Fight to Reform Con.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 5.-A wave of
popular support for Premier CASTOR
Doumergue in his fight for constitu-
tional reform rolled across France to-
day. indicating that stubborn deputies
and senators might be swept into line.
Socialist quarters, however, pre-
dicted the cabinet crisis would result
in greater civil strife than did the
"bloodiest days Of February" Those
days Of rioting cost 28 lives.
Doumergue Appeals.
Doumergue started popular senti-
ment surging yesterday with a broad
cast appeal in which he asked the
voters to Judge between him and the
lawmakers who seek to block the re-
form. The venerable premier had
threatened weeks ago to take his case
to the people.
Doing it, he made such an impress
sion that some quarters foresaw the
breaking of party lines in parliament
ary voting as the result of public
pressure.
Popular support of the statesman
was believed so great all parties ex-
cept Socialists and Communists would
hesitate to take the responsibility for
a rupture of the political truce, and
then run the risk of political death in
the election which would follow Dou-
mergue's promised dissolution Of the
Chamber.
Newspapers freely predict bloody
rioting-even a civil war-should the
government be overthrown.
Arms Shipments Reported.

financiers, induStrialists, politicians
and journalists.
Rumors of troop movements to the
capital were quickly denied by the war
ministry. Ofricials indicated, how
ever, police would be reinforced by
mobile guards.
Doumergue announced he would
face the Chamber Wednesday with
proposal that credits for three
months be voted in order to allow
Parliament to give all of its time to
debate on changes in the constitution.
He has warned that If he loses his
first battle he will ask the Senate to
dissolve the Chamber preparatory to
q general election.

Aside from the increased co-opera-
ton of employers, Moley described a
Frightening picture of the national
economic outlook The chief evidences
of improvement. he said, are increased
retail sales, activity in the automo-
bile industry and rising prices. Vir-
tually all indices, he added, are en-
couraging.
1t is not correct, Moley stated, to
say that President Roosevelt has

1T is not a question of turning at

TOXIC, November 5.-Japan dis
claimed all responsibility for the
Manchoukuo oil controversy today and
advised protesting American and Brit

This japanese attitude was disclosed
in notes handed to the American and

choukuo government, however. that
neither ManChoukuo oil laws nor ar
ticles of incorporation for the Man
churia OIL Co. provided for discrim-
ination against any nationality.
Dlrect NEGOTIATIONS.
The Japanese government under
stands the Manchoukuo government
is paying the utmost possible consid-

Of foreign merchants. and therefore
the Japanese government advises
American oil interests to negotiate
directly with Hsinking.
In conclusion, the note asserts Man.
choukuo's contemplated oil measure
does not violate the principle of the
open door. since it does not dis
criminate in favor of the japanese or
any other nationality.
Disregarding foreign charges that
the oil monopoly scheme is discrimi-

Both companies have received from
the Manchoukuo ministry of finance
notification that the monopoly will be
instituted 'in the near future" and
that "in all probability the present
marketing and selling systems will
be greatly changed"
Omcials Of the companies were in

REICH CHURCHES
MOVEFOR PEACE
Efforts Started to Effect
Compromise Among
Warning Groups.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. November 5-From vari-
GUS sides, efforts we're under way to-
day to effect a compromise between
warning Protestant church factions in
Germany
These efforts were brought into
bold relief by a demonstration at
Nurnberg yesterday. Thousands of
Protestants defied prohibition
against open-air meetings to cheer
Bishop Hans Meiser, released from ar
rest and reinstated as Bishop Of
Bavaria.
Given Tumultuous Ovation.
Bishop Meiser had been arrested
by order of DR.. August Jaeger. re-
Gently deposed adviser to Reichs-
Bishop Ludwig Mueller and the tu-
multous ovation given his homecom-
ing was IN open disregard of the ban
on open-air meetings imposed by
Julius Streicher, Nazi. leader in
Nurnberg
One of the most active men in
seeking a compromise is DR.. Arthur
Kinder. leader of the German Chris
tian Church, who was chiefly instru-
mental in eliminating Jaeger from
the church cabinet. He is trying to
persuade Bishops Meiser. Theophil
Wurm and Marahrens that Jaeger's
elimination means that Reichsbishop
Mueller will in the future steer a
course acceptable even to the opposi-
tion.
As a result of his persuasive efforts
there were indications the three
bishops might participate in a
bishops conference tomorrow. Should
they accept, Reichsbishop Mueller'S
position would once again be more
secure, despite last weeks rumorS
that he might resign.
Theological Groups Seek Peace.
Another group. comprising repre-
sentatives of Protestant theological
organizations, also is trying to effect
peace. This group, in public state
ment. declared:
I'VE have satisfied ourselves in
numerous conferences that peace is
possible. Whoever lacks readiness for
peace endangers the unity and the
mission of the church of the refor-
nation in our state and among our
people"
The younger element opposing
Reichsbishop Mueller, headed by Rev.
Martin Niemoeller, is alarmed at the
apparent readiness of Bishops Meiser.
Wurm and Marahrens, who represent
the older generation, to come to an
accord with Reichsbishop Mueller.

A fair and impartial outlook In the
most important contests may be
thumbnailed as follows:
New York-Senator Copeland will
win by a mile and Gov. Lehman by a
few yards.
New Jersey-Gov. Moore will gain
a senatorial seat for the Democrats.
PennSylvania-50-50 on Reed and
Guffey in the senatorial race, but
Democrats are certain to gain several
congressional seats.
Rhode Island-Democrats expect to
pick up a Senate seat here.
Massachusetts, - Democrats seem
likely to hold what they have.
Richie in Tight Place.
Maryland-Your old friend. Gov.
Ritchie, is in a tight spot, but Demo-
cratic candidates appear to have the
edge otherwise
Ohio-Democrat Donahey is a cinch
in the senatorial race, but Democrats
will lose possibly two congressional
seats.
Indiana-Very close and doubtful.
Missouri-The Democrats will pick
up another senatorial seat here, de-
feating Patterson, but will lose sew
eral congressional seats.
Michioan-Republica Senator

the Democrats started pouring re-
lief funds out there tDithin the last

Follettes by shade.

OMahoney has been hard pressed
and Is not as certain as he was q
month ago.
New Mexico-There may be an up
set here. Good information indicates
the Republicans may gain one Sen
ate seat.
Sinclair Seems Sunk.
California-Sinclair is apparently
sunk, but not as deeply as every one
believes.
Pennsylvania-Tiaer is less cleo
ton excitement here now than there
has been in many of years. Only
one State is considered very i'm
portant nationally by the insiders
That one is Pennsylvania.

The boys upstairs are beginning to
wonder If they did wrong. They
have half notion that the best way
to get rid of Sinclair would have
been to elect him. He could have
done nothing but shout his head off

unpublished respects. Some of the

little.
At the outset. the president congrat-
ulated Mr.. Hughes on the 1921 Wash

something about it being the only sue
cessful disarmament conference ever

And when it is all over, it is found
that the National Labor Relations
Board grants in a specific agree
ment the very points raised originally,
namely, that employees must refrain
from coercing their fellow employees
into unionizing, just as employers
must refrain from coercing their en-
ployes to refrain from joining unions.
But it would save the country mil
lions of dollars in losses II the Gov
ernment wuold make the settlement
of the A. g. P. case a national policy
and stand behind it everywhere, in
stead of developing series of agree
ments which grant rights in one case
that are denied in another. Thus, the

Ancil Hoffman, Baer'S manager
