Roosevelt gave up the .governorship of

In keeping with the spirit of relaxa-

today for revival of the boycott
against japanese goods.
CThis boycott was advanced by the
Japanese as one Of their reasons for
attacking Shanghai a year ago. 1t re-
suited from the japanese occupation of
Manchuria, which began in September,
193I.)
In a circular sent to all commercial
and industrial guilds, the Chamber Of
Commerce said the boycott had been
relaxed and urged that it be made ef-
fective again.
'"There are only two ways China can
oppose Japan" the chamber statement
said. They are by boycott and guerrilla
warfare. Shanghai, being the nations
leading commercial city, should set the
example by intensifying the boycott and
simultaneously assisting Manchurian
volunteers"
1t was reported here that the Japa-
nese Economic League in TOXIC had
called upon the International Chamber
Of Commerce, which is to meet in
Vienna, to denounce the boycotting Of
one nations goods by another.
Dispatches indicated that everything
was quiet at Chinwangtao and Shan
haikwan, where the Chinese and Japa-
nese armies have faced each other with
a river between them since the Japa-
nese occupied Shanhaikwan January 3.

LEAGUE INFORMED OF STAND.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January 14-As leaders
of the special assembly of the League
Of Nations were arriving to resume
their efforts for a conciliatory settle
ment Of the Manchurian dispute, DR..
w. w. Yen notified the League today
that China reserved the right to offer
armed resistance to japanese military
action in the area of Shanhaikwan.
japanese troops, the Chinese Minis
ter asserted have taken unlawful ad-
vantage Of the special privilege claimed
under the protocol of 1901" to attack
and occupy Shanhaikwan.
He accused the japanese of "slaugh-
tering thousands of peaceful Chinese
citizens" and said they were further
concentrating in large numbers near
Shanhaikwan and along the Peiping-
Mukden Railway"
DR.. Yen's notice to the League was
conveyed by communicating to Sir
ETC Drummond, secretary general, the
contents Of identic memoranda the
Nanking government addressed Thurs
DAY to all signatories of the so-called
protocol Of 1901. the Boxer protocol.
This memorandum, which DR.. Yen
asked be circulated to all members of
the assembly, concludes thus:
Under these circumstances the Chi
nese government is constrained to de-
clare that it cannot assume RESPONSE
bility for any situation in law or in
fact which results from the exercise by
Chinese defensive forces of their legiti
mate right in resisting the aggressive
action OF the Japanese troops
While the assembly authorities were
informally negotiating with the Japa-
nese, seeking some procedure to which
Toxic will agree, the Chinese are again
considering invoking Article l6 of the
League Covenant, which provides for
sanctions against any government held
to be the aggreSsor in an armed conflict
Chinese diplomats were inclined to
give q few weeks more time for the
League to act under Article Is, but tf1ey
indicated determination to push, on to
the sixteenth if some form of condem-
nation of Japan's military course is not
soon pronounced by the assembly.
The present attitude of assembly
leaders is that Japan's Manchurian
policy must be censured but in such
terms that Japan will not be deeply
offended or radically alienated.

JOB SEEKERS AID
URGED BY FARLEY
Cooperation for Welfare Of Ma.
ton Is Stressed in Ohio
Speech.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, January Thames A
Farley told Ohio Democrats tonight
that there must be an end t'to anything
which does not contribute to national
welfare if complete order is to arise
out of the chaos which We have inner
tied"
THE fact that We have won is not
as important as what We may do with
our victory" the Democratic National
Committee chairman declared at vic
tory dinner" Of Democratic organZa-
.tions.
"The Democratic party will not lack
for leadership, but unless those who put
it into power are willing to do their
part the orders Of the high command
may be nullihed- The Federal Govern
ment alone has neither the resources
nor the power to bring complete order
out of the chaos which We have inner
tied. Existing emergencies call Tor q
degree of cooperation such as we have
never exerted before. There must be an
end to sectional Jealousy. to purely
selfish demands for national aid and to
anything which does not contribute to
the national welfare any effort which
does not help lis all is nlisspent."
Earlier in the day, shortly after his
arrival from New York, he expressed
doubt that the present Congress win
enact sufficient economic legislation"
"Gov. Roosevelt" he said, will have
to take the lead, and, with a Demo-
cratic Congress, straighten out the al
fairs Of the Nation"
Tonight he praised Roosevelt "a man
who, having determined what he wants
done and what he believes should
be done, knows how to get 1t done,
adding that Ibis will be q constructive
rather than a passive administration" +"
His pleas for cooperation for the
President-elect, he said, applied par
ticulariy to those seeking governmental
Office.
"As far as 1t lies within my power, "
he said, II intend to see that those
desires are carried out There is, at
the same time, a standard by which
every man should expect his party and
his leaders to be guided, and that Is
the good Of the party and the Nation
as a whole. I know that I am justi-
fed in saying that this is the view
point Of the Presidert-elect. He has
placed no limits, geographical or
political, upon his choice Of the most
competent men whom he can induce to
undertake the public service. He
should not be embarrassed in his choice
by intervening claims of friendship or
TO soothe purely personal ambitions.
Popular government cannot take such
factors into account. Successful gov
ernment must not"

personnel and put the saving in effective
machines"
IF not today, at least in the near
future" Collins said, ''all civilians con-
nected during peace times with ma
chimes and more particularly with such
as can Immediately be used in war,
motor cars, trucks, busses, tractors and
civil airplanes, will form the main re-
cruiting grounds for armies.
1T is established beyond doubt that
all countries, with the exception OF
Japan, have reduced man-power in &C
tive service and especially since the
depression, decreased their budgets.
If, as the chief of staff has done, we
base the strength of our Army on the
strength of foreign countries, we may
reasonably reduce the man-power of the
United States Army and decrease the
Army budget without in any way re-
ducing the strength Of our Army rela-
tive to any other power.
1T is extremely unfortunate that the
chief Of staff, Gen. Macarthur, during
his recent trip to Europe, did not
secure frst-hand information of larger
European countries, especially England,
whose army is the outstanding military
organization embracing the use of ma
chinery in warfare"

|HOOVERCHECKSu.S.
FINANCE CONDITION
Mills and Roop Discus Fiscal
Situation-Special Note
Still Possible.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover, with the aid o.
his two chief budgetary advisors. yes
terday checked over the entire fisca
situation of the Nation and the posi-
bility continued strong last night that
he might send a special message tt
Congress ON the necessity Of speedy
budget balancing action.
Secretary Mills and j. Clawson Roop
director of the budget, conferred with
the Chief Executive for more than ar
hour and half during the late after
noon. Leaving the White House, the
Treasury Secretary said:
I'VE have been making a check-uI
of the entire governmental financial
situation as of today, including pend
ing appropriation matters"
Tax Returns. Disappointing"
Mills declined to say what the check
up had revealed, but the President feels
that there Is critical need for bring
ing the budget into line. Returns from
the billion-dollar tax bill have been
described In official quarters as dis
appointing" at best.
The deficit now is around the S1,215,-
100000 mark, with both income tax
returns and customs duties continuing
to drop. Virtually all incoming reve-
nues have been below expectations.
In addition, major problem is pend
ing in the funding of the huge public
debt. Secretary Mills has expressed the
view that action must be taken, but
what line will be followed has not been
divulged. A total of $4,000, ,Oo0,0 600 OF
Liberty loans shortly viii be callable.
There has been advocacy also Of q
funding Of the short-term or floating
debt, now at its highest figure in his
tory - S., $50, ,o00,0 This total has
perts as too unwieldy to handle.
Hope for Long Term Issue.
Financial interests have expressed
hope that there would be shortly an
issue of long-term Government securi-
ties as a means of funding part of this
debt, an action that would tend also to
take the Government out of the money
borrowing market. This move would
reduce the carrying charges by taking
advantage Of the present light interest
rates.
In the light of this situation, there
appeared considerable probability yes
terday that the President would report
officially to Congress by special message,
urging again as he did in his regular
annual message, the need for a manu-
facturers' or sales tax to bring the budget
into balance and keep Federal credit
unimpaired.
Joslin Denies Reports.
The Secretary Of Treasury would not
say as he left the White House whether
such a message would be forthcoming
but he did not deny the possibility
White House aides, however. have
maintained for the past week that Mr..
Hoover had no such message In prepara-
ton. Theodore Joslin, secretary to the
President, again denied published re-
ports that a special MESSAGE would be
delivered early this week.
High administration quarters have
been divided as to the good to be gained
by sending such a message. From in
side the cabinet the view has been ex-
pressed that there was little hope OF
getting new tax legislation through the
Congress at this session.

from the various supply bills the aggre-
gate amount that would have to be
pared of to keep within the total ap-
preparation limit fixed in the resolu-
ton. The text of the resolution fol-
lows:
Resolved, That the Committee on
Appropriations be and it Is hereby in
structed by the Senate to reduce any
and all appropriation bills sufficiently
so that the aggregate of all apprppria-
tions for the fiscal year 1884 shall not
be in excess of $2,949, 100. 600, which
figure represents the total estimated
revenue for the fiscal year 1885, and
that no provision be made in any ap-
the National debt during said fiscal
year 1884"
Lewis Mentions I. C. C.
Senator Lewis, expressing the hope an
extra session of the new Congress
might be avoided, TOLD the Senate that
If Congress will proceed now to abolish
unnecessary agencies and amalgarnate
others that perform similar functions,
I'VE will save enough to make unneces-
sary the levy Of additional taxes on
business"
He mentioned the Interstate Com
merce Commission as one agency that
could be abolished, leaving the courts to
pass upon rate matters. Merger of the
functions of Interior and Agriculture is
another suggestion on reorganization
advanced by Senator Lewis. If the
number of Government agencies could
be reduced hastily, he said, it would
make unnecessary the suggestion for
an extra session.
Senator Logan, Democrat. Of Ken
lucky, declared Eve will never accom-
plish much by picking around the
edges. as we do with the question Of
salaries" He also urged abolition Of
bureaus and agencies as a necessary
step to reduce the Government budget.
Similar to McKellar Plan.
The Tydings resolution served to re-
call the somewhat similar move inaugu-
rated last year by Senator McKellar,
Democrat, of Tennessee, who sought to
apply a fat 10 per cent cut in the
total of each appropriation bill as 1t
came from the House. After the Sen
ate had sustained the Mcclellan reso-
luton on some Of the bills, 1t ahan-
doned the policy in the middle of the
session and finally adopted the present
economy law, with the 81s per cent
payless furlough for employees as one
of its provisions.
Chairman Hale Of the Senate Arpro-
priations Committee made no definite
prediction yesterday as to when the
Treasury-Post ONCE bill could be taken
up in the Senate, but expressed the
hope it would be this week.
1t is probable several days Of debate
will ensue when the measure Is
taken up.
