NOTE, PAVING
PEACE PATH.
misrepresentation
Takes Firm Hand
In Action

BRUSSELS, Nov. 6. (UP)
Japan was asked by 10
nations today whether she
would listen to proposals to
mediate the Chinese Japa-.
nese war.
The invitation was extended tc,
Japan after a bitter wrangle had
threatened to develop between the
chief democratic powers and Rus
sia on one hand, and Italy on the
other.
Japan was asked directly whether
she would establish contact with
the conference, with a view of
starting peace negotiations.
The conference adjourned until
Tuesday.
Vigorous Italian insistence for
representation on a proposed SUBJ
committee to approach Japan-in
event Tokyo accepts the note
also was expected. Italy was an
xious to be represented, but Nor
man H. Davis, the American dele
gate, showed little enthusiasm for
her.
Davis repeatedly asked Anthony
Eden, British foreign secretary, and
Yvon Delbos, French foreign min
lister, whether Italy had been
useful member" of the interna-
tional non-intervention committee
to mediate the Spanish war.
Davis killed all efforts to bury
the conference after dispatch of
the message to Tokyo. He propos-
ed that the conference reconvene
Monday but Italian ENJOYS object
ed, saying they could not see what
the delegates could do.
Davis replied that the conference
was called to do more than draft
message and had a great deal
OF work to do. Most of the small
powers supported him and the
conference agreed to meet on Tues
day.
Davis also succeeded in block
ing appointment of a mediation
committee for the time being. He
expressed fear that if it were ap-
pointed now, the conference would
adjourn and probably would never
reconvene.
The message to Tokyo upheld
the right of the conference to in
tervene, citing article seven of the
nine power treaty providing for
consultation among signatory pow
ers when difficulties arise.

Headed by j. j. Pelley, president,
the American Association of Rail-
roads asked Is per cent horizon
tai increase in freight rates except
on soft and hard coal, lumber, sug-
ar, fruits and vegetables, and a
hike in passenger rates in the east
form to 21s cents a mile.
There can be no such thing as
full recovery from the depression
until the railroads can earn ade-
quate revenues to meet their needs, "
Pelly said in a statement. He con-
tended that rail costs have been
sent sky high by a 40 per cent in
crease in prices of materials and
supplies since 1882, by an 18 per
cent increase in wages and by a
25 per cent increase in taxes.
Should the commission grant
the increases" Pelley said, "The
public still would pay less for
freight and passenger transporta-
ton than before the depression. "
Maximum increases proposed on
commodities excluded from the
horizontal increase included: BIZ
tuminuos coal and coke, Is cents
per ton; anthracite coal, 25 cents
per ton; lumber, cents per 100
pouns; sugar, Is per cent; fruits
and vegetables, IS cents per 100
