BROWN RENEWS
WARNING To
'MARCHERS'
City and Charities Can Supply
Neither Food Nor Shelter;
Child Parade Puzzles

The District government has
neither facilities nor funds to
care for the hunger marchers
who are threatening to descend
on the city next month.
Major Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent of police, said today
he ordered members of his COM
mand several days ago to make
survey of the city to determine
if there were any vacant build
ings under the control of the
local government in which the
marchers might be housed during
their stay here.
No Haven Available
Today the investigators reported
that there is not a single build
ing available. Major Brown said:
This report shows that the
District has no lodging which
it can offer these people.
'It is a certainty that there
are no funds with which to
lease buildings or to buy food.
1t would take a special act of
Congress to provide lodging and
food, as it is illegal for US to
incur a deficiency"
Major Brown also said that
police are still uncertain as to
the manner in which they will
deal with the marchers.
Police Puzzle Cited
He pointed out that, if they
enter the city in units, as a large
percentage of the bonus marchers
did, they will be violating the
District regulations against pa
rading as soon as they cross the
boundary line. He said:
"Of course, we could stop
them and demand q permit to
parade and, il they had no
such permit, we could disperse
and arrest them. However, such
procedure has its drawbacks
especially in dealing with large
groups or with several groups
entering the city from different
points at the same time"
Asked if he could say whether
this method would be pursued.
Major Brown replied that he
could not:
Charities Overtaxed
The police head said he had
interviewed heads of local mis-
sions and other charitable organ
lzationS, all of whom said their
facilities were already overtaxed
and they would be unable to care

are now aiding.

Her body was half covered with scald-

at Geneva. The conservative element
of the British government is consid-
cred to be fairly friendly to Japan,
while France always has been regarded
as one Of the friendliest powers. French
and Japanese diplomats have found
themselves aligned in many respects,
and the conclusion recently of a COM
mercial treaty between Japan and
French Indo- China after protracted ne
gotiation is felt to have strengthened
Franco-Japanese relations.
Expect Trouble from U. S.
The greatest opposition at Geneva is
looked for from the United States and
the smaller European nations, which
were loudest in their condemnation of
Japan at the last special session of the
League Assembly. The recent speech
Of Henry L. Stimson, American Secre-
tary Of State, which the japanese con-
sidered an attempt to marshal world
opinion against Japan in advance of
the League proceedings, is taken as
indicating that the United States is
going to make the most trouble for this
country
Actual war talk, however, seems to
revolve mostly about Soviet Russia
The concentration of large Soviet
forces along the Manchurian border
naturally is looked upon with uneesi-
ness by the japanese military authori-
ties, and, while the feeling is pretty
general that the Russians are not look
ing for a quarrel, there is always the
possibility Of border clash which
might lead to more serious trouble
The recent conclusion of a new fish,
cries agreement with the Soviet gov
ernment seems, however, to have
brought about momentary improvement
in Russo-Japanese relations.
There is yet another sector which is
attracting attention and in which
trouble may develop, and that is Jehol.
Increasing banditry throughout Man
churia in recent months is being at
tributed here to the machination of
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang, former
war lord of Manchuria. and the re-
mainder of his following along the
North China border, and continued
trouble may lead to campaign of ex-
termination which might carry the
japanese forces into new territory.

1t Is understood that the defense
minister argues that just as Mussolini's
FaSclst militia crowded the regular
army INTO second place in Italy, so there
is danger of Hitler's battalions sup
planting the German regulars.
But this is only one phase of the
problems facing the President. First of
all, he must decide whether to give
Chancellor Won Papen a decree of diSso-
luton to use in case events indicate
mat the new Reichstag is incapable of
functioning.
In the event he does this, the Presi-

Moreover. the President must make

the Reichstag.
