LONDON, December 5.-An empire
wheat quota, probably providing that
so or so per cent of wheat milled in
Great Britain must come from the en-
pire, the Daily Mail said today, will be
announced by J. H. Thomas, domin-
ions secretary, next Wednesday as a
step toward protecting British agricul-

The quota plan has been under dis
cussion since the Inauguration of Spe-
cial protective measures for other Brit

election.
The proposal to include the domin-
ions on a privileged status over other
foreign countries followed a campaign
for empire tariffs which has been Waged

brook, noted newspaper publisher, as
its chief exponent.

PARIS, December 5.-France and the
other allied countries have information
that the German Fascists within a few
weeks will take over the government of
Germany. No alarm is felt here over
the pending event and the possibility
rs that there win be little or no violence.
Europe is preparing its mind for the
change from Democracy to Fascism in
Germany. 1t had regarded the change
hs inevitable, but remote. Today it is
counted as a matter of weeks and well
Informed circles here and in other cap
itais believe Adolf Hitler already has
chosen the day when his khaki-clad
Nazis, with their SwaStika banners fly
sng, will occupy the seat Of power.
The date is thought to be not later
than February. Now that the certainty
OF Hitler's ascension seems evident, the
other European powers are assuming a
more philosophical attitude than that
OF a few months ago. Instead of a
prediction that a Fascist Germany
would mean war, one is told that Eu-
rope will put up with Hitler as it has
with other dictators and that the
crushing responsibilities of state will
make Hitler far less dangerous than he
Is as an irresponsible agitator.
Hitler Heeds Warning.
There have been many signs lately
that Hitler and his followers are mod
Grating their tone in foreign matters;
Both President Won Hindenburg and
ChornatlOr HainTinh Pr11pTinO have
advised Hitler against alarming the
whole world and Hitler has apparently
needed the warning and even sent ennis
Saries abroad, notably to London, to
Teassure both politicians and flnan-
cicrs. Fears that Hitler's first act on
reaching power would be to seize the
Polish Corridor and Upper Silesia have
been somewhat allayed, and while no
illusions exist in either Poland or
France as to the tremendous difficult
lics the Hitler government would
create, the tendency now is to adopt a
waiting attitude and judge Hitler not
by talk, but by acts.
The French government, as well as
French bankers, has made exhaustive
investigation in Germany, and certain
reDcrts, which this correspondent has
seen. indicate such doubt as TO whether
the German government will attempt
10 resist Hitler'S seizure OF power or
whether even when the test comes

with Hitler and bring the latter into

GOA, Portuguese India, December 5.
The coffin of ST. Francis Xavier was
unsealed today for the thirteenth time
in nearly 400 years. Booming guns,
pealing bells, fireworks and the crash

scene of Oriental splendor celebrating
the Catholic festival in this old Portu-
guese city, which has been called the
Rome Of the East"
The body of the saint was officially
reported to be in good condition.
The ceremonies began with a bril-
liant procession, in which the colorful
vestments of the clergy blended with
the picturesque Indian surroundings,
The procession was led by a special
emissary sent by Pope Plus XII and it
included 3 archbiShops, IS bishops and
hundreds of members OF the clergy.
The Church of Bonn Jesus where the
sody OF st. Francis was exposed, was
thronged by 10000 people, who heard
the papal mass of benediction.
Led by the archbishops, the congre-
cation passed before the coffin and
kissed the dead saints feet.
The body will continue to lie in state
for month and it is anticipated a
million pilgrims from many countries
Will come during that time to see 1t.

NANKING, China, December 5,-Dr.
Wellington Koo, who became foreign
minister OF China last week, and DR..
Alfred SEE, Chinese delegate to the
League of Nations, resigned today.
President Chang Kai-Shek sent a
telegram to DR.. SEE in Paris, urging him
to reconsider and assuring him the
Chinese government was firmly behind
him.
The President also saw Dr. Koo and
requested him to remain as foreign
minister, but it was believed DR.. Koo
would make his resignation effective
tomorrow
The two designations came within a
few hours and greatly surprised the
capital.
DR.. Koo a graduate of Columbia Uni
verSity and a former Minister to Wash
ington and London, became China's
foreign minister November 23 The
post had been vacant since the reSigna-
ton of G. T. Wang in September.
Dispatches from Marking during the
last few days have reported negotia-
tons between DR.. Koo and the Jap
anese, supposedly over the proposal to
create neutral zone in the Chinchow
area. Chinese officials have denied
that any negotiations were going on,
declaring they would not treat directly
with Japan while Manchuria remained
occupied.
DR.. Koo is one of the best known
public men in China. He represented
his government at the Peace Confer
ence in Paris in 1919 and at the Wash
ington Arms Conference in 1921.
He holds an honorary degree of doc
tor OF laws from Yale University.

Court UphoIds Presidents
Right to Refuse Recommit-
tai of Appointment.
LEGISLATIVE BODY HOPED
TO RESCIND ITS APPROVAL
Justice Gordon Rules Executive
Order Necessary to Remove
Commission Chairman.

President Hoover today won his con-
test with the United States Senate over
the appointment of George Otis Smith
as chairman of the Federal Power Com
mission when District Supreme Court
Justice Peyton Gordon denied the
Senate's application for a quo warranto
to GUST DR.. Smith from the office.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon
tana, who led the fight in the Senate
for reconsideration of the Smith ap-
pointment, announced that an appeal
would be taken from the Supreme Court
decision. He offered no comment
pending study of the ruling.
President Hoover appointed Dr. Smith
after the Senate had notified the White
House of approval of the nomination.
Later the Senate reconsidered the con-
firmation and asked President Hoover
to return the nomination. The Chief
Executive stood on his right to act
after notification of the confirmation
and refused to send back the nominal
ton.
DR.. Smith in the interval had been
appointed and had entered upon his
duties. The Senate then determined to
take the matter into court and as At
torney General William D. Mitchell had
advised Mr.. Hoover of his right to dis
regard the request of the Senate, the
suit was instituted in the name of Leo
A. Rover, United States attorney, with
his consent.
John w. Davis, former Democratic
candidate for President, and Alex ].
GroeSbeck, former Governor of Michi-
gan, were selected by the Senate to
prosecute the case George Wharton
Pepper, former Senator from Pennsyl-
vania, appeared as counsel for DR..
Smith and defended the action of Pres
ident Hoover.
Case Under Amusement.
Justice Gordon heard the case some
weeks ago on the application and the
answer of DR.. Smith, and has had the
decision under advisement.
He holds that President Hoover was
entitled to make the appointment after
receiving notification that the Senate
had given its approval to the nomina-
ton, and as Dr. Smith had received
the appointment to the Office with the
advice and consent of the Senate, he
may not be removed therefrom except
by executive order.
The justice wrote lengthy opinion
in which he reviewed the Senate rules
and their notifications since 1870, and
points out that since the rules came
into their present shape this case is the
first in which the Chief Executive has
stood upon his right and defended as
joint issue with him.
Can any other Interpretation be
given to the notification" says Justice
Gordon, than that it was intended to
inform the President that the Senate
had discharged its constitutional func-
ton and had Internationally approved
the nomination and that the President
was free to discharge his constitutional
function in the matter? 1t would be
