RETAILERS FORM
FOR LAW CHANGE
Increase of Credit Sales to At
Per Cent Raises Bank
! ruptcy Problems.

Organization of a large group OF
Washington retailers in an effort to OBJ
tain passage by Congress of amend
ments to the existing bankruptcy laws
of the District has been announced by
r. Preston Shealey, washington coun-
sci for the National Retail Credit As
ISOLATION.
Nj Shealey, who appeared Monday
before the Senate Judiciary Committee
in connection with hearings on leglsla :
tion desired by the group, explained
that the retail men composing the
group are particularly interested in OBJ
tanning congressional action on the
Baldridge and Andersen bills. These
wouh amend the bankruptcy laws so
as sto bar the necesaries of life from
discharges in bankruptcy and to limit
voluntary bankruptcy to those owing a
minimum Of $500 in unsecured n6ebt-
edness.
The group of dealers which has been
created to foster congressional conSld-
Grafton for the two bills Mr.. Shealey
said. includes retail credit men, small
store owners, retail dry goods dealers,
retail grocers, retail meat dealers, den
fists, doctors, hospital officials, fuel
dealers and other retailers.
Mr.. Shealey explained that when the
present bankruptcy act was enacted, in
1893, less than 10 per cent OF the total
value of retail sales we're on credit,
while today approximately AZ per cent,
or from S25 900 900, 900 to $27. 900, ,000,-
600, of retail sales throughout the coun-
tryaare made on credit.
Tfiese conditions, he said, led re-
tailers in Nebraska and Minnesota in
1925 to advocate the tightening up of
discharge provisions in bankruptcy and
were responsible for the introduction
in Congress at that time of bills similar
to the Baldridge and Andersen bills. the
passage of which is now being sought.

CHINA CH|DES TOXIC
ON OBSERVATIONS
Legation Calls Japanese
Statement on Lytton Re-
port Zone Sided.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Chinese government, In a state
ment last night through Its legation
here, said the Japanese observation"
on the Lytton report must be regarded
''as a one-sided version Of the Japanese
story"
In point of fact" the Chinese state
ment continued, when the League COM
mission of inquiry was proceeding with
its investigations in Manchuria the
Japanese had already submitted such
statements to the commission. Tne
findings and conclusions reached by the
commission as embodied in the report
were, however, diametrically opposed to
those advanced by the japanese.
These findings and conclusions, ar
rived at as a result of Investigations
on the spot by the commission, indi-
cate unmistakably that the japanese
version of the case was nothing more
than a piece of apologetics and propa-
ganda. 1t was, therefore, discarded
completely by the commission.
Having been thus rejected by the
commission, the japanese now under
took to publish on their account the
so-called observations
That such literature Is void OF a
grain of value is evident. The Chinese
government and people will not consider
them with any degree Of seriousness.
The Chinese government will decide,
however, whether to make a rebuttal

tons Is available"

the San Salvador, but owing to limited
accommodations and reduced food sup
ply four more had to be left at Cocos.
Unable to communicate readily with
San Diego-bound steamers, the San

and the other powers may indulge in
diplomatic debates for days or for years,
but that will not change Japan's posi-
ton in relation to Manchuria, which
was fixed without the possibility OF
compromise, or Of meeting anybody half
way. or any other middle course.
This emphatic reiteration of Japan's
diplomatic ultimatum to the rest OF the
world came today from the Toxic for
eign Office.
Its spokesman voiced the japanese
governments position in the course OF
an oral elucidation of the 18,000-word
document Of observations" on the Lyt-
ton report. 1t was released here last
night, accompanied by a 7,000-word
summary, on the eve of the reports S
consideration today at Geneva before
the League Of Nations.
Col. Ishihara Belligerent.
At that the foreign Office is not as
belligerent as Col. Kanji Ishihara, one
of the Japanese military representa-
tives at Geneva, who in a speech in the
Swiss city, extensively reported in the
newspapers here, announced that japan
was ready to meet the whole world IL
either a military or economic contest.
IF the League of Nations asks us
for further facts and explanations. we
shall be only too glad to furnish this,
the representative of the GaimuSho, or
Japanese foreign Office, declared in re-
sponse to a question.

Does Japan offer the League any

THE only possible position we are

countered.
Possibly a middle course" another
suggested.
TT is very clear that Japan does not
even contemplate any neutral course,
declared the Gaimusho representative,

alton and are not taking outsiders in.
Whether the military action we took
was necessary or not. we will not allow

thing was settled in Manchuria."
rs that because Japan's recognition
of Manchukuo is an accomplished
fact?" Another correspondent inquired
Not at all because it is a fait &C
compI, but because of Japan's special
position in Manchuria," was the ex-
planation.
The spokesman added that the Jap.
anese claim as to their special position
in Manchuria did not imply similal
action in other parts of China, if occa'
sion arises, as Shanghai.
"Our position in Manchuria is in line

ing Panama and that Of Great Britain
regarding Egypt, but. as far as China Is
concerned. our position Is no different
from that of the other powers" he said.
No Monroe Doctrine"
NIs a Japanese Monroe Doctrine for
Asia advocated?" Came another ques-
ton in connection with the discussion.
Far from Japan's advocating Mon
roe Doctrine in the Far East, We have
expressed doubt as to the advisability
of the proposed international control OF
China" was the Gaimusho's position as
expressed by the Spokesman. I'VE have
no objection to letting China work out
its own destiny. If 1t can do so without
damage to foreign countries and foreign
interests"
Japan's observations" were the work
of many heads and even the Erudite
Gaimusho spokesman was stumpeo
when he was asked what was the Caro-
line case, which is one Of the many
parallels cited from the history OF other
countries to justify Japan's course In
Manchuria.
The combined historical smattering
of the assembled correspondents, includ-
! ing American, British, Russian, German
and Austrian journalists, produced
nothing conclusive in the way OF en-
| lightsnment on this point. The sen
| tence appears in the second chapter OF
Japan's Communication to Geneva:
THE sovereignty Of the United States
was not impaired by the Caroline case"

as having declared.
Explaining that he was second to none
in his knowledge of the subject of mill

with having continued to the effect

formidable to Japan from either mill
tary or economic standpoint.
I'VE, members of Japan'S delegation" 2"
Col. Ishihara was further quoted, must

The Toxic foreign ONCE explained
| today that while Matsuoka was the
spokesman of the Japanese delegation
at Geneva, officially he was ranked by
! both Naotake Sato. Ambassador to Bel

sador to France, the other two delegates
In addition to the entire nations

Japanese representatives assertion that
Japan has no desire to acquire more

He recalled a statement by the late

the effect that japan would not take

Manchuria, DR.. Koo said, Is still an

THE time has come now," he said,
"for prompt, effective action by the

mean more bloodshed and suffering to
