DEFIES LEAGUE

Tells World Substitute for
Her Policy Will Not
Be Tolerated.
LYTT0N REPORT FLAYED
Cites u. S. Interpretation of
Pact to Prove it Is
Not Guilty.
United Press

By United Press
GENEVA, Nov. 21.-Citing the
American, British and French in
terpretations of the Kellogg pact to
prove that Japan was not guilty of
treaty violation in Manchuria, Yu-
soke MatSuoka, Japanese delegate,
told the League of Nations today
that Japan can not consider any
substitute for the present govern
ment in the Manchurian state Of
Manchukuo.
Matsuoka's voice rose nearly to a
shout when he read the United
States Senate's ratification of the
kellogg pact recognizing that the
right of self-protection may be ex-
tended beyond the borders of a
country.
No Such Consideration
The Japanese delegate spoke for
fifty minutes. Drh Wellington Koo,
chief Chinese delegate, looked at
The ceiling, as though day dream
ing. Matsuioka spoke slowly, in
perfect English. Most of the dele
gates read copies of his speech.
The council adjourned after Mat
suoka's speech, to convene again at
p. m. to hear Dr. Koo.
Matsuoka said fatty that the
mere consideration of a solution
other than the maintenance of the
Manchukuo government possibly
might lay the whole far eastern
question open to serious disorders
We can enter no such consid-
Grafton"
Cites Mexican Affair
The japanese delegate claimed
Japan acted in self-defense in
Manchuria and referred to the
precedent set by American expedi-
tons into Mexico in 1916 and 1917
when Mexico was unable to protect
United States interests.
Matsuoka asked the council to
look at Japan's record in foreign
intercourse IN contrast with
China's. I'VE ask the council for
little patience" he said IF the
western world will bestow upon us
only. a fraction Of the tolerance
they so generously bestowed on
China, it will be gratefully re-
ceived."
I'VE want war with no nation.
We want no more territory. We
are not aggressorS. We desire deep
ly and earnestly the welfare of our
great neighbors," Matsuoka said.
Lord Lytton, head of the COM
mission that investigated the Man
churian situation and whose report
was fatty rejected by che Japanese,
Redeemed several times when Mat
suoka fatty challenged the findings
of the commission.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Japans
reply to the Lytton report on the
Sino-Japanese conflict given out by
the Japanese embassy here today.
stole the spotlight, momentarily at
least, from the war debt nullabaloo,
and left oficialdom gasping.
Blandly claiming Self-defense as
Justification for their war" against
China, the Japanese government,
with equal bluntness, warns that
1T can not allow either the neces-
sity or the appropriateness" of what
was done ito be the subject of dis
cussion"
In effect, therefore, Toxic pre-
sents the League of Nations, the
United States and other signatories
of the Kellogg pact and nine-power
treaty with fat accompli and de-
f1es any or all of them to alter it
if they can.
Says Show Is Over
Japan declares the show Is over
in the region of Manchukuo, and
that nothing remains for the league
and the other powers to do about
it except extend recognition Any
other course, she says, would tend
to destroy the peace and order Of
that part of the world.
Japan brushes aside all charges
that she violated either the cove
nant of the League of Nations, the
Kellogg pact outlawing war or the
nine-power treaty safeguarding the
territorial and administrative integ-
rity of China.
There was no violation Of the
Kellog pact, she AYERS, because she
was acting in self-defense. Kellogg
himself declared that every ma
ton is alone competent to decide
whether circumstances require re-
course to war" Furthermore both
Britain and France specifically adj
hered to the Kellogg theses.
Says China in Chaos
China, Japan holds, is not now
government. but a vast, disjointed
territory filled with chaos, Com
munism and civil war between rival
war lords.
While as for Manchuria, she al
ways has been more or less indie
pendent, any way, and the presence
Of japanese troops merely gave to
her people the chance they have
long sought to free themselves in
reality.
The Lytton report. in whole and
in part, is unacceptable to the Toxic
government-particularly its princi-
pal recommendations that Man
churia be returned to China and
that a semi-autonomous govern
ment, under Chinese suzerainty, be
set up there.

diets President Will Sign
Proposed Bill.
CONFIDENT OF ACTION

fled in Short Session,
Is Claim.

BY Times Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. "A con-
fldent prediction that President
Hoover would sign beer bill when
passed by congress was made by
Representative Fred A. Britten
(Rep., Ill. after a conference with
the chief executive today.
Britten made his prediction after
Representative Dyer (Mo), ranking
Republican on the house judiciary
committee, said he was confident"
his committee would report prompt
ly on prohibition repeal resolution.
Representative John Milligan
(Mo.) assistant Democratic house
whip, expressed confidence the
short session would modify the
Volstead act to permit manufacture
and sale of beer. He warned against
"a prohibitive or excessive tax On
beer.
Mandate of the ePopIe
Britten said that in view of the
mandate of the people who voted
wet in many states at the recent
election that he believed beer bill
would pass the house in the first
week of the coming session.
He also was confident that the
senate would take favorable ac-
ton, and that in view of this una
nimity in congress and the Repub-
lican prohibition plank in it's plat
form, the President would not veto
such legislation.
Britten said he intended to call a
meeting of wet Republicans in the
house between now and the open
in gof congress, Dec. 5.
Public Is Safeguarded
Il believe that we will be able to
get a beer bill through the house
before Dec. TO-" Britten said on leav-
ing the White House.
Britten said that the Britten bill
for modification, carryin ga 4-cent
tax on pint of 2.75 per cent beer
included all the safeguards prom
ised in the Republican platform.
He emphasized that it would not
permit the return of the saloon and
that beer would have to be con-
sumed away from the premises
where purchased except in certain
cases such as clubs, beer gardens
and restaurants.
The Chicago representative said
that under his bill beer could be sold
for 10 cents pint retail.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Bertram Ar
mold, 16-year-old model student
whose teachers considered him ex-
ceedingly bright, diligent and ODE
dent, returned to Chicago wearing
handouts today to face charges nt
numbering his grandmother, and
throwing her body into an aban-
doned cistern.
Like a bewildered child, young
Arnold stumbled into the coroner
office today to undergo another or
deal of the many that face him be-
cause he beat to death his STEP
grandmother, Mrs. Ellen o. SAKE
with a hammer.
He retold the story of how he
asked the kindly woman he calico
grandma" for the use of her auto
mobile, how she refused and Their
slapped him when he retorted i'm
pudently and how he then beat hel
on the head until She was dead.
Listening were Coroner Frank j
Walsh, Deputy Coroner Abe Mar
COILS, several police officers and ;
jury composed of four alienists-
Harry Hoffman, Francis Gerty, H
Douglas Singer and James whitney
Hall.
Cook county authorities who
went to Mount Carroll, ILL.,, after
Arnold and brought him back today
to Riverside, Chicago suburb, said
the youth confessed to killing Mrs
SAKE.
Complex for Showing OFF"
Harry Ditchburne, assistant state
attorney, and other authorities who
questioned relatives and friends of
young Arnold, Sunday, while the boy
still was a fugitive, said Bert ap-
peared to be a pathological case. "
He had a complex" they said,
for showing off" before other
youths and girls of his age, and,
despite his brilliancy, could become
momentarily dangerous if refused
some privilege which would deny
him an opportunity to impress as
sociates.
Young Arnold was arrested Sun
day night in restaurant at Stock
ton, ILL.,, small town 100 miles west
of here near the Mississippi river.
He was peeling potatoes to earn a
meal.
Trace Trail of Blood
The youth had been suspected
since shortly after his grand
mothers" body was found in the
ciStern, Friday. His father, C. B.
Arnold, wealthy manufacturer, at
tended theater with his wife,
Bert's stepmother, that night.
Returning home, they discovered
signs of a struggle, called police,
and traced a trail of blood from a
couch in the living room, through
the kitchen and to the cistern. Mrs.
Saxes body, the face crushed was
floating in eight feet of water.
A short time later, Arnold dis
covered that his son was missing,
then that Mrs Saxe's automobile
had disappeared. He believed his
son had been kidnapped by the kill
ers of his mother in-law.
Friends of Bert's told police that
the youth attended a dance Friday
night, apparently after Mrs. SAKE
was killed.
At the time of the Staying, Bert's
half-sister and half-brother, Cor
don and Ellen Arnold, 7 and 9 years
old, were asleep in the house.

CzECHS ASK
u. S. FOR WAR
DEBT RELIEF
Request for Revision Made
as Roosevelt Starts
for Washington.
GOVERNOR KEEPS SILENT
May Act as Observer Only
at Conference, Friends
Assert.
BY HENRY F. MISSELWITZ
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. = A
fourth European nation appealed to
the United States for war debt re-
lief today as President Herbert
Hoover completed arrangements to
meet President Elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt Tuesday in the quiet of
a White House study for a discus
sion of the whole field OF foreign
financial obligations.
The request for debt revision was
presented by Minister Ferdinand
Veverka of Czecho- Slovakia, who
asked postponement of his coun-
try's $1,5O0,0O0 payment, due Dec. Is.
Meanwhile, it was stated in a
high official quarter that plans for
American participation in the world
economic conference probably would
be discussed by Mr.. Hoover and
Governor Roosevelt along with the
debt problems.
Joins Other Nations
Czecho-S lovakia joined Great Bri-
tain, France and Belgium in urg-
ing the United States to reconsider
the European war debts.
The Czecho- Slovakia debt totals
SOL ,879, 671.O 3. This represents cash
loans by the United States of $751;
74,O41.10, and war and relief sup
plies worth $29,9O5, 629.93.
Czecho- Slovakia was the first ELL
ropean nation to fund it's debt to
the United States. 1t did this in
1928, soon after the world war debt
funding commission was created. 1t
contracted to pay an average inter
est rate of 3.3 per cent, as high as
the rate given any other nation.
The administration source which
suggested the probability of the
economic conference arising at the
White House discussions, did not,
however, connect it with the debt
issue.
StimsOn Prepares Data
In accepting the League of Ma
tons invitation to the conference,
the state department specified that
war debts and tariff rates should
not be discussed there:
This represents the view of the
Hoover administration, but it is lot
known whether the Democrats, into
whose administration the confer
ence would extend, share a similar
view.
Henry L. Stimson, secretary of
state, it was learned today, has been
working for several days preparing
data on war debts and ether ques-
tons for the White House confer
ence Tuesday He does not, how
ever, expect to attend it.
Stimson met the press today, but
declared at the outset of the con-
ference that he would not answer
any questions regarding war debts
or Japan's reply to the Lytton COM
missions report on Manchuria.
