were patrolling a road on the border of
the japanese railway town when Cham
berlain's automobile approached. They
ordered the car to halt. 1t was flying
an American flag, but Chinese, they
said, had been misusing the flag and
they were unable to take it at its face
value.
They asked Chamberlain to show his
papers and he offered his card and
passport "arrogantly," they said. The
civilian interpreter had some difficulty
recognizing the passport. When they
were satisfied with Chamberlain's tden-
tity they told him to pass on.
Chamberlain's Report.
Chamberlain, in his written report Of
the attack, said:
Il am at a loss to account for this
entirely unprovoked, brutal attack. Had
I resisted I believe I probably would
have been shot. 1t is emphasized that
my identity must have been realized
when the attack was made"
When his automobile was stopped, he
said the two men in uniform were
standing by with rifles, in a threaten
ing attitude. The civilian questioned
him persistently for five minutes, he
said, while the rifles continued to be
pointed by the other two.
Somewhat annoyed" he said, he
asked by what authority he was further
detained and the civilian sneered at him
when he asked his name. II then asked
him for his card" he said, which
seemed to incense each of them, for
they began addressing me in obviously
uncomplimentary language, presumably
japanese.
Covered by Rifles.
''The civilian then, without provoca-
ton, aimed blow at my head, which
partly lodged. One uniformed man
came closer in a menacing manner"
Chamberlain said he then re-entered
the automobile THE civilian, entering
the car, rained blows, continuing his
TRADE" he said. He was covered by the
rifles and gave up any notion of resist
ing, only protecting himself with his
arms.
The civilian repeated the attack at
least three times and then lone of the
uniformed men, through the open door
on the other side of the automobile,
me with the muzzle of his rifle
and struck me several times in the face.
The soldier withdrew while the civilian
struck one or two parting blows. Then,
with their rifles still leveled, I was told
I could proceed"

that If Federal Reserve discounting Of
the debentures were allowed, large
quantities of slow paper would find
their way into the system, greatly re-
ducing its lending power.
The bill, as revised by the committee,
provides that instead Of being eligible
for Federal Reserve rediscount the de-
bentures may be bought and sold by the
Federal Treasury.
One of the controversial subjects in
connection with the bill had been the
proposal that the Treasury issue $2,000,-
100000 bonds to finance the corpora
ton instead of subscribing S500,000 900
and having the corporation issue de-
bentureS for 81 ,500,0 100000 more.
This change was vigorously opposed
by Undersecretary Mills, and it was
learned the subcommittee decided not
to make it.
Questioned by Steagall.
Myer suggested to the House COM
mittee that if a permanent set-up were
desired, that the law creating the cor
poration could be amended later. He
felt the bill is a sound principle of
government in exceptional conditions. !"
Questioned by Chairman Steagall as
to whether the corporation would lend
money on assets Of failed banks, Myer
said that it would assist in reopening
closed banks, but that it was not in
tended to take care of losses of such
institutions.
Meyer explained that when the eco
nomic conditions became severe last
Fall he instructed the Federal Reserve
banks. to advance money as loans on
assets of closed banks, to be repaid
out of liquidated assets. AS much as
so per cent on the values Of the assets
had been loaned in some cases. he said,
so that depositors could receive some
money
StreSSing that the reconstruction cor
poration was a temporary proposition,
Meyer said that 1t was to have a life
of one year, with possible extension
to two to make loans over period
of three years.
He suggested that if Congress wanted
a permanent law to attack the prob
lem of failed banks, that another bill
be considered for that purpose.
Meanwhile, move to report the
House bill to increase Federal land bank
capitalization ahead of the ReconStruc-
ton Finance Corporation measure was
sidetracked in the Senate Banking
Committee.
The administration desire and that Of
Senate leaders for prompt action on the
mammoth corporation proposal resulted
in the decision to give that measure the
right of way, despite differences OF opin-
ion among committeeman.

POET DEFENDS GANDHI.
Says Mahatma Had No Chance of
Reaching Agreement.

CALCUTTA, January CP).-Com-
menting on the present conflict between
the government and the Nationalists,
Rabindranath Tagore, noted Indian
poet. said today:
"Gandhi was arrested without a
chance of coming to a mutual under
standing with the government. 1t only
shows that, of two partners in building
Indian history, the people of India can
be ignored, according to our rulers.
Despair itself should give us pro-
found calmness and strength, which
silently works it own fulhllment. The
lawlessness of cur lawmakers should
forcibly awaken us to an ultimate sal
vation in love, which owns no defeat in
the face Of power.
I'VE should never forget our respon-
sibility, but prove ourselves morally su
perior to those who are physically pow
erful."
