fate Of prohibition repeal legislation at
present rests, is for submission Of

dry States.
A check Of the members showed this
today, revealing also "a close division
of opinion over whether TO include some
clause to prevent return OF the saloon.
This foreshadowed conflict which may
block the plans Of Senate leaders FOR
prompt disposal Of the repeal problem.

ate has assigned the task Of studying
and reporting on the various repeal
resolutions now pending. Chairman

MOSCOW IS SILENT
ON JAPANESE PLEA
Toxic Proposes Peace Plan
After Troops Enter City
of ManchuIi.
BY the Associated Press.


TOXIC, December IA Japanese
proposal that Russia, Japan and Man.
chukuo act In "close cooperation" for
peace along the Soviet-Manchurian
border was disclosed by the foreign Of
fee today, together with the asser-
ton that the Moscow reaction was
noncommittal
This information was made public
few hours after Rengo (JapaneSe)
News Agency dispatches reported Japa-
nese troops had entered Manchuli, far
Northwestern Manchurian city near the
Soviet border.
Manchun has been the focal point
of military attention in Manchuria fol-
several weeks. 1t was there the ir-
regular Chinese general, Su Ping-Wen
and his allies set up headquarters and
def1edethe Japanese to come and get
them"
Chinese Chief Disarmed.
The Japanese responded with mill
tary expedition from Tsitihar that drove
wedge along the Chinese Eastern
Railway to Manchuh. Threatened by
the Japanese advance, Gen. Su fed to
Siberia. Latest reports said the Chinese
chief had been tnterned and disarmed
by the Soviet authorities.
The foreign Office said the japanese
charge d'affaires at Moscow, Eli Amoh,
in compliance with instructions from
Toxic, had proposed cooperation in the
Manchuli frontier district. This was
done "in view of the military situation
in the Barga area dar Northwest
Manchur1a)."
The Soviet foreign conmisar, M. K.
Karakhan, replied noncommitany. but
the foreign Office said japan was con-
f1dent Mosco wwould instruct Soviet
frontier authorities to "act in conson-
ance" with the proposal.
Meanwhile, confirmation Of the Rengo
dispatches came from Tsitsihar, head
quarters Of the Japanese military ad-
vance. Headquarters announced an in
fantry column, under Maj. Tokuichi
Mfyamoto, part OF the 14th Infantry
Brigade, had entered Manchuli.
This culminated a wcek-long drive
through the Khingan Mountains and
across the snow-filled, sub-zero Barga
plains. A few miles away the Red army
of the Soviets was engaged in disarmfng
and interning the Chinese irrcgulars
who fled before the advancing Japanese.
Thus far, it was noted, the first prox-
unity Of the Red and Japanese armies
had produced only "tacit cooperation
for the maintenance of order"
japan Praises Consul.
The japanese consul at Manchuli,
Seiichiro Yamazaki, won high praise
from the foreign Office for remaining at
his post despite personal danger.
Yamazaki and the japanese hostages
who had been held by Gen. Su Pint
Wen cheered the march Of the rescuing
soldiers through Manchuli's streets.
Thereafter other Japanese units Of
the 14th Infantry arrived. The climax
Of the drive came exactly 10 days after
Gen. Su had rebelled against Man.

ARMS TALKS'WAIT
!. GERMANYS REPLY
Discussions Go On Informally
/ Until Reich Can Act on
Future Policy.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 7.-Representa-
tives Of the five great powers engaged
In informal discussion Of disarmament
today considered the form OF Ger
rnany,s future collaboration in the
World Disarmament Conference and
the measures for arms limitation al
ready suggested.
The German delegation has for
ws-ded to Berlin the proposals ad-
vanced here, including the suggestions
of Norman Davis, the American repre-
sentative, and may receive q reply late
In the day.
Hopes to Save Plan.
The Davis proposals are essentially
an attempt to save what is possible out
Of President Hoover's plan for reduc-
ton of all arms by approximately one
third and to get the resulting arrange
ment into concrete form as soon as pos
sible.
Mr.. Davis has suggested method OF
procedure rather than detailed prof.
ect. for he contends that the situation
is still in state of flux and the Amer
lean delegation has no plan TO supstl-
tute for any other advanced.
The underlying idea of his proposals
Is to get an agreement into tangible
form for the solution of such problems
as the French demand for security and
the German demand for equality.
Thereafter his idea is to set up some
establishment, possibly. permanent
disarmament commission, to draft a
final disarmament treaty which would
last over q span of years. The pro-
visions to be incorporated in tenn
porary convention are now the subject
Of negotiation.
Seek Agreement Of Four.
Late today or tomorrow the Amer
leans hope that the five-power conver-
sations may be turned to discussion OF
concrete disarmament measures ac-
ceptable to the United States, France,
Great Britain and Italy-Germany be-
ing already subject to limitation under
the Versailles treaty.
Once these four have agreed, the
plan Is to recommend to the general
Disarmament Conference a definite Sc
ries OF limitation and reduction meas
ures 10 which the big powers would
pledge themselves. These would cover
effectives, gun calibers and war mate
rial. such as tanks. 1t is hoped also
that 1t may be possible to bring in o
Franco-Italia naval accord.

the taxes on brewers wort, on bank

Drop In Estimates.
The Secretary said that, while 1t had
been estimated last May that the in
come of the Government for the 1888
fiscal year would amount to s3,098,--
100000, revised estimates indicated
they would total 81 ,624, 900 900. He said

at S21, ,000, 900. decrease OF 1000 600.
Government receipts were estimated
for the 1884 fiscal year from all sources
at S2,949, 9,162,713 and expenditures at
$3,79o, ,425 200. For the present fiscal
year he estimated that receipts from
all sources would amount to S2,949,-
162,713 and expenditures to s3,97S, ,794,-
200.

be-" Mills told Congress, Government
expenditures must be drastically cut
when, owing to extraordinary circum-
stances, the Government finds that
within comparative short period its
revenues have been cut in half, with
little prospect Of substantial improve
ment In the near future.
Regarded Unwise.
'In a period of deep depression, with
the income of the people greatly re-
duced, with their buying power drasti-
cally curtailed, and with millions de-
prived OF their earning capacity 1t Is
not only unwise, but impossible, to bridge
the gap in the budget entirely by in
cad f1Ydfi0v Thprp iC other
course for the Government to follow but
the one to which individuals and busi-
ness enterprises are driven under sirni-
lar circumstances. that is, to endeavo1
to live within its income"
Mills recommended that when money
advanced to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation is repaid it be applied tc
reduction Of the public debt. Such ac-
ton would reduce by approximately
$1,000, ,000 600 the increase in the public
debt in recent years.
