MAY CALL CONFERENCE.
Japan Weighs Possibility OF Revision Of
Nine-PoWer Pact.

TOXIC, January 9 (p).-Japan may
attempt through conference to revise
the nine-power treaty, the instrument
invoked by Secretary of State Stimson
in his note to the Toxic government on
the Manchurian question.
An authoritative source declared to-
day the purpose Of such a conference
would be to obtain a more clear defini-
ton of the administrative integrity
guaranteed to China in the treaty.
Japan never ilterferred with China's
administrative power in Manchuria, as
Secretary Stimson infers," said the
newspaper Nichi Nichi. because
China's so4called administrative power
in Manchuria never existed.
"If any real power ever ruled Man
churia 1t was Marshal Chang Hsueh-
Liang. japan had no intention OF ruin
ing political power in Manchurla-it
was self-ruined."
government spokesman declared
that Japan should have made reserva-
tion about Manchuria when the nine
power treaty was signed, but neglected
to do so.
The japanese reply to the Stimson
note will be sent late next week, pos
siblv after Kenkichi Yoshizawa has ar
rived from Paris to take over the for
eign ministry The foreign office has
decided the note is formal communi-
cation necessitating an answer.
Officials declared that there was moth
ing startling in the Stimson note and
that it contained no threat of drastic
measures.

Possible Envoy to England.
BY the Associated Press
Several names became prominent last
night in widespread speculation on
whom President Hoover might select to
fill two vacancies in important am
bassadorial posts.
Ambassador Dawes has announced
his intention of resigning his post in
London and the resignation Of w.
Cameron Forbes as Ambassador to
Japan Is imminent.
Both positions require men of more
than ordinary wealth. The salaries are
S17,500 annually, but the personal ex-
penses involved in maintaining such a
post run as high as $4,000 TO s100, 900
annually.
Dwight Davis Mentioned.
Among those who have been men
toned for the London post are Dwight
F. Davis, who resigned today as governor
general of the Philippines and William
M. Butler of Massachusetts. Davis has
been mentioned frequently in the past
resignation. Davis has denied reports
that he might be selected. Butler Is
q former Senator and chairman OF the
Republican National Committee.
Gossip in congressional circles re-
peated the name of Senator Reed, Re-
publican, Pennsylvania, but the Sena-
tors friends said he had not been
asked about possibility of serving and
would not care to take the position.
Castle Is Possibility.
william r. Castle, jr., Undersecre-
tary of State and close friend OF the
Presidsntfi was mentioned in connection
with both positions. During the Lon
don Naval Conference he was sent 10
Tckio as special ambassador and served
there until after the parley.
Those who foresaw a possibility OF
his appointment to London mentioned
the fact that as Undersecretary OF State
he would be in a position to carry on
Dawes work at the Geneva Conference.
When Dawes resigns as Ambassador to
Great Britain, he will also relinquish his
position as chairman of the American
delegation to the conference.

Macdonald May Attend Reparations
Conference at Lausanne.

LONDON, January Cp).-Chancellor
Bruening's declaration that Germany
has reached the end of her rope SO far
as reperation payments are concerned
will come before the British cabinet
Monday. So far there has been no
indication as to what effect the German
stand will have on the British policy.
Last week, it was announced Sir John
Simon and Neville Chamberlain would
head the British delegation to the
reparations conference at Lausanne, but
today's developments, gave rise to q
belief Prime Minister Macdonald him.
self might go over to get the conference
under way.
Whatever happens, 1t is considered
the present position will make England's
role Of mediator between France and
Germany even more diff1cult than 1t
has been.
Because Of the French cabinet crisis,
precipitated by the death Of Andre
Maginot, minister of war, and the illness
of Aristide BRAND, the foreign minister,
the British government suggested today
that the Lausanne conference be post
poned from January 18, the tentative
date, to January 25.
There has been no word from Paris
regarding the suggestion, but Italy in
dicated It was acceptable.

WALL STREET STILL HOPEFUL.

Bankers Think Geneva Farley MAY
Solve Reparations Puzzle.
NEW YORK, January C4).-Lead-
Ing banking quarters remained opti-
mtstic today over an eventual settle
ment OF the reparations and war debt
problems.
recognized leader among the coun-
trys most powerful bankers said in
formally that it would be easy to attach
too much significance to the news from
Berlin that Chancellor Bruening had
informed the British Ambassador that
Germany will announce at Lausanne
that reparationS payments were at an
end.
There Is strong feeling in Wall
Streets leading banking circles that
reparationS and war debts may become
inextricably involved with disarmament,
and that real solution may come out
Of the Geneva Disarmament Confer
ence, which is scheduled to follow the
Lausanne meeting
''For Bargaining Purposes"
One leading banker was inclined to
regard the German statement regarding
the end Of reparations as primarily for
bargaining purposes, and felt that some
sort Of payments would eventually be
agreed upon by all parties.
He pointed to the prospect that If
reparations payments cease, former al
lies would cease payments on their war
debts to the United States, and added
THE loss Of this $3.50 900 900 would not
be any great hardship to this country
Naturally, we would like to have this
money, but it might be, if the matter
were SO settled that we had to forego
these payments, we would make many
which would be likely to be hastened by
settlement"
German Bonds React.
The German government bonds re-
acted in the stock exchange, on the
news from Berlin. Bankers recalled,
nevertheless, that not only the present
German government, but Adolph Hit
Ter, leader of the powerful National So
cialiSts, were committed to payment of
private debts, which include bonds held
by investors.
Private banking advices during the
week have stated that partial agree
ment between the British and the
French with the French veeoring
to the British view that private
debts have taken precedence over
reparations had been reached. The
agreement, however, is understood in
Wall Street to be far from complete, but
Is understood to contemplate the pay
ment of unconditional reparationS un-
der the Young plan, which might be
returned to Germany in the form OF
loans.

Declines to Follow u. S. in
Using 9-PoWer Pact in
Far East.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Great Britain refused yesterday to
follow the lead Of the United States
in invoking the nine-power treaty in
the Manchurian conflict.
The British foreign office announced
that there appeared to be no need for
sending note to Japan similar to the
one sent by Secretary Of State Stimson,
because the Japanese government has
given assurances of its intention OF
continuing the open door policy In
Manchuria. o
The Stimson note resulted in an
authoritative statement in Toxic that
Japan might try to revise the nine
power pact through the conference
method The purpose of the revision
would be to define the Administrative
integrity" guaranteed by the treaty to
China.
At the urgent command OF the
Emperor, the Japanese cabinet, which
had resigned en- bloc because of the
bombing attempt Friday on the
Emperor's life, decided to remain in
Office.
At Mukden, Kenkichi Yoshizawa,
bound for Toxic to take over the duties
of foreign minister, averred his gov
ernmeaE had no intention Of 'interfer-
ing with any American or other
foreign rights in Manchuria.

with the kidnapping and beating. He
said he was unable to produce four

Capt. Workman reported six different
occasions on which disturbances had

civilians had annoyed the wives OF
some Of his officers.
Service men and gangs of civilians
clashed in eight different places in the
city Immediately after the beating OF

200 men back to their barracks.
Officers went through many OF the

to their stations. A force of 100 Marines,
armed with rifles, was called out, but
order had been restored before they
reached the scenes of trouble.
$4,000 Reward Offered
The Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
finally offered reward OF $4,000 for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of Mrs. MaSSie'S attackers.
The night after the Ida incident all
police were called out for extra duty
to preserve order.
Official reports of the situation, which
then was described by naval officers as
serious, were made to Washington. De-
tails Of the reports were not made

Naval officers on December Is agreed
to produce the four men wanted by the
police for questioning and said they
would be available for examination
upon their return from sea. Subse-
