must buy more Swedish goods in order
to improve the balance Of trade, he said,
and the government would Immediately
discuss measures to that end.
The Commissioners of the Riksbank
said there had been heavy demands on
Sweden for gold after Great Britain's
action and that foreign currency and
the Riksbank's gold reserve had been
reduced last week by 100,000.000 krona
($25 900 ,0O0) while hope of obtaining
foreign credit sufficient to assure the
supply of foreign currency had not been
fulfilled
Norway's withdrawal from the gold
standard and placing of an embargo on
gold exports were dccreed for an in
definite period by the cabinet. The dis
count rate Of the Bank of Norway was
raised from S per cent to 8 per cent.
Agree on Joint Action.
At the same time the central banks
Of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Fin
land announced they had decided on
joint measures to maintain the parity
OF their respective currencies while the
suspension was in effect.
The two countries move was inter-
preted in financial circles as an act of
caution rather than of need, because
1t was felt that both were In compare
lively sound positions. The effect OF
the downward movement of the pound
on their currencies was said to have
made the step inevitable.
Sweden ended the first half Of the
fiscal year in July with a surplus OF
several million kroner, according to
figures from the ministry OF finance
and her trade balance showed exports
and. imports virtually unchanged. Nor
way showed a net deficit of 5000, OOC
kroner (about $1,000, 00O) for the same
period.

foreign policy, with which Marking was
seething. that course would be con-
tinued.
The Chinese government appealed to
the League of Nations shortly after
the occupation by Japanese troops last
week Of several cities in Southern
Manchuria. Japan announced that
the occupation had been necessitated
by attempts Of the Chinese military to
destroy a bridge of the Japanese
operated South Manchurian Railway
near Mukden and by threats against
the life and property of its nationals
elsewhere in Manchuria.
Denies Territorial Designs.
The Toxic government disclaimed
any territorial designs upon Man
churia and announced that occupa-
tional troops would be Withdrawn
when the situation permitted. Japan
took the position that the dispute was
one involving only the two countries
.sT:d suggested direct negotiations be-
tween Marking and Toxic for settle
Inent of the problem.
China pinned its hopes on League
intervention, which was denied.
DR.. Wang is 40 years old and a
graduate Of Yale University having
won membership in the Phi Beta
Kappa, the scholastic fraternity, after
receiving his bachelor of arts degree in
1910. He returned to China in 1911
and was appointed secretary of the
Chinese Y. M. G. A.
Wang assisted in the formation Of
the provisional government after the
revolution Of 1911 and was appointed
vice minister of commerce and indus
try in 1913 After serving in several
other positions he became foreign
minister In 1928.
China Answers Stimson-
The Nationalist government made
public tonight China's reply to the
note of Henry L. Stimson, American
Secretary of State, which urged China
and Japan to conflne military opera
tions in Manchuria to requirements Of
international law.
The Chinese note, after expressing
qualification for the United States note,
recapitulates the high spots Of the
Japanese occupation Of Southern Man
churia.
1t accuses Japan of trampling under
foot international agreements. The
Chinese government, it says, can con-
ceive of no other way to satisfy require
ments of international law and interna-
tional agreement than for Japan to
withdraw her troops Immediately and
completely from occupied areas and give
full redress.
The note concludes by expressing
hope that efforts heretofore made by
various powers, especially by the United
States, for preservation Of peace may
not be In vain.
