Embassy Tells Britain OF
Desire for $4,000 Tons
Limit on Ships.
Py the Associated Press.

The United States has notified Great
Britain she is willing to abandon the
idea of l8-inch guns. but wants a
limit Of $4,000 tons set on proposed
new super -battleships.
The American Embassy in London
made the notification. informing Brit
ain this country would be content to
arm her new battleships with 16-inch
cannon.
Up to this time the United States
had favored the setting OF no size
limitation on the SUPER -dreadnaughts
on the grounds that Japans building
program was not known sufficiently
to enable her to fix an upper limit.
Great Britain, although saying she
would give due consideration to the
new American proposal, has countered
with a proposition that the upper ton
mage limit be set at 10000.
Previously Asked $4,000 Tons.
This also Is a change of attitude,
since Britain had come out previously
for a limit of $4,000 tons. which is
the size of her biggest battleship, the
Hood.
Americas willingness to limit guns
to a bore of is inches is regarded
as highly important. During recent
hearings before the House Naval Az
fairs Committee. frequent mention
was made of 18-inch guns for the
new super -battleships.
They were said to shoot farther and
with deadlier effect.
Naval officials have come to the
opinion. however, that what such guns
gain in distance and effect when they
hit) they lose, as compared with the
l6-inch cannon. in rapidity OF fire
and accuracy.
1S Inchers Now Doomed.
Since there is no doubt the British
will accept the 16-inch limit. the
l8-inch gun for Americas fleet now
seems doomed, at least for the time
being
The British still have great faith
in l4-inch guns. but they have be-
gun putting 1e-inchers on their new
battleships
The proposed limits would apply
only to Britain and the United States
sipnatories to the London Naval
Treaty, since France. the other sig
natory, is sticking to 35,000-ton ships

/. Of ANTEWARPACT
Hull Calls a Special Press
Conference to Exert U. SIS
Moral Influence.
BY tie Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
The United States Government tried
to keep Central European powers from
each others throats yesterday by re-
minding them that they had given
their solemn word nearly 10 years ago
to refrain from war.
While Europe awaited anxiously the
outcome of Sudeten Germans demand
for autonomous powers in Czechoslo-
vakia, Secretary of State Hull called
a special press conference to exert this
Governments moral influence for a
peaceful settlement.
He said:
With reference to the critical sit
uation involving countries in Central
Europe. desire to say that the Gov
ernment of the United States has been
following recent developments with
close and anxious attention.
Nearly 10 years ago the Govern
ment of the United States signed at
Paris a treaty fthe Kellogg.Briand
pacD providing for the remuneration
of war as an instrument Of national
policy.
Pledge Still Binding.
There are now parties to that
treaty no less than SO countries. In
that treaty the contracting parties
agree that the settlement or solution
of all disputes or conflicts of whatever
nature or of whatever origin they may
be. which may arise among them, shall
never be sought except by pacific
means That pledge is no less binding
now than when it was entered into.
1t is binding upon all of the parties.
I'VE cannot shut our eyes to the fact
that any outbreak of hostilities any,
where in the world injects into world
affairs factor of general disturb
ance the ultimate consequence of
which no man can foreSee and Is liable
to inflict upon all nations incalculable
and permanent injuries.
The people of this country have
in common with all nations a desire
for stable and permanent conditions
of peace, justice and progress and
most earnest desire that peace be
maintained no matter where or in
what circumstances there may be
controversies between nations"
Follows Policy.
Officials explained that the state
ment was issued in line with policy
inaugurated just before the Italo-
Ethiopian war began.
At that time the United States af-
firmed its conviction that the nations
which signed he anti-war pact ought
to consider themselves still bound
by it. Its appeal failed to avert hos
tilities. however.
Both Germany and Czechoslovakia
are signatories of the pact. as are
France, Great Britain, Russia and
Italy.
officials said Secretary Hull's state
ment was prepared independently of
any contact with representatives of
foreign powers.

Toxic Cabinet Shifts Signify
Strengthened Foreign Policy
Opposition to Western P0wers Expected
to Be Sitter With u gaki in
HirOtn's Post.

Japan's foreign policy should be based
primarily, If not entirely. on its rela-
tions with China. 1t says that "a re-
examination OF domestic administra-
ton and foreign diplomacy as whole
has become an important necessity for
unifying the China policy, and most
active diplomatic work is needed" 1t
adds that this is impossible Of the for
eign policy OF the past be maintained,
a policy which sought to please all ma
tions.
Urges Six Embassies Remain.
Basing all foreign policy on the
Japan-China situation. the Hochi ad-
vocates that only six embassies be re-
tanned. at Washington. London. Mos
COW. Berlin, Rome and Hsinking, while
Nanking or Peking would be added
later when a new national government
is established in China. This means
that the existing japanese Embassies
in Paris, Brussels. Istanbul. Warsaw
and Rio de Janeiro would be reduced
to the rank of legations, a rather un-
palatable pill for them to swallow,
especially the French.
The Hochi would 60 even further
and clear out many of Japan's ablest.
veteran diplomats. replacing them
with younger men who favor such a
reform. but lack the experience, wis
dom, training and restraint of their
seniors. That does not worry the
Hochi. any more than it worries the
younger element in the army. which
is the real motive force behind the
present movement as it is behind so
much else that Japan does during
these disturbed and turbulent days.

Mexican Rebel Is Believed
Wandering in Brush of
San Luis.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 2s.-The fed
eral government today threw infan-
try, cavalry and aviation units into a
widespread search for fugitive Satur-
nino Cedillo.
Cedillo, 45-year-old Mexican Indian
who rebelled eight days ago against
President Lazaro Cardenas, was be-
lieved wandering in brush-covered
hills in his native San Luis Potosi
state.
One army officer expressed belief
the revolutionary chieftain would seek
to escape to the United States. but
officials in the war ministry asserted
his capture was imminent. Cedillo
narrowly escaped capture twice yes
terday.
Hideout Captured.
Gen. Reynaldo Perez Gallardo at
the head of the 35th and 40th regi-
ments of cavalry captured Cedillo's
hideout on Zezontle CMockingbird)
Ranch early yesterday.
The rebel with handful Of follow
ers escaped by airplane. Their craft
was found abandoned later in a corn
field near Estanzuela. 8 miles north
west OF the state capital Of San Luis
Potosi.
The war ministry described as "a
bluff" promise Cedillo broadcast to
his followers, shortly before his ranch
headquarters fell to the federals, that
he would provide them with 5000
horses. The federais intercepted the
message.
A strict estimate Of the rebels still
in the field was unavailable, but Gen.
Genoveno Rivas CULLEN. who went to
San Luis Potosi last night to assume
the governorship. placed the total
at 800.
Some sources here. however, con-
sidered this low because various Of
| ficials had disclosed the government
was trying to induce the surrender of
bands totaling between two and three
times that figure.
New Band Is Reported.
| Michoacan Congressman Jaime
Chaparro meanwhile reported a rebel
band of 800 with modern arms, IN
Guiding anti-aircraft guns and ma
chine guns. was operating in the
Agustinos Hills near the border OF
Michoacan, Queretaro and GUIANA
juato States.
He said federal troops virtually had
surrounded the rebels. The Agustinos
hills are northwest of Mexico City.
The National Railways reported a
rebel band led by Rodolfo Loza and
Ruben Sanchez looted the station at
Rio Verde. so miles east of the city
of San Luis Potosi. Of 2,235 pesos
(nominally about $470D
The date of the attack was not

said the two were negotiating on sur
render terms.

Insurgents Report Capture
of Puerto EsCandon on
Vital Road.
By The Associated Press.

HENDAYE. France. May 2S.-1n-
surgent troops fighting down the
highway from Teruel to Sagunto to-
day reported the capture OF Puerto
Escandon. key to the Valencia coast
Insurgent advices said the troops
p,,shed forward four miles to take the
position whSre strong government
forces had previously checked their
drive from the northwest. Puerto
Escandon is IL miles southeast OF
Teruel and so miles northwest OF
sagunto. junction point on the vital
Valencia coastal highway.
The insurgent dispatches said the
advancing fighters moved on to en-
circle the nearby Escandon and Apar-
icio hills after taking the key point.
Puerto Escandon was described as
"the last important government de-
fense" on the Teruel-Sagunto-Vaien-
cia highway.
Loyalist Attack Costly.
Meanwhile, the government pressed
it's assault against the insurgent front
in Lerida Province at heaVy Cost
of lives.
Insurgents reported only one COM
pany out of a government DIVISION es-
caped death when wave after wave OF
infantrymen sought to storm the de-
fenses of Tremp, hydroelectric power
center AZ miles north of the provincial
capital of Lerida.
South of Tremp tanks and war
planes were thrown into attacks on
bridgeheads guarding crossings OF the
Sepre River to Balaguer. l6 miles
northeast of Lerida, and Seros, 10
miles southwest of Lerida.
Rebel Repulse Reported.
The insurgents were reported to
have given ground in the Vallfogona
zone 3 miles south of Balaguer. South
west of this battle area, on the south
ern side of the insurgent corridor 10
the Mediterranean, insurgents re-
ported gains in scattered flghtlng.
Mobilization of the classes OF 1928
and 1926 by the war ministry IN Bar
celona was expected to bring the total
government men under arms to ap-
proximately 100000.
The classes, which include men 80
and "a years old, respectively. were
ordered to report for duty during the

Czechoslovak imports via Hamburg
in March, 1888, amounted to 3,15O,0Oo
ts109. .408), and in February, 1888, to
1850, 900 ($l37, ,542). For the nrst

first quarter of 1897, when they were
worth 38,230,000 (s1, 1,327,742).
Nazis Use Ports as Pawns.
Together with Czechoslovakia's lack
of confidence in retaining this guar
antee. leading Nazis have not hesi-
tated to say that they propose to use
Hamburg and Stettin as pawns in the
chess game over the Sudeten Ger
mans, the pro-NaZi minority group IN
Czechoslovakia.
As for Trieste, there was much talk
about this port between Reichsfuehrer
Adolf Hitler of Germany and Premier
Benito Mussolini of Italy when the
two met in Rome. Trieste was threat
ened with serious economic conse-
uuences now that the Roman proto-
coils had become obsolete through the
disappearance Of Austria as separate
state.
The CzechoSlovaks now are study
ing two other possibilities. one to
ship their goods via the Polish corri-
dor port of Gdynia, the other to use
the Danube and their Little Entente
ally, Rumania, as their outlet.
A CzechoSlovakian commission al
ready has appeared in Gdynia to study
the possibilities Of this port.
Success Not Likely.
Success seems distant, however, in
view of the strained relations between
Poland and Czechoslovakia over the
alleged i'll treatment of the Polish
minority in Czechoslovakia and over
the charge that Czechoslovakia is
permitting Communist propaganda
directed against the Polish regime to
filter into Poland.
As to the waterway to the Black Sea
via Rumania, this can work out only
so long as Germany recognizes the
decentralization of the Danube,
now in effect.
If she should abrogate this arrange
ment and bring pressure to bear upon
her near-ally, Hungary, not to let
goods be shipped via the Hungarian
section of the Danube, Czechoslovakia
would have . further problem to
| solve.

Czechs at Mercy of Reich.
Iand.locked Czechoslovakia eco
nomically is at the mercy of expand
ing Germany, which can throttle her
easiest and cheapest exits to the sea.
Until Germany absorbed Austria on
March 13, Czechoslovakia. which has
no outlet to the sea, relied upon Ger
man Hamburg and Stettin and Italian
trieste as seaports through which she
could send her goods out into the
world.
The treaty of Versailles guaranteed
Cxechoslovakia the use OF Hamburg
and stettin. Trieste was used under
the Roman protocols regulating rela-
tions among Italy, Hungary and Aus
trta and agreeing that Czechoslovak
goods shall move over Austrian OF
Hungarian railways into Trieste al
preferential rates.
But Germany has disregarded other
clauses Of the Versailles treaty and
the Czechoslovaks now feel that the
treaty offers them no guarantee Of
future use Of the North German ports
And since Germany absorbed Austria
. the Rome protocols have become OBJ
solete.
Trade Drop Noted.
One indication Of Czechoslovakia's s
uncertainty regarding future use Of
Hamburg and Stettin is notable dror
