BANKING MEASURE
Senate Expected to Reach
Vote Soon on Bill for
Credit Expansion.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Oratory, all of it friendly, kept the
credit expansion bill still before the
Senate today. awaiting only a vote to
move on to final enactment.
Not a single word of opposition has
entered the seven or eight hours OF de-
bate on this measure. which is expected
to restore confidence in banking circles
and pour out fresh credit streams from
the Federal Reserve system. An end
to the speechmaking was expected dur
ing the day.
Much Good Accomplished.
Without having had chance to be-
come law, however. the bill and other
credit aids appeared already to have
done inestimable good The revived
security markets have drawn the first
increase in loans to brokers and dealers
shown in a Federal Reserve Board re-
port since last September. The figure
went up s13,oOo,ooo At the same time
boarding decreased, reflected in
s17,OOO,OOO drop in the excessive total
Of money in circulation.
The anti-hoarding drive continued in
full swing. concentrating upon plans
for an issue of Government bonds IN
small denominations to be sold much as
the wartime Liberty bond were passed
out to the public. through local drives
rather than the usual banking channelS
which absorb Treasury paper.
Friendly Words Included.
The continuing debate in the Senate
kept harping on the timidity Of bankers,
but. unlike the first day, the Senators
talked about it, financial men were given
some friendly words and a defense
against charges of boarding money and
securities. Several pleas were made to
have the credit relaxation made per-
manent, but the sponsors of the bill
stuck fast to the strict one-year limi-
tation, preserving the bill as one for
present emergency purposes.

Only if Japanese Go
Equal Distance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NANKING, China, February 19.-
Wang Ching-Wei, the Chinese premier,
said tonight that the National govern
ment had rejected the Japanese de-
mand that the army at Shanghai re-
tire to point 12l2 miles from the city.
The army will withdraw, he said
only on condition that the japanese
also retire an equal distance. The pre-
mier said these instructions already
had been sent to the Chinese author
tiles at Shanghai
Wang Ching -Wei's reply was Ave
point proposition.
First he said, the proposal for with
drawal of both Chinese and Japanese
was acceptable, but the withdrawal Of
the Chinese only was demand which
the National government found it i'm
possible to accept.
Refuses to Raze Forts.
Second, he promised that anti
Japanese activities be dealt with &C
cording to the law, pointing out that
freedom Of speech and the press was
guaranteed by law and could not be in
terfered with. If anti-Japanese activ-
tiles got beyond the limits of the law,
he said. such activities would be duly
dealt with by the authorities.
Third. he insisted that any proposal
for dismantling of the national de-
fenses was unacceptable. He was re-
ferring to the Japanese demand that
the forts at Paoshan and Woosung be
razed.
Fourth, in the ordinary course of
events, the Chinese government did not
station troops in the Shanghai area, he
said adding that when normal condl-
tions were restored. the area would con-
tinue to be patroled by Chinese police.
Fifth, the demand that Japanese air
planes should watch the withdrawal Of
the Chinese was declared unacceptable.
Wang said investigators of such with
drawal. if it were absolutely necessary,
must be third-party neutraE, and not
japanese.
Appeal to League Planned.
A foreign Office spokesman said late
today that the National government
had instructed Ambassador w. w. Yen
at Geneva to invoke article Is Of the
League covenant at the coming special
session of the League Assembly.

japanese advance, not only at Shang-
hal, but throughout the country.
Chain of Trenches Visible.
The government officials said net
works of trenches were visible along the
Lunghai and Tientsin-Pukow Railways
for hundreds of miles" on their train
trip through Kiangsu Province. This
indicated, they said, a determination to
prepare for any emergency.

feel that only a tremendous national
catastrophe, such as a war against a
foreign foe, would unite China's op-
posing factions and bring internal
