smiling visitor from China's Land Of
-Four Rivers. Szechuan, where, 1900
miles west Of Shanghai, his wife and
two children sit. secure for = while
At least from the japanese armies.
suggested yesterday that America
hasten the end Of the war in his
country by putting the pinch on
Japan economically.
To more than 800 persons, includ-
inb members Of Congress and other
leading citizens, at luncheon in the
auditorium Of the National Press
Building arranged by the Washington
Committee for Aid to China, Col.
Tchou said as he opened a three
month lecture tour Of the United
States:
I'VE in China expect your co-opera-
ton. but it Is up to you to choose the
method Of cooperating. I might.
however, 60 so far as to say that II
you didn't supply Japan with foreign
exchange and the necessary materials
Of war, in three months her aggression
would be halted, because by that time
she would be suffering what you are
calling here a recession
Once ChianE's Secretary.
Col Tchou, who was introduced by
Mrs. Eugene Meyer and the Rev. Rus
sell ]. Clinchy. pastor of the Mt.
Pleasant Congregational Church, pic
tured Japan as rapacious super i'm
perialist who had better be curbed
right now or the story OF the bombs
bursting in the air over Soochow and
Shanghai and Marking might be re-
told OF the cities In the Western
hemisphere.
Col. Tchou once was the private
secretary Of Gen. Chang Kai-shek,
but he is here simply as a citizen
pleading the cause Of his fellows and
not as an oficial speaking for his
government.
Legislators Sit With Him.
Chairman McReynolds of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee and SEN
ator Thomas, Democrat. of Utah, a
member Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, were seated with
Col. Tchou at the luncheon table.
The visitor spoke in the clear English
he learned in Belgium before he went
to Scotland years ago to study en-
gineering.
Despite his appeal to the United
States to do something before Japan
gets out Of hand. Col Tchou calmly
assured the throng that China most
certainly would triumph in the end
over the invaders. who, he said, will
meet resistance every foot of the way
into the Chinese interior. There, ac-
cording to the speaker. China will
treat the invading soldiers as the
Russians dealt with Napoleon's armies
at Moscow.
Col. Tchou will make So more lee
lures in this country before he re-
turns to China. The tour was planned
before hostilities opened last July.

Forces TO Beat War Ref
erendWm Scheme.

! The Roosevelt administration rallied
| its forces in the House against the
proposed constitutional amendment
to require favorable vote of the
people before the Government could
declare war.
Secretary of State Hull wrote
Chairman McReynolds of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee:
After the fullest consideration,
am satisfied that this plan would most
seriously handicap the Government in
the conduct OF our foreign affairs
| generally and would thus impair
disastrously its ability to safeguard
the peace of the American people. F."
The House is scheduled to decide
tomorrow whether to consider the war
referendum amendment, which his
been proposed by Representative Lud-
low, Democrat. of Indiana.
In indianapolis National Comdr.
Daniel j. Doherty. declaring he spoke
for the American Legion, said the
Ludlow amendment would tend to
destroy our whole plan of national
defense and without question would
invite war"
He said such an amendment would
hinder the State Department and the
delay caused by a referendum would
"Jeopardize the safety of the Nation" ="
Secretary Hull's letter came as the
climax to the growing pressure CAM
paign' at the Capitol, both for and
against the measure.
Supporting the oposition, Millard w.
Rice. legislative representative of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, last night
sent a letter to every member of the
House, urging them "decisively to de-
feat this resolution"

all, with ordinary wall paper glue.
The latter has recently been re-
duced In price so that an average room.
with about 500 square feet of wall
space, can be veneered for about $3.50.
This Is about one-third to one-half
the cost Of the canvas-backed type,
which Is in turn only half as expensive
as solid wood paneling. 1t Is said to
last for 20 years. so that even If you
pay twice as much for it as wall paper,
you won't have the recurrent redeco-
rating problem.
Ten varieties of wood are offered
regularly, with additional veneers pos
sible on special order. You will be
interested in the new light tones:
Avodire, natural maple, light syca-
more and satinwood, so popular now
adays. There are also the darker
Oriental woods, walnut, dao, mahog-
any, and tigerwood, while lakewood
is a coppery shade.
The walls should be sandpapered
and all cracks pointed, before apply
ing the veneer. If they are very un-
even, they should be lined with build
ing paper or with muslin, before hang
ing the thin wooden sheets.
