LEAGUE TO DRAFT
REPORT ON JAPAN
Committee Decides to Act
When Efforts to Conci|iate
Clash Fail.
CONTINUED From First Page

await instructions upon future policy.
It was understood that Japan's re-
sponse to the committees conciliation
proposal set forth opposition to the fol-
lowing points:
l. Mention of the competence of the
League covenant, the Kellogg BRAND
pact and the nine-power treaty;
2. Acceptance of chapter 8 of the
Lytton Commissions report as a basis
for conciliation;
3. The invitation to the United
States and Russia to participate in the
process Of conciliation;
4. The obligation of non-recognition
of the state of Manchukuo which was
set up in Manchuria with the assist
ance of the japanese.
Chapter of the Lytton report, which
presents suggestions for settling the
conflict, proposes a new treaty between
Japan and China to establish the rights
and responsibilities of both in Man
churia, and suggests that the govern
ment Of Manchufi4 be modified to bring
about large measure Of economy, with
domestic order to be insured by local
police and with external aggression
guarded against by the withdrawal of
all armed forces other than the police.
Recommendation Difficult.
The League secretariat already has
drawn up tentative texts for parts OF
the report under paragraph 4. One
part gives an historical account Of the
dispute and another summarizes the
Lytton recommendations.
The most delicate and difficult task
viii consist of preparing recommends
tions for the settlement of the dispute.
After 16 months Of League litigation,
statesmen obviously still are reluctant
to talk of coercion in any form.
The committee meets Monday to dis
cuss the preparation Of the report and
the Council session scheduled to begin
Monday has been postponed until Tues
day.
Meanwhile the committee stands
ready to receive any proposals from
either party designed to provide a basis
for further efforts toward conciliation.
The committeeman felt that even in ad-
vancing to other procedure no possible
opportunity for conciliation could be al
lowed to be missed.
The speech delivered at the opening
session Of the japanese Diet by Foreign
Minister Baron Uchida was distributed
at League headquarters by the japanese
and was read with great interest. In
the speech the foreign minister warned
China not to participate in economic
or military movements against Japan.
Baron Uchida's declarations occa-
! stoned no surprise as they agreed with
previous official pronouncements from
Toxic. They were regarded in League
circles as demonstrating the essential
consistency Of the Japanese policy In
Manchuria Arriving at a time when
the Assembly Committee was engaged
in an acute phase Of the Leagues treat
ment of the dispute, the foreign minis
ters address was not given the atten-
tion it might otherwise have obtained.

JAPAN'S FINANCES
DECLARED NOT BAD
Minister Says Present Costs
of Manchuria Drive Are
Temporary.
BY the Associated Press.

Asserting that the future Of Japan's
finances lis not at all discouraging, p"
the finance minister reported to the
Diet yesterday that appropriations for
carrying on the Manchurian campaign
were Of . temporary nature and were
expected to show a marked decrease
within a few years to come"
The report Of Viscount Tahahashi,
which was made public at the embassy
here. said that despite a deficit in the
general budget, he was optimistic over
the fiscal situation.
THE monetary policy hitherto pur-
sued by the government, coupled with
various emergency measures, has grad
ually given a better turn to our
economic world and is on the point Of
revivifying it," the finance minister
said
Expects Revenue Increase.
He cautioned, however. that economy
was necessary despite the probable
increase in revenues and decreases In
expenditures.
He said the national loans for Man.
churia, to be issued during the next
fiscal year. would total 895, 100000 yen,
or approximately $l79,000,0 900. the yen
being quoted roughly at 20 cents.
"One Of the chief causes of the
present large deficit, the finance minis
ter pointed out, was the decrease in
ordinary revenues as shown by q
decrease Of the tax revenues Of 22l,-
100000 yen in the budget, to which
he added: 1T is evident that the
national revenues will gradually In
crease with the future recovery OF
business"
Advantageous Basis.
Touching on international finances,
the minister stressed that Japan has
none Of the financial and economic
troubles Of the United States and
Europe, due to the question of war
debts, nor pressure from foreign loans
There is no fear of withdrawing OF
short-term foreign loans," he said, as
more than half of "our foreign loans
are in the hands of our own nationals ~
The fact that the majority Of the
japanese are agriculturists with nc
small power Of endurance In these
abnormal times" the Viscount pointed
out. "are very strong points in our
national economic structure. placing
us on comparatively advantageous
basis III the midst Of the present uni
versal depression"

CALLED WASTE.

Abandonment of the Anacostia
Park development obligated by
the 1884 budget will prove more
of an extravaganza than an

engineer of the United States En-
gineer's Office, in charge OF the

Elimination of the park is
''fraught with serious conse-
uuences for both the project and
the employees engaged thereon,
he said.
Between SO and 60 workers will
be laid off if the bill is approved.
In addition valuable machinery
constructed especially for work in
the upper part of the project will
be made useless and require stor-
age: Levees and embankmentS
will weather down, dredging basins
will wash out and lack of drain

breeding in the District, resulting
in actual loss rather than eco
nomic gain.
Refusal to grant funds for COM
pleting the culvert on the north
side of Benning Road at Lake
Kingman, while the District al
ready has under contract con-
Struction of a bridge, will make it
impossible to eliminate a narrow,
dangerous bottleneck for traffic,

OUTSIDE PUPILS
MUST PAY WAY.

The new District supply bill for

vides for a compromise on the
long-standing problem of nonresi-
dent pupils in the public schools.
Controversy over whether to
admit children living outside of
the District into the local schools
with or without the payment of
tuition resulted in the present
provision that only children Of
officers in the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps or other employees
of the United States may be ad-
mitted gratis.
This provision forces tuition
payment from the large group of
nonresident children whose par
ents are otherwise employed in
Washington. Under the present
law, these children are exempted
from tuition.

WAY MADE OPEN
To SINGLE j. 5.
. BANK SYSTEM

Interpreted as the death knell of
the State banking system, the
Federal Reserve Board today
issued an opinion by Walter Wyatt,
its general counsel. holding Con.
gress has the constitutional
authority to establish a single ma
tional commercial banking system.
The opinion, which was sub
mitted to the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee, cited many
decisions of the Supreme Court
which, it was contended, would
permit Congress to confine COM
mercial banking to national sys-
tenn to the exclusion of State
banks.
Essential To Reform
Federal Reserve Board members
were held to be of the opinion
that "the establishment of g. uni
fled system of banking under ma
tional supervision is essential to
fundamental banking reform"
The ruling laid down the follow
ing program to establish a single
banking system:
/. To restrict the business Of re-
ceiving deposits subject to with
drawal by check to national banks
and thereby to subject all COM
mercial banking business to ma
tional regulation and supervision
2. A prohibition against the
receipt of deposits subject to with
drawal by check except by banks
organized under the laws of the
United States.
High Check Tax Urged
3. A prohibition against any
bank organized under Federal law
making loans or extending credit
to, depositing of any Of its funds
in, or permitting the use of any
of its facilities by, any commercial
banking institution not organized
under Federal statute.
4. A provision imposing a pro
hibitive tax on all checks or sub
Stitutes therefore drawn upon or
payable at any bank not organized
under the Federal law.
Wyatt said:
eff such legislation is enacted,
its effective date necessarily
would have to be postponed for
q sufficient length of time to
avoid too sudden and revOlu-
tiOnary q change in our existing
financial structure and to allow
time for existing state banks to
adjust themselves to the Situa-
tiOn by converting into national
banks or diScOntinuing the
