Mr.. Roosevelt mentioned Smith

New York. Smiths name was al

Wagner, but even so booS broke
through the applause. What
would have happened if the Presi-
dent had waited to give emphasis
to it is a matter for conjecture.
The President charged that
the issue of Communism raised
against his Administration was "a
red herring" and after calling at
tention to his personal and politi-

trust of the "gentlemen's agree

pressed today by the Senate FL

tions have delayed parliamentary
approval of the franc devaluation

they will not again under-cut the

mittee.
Bans "SOciaI Reform
All the social reform" features
of the bill passed by the Chamber
of Deputies must also be dropped,
Gardney declared. He said:
"The statements of England
and America contain absolutely
no guarantee of gold parity.
More precise engagements from
them are necessary"
Revolving against "dictatorial"
powers the bill would have given
the leftist government, the COM
mittee threw out proposals for
price regulation, increased salar-
les, and compensation for those
supposedly hit by devaluation.
Gardney pointed out that the

created new ones.

CHINA MAKES
DEMANDS ON
JAPAN
Troops Instructed
To Meet Force With
Force; Hint War

SHANGHAI, Sept. 80 G.N.S).
Unexpectedly striking back at
Japan, China today took a leaf
from Nippon's book and presented
four demands to Tokyo.
Chinese troops were reported to
have been instructed to meet
force with force"
Markings demands:
/. Guarantee Japanese forces
will not treSpass on Chinese soil
in the future.
2. Japanese withdrawal from
Fengtai.
3. Suppression of smuggling Of
japanese goods into China. GA
pans counter proposal is a reduc-
ton of Chinese tariffsD
4. A free hand for China to
deal with the East Hopei provin-
cial autonomous government.
Japan'S famous "21 demands"
that Baron Kato imposed on
China in 1915, causing a world
wide storm, have been intensified
in some cases and revived in
others in mine demands" now be-
ing made on the crippled Chinese
giant.
Representing virtually complete
domination of China by Japan, the
new demands call for japanese
military and civilian advisors for
China, and autonomy for the five
northern provinces. Cooperation"
for the suppression of communism
would enable Japan to maintain
more troops in China and drive
a wedge of bayonets between China
and Soviet-dominated Mongolia.
Japan stands ready to enforce
her wishes by army and navy
action, as indicated by a series of
conferences here, in Manchuria
and China, by army and navy lead,
erS, from which foreign office au,
thoritieS were significantly barred.
With special dispatches from
Shanghai declaring that China
has already rejected the demands,
and is determined on armed re-
Sistance against Japan" the de-
mandS as laid down in Marking
by Ambassador Shigeru Kawagoe,
are:
l. Compensation and apologies
for the series of murders Of jap
anese in China, and punishment
Of the men responsible.
2. Permanent guarantees Of
peaceful SinO-Japanese rela-
tiOnS.
3. Dissolution of anti-Jap-
aneSe organizations.
4. Elimination and future pre-
ventiOn of all anti-JapaneSe
propaganda, in speeches, posters,
and school textbooks.
5. Removal of anti-JapaneSe
officials now holding Chinese
posts.
6. Definite solution of ques-
tiOnS relating to japanese avia-
tion privileges in China.
7. Reduction of import duties.
s. Sterilization of HOpei, Cha
har. Suiyuan, Shansi, and
Shangtung provinces. The news
paper Nichi Nichi today says
this means conversion of the
five northern provinces into
special JapaneSe-Supervised
zone.

ACT ASSA|LED
AS HASTILY
WRITTEN
Compulsory Insurance
Provisions Raped by
10th Century Fund
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
TOPEKA, Kans., Sept. 80
UN.S0 S0.-Governor Alfred M. Ian
don today made public devastat-
ing blast on the social security act
by the Twentieth Century Fund, a
subsidiary Of the F'ilene Founda-
ton, in support of his Milwaukee
attack on the law.
The Twentieth Century Fund,
constituting some Of the nations
best-mown economists, praised the
Federal-State "old-age assistance"
section Of the law, but assailed
the compulsory insurance provi-
sions, which Landon denounced.
The economists demanded the law
be rewritten, declaring some OF its
original sponsors were now its
leading critics.
They agreed with Landon that
the law had been hastily written,
was poorly drawn and should be
modified Immediately to make it
workable. They also concurred in
his finding that the proposed huge
50,000-million-dollar reserve fund
was wholly unnecessary, should be
eliminated and old-age pensions
provided upon q "pay-aS-yOu-go"
basis.
Plans Speeches
After literally announcing he
would appoint nonpartiSan Cabi-
net If elected President, Governor
Landon today began drafting one
of the most momentouS speeches
Of his campaign-his Chicago ad-
dress, in which he will reveal his
plans for balancing the Federal
budget.
The Republican nominee will
speak in Chicago the night of Oc-
tober 8. On the same trip, he will
deliver major addresses in Cleve-
land, October IL, and in Detroit,
October IA.
His advisers were working upon
the itinerary for the trip, which
will include rear porch" talks by
Landon from the Sunflower Spe-
cial in Missouri, Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and Michigan cities. He may
even start the tour in time to visit
several cities in Oklahoma.
Hamilton Statement
Landon's discussion Of his
Cabinet arose when he was
questioned about the statement
Of the G. o. P. national chair
man, John D. M. Hamilton, that
the Republican nominee "win
not make his campaign manager
the Postmaster General" Ian
don declared Hamilton's state
ment was correct and added:
at is my intention if elected,
as / have indicated, to select
the most competent executive
1 can find to draft for the
position of Postmaster General
in order to put that depart
ment on a business basis"
But Governor went further than
that.
Can't Hold Two Jobs
He declared it did not matter
whether his choice was a Demo
crat, a Progressive or a Repub-
lican $50 long as he fills the bill"
He added:
zone thing is certain. No man
an be a member of my Cabinet
and be q member of the Repub-
lican national committee at the
same time"
In drafting his budget speech,
Handon will follow the theme laid
down in other addresses during
the campaign. He has pledged
himself to continue Federal relief
to the needy unemployed but as
serted the cost could be reduced
by turning the Administration
over to the States and Slashing
the huge payrolls given political
exploiters."
He also has promised to pay
benefits to farmers on the por.
ton of their surplus crops sold
on the domestic market The
cost, his advisers have asserted,
C,;lI ha less than the present Ad-
