardon

their arguments to Governor Rolph.
before the governor makes his final
decision in the case, it became
known here today.
Although the governor referred
all inquiries to his chief legal ad-

official sources that the governor
regards such plan favorably.
Governor Rolph, returning to Sac

reiterated his belief that three
months at least would be required
before a final decision could be
made.
my legal advisers say that it will
require more than two months to
study the testimony thoroughly, y
he said.
Then it will be necessary for us
to hold secret conferences to discuss
the matter from all angles.

TOXIC, Dec. 3. U.P)-Demanding
that various changes be made, the
government has delayed its accept
ance in the League of Nations plans
for settlement of the Manchurian
dispute and submitted counter pro-
posals on controversial points.
Despite japanese objections on
certain points in the plan, the gov
ernment considered that the way
was clearing for its adoption.
Japan rejected provisions which
were considered here as efforts to
establish a time limit for withdraw
al Of japanese troops and the prin-
ciple that neutral observers accom-
pany troops on police measures TO
protect lives and property.
The provisions for a possible time
limit of evacuation were contained
in the councils resolution proper
1t was specified that IL the Sino-
Japanese undertaking under the
councils resolution of September 30
which provided for evacuation of
Manchuria as soon as possible, were
not executed by the time the cour- -
ellis commission of inquiry reached
Manchuria, the commission could
make fitting recommendation IL
the council.
Sec Yelled Threat
This provision, the foreign office
held, constitutes yelled effort TO
set time limit for Withdrawal OF
Japanese troops, and was contrary
to the policy maintained by Japan
throughout: the Manchurian nego-
tiations.
Japan rejected the principle of
paragraph two of council President
Brands declaration that neutral
military observers accompany Chin
eSe or japanese military units II
either take police measures to pro-
tect lives and property. 1t was held
mere that such provision was i'm
practicable.
1t was notable that the question
OF the Chinese evacuation OF the
Chinchow region, where troops Of
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang are
concentrated, was not mentioned in
either the resolution or BRAND dec
laration. japanese officials con-
cluded that the league had no in
terest III the evacuation.
Japan has insisted that Chang
troops must be withdrawn and that
his influence must be eliminated in
Manchuria.

OPPOSITION TO
HOOVER'S PLAN
GAINS STRENGTH
Administration To Face
Battle On Moratorium
For Europe.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. W.P)-Con-
siderable opposition TO President
Hoover's one year foreign debt NOR
atorium has developed in the house
of representatives. where it will be
taken up soon after congress con-
venes next Monday, United Press
canvass disclosed today.
The administration had expected
some difficulty in the senate. where
a fight is brewing, but the hostility
in the house is surprising.
Failure Of the house to ratify Is
almost unthinkable. since President
Hoover proposed this relief to Eur
opean nations after consultation
with congressional leaders and with
the firm belief that congress would
back him up. The moratorium al
ready is in operation. Refusal OF
congress to approve it would create
an embarrassing international situ-
alton.
But the scope of opposition in the
mouse, the United Press canvass
shows, will necessitate a strong fight
by administration leaders, with per-
laps the personal influence of tie
President brought into play.
Some Republicans will desert Mr.
Hoover on the issue, but the most
potent danger is from the Demo
Gratis who are in the majority ano
will control the house. Democratic
! leaders are divided and in addition
q peculiar situation has arisen q.
respects Democrats who pledged
their support of the moratorium
when President Hoover proposed i
| last June.
A number of Democrats tele
graphed their opposition to Prcsi
dent Hoover at that time in responSu
to his inquiry. Now some of thcs,
who offered their endorsement ar,

on the ground that new situation
has arisen.
They argue that Mr. Hoover, since
the original one year moratorium
was suggested, has committed him
