thing" for Bonus Marchers,
Says Chief.

Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford
superintendent of police, today reiterat-
ed his view that cit is up to Congress
to do something" for the members of
the Bonus Expeditionary Force encamp-
ed here.
These men were in the employ Of
the Federal Government during the
war" Gen. Glassford said, "and I am
fully convinced that the leaders are
prepared to keep between g. 900 and 1000
men here Until they get relief by pas
sage of the bonus bill or some other
relief measure
There has been a tremendous fall

every man raised his hand.
Scouts Political Program.
Waters today repudiated the ambitious
political program for the organization,
which was announced yesterday by the
Legislative Committee
In substance, the committee proposed
to formulate a platform which was to
be submitted to the Democratic party,
and. lacking action there, the veterans
were to be urged to support a possible
third party. The only plank that had
been definitely decided upon for this
platform called for repeal of the dry
law
Waters said the committee had acted
without authority. He proposes. he said
that no action toward the formation of
a third party be taken until after the
veterans have tested their strength in
the November election. In the mean
time, he said, it is his idea that the
veterans should support members of
both parties who are favorable to their
cause.
Waters is meeting with the committee
this afternoon seeking sanction for his
plan, which calls for Nation wide or
ganiZatlon of the B. E. F.
He is proposing that units be organ

Stimson Reported to Have
Called DebuChi'S Attention
to Confiscation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 20.-The question of
conflscation of the Chinese customs
revenues in Manchuria by Henry Pu-
yi's government has been called to the
attention CT japanese Ambassador
Debuchi at Washington by Secretary Of
State Stimson, it was learned from an
official quarter here today.
Secretary Stimson, this source said,
called the Ambassadors attention to
American consular reports from Man
churia describing efforts of the Pu-Yi
government to establish a customs
autonomy there and assume control Of
all Chinese customs Offices, including
that at Dairen, which is on Japanese
leased territory.
British Take Notice.
The British Ambassador. Sir Francis
Lindley. also visited the foreign Office
here and discussed the same situation
1t was understood the powers fear the
matter threatens the integrity of the
Chinese maritime customs, by which a
large portion Of China's foreign in
debtedness is secured -.
The foreign odfce here takes the
attitude that the Stuation does not
justify the powers in reproaching ia
pan in any way. Japan oisclaims all
responsibility in the matter and all in
tention Of interfering.
Japan. like America and Great Bri-
tain, is a creditor CT China, a gov
ernment spokesman said, and is in
terested that the service on its Chi
nese credits be secured on the customs.
But she is confident, he said, that the
Pu-Yi government, although claiming
customs autonomy would continue
somehow to pay Manchuria's share of
the debt services.
Crisis Reached.
The question reached a isis because
the Pu-Yi regime demanded that all
customs collected at Dairen be re-
mitted to Changchun instead Of to
Nanking. where they were paid in en-
tirety up to May 81. The Changchun
regime charged LIldL IllS ISluSdl VI LIle
Chinese government at Marking to ne
gotiate the question made the compro-
mise which Changchun offered impos-
sible.
Japan is especially interested In
Dairen because, in accordance with the
Sino-Japanese treaty Of 1907, the GUS
toms house there is located in Japanese
leased territory under Commissioner
Fukumoto who, although he Is Japa-
nese subject. is technically an employe
of the Chinese government.
The issue. the spokesman said. is en-
tirely between Changchun and Marking,
but he added that 1t placed in an awk-
ward position both Collector Fukumoto
and the Yokohama Specie Bank, in
which the Dairen customs receipts were
deposited
The Toxic government has no inten-
tion of interfering, he said, but it hoped
Fukumoto would act in a manner least
embarrassing to Japan.
