CENSURE FOR
DONALD
Commons Vote Demanded for
FaiIune in Job Crisis as
MarCherS Near London

LONDON, Oct. % (I.N.S.).
A vote Of censure against the
government Of Prime Minister
j. Ramsay Mcdonald for its
failure to solve the unemploy-
ment problem was demanded
in the House of Commons to-
day by George Lansbury.
leader of the Laborite opposi-
ton.
While thousands of hunger
marchers were converging on
London for the mass meeting
scheduled for Thursday, Lans,
bury vigorously attacked the So
called means test, by which the
government hopes to reduce ma
terially the number of unem-
ployed receiving the dole.
Two thousand men and women,
comprising the humble and the
defiant, the physically strong and
the weak and weary, violent radi-
Gals and the ordinarily peaceful
all were nearing London as a
great mass united in demanding
government relief.
Women March in Rain
Perhaps the most pathetic
group of the entire army was a
little band of so women, of all
ages, who have marched all the
way from Scotland and are now
nearing London, hungry, with bills
tered feet, bedraggled. and drench-
ed by several days of the heaviest
rain the country has had in 10
years.
On the other extreme were the
strong leaders of several conting-
ents who openly affirmed the
charge they were "out for trou-
ble." Instead of beseeching aid,
they will demand it, and police
were most concerned with this
section of the army.
Seek to FOment Unrest
Fred Copeman, leader of the
Norfolk county section, told his
followers in the market place at
Baintree, in Essex county:
'T am a Communist and one
Of the sailors who participated
in the InvergOrdOn naval re-
volt. We are marching to fO-\
ment unrest and draw atten-
tiOn to the plight of the unem-
pIOyed, but we are not dOped by
Russian gold because we are de-
termined that those who have
got the money shall keep u.s."

He paused expectantly' tas Il
to say: e
"Not, bad, eh?"
Seeing detectives and reporters
grinning appreciatively. he went
on:

and 1 was a pretty successful

'If necessary, I'd have visit

wOmen's jewels, and when

berry, and 1 never carried q

Two Million Too Low
The detectives smiled. Three
years ago Barry shot his way out
of Auburn with amazing courage
and effrontery. But to look at
him you'd think butter wouldn' t
melt in his mouth.
He would not attempt to guess
how much, altogether, he has
stolen in his time, but resented
the figure being put so low as $2..
100000. He says he has lost con,
siderably in the stock market of
recent years, but he still has for,
tune enough mot to worry about

If he serves the IS years COM

he comes out. He said wryly:

He said philosophically:
"Why should 1 fight when
I'm caught? I'VE always been
treated pretty well by the pO-
lice, and / bear them no malice.
They do their job and I do
mine. Only they're on one side
Of the fence and I'm on the
other"
He is to face police grilling to-
day on his possible connection
with the Lindbergh kidnapping
and this disgusts him a little.
"NO Dirty Kidnaper"
He is a master thief, after all.
ne points out, not a dirty kid
naper. He has a fine professional
pride, and .-idnaping babies is
simply not DONE" He discussed
the kidnapping:

else, perhaps more than most,
because 1 personally owed a lot
to Lindbergh. Just at the time
of my arrest OH Long Island
after the LivermOre haul, he
made his famous flight and
took me off the front page"
A shadow of a smile went over
his face, and he said:
THAT was something to be
grateful for, wasn't it?"
He went on rather Scornfully:
Besides, from the time I es-
capped from Auburn three years
ago until the present day,
have complete aIibi for every
day and every minute"
Someone asked:
isn't that in itself rather Sus-
piciOuS?"
He shook his head.
No Small Stuff
They respect him, too, as q
crook who has been smart enough
to make a siZeable fortune out OF
crookery all the years that they
have been trying to catch him.
"Take care of your jewels,
chief"
One of the detectives thus
warned Chief of Police Edward
C. McRell, who was standing with
a hand on Barry'S shoulder, g
diamond ring winking on his lit
tie finger and a weighty amethyst
swinging on his watch chain.
Barry glanced around at the
jewelry and the chief punched
him lightly and laughed. The
chief roared:
"Why, he'd throw junk like
this out in the street. 1 once
warned him to keep away from
Newark, and he said there
wasn't anything in Newark he'd
take as a gift! He doesn't go
for small stuff"
Barry smiled back at the chief
and the other detectives self-con
sciously twirled their diamond
rings. But what Barry was en-

SELLING: NOTES
RULED ILLEGAL

Lending money at excessive
rates of interest under the guise
of note sales was declared illegal
in the District today when Police
Court Judge John P. Mcmahon
handed down a lengthy decision in
which he adjudged r. L. Some
and D. j. McGill, 1402 Rhode
Island Ave. N. W.. guilty OF vlo-
lating the small-loan laws.
Four witnesses against the two
men were produced by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Thomas F,
Cameron, who prosecuted the
case. They testified they obtained
loans from THE Columbia Fl.
nance Company" at various times,
giving deeds of trust on their auto
mobiles as security.
For a loan of $50, the witnesses
testified, they were required to
sign q note for $65, payable in
three monthly installmentS. One
man testified his car was seized
when he failed to meet note for
$125 which he had given for a
500 loan and he was required to
pay $148 plus garage rent before
he could regain possession Of his
car. other complainants also told
of seizure of their cars.

Foreigners Reported
Aid Chinese GunnerS
By DIXON HOSTE

SHANGHAI, Feb. 6, II p. m
U.N.S0. Heavy Shelling and
machine-gun fire was resumed by
Chinese and Japanese troops
along the Chapel front late to-
night after a day Of desultory
bombing and fighting which re.
suited in no appreciable gain for
either side.
Observers noticed Immediately
that the renewed Chinese artillery
fire was characterized by an &C
curacy almost totally lacking a
few days ago, lending strength to
reports that foreign gunnery ex-
perts had cen called into service
by the Chinese.
Unconfirmed rumorS said the
experts were former German
army officers. It also was re-
ported that a number Of foreign
airmen were in the employ Of
the Chinese.
japanese marines this evening
handed over to the International
Settlement 1T Chinese prisoners
captured in the Hongkew district
during the last few days. The
prisoners were detained pending
investigation of the charges
against them.
The Japanese authorities made
every effort to keep secret the
fact that large forces Of Japa.
neSe infantry had been landed
between Paoshan and Liuho,
north Of Shanghai. Telegraphic
communications with Liuho were
cut off.
Japanese. soldiers stationed in
the International Settlement were
supplied with consular police uni,
forms, tending to show the Jap
anese desire to keep secret the
presence of their army units.
A mixed brigade of 1900 men,
augmenting the forces already on
hand, is due. tomorrow.
During the forenoon virtually
a truce was in force in Chapel,
while the Chinese continued their
celebration of New Years Day.
There was only intermittent fir.
ing, though Japanese planes drop
ped q few bombs.
Meanwhile Chinese troops made
merry during the forenoon and a
Japanese officer, without a trace
of a smile, asserted that hostili
ties had been suspended to give
the Chinese time to celebrate the
New Year.

PROPOSAL
French Plan for International

GENEVA, Feb. 6 (I.N.S.).
Frances grandiose scheme for
an international army and
navy to preserve world peace
is doomed to overwhelming
defeat if it ever receives seri-
GUS consideration at all by
the Disarmament Conference
in session here.
This was disclosed in an over
night canvass made by Interna.
tional News Correspondents of the
54 delegations represented here.

Not a single one of the other
great powers will back the pro-
posals laid before the conference
yesterday by Andre Tardieu,
French minister of war.
The United States and Soviet
Russia. as nonmembers Of the
League, will have nothing to do

create an international army to
maintain the peace Of the world,
under control and direction of
the League Of Nations, was
laughed at in Washington today
Under no circumstances will the
United States consider becoming
party to any such arrangement
than half a dozen small powers
including possibly one or two Of
Frances Europeon allies, will give
their approval.
For more than two hours to,
day the conference listened to
speakers representing worldwide
organizations in behalf Of neace
and then adjourned its plenary
session until MonCay morning
when Sir John Simon, foreign
secretary, will present British
views on disarmament.
Jap Attack Censored
A speech in which Emil Wander
velde, former Premier of Belgium,
intended to denounce the Japan

the petitions committee and the
offending phrases stricken out.

the c. E. r., assisting the Japa-
nese troop movements all along
the line.
But even with this aid, the
Changchun-Harbin branch was
insufficient to carry the Japanese
troops. Caravans Of military
automobiles drove along icy roads
parallel to the railway line.
These, for the most part, carried
officers. The third class railway
coaches were jammed with SOL
diers, ponies, carts and ammu-
milton.
Nevertheless foreign consuls
here believe the occupation of
Harbip is a prelude to a prompt
Japanese drive in a northwesterly
direction toward Manchuli, on
the o-Manchurian frontier.
This would put Japan in control
Of all Manchuria and bring the
Japanese and the Russians face
to face on the Siberian frontier.
500 Wounded in Hospitals
Maj. Gen. Kokuro Amano, COM
manding the field forces in the
capture Of Harbin, told me, how
ever, that these reports were un-
true. He declared he had no
intention Of pursuing the fleeing
enemy, who as their last blow
tore up the tracks Of the Chinese
Eastern Railway leading from
Harbin to Tsitsihar. over which
the Japanese would move if they
advanced on Manchuli.
Japanese headquarters reported
tonight that several hundred
Chinese had been killed and sev.
eral hundred wounded by Japa-
nese bombing planes and arTil-
lery. Nearly 500 Chinese wound
ed are in Harbin hospitals.
The Japanese put their own
losses at eight killed and IL
wounded.

"Japan's basic mistake was NOV

forces" Mamoru Shigemitsu
japanese minister to China, said
today, explaining the compare
tive ineffectiveness of japanese
forces during the past several
days.
He said:
"Japan'S forces were COM
posed Of sailors who were un-
able to secure the fullest sue
cess from the means and
weapons at hand.
However, we used sailors
instead of marines or soldiers
as showing faith in our
promises that we did not in
tend territorial aggression. I'm

sniping at their rear by a GER
tain society connected with the
Chinese Nineteenth Route
army.
Likewise the Japanese
rOwdy elements got out of
hand; hence came the charges
of atrocities which I am deny
ing today. These elements were
arrested as soon as possible
and will be tried and punished.
