LATEST PROTEST
STRONG In TONE
Impression Prevails
America Will Stay
Out of Fight.
BY THEODORE C. WALLEN.

Suspense in Washington last
night was greater than at any
time since the World War, with
the entire American ASiatic Fleet
in readiness to evacuate or pro-
tect Americans in China and
President Hoover and his admin
iStration awaiting japanese re-
sponSe to protests filed yesterday
by both the United States and
Great Britain against japanese
military occupation of Shanghai.
An overnight turn for the worse
in the great Chinese city and its
international Settlement, with
native forces rising to repel the
Japenese invaders and mob vio-
lence spreading, brought a call to
the Navy Department for the i'm
mediate dispatch of two destroy
erS to points on the Yangtze River
in addition to the four destroyerS
already ordered from Manila to
the trouble zone.
Forty-eight other vessels OF the
Asiatic Fleet are prepared to par
ticipate in the protection OF
Americans in line with orders
from Admiral William v. Pratt,
chief of naval operations, to
send Everything from Manila to
China" if necessary to meet the
danger of mob rule"
Whole Port Held Menaced.
The Anglo-American protest, it was
announced by the State Department,
went forward late Friday presumably
after President HooVer's conference
with Henry l. Stimson, Secretary OF
State. and was based on the ground
that Japan's armed invasion of the
Chapel district menaced the whole port
of Shanghai including the 1nterna-
tional Settlement, and was made with
out warning after the japanese had de-
clared themselves satisfied with Chlnese
response to their ultimatum.
The United States thus went con-
siderably beyond its action of Wednes-
day in urging Japan not to interfere In
the foreign settlement of Shanghai,
an action in which the British govern
ment Joined subsequently. There was
nothing to indicate that either the
Italian or French governments had
acted on the Anglo-American sugges-
ton that they Join in these representa-
tions to the japanese, but there was
another assurance today from the
japanese Ambassador, KatSuji Debuchi
that Japan would "scrupulously'' re-
spect the integrity of the international
Settlement.

went through the motions today OF
eleCting Augustin P. JuSto President,
and Julio A Roca vice president for

tial candidates, none of whom got &
majority of the votes last November.
Thus a conservative administration

though Col. JuSto is a member of the
Anti-Personalist Radical party, and Roca
is a member of the National DEM
ocratic.
President -elect Justo is resting at

SENATORS OPPOSE
BOYCOTT TO FORCE
PEACE IN FAR EAST
Action Might Easily Become
First Step Toward War,
Declares Borah.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Strong opposition to the employment
of an economic boycott at this time by
the United States against Japan. in an
effort to force a peaceful settlement Of
the Sino-Japanese conflicts in Man
churia and Shanghai, was expressed by
leading members of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee yesterday.
While the opinions expressed on
Capitol Hill showed no sympathy with
the course pursued up to date by Japan
in the Shanghai and Manchurian dis
tricts, there was an evident determine
ton on the part of the Senator's to keep
the United States clear of war, If war
develops in the Far East. At the same
time there was strong sentiment in
favor of the protection Of all American
citizens.
Senator Borah, chairman of the COM
mittee let it be known that he had re-
ceived kilograms from peace advo-
Gates" and supporters of the League Of
Nations, urging an economic boycott OF
Japan.

"ThOse who are urging an economic
boycott on the part of the Americans y
said Senator Borah, seem to look upon
it as a peace movement. 1t would, in
my opinion. be movement of a wholly
different kind. An economic boycott
is in the nature of threat and might
easily be the first step toward war; 1t
is the employment of force, and often
the most cruel and inhuman kind.
Regardless of what one may think OF
Japan'S course and the deplorable situa-
ton in Shanghai, a boycott should not
be urged by our people"
Senator BOrah said that the resolu-
ton recently introduced by Senator
Dill OF Washington, Democrat, propos-
ing an embargo against the shipment
of arms and munitions to China and
Japan, would come before the COM
mittee for consideration Wednesday.

Commission Is Asked to Give
Public Notice on Plans
for Reorganization.
MOVES TO HEAR DAWSON
AND DONOVAN DEFEATED
D. c. Spokesman Kept Off Floor in
Fiery Session Until Vote.
Committee Study Ordered.

The Federation of Citizens ASsocia-
tions, at a special meeting in the Dis
trict Building last night, took the Dis
trict Commissioners to task for under
taking a reorganization of the Engineer
Department without affording the pub
lie any notice of their intentions. The
federation referred the reorganization
to its Law and Legislative Committee
for further study and report.
The reorganization, announced Fri
day, abolished four small jobs and
created four larger ones, one of them
filled by bringing in an engineer from
New York State at Sc, 500 a year.
The meeting developed into fight
as soon as the gavel fell. Acting Engi-
neer Commissioner Donald A Dawson,
accompanied by District Auditor Daniel
j. Donovan, were present to explain
the action taken by the Commissioners,
but did not get a chance to speak until
after the resolution. brought in by
Henry l. Quinn, had been discussed for
two and a half hours and adopted.
President George c. Havenner led
the fight against the resolution. He
made numerous efforts to get the
federation to hear the two District off,
cials before taking any action but was
blocked at every turn.
Prior Notice Requested.
The resolution. as adopted, reads:
BE it resolved, That it is the sense
of this federation that the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia shall
acquaint the citizens of the District,
and particularly this federation, with
any and all serious changes in the
existing order of things which the Com
miSSioners propose adopting or recon-
mending to Congress for its adoption
and give seaSonable public notice in
advance of any such serious changes
being actually adopted or put into
effect Be it further
