Chinese Position
Still In Doubt
Continued From Page II

sation of alleged anti-Japanese pro-
paganda in China.
The new position represented con-
siderable concession by Japan but
included the main provisions of the
five points outlined by Foreign
Minister Baron Shidehara.
The league council proposed to
adjourn today for three weeks and
expected Japan to complete evacua-
ton within that time.
Japan's agreement, representing
a considerable concession on her
part in order to establish a basis for
settlement in Manchuria, was re-
garded as victory for Foreign Min
lister Baron Shidehara. The min
lister has been in constant opposition
TO the "die-hard' military element,
which has favored aggression.
! Considerable feeling agains.
Great Britain was evidence in gov
ernment circles because of Lord
Readings stand at the league coun-
Gil The sentiment was intensified
by reports Of conversation in Peip
ing between Minister ShigemftSu of
Japan and Sir Miles Lampson, Brit
ish minister to China, in which Sir
Miles was said to have been de-
cidedly in favor Of the Chinese
stand.
Authorities felt on the contrary
that the United States mas shown
a sympathetic and intelligent un-
derstanding of Japan's position.
This view was contained in Tokio's
reply to the Washington note re-
garding the Kellogg pact, which vas
published today.
HARBIN, China, Oct. %. UP)-
China has received backing from
Soviet Russia, and loyal troops are
being equipped with arms to fight
revolutionary movements in Man
churia, according to a report re-
ceived here today.
The report said that Russian arms
have been supplied Chinese soldiers
in Heilungkiang who have remained
loyal to Gen. Chang Hsueh-Liang,
dictator of Manchuria. The arms,
it was said, were given with the
understanding that the soldiers were
to oppose the movement against
Gen, Chang begun in Tsitsihar by
Gen. Chang Hai-Peng.
A number Of Chinese generals al
ready have broken with Gen. Chang
as the result of his announced pol
icy of non-resistance to japanese
aggression. Numerous municipal
governments, including the capital
at Mukden, have been set up by
anti-Chang forces with the support
CT japanese.
Another report today from Chao-
tungshien said that 80 Chinese con-
victs in a prison there had killed
their guards and escaped, plumber

USINESS HIT BY STRIKE AT
 PIT, ALEXANDER
Fishermen Idle and Busi- ness at Standstill, Says
 Karl Hansen

The trollers' strike has complete ly tied up all business and indus try at Port Alexander, according to Karl Hansen, leading merchant of that community, who visited here yesterday. None of the boats are fishing and the fishermen are idle, he said.
 Prior to the strike, the trollers were bringing in good fares and from quantity standpoint the sea- son had been very satisfactory. Low prices kept average earnings down and led to the tie-up of the boats
 MT. Hansen applied for and was granted a special permit by the United States Forest Service for she site of the old cannery at Lit tle Port Walter. This plant was closed several years ago and dur ing the past winter, the watchman employed by the owning company was taken off. Much of the prop erty was being destroyed and dissi- pated.
 It is MT. Hansen's intention to put on a watchman to protect the property and, if he can make sat- isfactory arrangements with the owners, to salvage such portions as can be used or sold.

FRANCE RAISES
 TWO POINTS TO
 HOLIDAY PLANS
Both Issues Deal with Un- conditional Repara-

STATE DEPARTMENT
 IS MOST OPTIMISTIC
United States Will Not Ac. cept Any Compromise
 Endangering Plan

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.- Two points have been advanced by France which are need for clarifi- cation before the way will be open ed for arrangements for a mora torium, the State Department said.
 While optimistic, officials insisted the United States will accept no compromise endangering the prin- cipal of President Hoover's plan.
 The French agreed, in principal, to the war debt and separations plan.
 The two points of difference in- volved unconditional separations as those principally for actual war de- vastation
 France insisted that immediately the moratorium is ended, Ger many's post poned unconditional payments be made availabls for use by France.
 The United States held the money will be funded over several years.
 The second point is that France wants unconditional payments to continue to the Bank of Interna- tional Settlement, resulting in credits being parcelled out among the other needy European nations.
 The United States said if the Reichsbank wants all the credit it should have it.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Yester- days down turn in the stock mar ket carried into the first hour of trading today and further reces- sions of two to four points were numerous but the selling soon dried up and slow recovery was gen. erated by the bullish demonstra- tion.
 Bullishness was sustained by in- formstjon that Paris moratorium negotiations were postponed until tomorrow but the market was left without any stimulus from that quarter.
 The Interstate Commerce Com missions scheduled hearing on the proposed rate boost was a disap- poinment as many looked for early action. This held rails back.
 Steel, American Can and others recovered. Issues losing in the first rounds of trading also recovered.

BUD THURMAN BROWNS WHEN
 BOAT SWAMPS
Three Companions ReacF Shore After Accident
 Tn Gastineau Channel

EiWood (Bud) Thurman, 20 years )ld, was drowne in Gastineau Channel, opposite the Juneau Dairy ;arly this afternoon, when the TOW ,oat carrying him and three con- )anions swamped, precipitating al nto the water. In his excitement le failed to grasp a side of the ,verturned craft; he could not ;wim, and the rubber hip-boots he wore caused him to sink quickly be- leath the surface. His body has lot yet been recovered.
 The drowned man is survived by widow and a child Is months i'd. He was brother of Mrs. H iilligan. Until recently he work l at the Juneau Lumber Mills.
 The three young men in the boat with him at the time of the acci- lent were his cousin Earl Bland ,amuel Ritter and Edward Hedges
 Survivor Tells of Tragedy
 We had rowed in the skiff to he Douglas side early this morn ng," said Edward Hedges. "We ,tarted to return to the Juneau tide about l o'clock this afternoon The tide was on the ebb. We hao cached the middle of the channe when waves rocked the boat and il Tipped water. We yelled for help The boat soon swamped and ther turned over.
 T immediately worked to get the ,oat completely over so we could srasp its sides. I shouted tc Bland to help Ritter get hold or he boat and Bland did. I alsc shouted to Thurman to kick of lis boots. I reached for Thurman IS soon as I could. He was sinking just barely touched his hair. H. did not come up after going be- heath the surface the first time. He could not swim. Evidently his boots filled and weighed him down.
 Row Boat Puts Off
 "A man in a row boat left the shore in response to our shouts for help, but he could not reach us before Thurman drowned. When the row boat arrived on the scene 1 climbed into 1t and was dragging Ritter and Bland in when a MT Robinson in a gasoline power boat irew alongside. We all got into t and were taken ashore"
 Persons on shore near the Ju- neau Dairy heard the shouts of help and saw the distressed boat They telephoned to the Fire De- partment. It responded immedi- ately, taking the inhalator. There was nothing, however, members of 5he Fire Department could do in 5he circumstances.

Austrian Pride Delays

VATICAN CITY, Italy, June 30.- National pride and delicate points of international and ecclesiastical law are delaying concordat be- tween Austria and the Holy See.
 The Vatican hopes that the pact will end 80 years of intermittent difficulties between the Austrian state and the church.
 Austria, overwhelmingly Catholic has always tried to influence the church The old Austro-Hungarian emperors even claimed a right of veto in the election of the pope
 The Vatican has already signed concordats with those dismember- ed portions of the old empire in Poland, Rumania and Jugoslavia and a species of concordat with Czechosl0vakia. The prime difficult ty in negotiating treaty with what

LONDON, June 30.-PoSsibilities of trip to even greater heights than Prof. Piccard's balloon achiev- ed are being discussed here.
 Prof. A. M. Low, British scientist, said he had been approached by a man who wished him to design an apparatus that would carry it's passengers up 50 miles. or five times as high as Piccard's mark
 His idea consists of a man car- rying rocket, complete with oxy- gen equipment and with para chute enabling return to earth, !" said Professor Low.
 Theoretically the project is feas- ible. Certainly it shows the trend of human ambition.
 There is certain to be a revival of schemes for reaching Mars, the moon, or some other heavenly body.

remains of Austria is this:
 Such treaty would lay down the relations between church and state in the dioceses within Aus trian borders. Austria prefers not to do this, because by so doing she would recognize the boundaries which the allies forced upon her For this same reason Hungary has not concluded concordat with the Holy See.
 Another moot point is state rec ognition of the validity of religious marriage rites. Different sections of Austria have varying laws on this point, but the church hopes to ob- tain settlement similar to that with Italy where the government agreed that civil marriage was not necessary if church marriage was performed.
