He left Paris by plane. ostensibly

Federal Spending Drive Gains Headway
JAPANESE, STALEMATED IN
NORTH CHINA DECIDE ON BIG
SOUTHERN CHINA INVASION
Occupy Island Dominating
Coast Of French
Indo.China

SHANGHAI, June 23.-(UP)-
Japan has decided finally on big
scale invasion of southern China,
and the coincident occupation OF
Hainan island which dominates the
coast of French Indo-C China, mill
tary quarters reported today.
Dispatches indicated that farther
north, there was a stalemate. Vel
low river floods had forced a re-
treat by the Japanese on the CEN
trail front, Persistent rains, conse-
quent minor floods, endless ma
chine gun pillboxes, hundeds OF
mines, a dozen obstructive booms
and 80 Chinese divisions seemed to
have halted the new drive toward
Hankow along the Yangtse river.
Hongkong dispatches said today
that Japanese warships were heav-
lily Smelling the coast near Swa-
tow and that there was every ex-
pectation that landing party
would be put ashore to occupy
Swatow at once. .r-.... -.
A campaign in the far south
would take Japanese operations
600 miles farther south and would
mean war front extending more
than 1900 miles from north to
south and more than 800 miles
from east to west-a total, area
of more than 100000 miles.
But in international Importance
the possible occupation of Hainan
island off the south China coast
overshadowed anything else. The
island is OF almost incaiculable
strategic importxpee In that IL snat
5nly HES off FIX Aeh 1ndo Chins
but that it TANKS the ocean routes
from the Indian ocean to China via
British Singapore.
Comments from Japanese sourc-
es make 1t clear that Japan would
expect France to protest strongly
If the islands were occupied.
Japanese forces have occupied
Namou island, Off Swatow, under
a protective barrage Of 10 warships
and in face of ferocious Chinese
resistance.
It was indicated that the Japan
csc hoped to effect a split between
the Chinese government. and the
aCnton area, so that southern Chi
nese leaders would form q semi-in-
dependent government Of their
own. Foreign observers expressed
doubt that this hopewould fructify
and the alternative would be a big
scale attack on Canton.
In the north, 1t was indicated
that Japanese operations were not
going we'll. Chineseguerrillas were
attacking strongly in southern
Shansi province, in western China.
There was guerrilla fighting from
northeast of Peiping to the Man.
chukuo frontier.

DOWACER MAY
GO WITH KING
ON PARIS TRIP
Death Of Countess, Queens
Mother May Change
Royal Plans
BULLETIN

LONDON, June 23.-UP)-
Buckingham Palace today an
nounced that the king and queen
have postponed their visit to
France until July 10 because of
the death of the Countess of
Strathmore, mother of Queen
! Elizabeth.
LONDON. June 23.-UP)-
King George vi is considering
taking his mother, Dowager
Queen Mary, instead of his queen
with him on his state visit to Par
is, because of the death of the
Countess of Strathmore and King
horne, Queen Elizabeth's mother,
il was understood today. -
1t had been asserted semi-offi-
cially that despite her mothers
death, Queen Elizabeth would ac-
company the king to Paris. APP
parentlv enc king had some doubt.
however, whether her sorrow over
her mothers death would per-
nit her to make the visit. .
The king conferred this morn
ing with Viscount Halifax, for
eign secretary, on the situation
and arranged to receive the Earl
of Cromer, Lord CHAMBERLAIN OF
his house.
1t was announced that there
would be no period of court
mourning for the countess but
that the king and queen. and
members of the royal households,
would observe mourning. The
mourning would be effective as
regards household members only
when they were in attendance on
the king or queen.
The king, the queen and the
Earl of Strathmore and King
horne, the queens father, were
at the countess bedside when she
died of heart disease at 2 a. m.
today at her London home.
King George had just returned
to London from two-dayr in
spection of the home fleet off the
south coast when he was called
to his mother-in-law's deathbed.
It was disclosed that when the
king was motoring to the railroad
station at Weymouth, to entrain
for London, Mrs. Helen Willard,
q pacifist, threw a glove weighted
with stones and containing q let
ter to the king at the royal au.
tomobile. The glove hit the hood
of the car and fell into the road.
Mrs. Willard explained after
ward that her Letter asked an in
terview, and particularly asked
him to sign a petition that the
word ."peace" be displayed at all
war memorials. Police dismissed
the incident as trivial and said
that they doubted whether the
king saw the glove.
Queen Elizabeth visited her
mother as usual last night, not ex-
pecting that her illness was to
take a fatal turn. She showed
great distress when she saw her
mother was dying.
It was during an illness OF the
countess at Glamis castle, the
earl's principal seat in Scotland,
that the king met the queen. He
was then Duke of York and few
thought seriously of him as a pos
sible king. This visit of the duke
gave the then Lady Elizabeth
Bowes-Lyon her first experience
as a hostess when she was oblig-
ed to take her mothers place in
entertaining the duke.
The countess was rs. She was a
daughter of the late Rev. Charles
W. F. Cavendish- Bentick, grand
SON of the third duke of Portland.
Through him, the countess de-
scended from two of Britain's
most distinguished families, hte
houses of Vavendish and Ben
