Geneva, Jan. 29-(AP)-Great Bri-
tain. France and Russia were report
ed today to have agreed to extend
economic and financial aid to China
in her war with japan, provided the
United States would cooperate. Com
petent League circles said the three
major League powers had determin-
ed to follow such course either with
or without approval of the League
Council.
Polish decision to block passage
bv the Council of a resolution OF AID
led the three powers to take the po-
sition that such measure was unnec-
essary. The resolution passed by the
League Assembly October 26, 1885, was
deemed sufficient to justify the AID TO
China
The October resolution said, in part,
that the assembly:
Expressed it's moral support Ioi
China, and recommends that members
of the League should refrain from

ROOSEVELT AIMING
AT BASIC ABUSES
Trying to Rectify Big Bust
ness Practices Ante-Dat-
ing His Birth
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIumnist

Washington, Jan. 29.-Big business
in the United States undoubtedly is
a vast deal decenter today than il
used to be.
Time was, up to a couple of genera
ations ago, when financial and indus
trial buccaneering was pretty general
in our country. We were young then
and did not realize how serious 9
national situation our economic mani
pulators were running rs into. In
some few folk reached the conclusion
that conditions were becoming intoler-
able right where they lived, they did
not stop to fight it out in that locality
they went west, pre-empted home
steads and founded new communities
more to their own liking. Gradually
civilized eastern greed followed them
up and largely gobbled them, but if
was a slowish process; the pioneers
were unaware that it was proceeding
until it already was fairly well ef-
fected.
Theodore Roosevelt was the first
statesman to call attention to the fact
that our frontier was gone; that there
no longer was any place for individual
enterprise to find refuge.
'Dirty Work" Done.
By that time big business had done
it's basic "dirty work..
It had it's stocks fundamentally
watered, it's valuations inflated to the
bursting point.
Railroads especially were over-capi
talzed, hut so was big business gen
orally.
Corporations were trying to made
money at two or three times the rate
that they ever had had cash invested

SHANGHAI AREAS LIMITED

A Japanese Embassy spokesman an

and Liuhong, to the north of the city.
Japanese a week ago announced
foreigners would not yet be permitted
to visit Marking, although foreigners
already there were allowed to stay.
The embassy did not explain the
new restrictions, but they apparently
resulted from combination of cir
cumstances: the wish to avoid posi-
BILE incidents" military activity in
the areas, and efforts by Chinese
guerilla units to disrupt Japanese sup
DIV lines about Shanghai.
A Japanese spokesman said there
would be no further announcement on

heimer and the S1885 house in Min nesota were not built according to farmers orders. They were built on a design carefully worked out by FSA. Sach was one of a number of houses in a resettlement project, mass production in limited way. A portable sawmill was hauled up to the site of the community and it cut rafters, joists, flooring and staircases according to pattern. Then a foreman took over, got a couple of farmers and nailed the house together atop a concrete foun- dation.
 FSA says the houses are sound will last many years and give good service. Altogether, 10,363 houses have been started by FSA and ap- proximately half are finished.
 As a matter of fact, the two houS- es mentioned above are high priced jobs. In the deep south, where less weather proof structures are requir- ed, costs are far less.
