BOYCOTT CONSIDERED.
BRAND Sends New Note to Far East
Nations in Peace Effort.

GENEVA, November Z (P.-The
League of Nations Offices today pub
lished a note by Aristide BRAND as
president Of the Council to the Chinese
and japanese governments respecting
the Nonni Bridge incident.
Extension of these incidents toward
Northern Manchuria cannot but in
crease the anxiety of the Council, the
note said, and both governments were
reminded of the assurances they had
given to avoid aggravating the Man.
churian situation.
ITO fulfill these undertakings" NJ
BRAND wrote, "it now seems necessary
that the two governments issue tnstruc-
tons without delay to the officers COM
manding their forces in order to remove
all possibility of sanguinary engage
ments between their troops. Any fur
Their serious incidents may make it even
more difficult for the Council to pursue
its efforts for the maintenance OF
peace"
Boycott Considered.
Pressure of economic and diplomatic
boycotts against Japan by the rest OF
the world powers who are members OF
the League was under consideration TO-
day as a possible next move in the ef-
fort to settle the Sino-Japanese conflict
in Manchuria.
The legal section Of the League sec
retariat is engaged in study OF article
Is Of the League Covenant to deter
mine whether member nations can be
asked to recall their Ambassadors and
Ministers from Toxic If Japan continues
to reject arbitration measures when the
Council meets again November 16. :
The examination also was understood
to embrace the question of the practica-
bility of an economic boycott, but any
such action remains in the background
for the present.
Counts On United States Aid.
As the program stood today, another
effort will be made to induce Japan To
adopt a more conciliatory attitude to-
ward China and If that fails the
to recall their ENJOYS. This request
probably would also go to signatories
Of the Kellogg pact, which would in
clude the United States.
If Japan remained unbending still
the plans call for consideration OF ways
and means Of enforcing an economic
boycott.
The League is counting on the United
States to cooperate in these steps and
the whole course is predicated on the
condition that the Japanese Army con-
tinues its activities in Manchuria. Far
Eastern experts believe Japanese mod
crates are doing their best to curb the
power Of the military elements.
In the meantime, M. BRAND Is said
to be doing his best to convince M.
Koshizawa, Japanese Ambassador at
Paris, that Japan must return the salt
tax revenues China complains have
been seized in Manchuria and discon-
tinue the setting up Of puppet govern
ments there which has been reported
to international circles.

other heads of government.

Martin Holds Factors Of Safety in Plane
May Be Too Low.

BALTIMORE, November R-Un-
derestimation of the strength factors
Of the bombing plane which Edward G.
Richie was testing was advanced today
by Glenn L. Martin as a possible cause
Of the crash which took the pilots life
at Washington yesterday.
ct may well be doubted whether the
factors Of safety assumed necessary for
this type Of diving plane have been
high enough" said Mr.. Martin, head
OF the airplane company which built
the ship, on his return from Washing
ton, where he viewed the wreckage.
Had Passed Similar Tests.
The plane, in which Ritci1ie crashed
at Boiling Field while attempting q
2-nnile dive with a 1,000-pound dummy
bomb was the first Of this model to
be produced at the factory here. It
had been to Norfolk for a carrier test.
he said, and had completed previous
10,000-foot dives with 1,000-pound
bomb successfully. A similar dive car
ried it to destruction yesterday.
I'VE don't know yet what actually
happened" said Martin. 1.-THE new
diving bomb tactics never have been
successfully accomplished by any other
country in the world"
Bigger Safety Factor Needed.
This maneuver," he continued, sis
difficult one for the machine as wei
as the pilot. Safety factors well over
those assured to be necessary for such
a dive were built into these planes
and all strength members have been
broken under tests. -
ION the basis Of this the fact that,
two other diving bombers produced by
other manufacturers have blown apart
In the last 10 days would make it
not Illogical to conclude that perhaps
the safety factor assumed to be neces-
sary for such dive have not been
placed sufficiently high"
The pilots Of these other machines,
Mr.. Martin said, managed to get free
Of the planes and land safely in
parachutes.

would vote on tax legislation have said
an increase was inevitable.
Roughly, these divide into two groups
those who agree with Senator Reed of
Pennsylvania that sales tax would
balance the books, and those who think
the balancing should be done largely
through increased taxes on larger in
comes.
Statement Elaborated.
The controversy with the Navy
League had it's origin in his insistence
that the Navy Department reduce it's
1888 estimate of $401 100000 by SOL
100000, an insistence which did not fit
well with some within the department.
Mr.. Hoover also reiterated warnings,
in his statement late yesterday, against
pressure upon the coming Congress for
added appropriations.
He departed from custom by elaborat-
ing upon his prepared statement. It
was difficult to compare the last budget
with the forthcoming one, he said, be-
cause the former included funds for
emergency use to be spent over a con-
siderable period.
Apparently the President has won
where there were differences with de-
partments over reductions. After Sum-
mer conferences with departmental
heads, it was said, there was hope of
This figure has been doubled.
There were no details of the $780,
100000 mentioned in the Presidents
statement The War Department an
nounced Thursday it had reduced its
estimate by about $44,000000 and the
cut apparently has extended to all Fed
eral branches.
Text Of Statement.
The Presidents statement said:
1.-THE departmental budgets for the
fiscal year beginning next July have
proceeded far enough to enable me to
state that the appropriations which
will be proposed to the Congress will
show a reduction of at least $780,
100000 below that of original depart
mental requests.
Every department in the Govern
ment Is cooperating; every item has
been cut; every item postponed that
can be done without injury to the
fundamental purpose Of the depart
ments and the efficiency of the services.
LAS nearly half the expenditures of
the Government are for interest, sink
ing fund, veterans services and other
items which are irreducible, this cut
represents most earnest cooperation
ment in their endeavor to meet the
necessities Of the taxpayer and the
present economic situation.
Again I wish to refer to the many
sectional interests throughout the coun-
try who are asking us to increase
expenditures. Such action can only
embarrass the earnest efforts Of the
administration and the Congress to
maintain our governmental finance on
a sound basis.
MANY new plans of different Sec
lions. nleritorious in themselves, must
be deferred until the country can
afford to pay for them. Nothing will
contribute more to the return of pros
perity than to maintain the sound
fiscal position Of the Federal Govern
ment."
