to force her to admit she had writ

as to its truth which appeared in
a Los Angeles newspaper few
days after she surrendered.

To Probe Reads

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 81. U.P)-
Alfred c. Read, Jr., Oakland brok-
er and once described by his wife
as the boy friend" of Claire Wind
sor, motion picture actress, will
confer again next week with Dis
trict Attorney Buron Fits, invest
igating the young brokers' stock
selling activities.
He appeared voluntarily yester-
day when Fits questioned him
concerning the sale of stock in a
concern which the district attor-
ney said would manufacture fix
lures from wood to resemble
wrought irCn. Read said ne saw
nothing illegal in the sales. Fits
himself said he did not know
whether any law had been violated.
The district attorney said he may
confer with Miss Windsor to ascer-
tain if she had investments in the
enterprise. The company itself has
not yet been formed, Fits said.

amendment was submitted last
March.
This 10th amendment will COM
pletely change the schedule of
dates for the meeting of congress
and the presidential inauguration
New senators and congressman
will take their seats January fol-
lowing election At present, bar
ring extra sessions, they wait until
December a year later and mean
time the old congress comes back
for three months in the kind of
session now being witnessed here.
1t is a relic of stage coach days,
when the world moved slowly.
Presidential Inauguration will be
moved forward to January 20 in
stead of March 4. This would elm
mate such a situation as now par
alyzes President Hoover. He is un-
able to act authoritatively in for
eign affairs and must wait for the
new administration. He and Mr.
Roosevelt Aare cooperating unof-
ficially to bridge this gap as effect
lively as possible.
Curbs FilibusterS
Filibustering will be robbed OF its
effectiveness by this change. AT
present March 4 is the deadline
and by talking for the last few
weeks of a session, little band
of "wilful men," as Wilson called
one such group, can obstruct all
action and even kill off appropria-
ton bills necessary to provide
money for operation of the gov
ernment.
The lame duck amendment =
whose author, Senator George Nor
ris, Repn., Neb., was one of the
willful II denounced by Wilson -
will allow each session to run in
definitely. 1t leaves no deadline for
filibustering speakers to shoot at.
They can be worn down if they
persist and the prospect of ulti-
mate failure is expected to prove
discouraging in most instances.
States which have ratified the
lame duck amendment are: Vir-
ginia, New York, Mississippi, New
Jersey, Arkansas, South Carolina,
Kentucky, Michigan, Maine, Rhode
Island, Illinois, Louisiana, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Texas, Alabama, North Carolina,

CHINA WARNED
BY JAPANESE
Instructed To Stay Out OF
Jehol Province Held To Be
Manchurian Territory.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


TOXIC, Jan. 81. China was
warned by the Japanese govern
ment today to stay out of Jehol
province, scene of impending con-
flict between Japanese and Chin
ese armies, which Japan regards as
an integral part of the new state
of Manchoukuo.
Outlining the governments poll
cies before the Imperial japanese
diet, Foreign Minister Count Uch-
ida said Japan could not look upon
Chinese military activity "without
the gravest apprehension" He
declared the constructive force of
Japan" to be the mainstay of peace
in the far east.
Count Uchida made it clear that
| Japanese policy in Manchuria
would not be changed, despite in
ternational efforts to end the Jap
anese Chinese dispute
Count Uchida said Chinese
troops were concentrating on the
borders of Manchoukuo and that
"some of them have invaded the
province of Jehol" China regards
Jehol as Chinese territory; the
troops were concentrated along the
Manchoukuoan border after the
Japanese penetrated ShanhaikWan,
below the Great Wall)
"The Japanese government can
not look upon such state of af-
fairs in China without the gravest
apprehension" he said. "We are
compelled to warn the government
and the people of China against
the unfortunate eventualities that
may arise from the situation and
to invite them to think seriously
before proceeding further in that
direction
Count Uchida advanced for the
orient a doctrine similar to the
Monroe doctrine.
1T is needless to say that the
fundamental principal Of Japans
foreign policy is to secure the peace
of the orient and, as corollary,
that of the world he said
''It is imperative to respect those
real forces which are actually rem
dering peace possible in various
parts of the world. In this sense
our government believes that any
plan for erecting the edifice of
peace in the far east should be
based upon recognition that the
constructive force of Japan is the
mainstay of tranquility in this part
of the world"
He reiterated previous declara-
tions that Japan will continue ito
protect Manchoukuo both internal
IL and externally"
