FREE STATE PLAN SCORED.
Chinese Say Manchuria- Mongolia Ar
rangement Is Not Desired.


SHANGHAI, January 16 CP). - Ad-
vices from Mukden that plans are
rapidly progressing there for the es-
tablishment of an independent state
of Manchuria and Mongolia were re-
ceived with surprise in Chinese polltl-
cal circles here. The Chinese here
claim that the Chinese citizens OF
Manchuria and Mongolia do not want
any such independent status from
China proper. IF such plans are be-
ing formulated" it was stated here,
They are the product of the Japa-
neSe who are working increasingly to
ALLEVIATE those areas from China"
The reports from Mukden outlined
the alleged new proposed government
as follows
The territory of the new state will
include all of Manchuria and Eastern
Mongolia All the peoples in those
areas will enjoy equal rights as citi-
zens, the sovereignty of the state lying
with them. A president, who would be
the states chief executive officer, would
be elected in accordance with the peo-
pies will, although for the present the
chairmen Of the three Manchurian
provinces would appoint a president.
Under the president would be ad-
ministrative, judicial and inspection de-
partments and under the administrative
department would be military foreign
affairs, civil, industrial and educational
divisions. Natural resources and COM
munications would be under the direct
control of the president, the Japanese
reports said.
Although the likelihood of such a
government being established is not
considered great here, japanese reports
saw the northeastern leaders will meet
at Mukden soon and they expect to in
augurate q president early next month.

FLETCHER SLATED
FOR DAWES POST
Grew and Caffery Expected
to Figure in Early Dip
IomatiC Shifts.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The names of Henry B. Fletcher, Jo-
seph c. Grew and Jefferson Caffery are
mentioned in connection with the i'm
portsnt changes in the personnel of the
American diplomatic service. Three en-
bassies are going to have new chiefs
within the next few weeks.
The London post is already vacant by
the resignation Of Ambassador Charles
G. Dawes. The Appointment OF sue
cessor Is considered matter of urgency
in view Of the important problems which
are coming up in Europe at present.
Henry B. Fletcher is considered in
usually well informed quarters as the
most likely successor to Gen. Dawes.
Mr.. Fletcher has already he. sue
cessfully the position OF Ambassador to
Mexico and, in the opinion of leading
members of tn State Department, IS
the best fitted person to succeed Gen.
Dawes.
Grew Due for Forbes Place.
Ambassador Joseph Grew is likelv to
succeed Cameron Forbes early this
Spring. AS the Manchurian affairs
have become less active as far as i'm
mediate diplomatic negotiations are
concerned Mr.. Forbes feels that he now
can request President Hoover to allow
him to return to this country. The
Toxic embassy is very important and
requires the careful handling of a Ca
reer" man.
Grew has been Ambassador to Turkey
since 1927 and has filled that important
post brilliantly. His place as Ambas-
Sador to Turkey is likely to be filled by
Jefferson Caffery. at present Minister to
Colombia. Caffery belongs to the
younger generation of career" diplo-
mats.
He has held positions as secretary of
embassy or legation in practically every
country where America has diplomatic
representation.
Paris Post to Be Vacant.
His promotion as Ambassador would
be welcomed by all members of the
American diplomatic service because he
would be the third man who has risen
from the ranks" to the highest post
in the service.
The post of American Ambassador to
Paris is likely to be vacant in the course
OF this Summer, possibly earlier Am
basSador Walter Edge is reported to in
tend returning to the United States be-
fore long. The post in Paris will un-
doubtedly go to some political man out
side the diplomatic service
Phipps Recommended
Meanwhile, it was learned that former
Senator Lawrence c. Phipps of Colorado
has been strongly recommended to
President Hoover for appointment as
successor to Gen. Dawes.
Senator Oddie of Nevada. one of
those who is urging the appointment,
said the former Colorado Senator La
"splendidly qualified" for the position.
Phipps at peess2t is in Colorado.
Senator od8e explained he had
written a lettc|b the President recon-
mending the appointment. He said
other western Republican Senators also
were indorsing PhippS.

HARDIN, Manchuria, January 16.-
Japan proceeded today with what ap.
peared to be her new policy of knitting
North Manchuria into q hegemony
through Chinese agencies, in contrast
with the direct action methods used ir
Fengtien Province, especially at Chin
chow.
American, japanese and most Chinese
authorities expressed the opinion that
Gen. Nah Chan-Shan, erstwhile hero OF
the Monnie River TsitSihar campaign
will head a new army which is being
raised, under Chinese auspices, in the
Province of Heilung- -Kiang.
The campaign of Provisional Gov. HSi
HSia of Kirin Province, which has re-
suited in fighting with other Chinese
forces for several days around PinhSier
and which aroused the anxiety of Soviet
Russia concerning its interests in the
Chinese Eastern Railway zone, Is re-
garded here as typical of the apparent
new japanese policy.
Hoilung- Kiang Negotiations Begun.
Negotiations on an even larger scale
are under way in Heilung-Kiang Prov
ince where Chang Chung-Hiu was in
stalled as head of an autonomous gov
eminent last week at TsitSihar. Imme-
diately afterward he returned to Harbin
where he is now carrying on the duties
of Governor of Heilung- -Kiang and the
Harbin special district as well.
Johannes G. Vos, an American mis-
sionary at Tsitsihar, stated in letter
received here that the installation cere-
monies there were held in streets empty
except for lines of new Chinese troops
recently recruited for service in that
area and between rows of which the
new Governor entered the city. These
troops, Mr.. Vos said, are intended to be
the nucleus of the new army Gen. Ma is
slated to command.
Significance is being placed on the
fact that Gen. Ma visited Harbin for
the first time since the Tsitsihar cam
paign at midnight on the night before
Chang Chung-Hui started for Tsitsihar
to be installed. The two conferred for
a long time and authorities here said
they believed bargain had been struck
for control of Heilung- -Kiang Province
under the aegis of Japan.
Chang Chung-Hui has been marked
as Japan's man since he was permitted
to return to his post at Harbin after
he was arrested during the original
Japanese occupation of Mukden last
September and it was noted recently
that many Japanese advisers are joining
his encourage.

paper Petit PariSien said today the
French and British viewpoints on
repsrations continue to be so wide apart
that interested French circles believe it
would be best to postpone the Lausanne
conference until the Hoover moratorium

interval in an effort to reach q basis
for agreement.
The time is so short now until the

Differences in Bills.
Another Steagall amendment ap-
proved makes the obligations Of the
corporation lawful investments in or
der that they may be accepted for all
flduciary trust and public funds.
An outline of the legislation and the
important differences between the
House and Senate bills follow:
1t sets up a corporation with capi-
tai stock of S500,0O0,000 to be subscrib-
ed by the United States and appro
priated for by Congress out of the Ma
tional Treasury. 1t is authorized to

Each director is to receive a salary Of
$4,000 annually, with no employe re-
ceiving more.
The directors and employees are pro-
hibited from participating in any mat
ter OF personal interest to them.
The corporation is set up for 10
years.
The House bill empowers the corpo-
ration to make loans to any bank, saw
lngs bank, trust company, building and
loan association, insurance company,
intermediate credit corporation and
any agricultural or farmers associa-
ton incorporated under the laws of any
state, and on the assets of any closed
oank or bank in the process of liqui-
datlon
The Senate bill excluded intermediate
credit banks
Extensions Limited
All loans must be adequately secured
and cannot exceed three years, with
| extensions limited to two additional
years. Loans to railroads must have
the approval of the Interstate Com
merce commission. Loans cannot ex-
ceed 10 per cent of the authorized
capital stock of any corporation.

advances on foreign securities or &C
ceptances, while the Senate put a $780,
600 600 limit on them.
Bonds issued by the corporation in
the House bill are exempt from all
taxes except surtaxes, estate, inherit
ance and gift taxes, but the Senate
measure does not except surtaxes.
Alter one year of making loans the
corporation may liquidate its assets
and wind up its affairs, and if the
liquidation is not completed within 10
years the DUTY will be turned over to
tne secretary OF the Treasury.
aeaVy penalties are imposed for any
criminal act toward the corporation.
