was instructed by the government Fri
day to inform the council that Japan
will do her best to complete with
drawal of troops from outside the

three weeks If China agrees to cease
alleged anti-Japanese agitation there.
It was emphasized here, however.
although Japan is conditionally pre-
pared to make q concession over the
question of withdrawal of troops In
Manchuria to within the railway zone,
it would be impossible to give defi-

be completed by November Is when

The progress Of the withdrawal. 1t
was pointed out, would necessarily be
dependent upon, Chinas willingness
and ability to maintain peace and

These instructions which 1t was

 She alleges she had been married to her husband for 26 years during which she took care of and raised six children.

WIFE DETAILS WORK DONE FOR HUSBAND
LABOR GOVT OF
 MAC DONALD MAY
 GIVE UP OFFICE
Resignation of the Labor Regime in England Is Considered One of the Possibilities
BY KEITH JONES

United Press Stan COrrcSpOndcnt)
 London, Feb 27.-(UP)-The resignation of Prime Minister Ram say MacDonaId's labor government was considered a possibility in some political quarters to-day after lib- eral amendment to the trades dis putes bill had taken most of the original flavor out of the measure.
 The bill, Intended to legalize gen. era1 strikes, in It's amended form de- fines as illegal "any strike or lock- out, the effect of which at any time by reason of it's extension or con- tinuance cndangers public health and safety by interfering with sup plies or the distribution of water, fuel, light, medical and sanitary ser- vices, or other necessities of life"
 Trade unionists were particularly bitter regarding the amendment and said that 1t vitiated the entire trades disputes bill. The fall of the labor cabinet appeared possible, If Mac Donald wished to secure the united support of the trades unionists and contest a general election on the basis of preserving the original trades disputes measure.
 Another possibility was that the
 
 promise to reintroduce 1t in the house of commons when the party obtains a clear majority.
 A move on the part of laborites not satisfied with the way Mac Donald and his colleagues conduct the party's affairs, and who have made plans for the formation of a new party" began to crystalline soon after the trades disputes meas ure was amended.
 Oliver Baldwin, laborite M. F., and son of the conservative leader and ex-Premier Stanley Baldwin. re- signed from the party and said that he would stand at the next election as an Independent candidate. Bald win has been associated with Sir Oswald Mosley and other laborites in their demands for a change in party management and the creation of a limited dictatorship to help the coun- try out of its present financial and industrial difficulties.

SOVIET UNION TO
 TRY FOURTEEN
 MORE ACCUSED
They Are Called Plotters Against the Government and Were Backed By France and Germany
By EUGENE LYONS United Press Stan COrrcsDondcnt

Moscod, Feb 27- (UP)- The Soviet Union prepared today for the trial of fourteen men who had at- tained high positions in the economic workings of the government, iS- dicted on charges of planning tn- tervention and sabotage.
 The accused are members of the Menshei:at minority. The state al- legged that their backing came from France and Germany.
 The proceedings will start Sunday and were expected to be similar to the recent trial of eight prominent engineers and professors who were sentenced to prison for alleged in- terventionist plots. As in the pre- vious trial. the 14 men involved in the new process confessed and plead guilty. Their trial may be even more significant than that of Prof Leonid RamZin ard his comrades, for 1t will involve for correct application of Marxist dictrines to the problems of Communist government and may be the final round in the battle be- tween Mcnshevik (minority) and Boishevik factions in the present Russian social democracy.
 Nicholas Krylenko, state prose- cutor who was the popular hero of the recent interventionist trial, will again handle the Soviet Unions case. The trial will be held in the hall of the nobles, where powerful arc lights beat down upon Prof Ramzin aud his distinguished co-defendants and microphones carried their confess sions by radio to million of Soviets.
 The charges against the IA Mensheviyts specifically mentioned that ina
 botage through which the country would be ready for foreign inter- vention and had intcrferred with the distribution of supplies to working class centers and the entire five year plan of national economy prepared
