To Allocate Delegates.
Tke number of the delegates and
| their ALLEGATION to the States is to be
considered at a meeting tomorrow. 1t
is a matter which may provoke consid-
erable discussion, although there has
been worked out a plan which has met
the approval of some of the leaders,
providing for a total of 1852 delegates,
or an increase of 63 over the number
in 1923. and based on the new congress
sional apport!onment under the 1880
census. Committeeman from States
which lose representation are not par
tial to this plan.
Prohibition reared its head in the
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the National Committee yesterday
afternoon when Earle S. Kinsley of
Vermont told the committee that the
young people of his State and else
where were demanding a change and
would not be satisfied with a mere law
enforcement plank in the party plat
form.
Mrs Ruth Baker Pratt OF New York
addressed the committee today after
Senator Fess had concluded.
VroeS J-nifod Font
Mrs. Pratt strongly urged a united
front on the part of the Republicans
and warned the members of the Ma
tional Committee that they must be
active in support of the Republican
ticket from now on.
We are not mere spectators in the
great game of politics" said Mrs. Pratt.
We cannot sit on the sidelines and
watch the battle We must be active
We must show that we have an abiding
faith in Republican principles and that
these principles are not just topic for
oratory. I am proud to be Republican
and I am proud, too. of the leader of
our party, the President of the United
States"
Applause of the committee members
interrupted Mrs Pratt, who continued:
Some Of those who give grudgingly
now will look back in the future and
be amazed at their attitude and will
have only gratitude in their hearts for
what the President has done"
Mrs. Pratt said that criticism is heard
of the administration and that while
no one would resent constructive criti-
cism a mere partisan criticism was of
no use She said that the people have
the right to know what program the
Democrats have, if any. So far, she
said, the Democrats have advanced

TOXIC, December l5.-Tsuyoshi In
ukai declared yesterday in the first in
terview he has granted since becoming
premier that Japan does not covet one
inch of ground in Manchuria.
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang must
remove his army from the Chinchow
district. the premier said, and as soon
as he does Japan will e"acuate occu-
pied points outside the South Man
churia Railway zone and peace will be
restored to Manchuria"
i don't see any other way out of the
difficulty. Chang, himself, must realize
that"
Lunched With Emperor.
The premier received this correspond
ent in his official residence at the con-
cluSion of four-hour cabinet meeting.
Previously he had lunched with the
Emperor.
He had to convey his ideas through
an interpreter, but he made up for
this handicap by graphic gestures. At
one time during the interview be drew
with his finger an imaginary map Of
Manchuria and China ON the Jade
green plush cover of the table behind
which he sat.
At another time he set down tea
cup, which he called Asia, an ash tray
to represent America and a match
box to serve as Europe Waving a
hand at these symbols of the CONT
nents, he declared:
America is the most powerful Ma
ton on the face of the earth. No
country would be so foolish as to think
even for a moment of attempting war
against America in her isolated posi-
ton. You are too far away.

LOAN TO ALBANIA T|CHTENs |TALY's
 INFLUENCE, BALKANS

ROME, Sept. 28. (P)-Italy's lat est loan to Albania, totaling about $20, 100000 spread over 10 years, is another step in a steady march to- ward making the newest kingdom in Europe little more than a prov ince of its bigger transatlantic neighbor.
 In the six years since Italy made her first loan of $15,000,000, con- solidating Ahmed Fog, not then king, as premier, the big kingdom has brought the smaller one ever more into her own pattern.
 Italian newspapers are printing much to the effect that Italy's contribution was not made for material reasons; Italy searches for advantages from it in higher re- gions." But it can't be denied that Albania borders on JugoSlavia, Italy's potential enemy, and forms another link in the Balkan chain Italy is striving to forge. And her friendship with King Fog is highly important to her.
 Italian officers have organized the Albanian army and are still advisers to the Albanian general staff. Italian bankers have reform ed Albania's economic structure.
 Streets, bridges, ports, govern ment buildings, hospitals, schools testify to Italian influence. The imposing new port of Durazzo is about ready.
 One thousand small bridges and 50 big ones have been built by Italians over rivers flowing down from the Albanian alps. Two hun dred miles of modern roads are nearing completion.

PLEADS GUILTY ID KEEP 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
 OFF WITNESS STAND

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28. (P)- To save his eight-yearold daugh- ter from testifying on the witness stand, James Scott Jones plead guilty to a charge of first degree murder
 Jones, it was alleged, went to the home of his divorced wife, entered the room where she and her two daugters were sleeping and stab- bed and shot to death Mrs. Jones. The motive given was "unfounded jealousy"
 The eight-year-old daughter was to identify Jones voice on the wit ness stand. AS a result of his pleading guilty, Jones was sem fenced to life imprisonment, where as if he had gone through with a trial by jury he probably would have received sentence of death.
