SHANGHAI ATTACKED

SHANGHAI, Nov. !. (UP)-
The battle for Shanghai roared
with renewed fury Immediately
west of the international Settle
ment today as the japanese ad-
vanced relentlessly in their effort
to encircle the city despite stub
born Chinese resistance.
A Japanese military spokesman
said that Nipponese forces were
pressing southwark after crossing
Soochow creek in the Jessfeld-Ru-
bicon area, advancing behind
deadly barrage laid down by artil-
lery and bombing planes.
The western half of the settle
ment rocked with the explosions
and the rattle of rifle and machine
gun fire was incesSant.
The japanese said that their
aerial observers reported the Chi
nese were retreating from the vii
lagos of Yinsinmiao and Tuchia
as their positions became unten-
able.
japanese planes bombed and
strafed Chinese positions from ex-
tremely low attitudes necessitated
by low-hanging clouds. Many Of
the aerial operations were carried
out at 200 and 300 feet.
British-Japanese relations were
near the breaking point here to-
day following the wounding Of
three more British soldiers by
stray shells from japanese or Chi
nese batteries engaged in a furi-
Gus artillery duel on the western
borders of the Anglo-American
area of the international Settle

out that it is just as dangerous
to drive at a rapid speed at
these hours as at any other time
of the day, and such speeders
may expect to pay fines in city
court.
Officers are continuing their
patrol duties in the school zones
during the hours when children
are on the streets. Special signs
are being used to warn motor
lists that they are approaching
school zones and officers are on
duty during these hours: A
blinking signal light has been
ordered by the city and will be
installed at five points to warn
motorists to drive carefully.

LONDON, Nov. |. (UP)-Brit-
ish Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden today placcd responsibility
for initiative for ending the SinO-
japanese conflict sQuGrcly on the
United States.
Eden said he would travel from
Australia to Alaska for American
cooperation. He discussed ltlay'S
championing of Gcrmany's desire
for African colonies, saying Italy
had no right to ask Britain to give
up anything when she was unwil-
ling to do likewise.
BRUSSELS, Nov. /. up
The United States delegation to
the far eastern peace conference
converting here Wednesday Scrv-
cd notice last night that it will
quickly reject any plan to restore
peace in the orient at the cost of
Remembering China for Japan's
benefit.
Emphasis on the Importance of
Chinas territorial integrity. as
outlined in the ninc-powcr Wash
ington treaty of February s,
1922. came as other delegation
members talked of an "armiStice"
proposal which appeared to be Il
facc-saving device delaying con-
sidcratiOn of the fundamental is
sues of the conflict in the far
east.
The American delegation, led
by Norman Fl. Davis, made it clear
that it would consent only to q
mediation plan which finds full
acceptance with the Chinese.
The American delegates were
pcSsimistic regarding the chances
Of arranging any armisticc, as re-
suit of dispatches from Tokyo in
dicating that Japanese war spirit
is mounting and that more mod
crate statesmen soon may be re-
moved from office.
This appeared to indicate that
Japan's army is determined not
only to conquer all of China north
of the Yellow river and smash
Chinese resistance around ShanE-
hal, but to 90 much further and
destroy the power Of the Nam
king government and of the Kuo-
mintang.
Observers said that the Brus-
sells conference, should it seek to
arrange an armiStice, would be
aiming indirectly to save the Chi
ncsc central government whose
collapse might mean return TO
the chaos which prevailed in Chi
ma before the Kuomintang rcvO-
luton.
1t appeared that if the 10 pow
CrS represented at the conference
are able to bring about a ccsSa-
ton of the hoStiliticS, even though
only temporary, they will switch
the real problem Of far eastern
relations over to another parlcy
called to establish a complete
"new deal" in the orient.
There have been no definite
commitments regarding a second
confcrcnce--a plan suggested by
Britain - but preliminary eek
change of views" showed that
Britain, France and the United
States are willing to approve such
n step.

At Z a. m. today the British W.
Ster Rifles were evacuated from
the entire Jessfcld barracks to a
new barracks at the junction OF
Brennan and Yuyuen roads which
is less menaced by fire from Chi
nese and Japanese batteries.
There was a near panic in the
Nantao area of the native city as
reports spread that the japanese
would attack Chinese troops con-
centratcd around the Shanghai
Hangchow railway station. Thou
sands of civilians began fleeing
into the adjacent French conccs-
sion.
The French mounted additional
machine guns to protect their area
from aircraft. All their anti-air-
craft batteries were manned.

the crushing weight of SIS to AZ de-
feat for his substitute bill which
would have placed the entire burden

His impassioned plea for three prin-
ciples which he said were social Sc
curity no tax on land for State pur-
poses. and no further State taxes at
the present time, fell on deaf ears so
far as the large majority of the House
was concerned. His elOquence fell flat
against the Unconditional matter Of

tons cause by Representative Victor
S. Bryant, of Durham, chairman of
the finance committee.
It was rather a motley crew which

war materials was given as a major
reason for soaring prices of certain
metals and of the shares of war sup
ply manufacturers. Specific instances
of heavy foreign buying Of American
raw materials were cited. Yet it was
plainly stated by an Italian speak that
there will be no European war for
several years at least In fact, short
ages of commodities were forcsaet as
the major incentive FOR Italy or Ger
many to start formal hostilities.
No Time For Pessimism.
F. These were the major subjects I'M
der discussion. Readers can easily
gather from my review of the meet
ngs that the business mans confid-
ence of four months ago has heen
somewhat shaken. The sunny skies of
post-electiOn November have become
overcast. Fears of a business slump in
the late spring are general. However,
now that the conference is over, I
again want to reemphasize my own
optimism. l recognize that the pro-
blems confronting business are seri-
Gus; but l still believe that 1887 aver
age out substantially better year
than 1896. The Babsonchart is cur
rently Is per cent above a year ago
and am convinced that this improve

ment is not due merely to artificial
causes.
The figures quoted above showing
the position of various industries are
significant They plainly indicate that
the durable goods lines are rapidly
approaching normal. That means that
our gain is no mere flash-in-the-pan,
"pre-NRA BOOM" nor any other type
of gun-jumping rally. Our statistics
represent fundamental progress. The
tide of recovery is running strong. I
believe that no one thing can now stop
it. 1t is i@igger than John Lewis fight
to organize the steel industry, and it
is more fundamental even than the
proposals to reform" the Supreme
Court. The Babsonchart is today fore
casting further recovery. This is no
time to be a pessimist. Do not let the
temporary eddies bother you. Row
with the tide instead of against it.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-03-05

While the heavy goods group nave not
vet touched normal as have consumer
goods concerns, they, nevertheless,
show a healthy advance over year
ago Moreover, machine-tOOl bookings,
locomotive orders, and other heavy
industry barometers are forecasting
further big gains.
One speaker stressed the labor out
look. He regards strike possibilities
in coal and steel as the biggest threat
to business this spring. Other dele
gates reported heavy forward-buying
of all types of materials based on
fears of further labor troubles. This
is an unhealthy trend. Arrangements
must protect themselves; but such
buying is simply borrowing on future
business. Spurts, caused by strike
fears are only temporary stimulants.
The effects soon wear off. Business
is then forced to wait for consumer
demand to cut down heavy inventories
Meanwhile, confidence is lost and ac-
tivity suffers in all branches of trade
and industry.
Another Pre-NRA Boom?
One entire session was given to a
discussion of initiation. The consensus
was that the administrations latest
moves have given business men an
other case of filters. Some conference
attendants foreSaw a new NRA up
held by "liberalized" Supreme Court.
Others visioned maximum hour and
minimum wage bills bringing about
sharply higher labor costs. Some
likened the current advance to the

A measure was introduced in the
House to split profits from liquor
stores in Charlotte evenly between the
city and county, if Meckenburg votes

officials have asked county authori-

profits if the counties establish stores
under the new local option law.
Two bills to provide that Elizabeth

The measure is substitute for the

under it Governor Hoey would name
