French Seek to Meet

conclusion"
NJ Daladier summoned his cabi-

Friday replying to French-British
proposals to bring Russia into a
mutual assistance accord. The chief
difficulty was to meet Soviet de-

Estonia, and Finland, who have
neither requested nor desire such
protection. Russia has accepted
the principle of mutual assistance
Some anti-Moocow sections of the

Chinese Misuse
Of American Flag
Charged by Japan
Report Also Asks U. 5. to
Prevent MiIitory
Use Of Property
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, June 5.-Japanese
made public today a report which
had been submitted to United States
officials citing number of cases
of alleged misuse of American flags
and property by Chinese troops.
The report expressed the Nays
regret that Owing, unfortunately,
to numerous cases of damage to
American property as result of
bombing by naval aircraft since jan
uary, Americans appear to have
gotten the impression that the Jap
anese Navy is ignoring property
rights of third powers"
1t declared that Japan was taking
all possible precautions against such
damage, but that this sometimes
was difficult due to Chinese misuse
of the American flag. The japanese
produced photographs allegedly
showing a pillbox constructed in
front OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Nanchang and wire en-
tanglements in front of an Ameri-
can oil plant at the same place.
The report requested Americans
to take all possible precautions to
prevent Chinese from using their
properties for military purposes or
from constructing military estab-
lishments nearby.
Japanese announced that two
transports left Hankow for Shanghai
today, bringing 18 foreigners the
japanese Army had prevented from
making the trip in British vessels.
The foreigners included an Ameri-
can Vice Consul, a French Consul
and three other Americans.

Association Charges
Action Infrinees on
Freedom Of Speech
By the Associated Press. .

BY the Associated Press.
The National Association of Broad
casters asked the Federal Com
munications Commission today to
set aside new regulation, effective
November /, which would limit in
ternational broadcast stations to
programs promoting good will,
understanding and cooperation"
In a letter to Chairman Frank r.
McNinch of the F. C. c., President
Neville Miller of the Broadcasters'
Association charged that the regula-
ton infringed upon freedom Of
speech, was contrary to this Nation S
foreign policy, and was an arbitrary
assumption of power not delegated
by the Communications Act.
Mr.. Miller urged that the regula-
ton be withdrawn and that opera
tors of IA international broadcast
stations be given an opportunity to
testify at public hearings. Most of
the stations direct their programs
chiefly to Latin America.
If the F.. C. C. Is empowered to
restrict programs broadcast from
this country for foreign reception to
those which reflect the culture Of
this country" and promote interna-
tional good will, Mr.. Miller asserted.
1T would seem equally appropriate
to require Government supervision
and censorship of all matters con-
tanned in American newspapers cir
culated abroad which use the
facilities of the American merchant
marine or the second-class mail for
delivery"
At the State Department, where
the ruling was reviewed before pro-
mitigation by the F. c. c., a spokes-
man said it was needed to put
international broadcasts on a basis
similar to that within the United
States.
Heretofore, international broad
casts have been on an expert
mental basis. minus advertising

after. these stations must show, If

newal, that their programs have

Chamberlain DELAYS
Commons Statement
On Soviet Pact Talk
Consultation Required
Before Answer to
Note Is Drafted
Rv the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 5.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain told the House
of Commons today that the latest
Soviet note would require considera-
ton before he could make state
ment on British-French efforts to
bring Soviet Russia within their
mutual assistance framework.
Informed sources said the Soviet
note was addressed jointly tC
| Britain and France and, therefore
required consultation between the
two powers before an answer could
be drafted.
Britain received the note last
Saturday, but its contents had been
foreshadowed by the address OF
Soviet Premier Foreign Commissar
Vyacheslaff Molotoff May 81 to the
Supreme Soviet, Russia's parlia-
ment, in which he raised objections
to the British-French proposals.
Acceptable Formula Sought.
Authoritative sources said London
and Paris were seeking a formula
acceptable to Moscow, particularly
with respect to Soviet insistence on
safeguards against possible indirect
aggression against her through her
neighboring Baltic states.
Mr. Chamberlain answered af-
f1rmatively when he was asked if he
contemplated some statement in
the very near future" after con-
sideration of the Russian stand in
the protracted negotiations.
Laborite Ernest Thurtle inquired
whether the Vatican had made rep
reservations against conclusion of a
pact with Russia.
Il am not aware of any," the
prime minister replied.
He told a questioner that under
the present circumstances he did
not think a suggestion that he
should visit Moscow to pursue the
negotiations would serve any useful
purpose.
Laborite David Adams asked Mr.
Chamberlain whether, lin view OF
his public declaration before the
Munich conversations, that it was OF
great benefit for the heads of states
to confer personally, he (the prime
minister) has considered or will con-
slider the desirability of making an
official visit to Moscow
Soviet Points Studied.
Moscow's latest note in the pro-
tracted negotiations has been re-
ceived and the government has been
studying the Soviet points, which
include acceptance of the principle
of mutual assistance but also guar
antees for Estonia, Latvia and Fin
land.
A reliable source said the latest
Russian terms were mot likely to
cause much trouble and that Mos
COW had suggested a three-power
pledge to help each other if the
independence of any of the sigma
tories were threatened directly or
indirectly.

New Dealers Await
Roosevelt 40 Plans as
Garner Enters Field
Decline to Discuss
Candidates Before
President Acts
- the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
In the wake of word that Vice
President Garner would seek the
Democratic presidential nomination
in 1910, New Dealers today took the
attitude: Wait and see what the
President does.
While the Chief Executives sup
porters professed to have no infor-
nation as to whether he would seek
a third term, they argued that un-
til he discloSeS his intentions, it is
futile to talk about other candi-
dates
Il agree with Postmaster General
Farley" commented Senator Schwel-
lenbach, Democrat, of Washington,
"that it is foolish to discuss the
names of other candidates until the
President has made known his per-
sonal Intentions"
Friends of Mr.. Garner disclosed
Saturday that he had decided to let
his name go before the convention
next year even if the President
should seek denomination.
Garner Forces Busy.
A r-for-President organiza-
ton already is operating, managed
by E. B. Germany. Texas Democratic
chairman, and Mrs. Clara Driscoll,
Texas national committeeWoman
The organization has Mr. Garner S
blessing, it was reported reliably, and
is preparing to extend its activities
throughout the country.
Mr.. Gamers supporters are eX-
pected to wage an active campaign
for convention delegates in State
primaries and conventions next year.
The Vice Presidents name probably
will be entered in the IL States
which use the primary system for
choosing delegates, and his lieu
tenants will work for Garner-in-
structed delegations in the States
which have the convention system.
Mr. Garner himself has had moth
ing to say about the nomination.
One well-informed Senator, ask
ing not to be quoted by name, said
word of Mr.. Gamers candidacy was
circulated now in an effort to offset
talk of a third term for Mr. Roose-
welt. This talk has come from such
high administration lieutenants as
Secretary Ickes, who told reporters
yesterday at Albuquerque. N. Mex:
IF the Democrats want to nomi-
nate man who is sure to win,
they'll name Mr.. Roosevelt
1t is generally believed here that
the President will not make known
his attitude toward a third term for
some time. To do so, many of his
hackers declare, would weaken his
position as party leader.
