 tanks. moved behind scouts, with the apparent intention of q three- column advance via Kallu, Chaoy- ang and ChIomenkou, all on the eastern border of Jehoi, In n direct north-and-south line from the northern part of the province to the great wall. This plan would lead to q sweeping advance to en- velope all Jehol province. Armored trains between Nanking and Cha0y- ang were bombarded,
 The Japanese advance towards Chimenkou, Just north of Shanhai- kwan, and on Shihmenchni, dofin- itely marked the start of Jehol offensive. Meanwhile. cavalry from Chlnchow and infantry from Shan- hailwan proceeded inside the great will towards strategic passes where tho Chinese were preparing resist ance from we'll Reconstructed en- trenchments.
 Although the Japanese claimed 10 have captured Chiomenkou, tho Chinese officially denied it They said the place is a long mountain pass, and that the Chinese were holding the great wall gate and the village. prepared for the utmost resistance If the Japanese attempt to advance down the pass from the north.
 Japan's admission of failure to persuade the governor of Jehol, Tang Yu-Ldn, Co join Manehqukuo after 16 months of negotiations, was believed to explain the launch Ing of the offensive.
 The Japanese military efforts to isolate tho defenders of Jehol gives Tang Yufin the option of resist Ing invasion or omulating General Mn -Shnn, the defender of the Nonni river in M0nchuria and Wag- ing guerrilla warfare Indefinitely. The Japanese strategy appeared to be to sweep southward from Manchurla, turn westward ut tho great wall in n eircling movement and cut Jehol off from China proper.
 Poiping, Jan 10.--(UP) The Chinese, on the baslg of radio ad- vices, officially announced to-day that a major battle had ragged all day long at Chiomenkou, with the Chinese holding their positions, A Chinese Gommunique said JapaneBe -Manchoukuo troops, in- cluding infantry and cavalry sup ported by airplanes and n regiment of artillery entered Chiomenkou pass and immediately made con- tact with Chinese cavalry, who rec sisted repeated saber charges.
 At noon. tho communiquo said, four Japanese bombesr operated over and behind tho Chinese lines after which tho Chinese received endorsements and held their po- sitions. At dusk tho Chinese con- tinued in possession of Chiomonkou tho communiquo claimed. Although prepared for m attack, they were expected to withdraw within tho wall about 2 a. m. tomorrow.

tho United States in turning down proposals for 0 worldwide peg glng of currency proposed at the World Economic conference.
 Tho United states, meanwhile, has brought under It's control most of tho nations gold with q view toward providing . strong basis for itA currency if it finally decides upon n definite mobilization of tho dollar in terms of prices. Treas ury officials today refused to dis' euss what forf, American dollar sta bilixation would take or what steps would be provided for keop- Ing 1t at steady purchasing power,
 Tho administration considers un. satisfactory tho old gold dollar which on m unchanged gold base, has ranged from n purchasing power In terms of goods from 70 cents to $i.G0 In tho last 100 years.
 Observers hero saw in President leoosovelt's message to tho World Economic conference hopes for. | managed currency" secured by gold and silver motal locked In treasury vaults.
 Ono possibility was that the woigth of tho dollar would Do changed from time to time with tho fluctuations in commodity prices.
 If prices rose too high the dol. lnr could Do increased in value by raising It's gold content and if prices fcll too low tho dollar could Do eheapened by reducing tho gold content.
 This would tend to pravcnt wldo fluctuations In commodity prices by keeping the purchasing power of tho dollar at . relatively stable level.
 The frozen dcbt problems of tho last few years might have been avoided had not debtors found 1t impossible in many eases to meet debts contracted in more normal times. Tho recent sweeping rise in tho purchasing power Of tho dol. lar ih many cases has penaiised debtors.
