CANDH| GIVES GREAT BRITAIN UNTIL DEC.
 ITO DO SOME THING
SHOULD GREAT BRITAIN FAIL GANDHI WILL AGAIN LEAD
 LIBERTY CAMPAIGN

LONDON, Nov. 18. (F)-Mahatma Gandhi, heartened by talk with Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, reconSidered his decision to leave for India and has agreed to remain until the Round Table conference is ended.
 Lord Sankey, chairman of the conference, has decided to prolong the session another week after sev- eral delegates had boosted their view that the principle representa- tiveS must be heard before a con- stitution can be drafted for India.
 This leaves me in a fog," said Gandhi, but I am ready to spend the winter in England if necessary to stay results from these meetings" !" The Mahatma told the Federal Structures Committee, which is charged with the formulation of a constitution, that India must have full control over her own army.
 We will go through fire and storm and distress" he said, land if it be Gods will, through a shower of bullets to obtain our independ- ence. The nation which has no control over it's defense forces is not a responsible nation and if the British people think it will be century before we can be trusted with control of the army then for that century the Nationalist Con- gress will wander in the wilderness. If India cannot have control over the army, then the army should be disbanded. I will wait until eter- nifty if cannot get control over the National defenSeS."
 Mahatnla Gandhi gave the Brit ish until December to do some thing for India and said that if Great Britain failed to do so he would sail for Bombay on December 4 to lead new and more intensive disobedience movement throughout India.

CRAND| AND HOOVER WWH|TE HOUSE
 CHAIRS TOGETHER
ITALIAN MINISTER SAYS THAT HIGH TIME IS HERE FOR
 DISARMAMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. IS. R) President Hoover and Dino Grandi, of Italy, came together to seek common ground upon which they could unite to promote the welfare of the world.
 Secretary of State StimSon ac- companied the visiting Statesman to the White House. Grandi carried d bulky bundle of papers on arms Limitations and it's consequent ben efits to the world economic Stabili- :, zation. Grandi also had literature covering debts, separations, the possibility of a treaty revision, the maintenance of the gold standard and every other question which might conceivably be of mutual or individual concern which might come under discussion in detail.
 Choosing his own words, the Foreign Minister yesterday de- scribed the present time as a good time to carry the world disarma- ment movement to a practical re- suit. He made this statement at 3 conference with newspaper men devoted to diplomatic formalities and private talks with American officials. His answers to questions about disarmament were unhesitat- ing.
 Speaking in a fluent English he readily found words to convey his thoughts on the most intricate of international problems. T think the question of disarmament is the most important existing in the re- lations between the countries" he said. Tt is high time for every body to seek a practical result"

NEW ISSUE |s THRUST INTO THE MANCHUR|AN
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

PARIS, Nov. IS. tP)-A new and menacing issue was thrust into the Manchurian peace negotiations. This issue was the possible effect on agitation to change the Treaty of Versailles in the event the League of Nations Council fails to uphold Japan's demand that China recognize the sanctity of all com pacts existing between the Tokyo and Ranking governments.
 Along with this new issue came two other factors that confused the search for the elusive compromise that might bring peace to Manchu- ria. There were indications that the United States was relaxing it's firm stand for Japanese evacuation of the disputed area.
 And there were rumblings from Russia. News that Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet Con1miSsar for Foreign Af- fairs, has protested to Tokyo re- garding Japanese army activity in the region of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The Russian sphere of influence in Manchuria led to the belief that Russia would not remain aloof in case the League failed to to stop the Japanese advance.
 The Rightest Press of Paris loud- ly applauded Tokyo's position as the bulwark of the European status quo and branded as principle. the Chinese proposal to arbitrate the validity of treaties imposed by force of arms.

JAPANESE FIGHT IN SELF DEFENSE; SEND
 CHINESE SQUIRTING
UNITED STATES DESIRES OPEN DOOR TO MANCHURIA AND
 RESTORE STATUS QUO
(By Associated Press)

After a ashing offensive
 against General Mah's Chinese army, the Japanese soldiers ST the Chinese fleeing in disorc.- the northward, beyond Anganchi and TSitsihar. The Japanese oc-
 cupied Anganchi and continued to push forward and reached point
 at the outskirts of Tsitsihar. Mukden headquarters of the Jap anese reported to the Japanese war office at Tokyo and said that the attack was provoked by General Nah and the Japanese fought in
 self defense and that fighting would continue until the Chinese army is crushed and permanent peace established.
 The League of Nations met at Paris to consider privately the re- suits of yesterdays individual dis Icussions from which representatives Iof Japan and China were absent. The United States attitude at Paris is said to be the desire to. maintain, its traditional policy of an open door to Manchuria and to associate itself in an international move to restore the status quo of Manchuria. It Is also the desire of the United States to do everything
 possible to avoid wounding of the Japanese feelings.
 Chinese officials at Ranking are pesSimiStic over the prospect of firm action by the League of Ma tions toward forcing Japanese eva cuation from aMnchuria.
 Japanese officials said that their
 troops, in crossing the Russian owned Chinese Eastern Railway at Anganchi, they would make every effort not to disturb Russian inter ests.
 General Nah, in reports to Peip-
 ing, said that his condition was becoming serious following the general attack by the Japanese who
 were using infantry, heavy guns and airplanes.

ATTEMPT MADE ID ROB
 SEWARD P0sT0FF|cE

Due to the alertness of PostmaS- ter Charles Sheldon, a shipment of gold dust valued at $24O,0OO was prevented from being lifted at about 3 o'clock this morning.
 Postmaster Sheldon, who sleeps on the mezzanine floor of, the post office, was awakened by a slight noise and armed himself and came down to await the entrance of the robbers. However, in the dark, he bumped into a chair and thus warned the burglars that someone was inside the postoffice and they immediately took flight.
 An examination of the door, where the robbers had been work ing, showed a series of four auger holes bored beside the Yale night latch and ready to admit hand for the turning of the lock.

ARR. DEFICIT REDUCED
 BY ECONOMIES AND NOT BY THE HIGH TARIFFS

Through economies, not by req son of tariff increases, did the defi- cit in operation of the Alaska Rail- road attain a new low mark during the past fiscal year; reduction of 52 per cent lower than that of the preceding year, or slightly in excess of $5OO,00O. Heretofore, the annual deficit has been in the neighborhood of $1,000,000.
 It is believed, from The Gateway's conversation with Colonel Otto F. Ohlson, general manager of the system, that he is asking in his re- port to the Secretary of the In- terior an appropriation of $500.000 for the coming fiscal year.
 Regarding the tariff increases af- fected by the Howell committee, Colonel Ohlson stated this import ant matter will be taken up per sonally with Secretary Wilbur and that at this time it would be rather premature to make a definite an- nouncement.
 This winters work along the line, besides the great local tie-making activity which should produce at least 100000 ties before spring, will be replacement of two wooden bridges on the northern division by steel ones. In the spring, ballast ing of the railroad between Nenana and Fairbanks will be started.
 Colonel Ohlson, who is enroute to Washington, D. O., on his annual trip, is accompanied by Mrs. Ohl- son and Mir. Barndollar He ex- poets to return North in February
 Aside from feeling gratified as to the revived interest in mining, Col onel Ohlson again emphasized the importance of producing in Alaska the common necessities which can be produced here with ease and of which the importations run into the millions.
 Regarding coal bunkers in Sew ard this will undoubtedly be a real ity when tonnage justifies such an expenditure; 1t is not quite so, at the present time, less than 5000 tons having been sent through the Port of Seward during the past year.
 While the tourist traffic for the l ensuing season does not appear so 1 at this time, yet it is an- ticipated it will be equally as large l as the past summer.
 The reindeer situation is more or less in abeyance though further developments are looked for dur ing his present visit East.
 Colonel Ohlson stressed the in1- portance of cooperation between Seward, Anchorage and Fairbanks toward inviting the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce visiting this area next summer and that the var ous chambers of commerce or other CIVIC bodies should immediately ex- tend invitations to the Californian organization to come North with FalrDanks aS the Interior destina- ton point.
 During Colonel Ohlson's absence superintendent Holmes has been named Acting Manager.
