limited Press STAT Corresnondent

TOXIC, Nov. 2i.-The Japanese
government today announced it
would accept tn League of Nations
proposal for an armistice in Man.
churia if it provides for a policy OF
"non-aggravation" of Japanese in
Chinese territory.
This represents more concilia-
tory attitude than shown in the
earlier fat rejection Of the armi-
stice plan.
Previously, it was learned, Sec
rotary of State Henry l.. Stimson
had warned Japan through the am
bassador at Washington, that occu-
patton of the Manchurian city Of
Tsitsihar was dangerous.
Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara
replied, through the ambassador,
that Japaneses occupation of Tsit-
sihar, which is within the Soviet
Russian sphere Of influence, was
necessary.
Two Statements Made
The new statement of Japanese
policy toward the league proposals
was the second within few hours.
The first statement said that Keki-
Chi YoShizawa, Japanese delegate,
at the league council meeting at
Paris, had been instructed to reject
the armistice plan, or any other
plan limiting activities of Japanese
troops in Manchuria.
The new statement said the pro-
posal for a commission of inquiry
to investigate conditions in China
and Manchuria was acceptable to
Japan only if it applies to all of
China. 1t also was understood that
the commission should not investi-
gate Japan's military activities and
should not supervise Chinese-Jap-
anese direct negotiations for set
Element of the Manchurian conflict.
1t was indicated that Japan still
would refuse any solution of the
conflict which would save the face"
of the Chinese national government
at Marking, feeling that Chang
Kai-Shek, head of the Chinese gov
eminent, must be overthrown.
Control Three Capitals
The second statement by the gov
eminent was a definite Softening Of
its earlier announcement.
The cabinet had commended that
the armistice would be tantamount

PARIS. Nov. 21.-The League of
Nations council opened its doors to
the world today in its effort to end
war in Manchuria.
AS the council convened in the
first public session during it's
current meeting, there still was con-
siderable doubt of the acceptance of
the proposed armistice lin principle"
and formation of a commission OF
inquiry, announced prematurely
Friday by the league secretariat.
There was some modification Of
the attitudes of China and Japan
toward the league plans this FORE
noon, however.
1t appeared today, after the over
night furry of excitement caused
by the secretariat's premature an
nouncement, that members of the
secretariat merely had been over
optimistic.
The announcement that China
and Japan had agreed to cease
fighting while a commission visited
Manchuria was due to miSinterpre-
tation of information received by
the council while Aristide BRAND
was comforting with Chinese and
Japanese delegates outside the
council session.
Acceptance of the armistice was
repudiated by the Toxic govern
ment, although it was indicated
later that the proposal would be
acceptable if China RETAINED from
"aggravating' japanese in China
and Manchuria.

MAYOR ASKS
END OF CITY
PARKING BAN
Council May Kill Section of
Ordinance Fought by
Business Men.

Battle of business men for re-
peal of the 7 to 9:15 a. m. down.
town parking ban today appeared
successful, with announcement by
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan that
the city council Monday night
would be asked to repeal the traffic
ordinance section providing for the
ban.
The ordinance change would not
affect the tow-in provision for cars
double parked, or those parked in
restricted areas, such as in front
of fire plugs, theater and hotel en-
frances and alleys, it was said.
The announcement was made fol-
lowing a conference of city officials
with the law firm of Geckler &
Boyce, representing Frank FiShback,
plaintiff, and other business men in
terested in a suit to restrain en-
forcement of the ban, now pending
in Hamilton circuit court, Mobiles
vile.
Give Council Time
Attorney William A. Boyce an
nounced the buGiness mems COM
mittee, headed by Henry Roberts
restaurant operator, today agreed tt
postpone hearing in the case, sci
for Monday, until city council has
had time to act. If its action is
satisfactory the suit will be dropped
he said.
Mayor Sullivan said decision to
ask repeal of the section came fol-
lowing conference Friday with
safety board members, the city
council traffic committee and Todd
Stops, secretary of the citizens
traffic committee, which sponsored
the present traffic code.
Previously, Sullivan said, he and
Charles R. Myers, safety board
president, had consulted with
various business men and had at
tended meeting of the Merchants
Association.
He said he found almost unan-
imous disapproval of the parking
ban, as harmful to business.
Bond Set at S25
At the request of Boyce, the city
agreed to set $25 as the bond neces-
sary for persons whose cars have
been impounded for double parking
and parking in restricted areas, to
obtain possession of their cars
pending a trial. The ordinance
now sets no definite amount for the
bond.
The early morning downtown
parking ban has been fought since
last spring by group of business
men who contended that it resulted
in both local and out-of-town mo-
florists fearing to park downtown to
make purchases, thus injuring bust
ness CT downtown firms.
Roberts committee was composed
of Joseph S. Shaffer, restaurant
chain manager; o. F. Hammer, In
diana Motorists Association preSi-
dent; E. S. Conner, association Sec
rotary, and Fishback, also a restau-
rant operator and county council
president.
