state Japan,s sending troops into
the country from time to time, the
Japanese spokesman said.
If the world is going to become
historical every time Japan takes
military action In China proper" he
added, ut is time some permanent
remedy were evolved"
The plan suggested yesterday, he
said, did not mean the partition Of
China. as some Washington quarters
were reported to have interpreted it.
He denied it meant interference with
China's administrative integrity, since
Chinese administrative organs, he
said. would function inside the de-
militarized areas.
If China Is permitted to continue
to drift" he said, "a partition IS
much more likely than II the powers
step in with positive measures"

q Pilots Discharged
BY Century Air Lines

Chicago. Feb. e.-(PeThe 23 pilots
on the Century Air Lines were dis
charged Tuesday and the plane
schedule was interrupted at least
temporarily as the result Of q wage
dispute.
The pilots had baked at q salary
reduction which they said amounted
to almost 50 per cent and had made
unsuccessful attempts to negotiate
with the Century management. The
reduction was to have gone into ef-
feet Feb. !. but an "armistice" was de-
clared for 10 days.
No agreement had been reached
Tuesday, however. and pilots who
went to work In Chicago found the
hangar locked and were handed let
ters notifying them their ''resisna-
tons" were accepted.
The old salaries Of the Century
pilots ranged from $3.50 to $375 ac-
cording to length Of service. The new
schedule guarantees $50 as the
monthly minimum and gives them IS
an hour for day and IS IN hour for
night flying.

Both Plans For Disarmament
and Peace Differ From
French Suggestion
U. S. PLAN IS APPlAUDED
Germany Pledges Self to Dis
armament But Makes No
Recommendations
Copyright 1882, BY The Associated
Press)

Geneva, Feb. 0.-Ambassador Hugh
s. Gibson, acting chief of the U. 8.
delegation to the world disarmament
conference, and Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening Of Germany presented to
the conference Tuesday the American
and German proposals for Limitation
Of ornaments, both Of which differed
at many essential points from the
proposal of France, presented last
week by Andre Tardieu. French for
eign minister.
The American proposal presented
by Gibson. warmly applauded as he
assembled the rostrum, contained nine
points.
These included prolongation Of the
Washington and London naval agree
ments, further reduction of naval
armament, abolition Of submarines
and promotion Of land disarmament
by restricting tanks and mobile guns,
discard Of lethal gases and prevention
of meteorological warfare, protection
of civil populations against aerial
bombing, limiting defensive forces to
those necessary to maintain internal
order plus some contingent for de-
Tense. and budgetary limitation Of
expenditures for war supplies when
their direct limitation has been Sc
cured.
AS he returned to his seat he was
besieged by members Of other dele
cations who shook his hand and ex-
pressed appreciation Of hts declara-
ton.
!, Bruening's statement pledged Ger
many. with all emphasis" to the ad-
vocacy Of general disarmament 'of
an unmistakable nature, such as the
League of Nations covenant envisag-
ed" but set out no formal program ex-
cept to ask that the ornaments Of all
nations be reduced to the same low
relative status as Germany. He said
he would present formal program
later.
Referring to the proposal present.
ed by NJ. Tardieu for France last
week, he said:
Lets do away with the efforts, by
this or that Interpretation Of the
rules, to secure for ourselves the pos
sibility of military expansion Of pow
er and to take it away from others.
That isn't the right way. That's the
way to make the conference fail and
to present the unhappy condition Of
an armed peace resting on unequal
rights"
Bruening introduced q new language
into the conference. speaking Ger
man. which had to be translated into
both French and English.
Gibson said nothing Of extending
the present ornaments truce and he
made no reference to the sino-Jap-
anese hoetilities.

Believe 1t or not, but Bismarck Is
being blamed by at least one news

for being too courteous" to the little
group Of Jamestown persons who are

And we will vote to retain the

eligible to Play With Uni
versity cagers

Grand Forks, N. D.. Feb 9-F-
University Of North Dakota's chances
Of defeating the Bison In its North
Central Conference game at Fargo
Friday evening were greatly reduced
Tuesday with the announcement that
Ben Jacobson, forward from Bis
marck, was ineligible to play.
This news came along with q state
ment that Webster, first line reserve
forward, was out Of the Agg;e contest
this weekend.
Whether or not Jacobson Is out for
the remainder Of the season has not
been determined. The Bismarck ath-
lete has not made his required num-
Der Of credits. but it Is understood he
has petitioned for q special examina-
ton, which has yet to be passed on.
In the meantime Director G. A. West
states the forward will be off the
team.
West said technically we could
use jacobson against the Aggies. We
received notice Of his ineligibility to-
day and the conference rules give q
coach q week after formal notice In
which to check up the situation. We
know the forward is lacking in SUI
ficient credit hours, however, and
consequently will not play him."
Webster, who has been Ill for two
weeks with tonsilitis, Is up and about
again, but Coach Glen Letich says
there is no chance for him to get
into condition. He Is weak from the
attack and will be unable TO do any
work for another week.
The Job Of playing the two for
ward positions falls to Mullen and
Felber. Mullen returned to the squad
Monday after brief illness that kept
him out Of the South Dakota games
last week. As reserves for these
positions Letich viii have to depend
on Ray ellison and Glen secord.

Colonel Frank Knox, Chicago, nation
al leader Of the anti-hoarding or
ganization, revealed existence Of the

could be done about 1t until 1t was
"copper-riveted and complete"
Knox Is planning q rapid campaign
through countrywide organized units
to drive home the idea that leach
community must get behind ITSELF"
I'VE must convince each individual
that for his own selfish interest he
must have confidence In his own in
stitutions and that the effect Of with
drawing money from them results in
economic strangulation." was the way
he put the objective.
Chicago will be headquarters for
the drive. Heads Of the national Or
ganization recently called In by Presi-
dent Hoover will serve as q central
advisory group.
Knox estimated ali but 7is per cent
OF American industry's production
was marketed In this country. and
said this fraction could be tossed out
Of the window" and still, with conf
dence restored, the nation could lead
the world back to prosperity.
