Police were notified, and g

Italian ambassadors with re-
spect to the situation at
Shanghai, international News
Service was authoritatively
informed tonight. A.
Memoranda presented sepa-
rateIy by the diplomatic ENJOYS
of the four great powers asked
Japan to cease using the Inter
national settlement at Shanghai
as a basis for military operations.
Formal Reply Due
Japan, in a reply to be de-
livered tomorrow or Sunday, will
state that Japan is protecting
the settlement from Chinese
troops in the same manner as are
troops of other powers.
The Powers asked japan to
move her warships down the
Whangpoo River away from
Shanghai to remove the peril to
foreign citizens during Chinese
bombardments Of these vessels.
Japan will reply that this Is
out of the question, since to do
so would induce the Chinese to
believe the Japanese were evacu.
ating their positions and would
strengthen their morale.
The envoys' called in a body
upon Kenkichi Yoshizawa, foreign
minister. Their visit was said TO
have been entirely unexpected.
The open letter addressed by
Henry L. Stimson, American Sec
retary of State, to Senator Borah
on the Sino-Japanese question
continues to receive great atten'
ton in the Tokyo press.
A war office spokesman, for in
stance, declared that If the
United States decided to violate

fortifying Guam and establishing
a strong naval base in the Philip

policy would create in the Pacific.

what he thought Of Jahncke's
statement that President Hoover

and had made the Democrats
"dizzy" with a batch Of recon-
mendationS, Garner replied:
"The President, instead Of ask
ing Congress as he did in his
message last week to authorize
appointment of four additional
assistant secretaries, had better
keep those he now has at home,
where they can attend to their
official duties.

preciate this and so do the
other commissioners"
Mr.. Balls bond, executed Janu-
ary this year, is for $500, 900,
