Link Hoover Up
 With Lincoln
Continued from Page 1.)

This. elaborate organization of party dinners marks an effort by | the republicans to capitalize this notable anniversary, just as the ] democrats have built a party feast | day on the memory of Andrew Jackson.
 Republicans go into this presi- | dential campaign with their prob lem, serious as it is, reduced to simplest terms. They take Presi- i dent HoOver's renomination for granted. They are free to concen- trate on his reelection. Democrats with four or five men of unQues- 1 toned presidential capacity being advanced for the nomination, have q difficult and delicate job of de- ciding on their candidate before they can concentrate on the ultim- ate task of defeating President
 Hoover. This situation. rapidly growing more bitter because of the iHcipient feud between supporters
 Of Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt and Alfred l.. Smith, is the chief source of satisfaction for the
 republicans.
 They apparently have escaped a
 pre-convention fight. One after an-
 other the men who offered possi- bilities of real opposition have taken themselves out of the situa-
 ton; first Coolidge, then Dawes.
 Senator Hiram Johnson, republi- can, Calf, also shows no enthusi- asm about being pushed into the fight.
 This leaves MT Hoover with just two opponents for the nomination former Senator Joseph l. France of Maryland, who has filed in
 North Dakota, and Illinois, and Rep Louis McFadden of Penhsyl- vInia, for whom petitions are be- ing circulated there.
 The republican worry is over business and prohibition. If condi- tons improve, republican chances improve. This is said without m-
 putting any motives whatever in the administrations gigantic re- construction program which is sup
 ported by democrats as well as by republicans and is as non-partisan n
 and non-political as the prosecu-
 ton of the war was in 1917-18. AS to prohibition, influential re-
 rublicans in the cabinet and in the party, more than is generally realized, see that the issue cannot be kissed off this year with a sim
 rle law enforcement plank. Be- lief is growing that the conven- tion may take this issue for a thorough discussion, and possibly
 place MT Hoover on different platform from the one on which
 Ee stood in 1923.

China Again Protests

Geneva, Feb 12-(UP)-China has asked the League of Nations council to invoke 8 general assem- bI yof the league to consider the far eastern crisis, the Chinese dele gation announced to-day. This possibly is a move preliminary to a. request for a world economic boycott on Japan.
 The deadline for China's legal privilege to convoke the assembly expired to-day at 10 a. m. That is IA daysy from the hour the appeal for invocation of Article IS of the league covenant against Japan as deposited with the league secre-- tariat.
 delegation, told the United Press that If the council did not call an . extraordinary assembly, China will make a direct formal request for : convacation. : The council will consider China's apepal to-day.
 If a special assembly is called, it will meet within a few days as many of the assembly delegates are in Geneva for the world dis armament conference.
 Chief Chinese delegate Dr W. W. Yen said after a. conference with Sir Eric Drummond. secretary general of the league:
 "For the present l have agreed with Sir Eric to demand that the league council shall convene a meeting of the assembly under Article XIV of the covenant to deal with the Sino-Japanese dispute.'.
 The 54 member states of the league are entitled 10 represents ton at league assem- plies. The present council is composed of 14 members, and was reduced to F when China and Japan were ex- cluded during consideration of the dispute between them.
 Parties of the dispute would not be entitled to vote at the assem- ply, but could present their cases as China and Japan did at public council sessions.

Washington Is
 Very Anxious
(Continued from Page 1.)
State department officials wou

!. State department officials would not say whether the bombing would be protested officially to Tokio.
 Reports have reached here that Japan is sending l5 more troop laden transports to Shanghai, thus increasing the chances of a major battle near the foreign settlement. Estimates on the size of the new force have varied widely-between 5000 men and two war-strength divisions, or about 44,00O men.
 A fight on grand scale, begin ming in the native quarter of the international sediment, might spread over into the foreign city, endangering the 5000 American civilians and 100000 worth of property there.
 The baffling element in the Shanghai situation is that officials see nothing they can do at present 10 alleviate 1t. Consultation among the powers is still progressing. Ac- cording to one officials spokesman it has now reached the point where there is almost complete agree ment as to cooperation in any ac- ton that may be necessary to pro- tect' foreigners.
