prevent the reopening of the Cali

workers from leaving or entering
A temporary truce permitted $50
workers to go to their homes, but
the union lines held firm against
attempts of employees to return.

The note was drafted by
the cabinet at an emergency
meeting this morning. 1t was
reported to be strong in tone
as a result of Hitler's new
military CONSUMPTION law
violating the Versailles
Treaty.
Sir John announced that the gov
eminent had already consulted
France and Italy, was considering
discussing the matter with all sigma
tories of the Versailles Treaty, and
might ask for a special session OF
the assembly of the League of Ma
lions.
Although the United States is not
a signatory of the Versailles Treaty,
it has an interest because of the
military clauses of the separate Ger
man-American peace treaty.
Atmosphere Recalls 1914
Today's session of Commons was
eventful and exciting. The atmos-
phere was reminiscent of the fate
full days of 1914.
An added stir was created when
Prime Minister j. Ramsay MacDon-
aid announced the government would
start early consultations with 10
cal authorities all over Britain about
arranging to protect the civilian
population against air raids.
Capt. Anthony Eden, lord privy
seal, contributed an initimation that
Britain might possibly join France
in mutual pact of aerial security,
if it is not found feasible to include
Germany in such a pact.
Simon communicated the text of
the note to Andre Corbin, French
ambassador, when Corbin visited the
House of Commons. The foreign
office also informed the italian en-
bassy of its contents.
Because of Simon's disclosure
that the government was consider
ing consulting the United States,
Ray Anterior, counsellor of the en-
bassy, was understood to be prepar-
ing to ask Washington for instruc-
tionS.
S2O,OOO,OO More Asked
Douglas Hacking, speaking for the
War Department and the Ministry
of Home Affairs, introduced a re-
quest for 100000 pounds sterling
(nearly $20000,000) additional ap-
preparations, "for coastal and anti
aircraft defense" required, he said,
because of the gravity of the news
from Germany.
1.-THE blue water principle Control
of the sea- can no longer be the
basis for Defense" Mr.. Hacking said,
"at least without considerable quail
f1cation. Because of the development
of aircraft, we can no longer rely
solely on our navy to defend this
country against such raids and
against such detectives as would
paralyze our national life"
None can TELL" Mr.. Hacking de-
clared, when an emergency may
arise or where, nor to what extent it
may develop. Therefore it is our
obvious duty to be prepared"

will be limited to $4,000, 1000 square
meters annually during tie next two
years.
The limitation, agreed to by Japan
to stave of imposition of higher
Philippine duties and anti-Japanese

Pact Is Recommended.
The Presidents Cabinet Committee
on Cotton. in its report on the cotton
problem, recommended that efforts be
made to negotiate a pact with Japan
by which its exports to this country
would be limited IN the interests OF
American textile manufacturers.
State Department officials are now
gathering all pertinent data concern
ing Japanese textile exports to this
country, including amounts, values
percentages and effect on domestic
manufacturing interests.
Actual negotiation of the proposed
agreement is expected to begin as
quickly as the complete statistical pic
ture of foreign textile imports and
their effect on American cotton in
terestS can be tabulated.
Until last year, the United States
enjoyed the greatest percentage OF
the textile business in the Philippines
but the Japanese, utilizing a de-
preciated yen, made a strenuou:
trade drive in 1884 which gave them
the lions share of the market. As a
result, Japan was supplying 52.7 pei
cent of the Islands total imports, as
against 40.5 per cent furnished by
the United States.
During the first eight months oi
1885 Japanese exports have con.
tinued to increase, amounting to 5797
per cent of the market as against 37.1
per cent for American textiles.
