cannot expect to remain here"

The report was submitted to the

In passing the bill the Senate re-
duced the customs fund for the next
fiscal year from $4,000, 900 to $780,

cerning the Sino-J japanese situation,
today decided to maintain its support
of non-recognition of the new jap

It also was decided to ask the jap

willing to agree that continuation OF

The committee took the view any
settlement on conciliatory basis would
be unacceptable unless Japan were
willing to acknowledge Chinese sover-
eighty in Manchuria and admit that
of the present regime was
unsatisfactory for a settlement.
Written Reply Asked.
The Japanese representatives pro-

sufaciently clear on this question, which
they consider the heart of the problem.
