A four-polnt program was presented
for immediate consideration as a COM
mite composed of industrial and labor
leaders and representatives of the pub

in the Social Security Act.
Set up principally because Of criti-
clsm directed at the old-age benefits
provisions of the law, the committee
designated as the advisory council
whose spokesmen emphasized that the
task would have to be approached with
open mind, had these items listed for
early action:
The advisability of starting payment
OF monthly benefits prior to January
l, 1912, the date now fixed; of extend
ing the benefits to persons becoming
incapacitated before reaching the age
OF 65, the minimum set for benefici-
aries. and of increasing less rapidly
the taxes which create the benefit
fund. Tied in which this last item is
the question of the size, character and
disposition of the reserves created for
benefit payments-the major point in
controversy.
The committee met in executive ses-
sion, but before the session opened sew
eral mmbers appraised the situation as
they see it..

TOXIC, Nov. 5.-A japanese foreign
cfice source declared today that Japan
was unable to accept any mediation
whatsoever" in her conflict with
China.
He made the statement when asked
to comment on reports from Berlin
that Chancellor Adolf Hitler had been
asked to act as mediator in the hos
tilities. Despite his assertion, it was
learned that Japanese and German
diplomats recently had conferred with
each other.
Japan does not recede from her
original contention that peace is pos
sible only through direct negotiations
between Japan and China, and then
only II China changes her attitude" I"
the source said.
He added that there has been Con-
siderable discussion" in government
circles regarding formal Japanese
declaration of war against China.
Meanwhile, it was disclosed that
Navy opposition to proposed creation
Of an imperial headquarters" of not
more than six men has been with
drawn. The headquarters" would
assume full power in Japan, taking
over most functions of the cabinet and
parliament. 1t was expected to be
established within a week, indicating
Japan is convinced that protracted
hostilities are inevitable.
A sharp cleavage between official
and unofncial attitudes was apparent.
popular sentiment was strongly for
peace. Neutral sources, however, be-
heved Japan had grabbed tigers tail
IN the Chinese conflict and was unable
to relinquish it and unwilling to admit
she sought means to do so.
