ley, acting secretary of the navy,
who said the vessels had the ap-
proval of President Roosevelt and
the budget bureau.
Debate on the bill which began
yesterday, was resumed at noon but
it was not until five hours later,
when the battleShip clause was
reached that the fight developed.
Within a few minutes boyiSh Rep.
Vito Marcantonio. R., N. Y, and
Rep. Carl VinScn, D., Ga, were
facing each other across the cen
ter aisle, waving their fists and
shouting.
Marcantonio had just offered an
amendement to strike out the
battleships, which was defeated.
He offered another aimed at the
same result.
There is not a single iota OF
testimony justifying the construc-
ton of these battleShips,' he
shouted. 1T isn't a question Of
81 100000 to start them Once
the keels are laid we must COM
plete construction or throw away
$4,000, ,000-and if we complete the
vessels the cost will be 100000, 900.
Vinson replied that the replace
menst are necessary for defense.
This committee is doing what
congress authorized it to do he
said, namely to bring the navy
up to treaty strength. OF course
it is not mandatory on the COM
mittee but there is a vital ne
cessity for an agreement between
the great maritime powers. Efforts
by the United States in the past
toward this end have been a great
failure"
Marcantonio's second amendment
was voted down 76 to 25, and a
somewhat similar one by Rep.
P. Koppleman. D., Conn.
met a like fate. Then Marcan-
tonic moved to send the bill back
to committee-a futile gesture that
was defeated 212 to 73.

CANTON SNUBS
JAPANESE IN
NEWCRISIS

CANTON, China, June 16
QN.S0.-A new SinoJapanese
crisis was threatened today when
the Canton government refused
point blank to accede to the Jap
anese conSul-generalS request fol
suppression of anti-Japanese &C
tivities.
The refusal followed a series of
mass anti-Japanese demonStra'
tionS in South China and collapse
Of Northern and Southern Chinese
army commanders negotiations.
The Canton message indicated
continued opposition to the Nam
king determination to end the
southern provinces semi-auton-
omy. Restoration of free speech
and the right of the people to or
ganize themselves into patriotic
societieS"-in other words, anti
japanese groups-was demanded.
Refusal of Marshal Chang Kai-
Shek to draw back any of the
more than 100000 soldiers he has
maSSed in Human revealed his ap-
parent decision to march into re-
bellious KwangSi province.
Equal belligerent immovability
was displayed by the KwangSi
generals. Their troops entrenched
themselves along the fortified
line reaching from Kiyang to
Yungchow, near the southern
frontier Of Human, but still within
enemy" territory. and an ulti-
matum was sent to the Marking
headquarters threatening a battle
