wounded in mission hospitals.
They had vainly asked. through
Ambassador Nelson Johnson, that
a safety zone be created in 500
chow for foreigners and the
wounded.
With Chinese forces driven
farther back on their left flank,
and TaitSang and Walking, south
west of Liuho, in japanese hands,
commanders said they were conf
dent of smashing the whole Chi
nese line within 48 hours.
MORE TROOPS LAND
Foreign observers forecast the
capture of Marking before Christ
mas.
While warships covered them
with smoke screens and Shelled
Chinese positions, a large force OF
japanese landed at Paimoku, As
miles northwest of Shanghai in the
Yangtze estuary, and marched in
is miles to create new threat to
the Chinese flank.
Chinese meanwhile rushed rein
forcementS to the front between
Shanghai and Marking in deS-
perate attempt to halt the speedy
Japanese advance.
EXODUS FROM NANKING
Farther south on the Soochow
front, the japanese occupied Quin-
san and 200 Japanese motor-driven
junks entered the lakes east of
Soochow, bearing troops for a
thanking attack there.
If the Chinese find their posi-
tons untenable, it was believed
they will take up new emplace-
ments on a line between Wusih
and Kiangyin, where a boom
across the YangtZe keeps Japanese
warships from proceeding up
stream to shell the Chinese.
A heavy exodus from Marking
is already under way, with steam
ers and BUSES crowded to ca
pacity, but government officials so
far are remaining.
NEARING TSINANFU
ContinuinE their north China
advance toward the Yellow River,
the japanese army occupied Chi
yang, in Shantung, and Tamingfu,
southern Hopei.
The japanese are now only IS
miles north of the Shantung CAPT
tai, Tsinanfu. Japanese COM
manders in Peiping still held out
the hope that Gen. Han Fu-Chu,
governor of Shantung, would sur
render and permit peaceful occu-
patton of his capital.

Ivan MaiSky, Russia's fiery am
bassador, may be gripped in the
current Soviet diplomatic purge"
it was reported today.
Four other high officials of the
London Embassy are also said to
be involved.
DAUGHTER IN DANGER
Maisky is expected to leave for
Leningrad Friday, the Daily Mir
ror said. He might refuse to go,
but he has a daughter in Russia
and thoughts of her safety might
: compel him to obey ORDERS" the
paper said.
Anton Schuster, second secre-
tary of the embassy. has been in
Russia two weeks, said the Daily
Mail and the naval, military and
air attaches, respectively Lev Ant.
sipochikunski, A. K. Sivkov and
Ivan Cheney, have been recalled.
Cheney said he was leaving for
Moscow today, but cannot state
at this stage the reason for my
departure"

DEPENDENCE SHOWN

sixty-five per cent of Japan's
exports go to the United States,
Great Britain, France, Holland
and China, the memorandum is
understood to show.
Japan's gold reserve has been
reduced only 25O,000,000 yen, thus
a boycott would mean quick eX-
haustion of Tokyo's means of pur.
chasing war necessities,
The memorandum also purports
to show that Japan is almost en-
tirely dependent on America, Brit
ain, Holland, and France for oil,
cotton, iron and other material
essential for carrying on war. If
these supplies were cut off at their
sources, DR.. Wellington Koo, chief
Chinese delegate, pointed out,
Japan could quickly be brought to
her knees.

how sanctions by the major pow
ers could quickly cripple Japan

FOREIGN LOANS
ACT REVISION
POWDERED
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

Revision of the johnson Act
may be necessary to prevent
American investors from extend
ing financial aid to nations in
default Of their debts to the United
States.
Chairman McReynolds, Of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
today revealed a study would be
made to determine whether the
act contained a loophole by which
American money could be sent
abroad for the purchase Of securi-
ties issued by defaulting govern
ment.
McReynolds, who sponsored the
act with Senator johnson (R.l Of
California, conceded its phrase
ology already had precipitated
conflicting legal interpretations.
The French governments re-
quest for American aid in flotation
Of its projected ornaments bond
issue focused attention on posi-
BILE deficiencies in the present law.
Under the act, passed by the
House three years ago after less
than an hours debate, it is unlaw-
full to buy securities of default
ing nation within the United
States or any place subject to its
jurisdiction"
Some Administration legal ad-
Visers interpreted this to mean
that securities could be purchased
Gbroad without violating the law.
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau, after q conference with
congressional leaders, disclosed
that the United States had turned
down French request to utilize q
New York bank as fiscal agent to
handle American participation IN
It's forthcoming bond issue.
Morgenthau and Congressional
heads agreed that the act pro-
hibited such a proposal. France
owes this country approximately
$4,000,000 900.
McReynolds, who participated
IN the Treasury C Congressional con-
ference, reported there was q diff
ference of opinion on whether the
law definitely forbids shipment Of
funds abroad for the purchase Of
French securities.
