posal.
Despite three hours of negotiations
yesterday between ENJOYS of the two

here to be deadlocked. Officials
frankly regard it as critical.
The tensenoss was held to have been
aggravated by the new charges of
Soviet aggression as they came after
Manchukuo warned the Soviet gov
eminent any further invasion would
result in drastic measures" for the
defense Of Manchukuan territory
The warning was issued with the
full approval of the japanese cabinet
which was called into session by Pre-

what was regarded as a Russian re-
fusal to recognize the joint japanese
and Manchukuan protests.
As the cabinet met, members of the

government break off relations with
Russia Immediately.
The formal demand was served not
only on the premier, but on Foreign

Mitsumasa Yonai. minister of marine.

Japan, as the only stabilizing power
In the Far East, cannot swallow the
illegal outrage committed by the
Soviet. 1t should manifest its fun
damental diplomacy, based on inter-
national justice, by an immediate rup-
ture of diplomatic relations with
Russia"

armies were taking all measures to
meet any attack, their positions and
strength were held close military

More than q dozen units of the

with formidable forces of infantry
backing them up.
Another report said that the in

command was considering moving its
Headquarters from Kha to

situation there
1t was understood here that Marshal

Administration leaders predicted
Senate approval today of the S85,-

and sharecroppers become farm
owners.
The measure faced, however, the
possibility Of fllibuster tactics from
foes of pending bill to limit the
length of freight trains Supporters
OF that bill hope to get it to vote
before the Senate begins its prospec-
tive long argument over the court
bill.
The Bankhead tenancy bill, like
that passed by the House, calls for an
initial $l0000.000 outlay, followed by
a $25,000,000 expenditure next year
and $50,000,000 in 1910. The House
voted for farm purchase loans direct
to tenants, however, whereas Senator
Bankhead, Democrat, of Alabama
proposed creation of a farmers home
corporation to buy lands and sell or
lease them.
Administration supporters voted
down an amendment by Senator
Connally, Democrat. of Texas, to
authorize an annual expenditure of
