LEAGUE MAY INVITE U. S.
Consider Using Non-Members in Group
To Pass on Sino- japanese Crisis.

GENEVA, February % R.-The
League OF Nations was considering last
night the possibility. of inviting the
United States and Soviet Russia to join
In commission which would act on
findings of the League Assembly's spe-
c1al meeting called to consider the dis
pute between China and Japan on
March 3.
Argentina and Turkey also might be
invited to have a representative on
the commission, which would meet
after the conclusion of the Assembly
session
The body, known as the Assembly's
Sixth Commission or Political Commit
tee, will meet to formulate a definite
plan OF action or carry out suggestions
made at the extraordinary session
None Of the four nations named will
be invited to sit with the Assembly
when 1t meets to discuss the Far East
ern affair at the insistence of China.
League officials expressed the hope
that the United States would cooper
ate with the commission, despite what
is known to be an adverse American
attitude toward participation in the As
sembly's deliberations.
Representatives of the United States
already have attended two meetings OF
League commissions, one on the opium
traffic, the other on the 1-year arma-
ment building truce agreed upon last
Fall
League officials said the troubles be-
tween Japan and China were a world
problem, affecting every country, and
that therefore any discussion of 1t
ought to embrace all nations.

SALES TAX VOTE
IS DUE TOMORROW
House Ways and Means
Committee Agrees to Act
on $500, ,OOO,O 900 Plan.

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee today agreed to vote tomorrow
on the proposal to levy selected manu-
factures sales tax, to yield about $780,
10000 annually.
Secretary Mills had just outlined a
measure that could be administered
without undue difficulty.
Acting Chairman Crisp told the COM
mittee he hoped the vote would lead 70
quick drafting of the revenue measure
needed to meet a prospective $780,
100000 deficit in the Treasury in 1888.
Secretary Mills informed the commit
tee the Treasury favors making all the
tax increases in the proposed bill temp
orary Ito meet the present emergency"
Crisp also has advocated that policy.
Indications are that the committee
will adopt it as major part of the
bill.
Secretary Mills earlier in the day
promised the Treasury would make
every effort to carry out the tax pro-
gram decided upon by Congress. He
made this statement after comforting
with President Hoover on tax legisla-
ton.
Mills said the Treasury believed its
original taxation proposals were best
fitted for enabling the Government to
balance its budget, but that it would
cooperate in formulating a program
satisfactory to both parties.

j. 5. WORRY GROWS
IN SHANGHAI FIGHT
Fate of international Zone
Cause of Concern to
Washington.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The ultimate fate of the International
Settlement in Shanghai continues to be
the main cause of worry of the admin
istration.
The failure of the japanese Army to
win a quick victory over the Chinese
Armies has rendered the situation in
Shanghai more precarious than it was a
week ago.
The japanese high command had in
timated that the $4,000 men which they
possess at present in the Shanghai area,
togther with the powerful support of
the feet and their tremendous superior
ity in modern war material, such as
tanks and airplanes, would rout the
Chinese divisions within "a hours.
The Japanese have met with a seri-
Gus check due to the unexpected stub
born resistance of the Chinese. The
effect of the big guns from the battle
ships, of the artillery fire of the
Japanese gunners, and of the tanks
which were pouring fire on the Chinese
lines is almost negligible.
The japanese casualties have been
heavy and the japanese army, accord
ing to reports from Shanghai is COM
PEELED now to mark time until further
reinforcements arrive from Japan.
Chang Aids Tsai.
American European and Japanese OBJ
servers. also believed that Gen. Chang
Kai-Shek would not support the Can
tonese Gen. Tsai Ting-Kai on account
of the jealousies which exist between
the Canton and the Marking political
factions
This belief has not materialized and
it is known for certain in Washington
today that the 88th and the seth Divi-
sions which belong to the Marking COM
mander have taken IN active part in
the battle of the last two days, many
ing been evacuated through the Inter
national Settlement.
1t is a bare possibility, according to
military observers stationed in Shang-
hal, that the Chinese might try, while
the japanese are awaiting reinforce
ments, a counter offensive with the
hope of driving the Japanese into the
sea-
Whether this will be done or not and
whether the Chinese army has any
chance of succeeding in their attempt
is naturally a matter of pure specu-
lation.
But should the Chinese open an Of
fensive against the Japanese the already
precarious situation of the International
Settlement would become extremely
dangerous.
No Physical Boundary.
There is no physical boundary be-
tween the settlement ard the rest of

AMERICAN FLYER KILLED.
Bob Short Shot Down in Attack On
Six japanese Planes.

BY Cable TO The Star
SHANGHAI, February 23.-Bob Short,
an adventurous American aviator, who
signed up with the Chinese government
to fight japanese bombing planes at
81 900 a week, was the pilot of the
Chinese plane brought down Monday
afternoon by Japanese airmen over Soo-
chow, it was disclosed here tonight.
E. B. Haines, an agent for the United

plane as the Boeing single-seater COM
bat ship that he had sold to Short
last Thursday.
Shorts first and last fighting took

suit planes. he scared up alone and

premely confident with his swift Ameri-
can plane, Immediately attacked a
bomber on his climb, and returned to
hammer the tail Of a slower japanese
pursuit ship. He was operating a syn
chronized machine gun firing through
the propeller. His bullets killed one
japanese gunner and wounded another.
Apparently depending upon his
ability to outf1y the Japanese, Short
clung too long to the first pursuit plane,
giving the other two a chance to climb
over him. He was caught in pocket
and hammered from the rear by the

The Senate Naval Committee today
approved the Hale bill to authorize
building the Navy up to the limits fixed
by the London treaty.
The bill, sponsored by Chairman Hale,
was approved unanimously.
1t calls for building the Navy up
to the maximum allowed by the London
treaty, but does not carry any appro-
priations.
The cost of the program would de-
pend upon how many years it was
spread over.
Calls for $3.50 900 0OO
Hale estimated if it were completed
in 10 years, the cost would be $780,.
100000, but this includes ships now
under construction, modernization Of
ships and replacements
The chairman will ask for early con-
sideration in the Senate A similar
measure faces final disposition in the
House
In a speech last night, over the Ma
tional Radio Forum, arranged by The
Star and broadcast over a coast-to-
coast network of the National Broad
casting Co., Hale said there was a ne
ceSSity for building the Navy up to the
limits of the London treaty because Of
the hostilities between China and
Japan.
Important as the bill is, 1t is only
about two hundred words long
In the event of an international
agreement for further limitation, the
President would be authorized to SuS-
pend the program.
Republicans Back Bill.
Republican support of the Navy bill
was announced by Senator Watson,
majority leader.
Republican leadership will do all it
can to put the bill through" Watson
said, pointing out it would put this
| country in a better position to negotiate
at the Geneva Disarmament Confer
ence.
"It viii give our fellows over there
some chips to sit in the game" he said.
In view of Watson's statement, the
Hale bill was expected to be given the
pending legislation Is disposed Of
The Republican leader explained
that an authorization was far different
from an appropriation, but would show
that this country intends to go ahead
with its naval construction If necessary
Hale said later he believed the lead
ership of the Senate would agree to
early consideration of his bill.
TT unquestionably would put US in a
better position at Geneva" he said. 1T
would show we don't simply talk, but
that if other countries plan to build up
to the treaty strength we will also.
Without such a program we will be
in very pitiful position"
