PARLEY
CRISIS. NEAR
BY International News Service

By International News Service
President Roosevelt today re.
ceived a discouraging report on
the European disarmament situa-
ton from Norman Davis, Amer
ica's rowing ambassador.
The Administrators view Is
that one of the most serious crises
since the war is heading up IN
Europe, and will come to climax
within the next 80 days.
The disarmament conference is
tentatively scheduled to reconvene
on May % but Mr.. Davis has no
plans to return abroad until there
is some hint of progress.
The crux of the whole matter,
as viewed here, is the Franco
German situation, and until this
is Strengthened out. there appears
little likelihood of any real prog
ress toward disarmament.
Mr.. Davis was accompanied by
Secretary of State Hull at the
White House conference today and
the pair were closeted with Mr..
Roosevelt for more than an hour
The attitude of encouragement
was obvious as Mr.. Davis left the
White House, refusing to go into
details of his talk with the Presi.
dent.

JAPS YIELD,
To EXPLAIN
POLICY
Tokyo Decides to EIucidate Her
'Hands-off' China Statement;
Feared Invoking of Pact

TOKYO, April q I.N.S.).
Fearing the United States,
Great Britain, and other sigma
tories of the Nine Power Treaty
might invoke the pact to force
her to explain her unofficial"
policy of "hands-off" China,
Japan today capitulated and
decided to elucidate her posi-
tion.
A formal statement will be is
sued and signed by Foreign Min
lister Koki Hirota fully explaining
the unofficial statement issued by
the foreign office spokesman to
the press several days ago, start
ling the world with the declara-
ton Japan would not approve
of foreign military and economic
aid to China.
The decision to offer an off.
cial version of the japanese pol
icy followed a firm request by
Great Britain for such step
and a milder request for elucida-
tion made by American Ambas-
sador Joseph C. Grew. Previously
the japanese foreign office had
taken the stand that "the state
ment spoke for ITSELF"
It was learned on good author
ity that Sir Francis Lindley, Brit
ish ambassador, handed Foreign
Minister Hirota a written memo
randum asking explanation Of the
true intentions of the Japanese
government in issuing the state
ment.
Following the receipt of the
Lindley note the foreign office de-
cided to issue a formal statement
as reply to Britain, at the same
time dispatching it to the other
powers, where it is expected 10 be
delivered on Monday.
Japan now is eager to take the
initiative in an explanatory move
in order to avoid being forced into
a position where signatorieS Of
the nine-power treaty could take
action under it to force Japan to
explain her position.
A clause of the treaty provides
for consultation among the sigma
tories in the event there arises a
question of application of the
treaty.

HOPE To PUSH
STEAGALL'S
MEASURE
Substitution of Partial for

House leaders today plotted
new strategy to defeat the
Mcleod bank relief bill.
Under their plans, The Wash

sively, Democratic regulars" will
be whipped into line during the
next few days to support a sub

resentative Henry B. Steagall Cd

Of the House Banking and Cur

recently, and his committee plans
10 report it out Immediately.
It then will be brought up on
the floor under a special rule, and
with Democratic leaders making
the issue frankly partisan will be
forced through the House before
adjournment.
Only by such move, opponents
to the Mcleod bill have decided,
can the Mcleod bloc be prevented
from bringing out it's 100 per cent
pay-off bill by petition.
Under the Steagall bill, de-
positors would receive only a part
of their deposits pending the time
when the Government could liqui-
date assets in closed banks.
Backed by a group of approx
imately 80 Democrats courageous
enough to risk censure by Admin

Democratic leaders of the House

the petition, exerting pressure on
Democrats who signed a similar
earlier document to refrain from
supporting the bill and doing
everything within their power to
make bank relief partisan

FIERY PLEA
MADE BY
GARNET 7
At CLOSE
Judge Rules Both Defendants
Must Be Convicted
or Acquitted

The fate of Bishop James
Cannon, jr., and Miss Ada Bur-
roughs, his secretary, now rests
in the hands of a jury in Dis
trict Supreme Court.
After a long -drawn-out legal
battle, the case of the pair,
charged with conspiracy to violate
the corrupt practices act, was
given the jury by Justice Peyton
Gordon at 1921.
In his one-hour charge to the
jurors, Justice Gordon stressed
the fact that both defendants
must be found guilty or not
guilty. One may not be convicted
and the other acquitted under the
terms of the conspiracy law, he
pointed out.
Proof Claimed
In a final plea to the jury
District Attorney Leslie c. Gar
nett urged that both defendants
be found guilty, holding that the
Government had proved that they
conSpired to conceal campaign
funds given during the 1928 anti.
Smith campaign.
Bishop Cannon used "a double
barreled gun with single trig
ger" Mr.. Garnett charged. One
barrel, he said, fired the big con.
tributions into his own pockets
and the other fired the little con
tributions."
Bishop Cannon collected large
campaign donations so that hs
might get money to reimburse
trust funds that he had taken
for his own use, the District At

In Financial JAM
The bishop was in terrific
financial jam" in 1928, Mr.. Gar
nett said, with legatees clamorins
for money held by him, said to

the campaign ended, Mr.. Garnett
said, the money was paid back

report she made was when Bishop

NRA LICENSING
POWER TOD|E
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt apparently
has abandoned all thought of ask
ing Congress to renew his power
to license industry under NRA,
which expires June Is under pres
ent law.
The Presidents decision was
made after a study of all factors
involved, including a survey of
NRA operation during the past
year. 1t was heartily approved
and, for that matter, suggested
by Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson.
Mr.. Roosevelt and General John
son felt that the drastic licensing
power-which, incidentally, has
never been invoked-was no longer
necessary. This was the surface
reason for the decision not to ask
Congress to renew the power.
Back of this reason was another
and more vital one, however.
Congressional action would be
necessary to renew the power. In
effect, the NRA act would have to
be thrown open for amendment.
This the President and General
Johnson distinctly do not want at
the present time.
With Congress in the mood it
has exhibited during the past few
weeks, any suggestion for one
change in NRA would inevitably
bring dozens of moves for other
changes. The President and Gen
eral johnson do not want the act
torn to ShredS by a bitter congress
Sional debate.
