JAPAN MAY QUIT
LEAGUE MARCH 70
Imperial Troops Complete
Seizure of Great Wall
South of JehoI City.

BY the Associated Press.
Japan's determination to withdraw
from the League Of Nations as a result
Of the Sino-Japanese dispute becomes
more apparent.
This determination was made evident
as her forces rested momentarily after
taking over the last important pass
through the Great Wall Of China,
south of Jehol City
The Japanese cabinet, after the mat
ter had been submitted to the Emperor,
approved and sent to the Privy Council
the draft of a communication which
Is expected to be submitted to the
League about March 20, calling for per-
manent withdrawal from that organi-
Zation.
The japanese delegation walked out
Of the League Assembly recently after
unanimous adoption of report con-
demning japanese policy in Manchuria.

Meanwhile, Marshal Chang Hsiao-

made by troops of Marshal Chang

BRITAIN RETAINS
POLICY ON GOLD
Stand Unaffected by Domes.
tic Banking Crisis in U. S.,
Officials Hold.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 8-From the high
est financial quarters of the British
government it was learned today that
Americas domestic banking crisis has
in no way affected Great Britain's
policy with regard to the gold
standard.
That policy, as reafirmed today, Is
that while Great Britain looks forward
to an eventual return to gold as the
most suitable international standard OF
value, no return to it can be con-
templated until there is a promise of
more workable system than existed just
before this country abandoned gold
In 1881.
Also certain definite conditions must
he fulfilled. or must be well on the
road to realization. before the officials
who help to formulate the financial
policy of the British government Will
advise the cabinet that the time Is ripe
for q return to the gold standard.
Statement Recalled.
Prime Minister MacDonald's state
ment to Parliament on February 9 Is
still the governments policy, it was
said.
On that occasion the prime minister
said: There are number Of economic,
as well as financial, conditions which
must be fulfilled before restoration OF
the international gold standard can be
a practical possibility" That declara-
ton has been supported on several
occasions since then by Neville Cham
berlain, chancellor of the exchequer.
Broadly, the conditions to which Mr..
Macdonald had reference are stabll1za-
ton Of national currencies, lowering OF
trade barriers, raising of commodity
prices, and settlement Of the war debts
Mr.. Chamberlafn's view Is that the
key to the whole problem may be found
in the price level OF primary com,
modities. The fall IN prices shattered
confidence in many countries, and a
remedy can be found, he believes, only
by international action such as Is
contemplated in the projected world
economic conference.
Regarded as /Temporary.
Events Of the last week in the United
States have not altered the British
financial policy because the view here
is that the present American difficulties
are purely domestic and certainly
temporary.
Much thought has been given to the
possibility that the American situation
will speed up solution of the larger
world problems, but it Is too early. for
authoritative comment on that phase.
Meantime Great Britain will take
advantage of every opportunity to
stabilize the world monetary system,
and it is believed here that a large
measure Of agreement can be reached
when International negotiations are
begun.

NEW YORK, March 8.-To prevent
any circumvention Of President Roose-
velt's bank proclamation, commercial
dealers in gold and silver are subject
ing orders for these metals to unusual
scrunity, it was indicated today.
Dealers said they knew of no cases
in which manufacturers called for gold
ostensibly for their own operations, but
actually for delivery to hoarders. How
ever, to guard against such COLLISION
it was required that acquisitions be ac-
companied by evidence Of legitimate
need for the metal.
The trade demand for platinum Is
currently very small and the quotation

Although the Treasury Depart
ment has promulgated IA differ
ent regulations lifting restrictions
on banks during the four-day
holiday, local institutions today
continued to follow the course OF
banks generally throughout the
country and operate only on five
of these. Under authority OF the
Clearing House Association they
postponed action on the others.
AS explained in a notice posted in
one of Washington's leading
banks, the limited business which
banks are doing is explained as
follows:

20. Make change at tellers' win

"3. Cash checks drawn on the
Treasurer of the United States.
"a. Accept payments in settle

Study Regulations.
The clearing house advised all banks
to conform to the original presidential
bank holiday proclamation which stated
that no gold or gold certificates were to
be paid out during the period Of the
moratorium. Clearing house officials
said that they needed more time in
which to study regulation 10 covering
this matter.
In the meantime many customers
were visiting their banks, calling atten-
ton to the Treasury regulation and
asking for varied amounts Of money
with which to meet necessities.
While members Of the Clearing House
made only the bare state
ment that payroll and other necessity"
funds were not to be paid out until
further study had been given to every
angle and point In the Treasury regu-
lations, other bankers explained what
they believed to be the reasons for this
action. The difficulty lies In the inter-
probation of necessities"

at the tellers windows and demand
large sums of money, "all for necessi-

BY the Associated Press.
With gradually loosening restrictions,
the bank holiday will be continued un-
til Congress passes new legislation.
Meantime, gold cannot be paid out
but banks depositing gold with their
Federal Reserve Banks will receive in
return currency which they can pay
out now for necessities.
New currency also will be issued
against other reserves made available
under the Glass Steagall bill.
Maximum use of currency (other
than gold) is intended, keeping use Of
scrip to a minimum.
Both the present emergency regula-
lions and the permanent legislation
are being framed to keep the strong
banks doing business, rather than to
bolster actually insolvent institutions.
