Britain MobiIizinq
Sea Forces 10 Meet
Crucial Period
1900 Reservists Report
Monday; Summer
Leaves Finished
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 29.-Britain swung
into a huge mobilization of naval
forces today to bring her vast arma-
ments to full strength for the August
and September danger period"
While regulars and reserves were
summoned to duty to place the
fleet at the peak of fighting power,
along with land and air services,
sources close to the government
said Prime Minister Chamberlain
was expected to make a statement
Monday on the British-French-
Soviet talks
1t was said plans for immediate"
military staff conversations among
the three powers would be an
nounced then, along with reaffirma-
tions of desire for three-power
mutual aid pact.
Navy Prepares to Sail.
Officers and men of the regular
navy-back from leaves which had
been advanced a month so the
fleet would be fully manned during
the period regarded as most likely
to produce international tension
set about readying ships to go to
sea. Some 10000 reservists packed
their kits to report Monday. After
an inspection by King George
August 9, reserve vessels will join
regulars in the biggest peacetime
war games in Britain's history.
Reinforcement of naval power
marks another step in the show of
force which the government hopes
will impress Chancellor Adolf Hitler
of Germany with Britain's "sin-
cerity of purpose.
In quick succession Britain has
passed the first peacetime compul-
sorry training bill since CromWell's s
time, begun calling up conscripts
and reserves OF the army, air force
and navy in expectation of having
1,000, 900 men under arms by the end
of the year, speeded the building
of armaments and promised to give
her allies f60,0O0,OOO ($280, 300, ,OOO)

In addition, Britain has initiated
a series of mass aerial training
flights with France and concen-

Big ''Blackout" August 20.
A series of practice "blackouts'

than half of England and covering

Mr.. Chamberlain's declaration that
England would back Poland against
a Nazi coup in Danzig, anti-appease-

Hatch Is Confident
Roosevelt Will Sign
Politics Bill
Some Of Language in
Measure Is Vogue,
President Says
Py the Associated Press.

Ey tIe associated freSS.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico expressed confidence today
that President Roosevelt would sign
his bill curtailing the political activ-
tiles OF most Federal employees, de-
spite Mr.. Roosevelt's assertion yes
terday that some of the language of
the bill was vague.
The President has until Thursday
to act on the measure. If he does
not act by then it will become law
without his signature In discussing
the bill with reporters yesterday, Mr..
Roosevelt said he was in favor of
its objectives but that it raised the
question of what people could legiti-
mately do under its very broad
language.
Senator Hatch said the legislation
was based upon civil service rules
now in force for thousands of Fed
eral workers. He said the rules
were well known and understood.
The rules apply to classified civil
service employees. The Hatch bill
would affect all Federal workers ex-
cept those in policy making" posi-
tions.
Problems Cited.
Mr.. Roosevelt observed that the
bill might be interpreted to forbid
a person to attend a political rally
or contribute voluntarily to the cam
paign expenses of friend.
"Of course" Senator Hatch said,
"an employe could attend political
rally as spectator, but he could not
serve as an officer for political clubs
or attend political convention as
a delegate"
Mr.. Roosevelt said there were
other problems, as to who would en-
force the bill and what would be
done about State and other public
employees outside its term.
The author said that the bills pro-
vision for loss of jobs for violations
would have to be enforced by heads
of various agencies, while criminal
violations would be enforced by the
courts"
The Senator agreed there was 6
problem as to State and other en-
ployes, such as highway employe:
who are State employees but paid II
part with Federal funds. This doe:
not reach them and that subjec,
should be handled by separate leg
islation," he said.
Bill Discussed With Murphy.
Senator Hatch said he had dis
cussed constitutionality of the bill
with Attorney General Murphy anc
was satisfied" He added, "of course
the Attorney General will speak fo1
himself"
Aside from any meaning thai
might be read into the President!
remarks, Mr.. Roosevelt gave no him
! whether he would veto the bill o.
| sign it. A reporter observed thai
, his words seemed discouraging to-
ward the legislation, but the PreSi'
dent said he would not put it thai
way. The bill still was in the study
stage, he added.
The President took along on 6
week end fishing trip off the Vir.
ginia Capes what he called docu'
mentary evidence bearing on thu
legislation. He said he had not ye'
received an opinion on it from At.
torney General Murphy.

Treaty Denunciotion
Scored by Lundeen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
Denunciation of the American
commercial treaty with Japan was
sharply criticized in the Senate YES
terday by Senator Lundeen, Farmer
Labor, of Minnesota
Interrupting debate on the lend
ing bill to discuss international af-
fairs, the Minnesota Senator charged
the administration was iniuring
American foreign trade by its dip
lomatic moves.
"We're supposed to do all the
hating and losing of trade in the
world" Mr.. Lundeen shouted.
"France and Britain don't do it,"
He urged that the Senate protect
American trade with Germany, Italy
and Japan and read export data to
show these nations had been large
buyers of American products.
1--WE have abrogated our trade
treaty with Japan" Mr.. Lundeen
said. II suppose our next move will
be to embargo trade"
Mr.. Lundeen said that a "high
British official told me recently, We
might have war at any time, and
we suppose you good people the
United States) will take care Of
Japan"
Mr.. Lundeen said the break in
trade with Japan and other nations
means a loss of jobs to American
workmen. If that's craftsmanship,
then we need a new definitation of
1t. I can't see why this country
should continually be asked to pull
chestnuts out of the fire for the
great British Empire, upon which
the sun never sets"
At his press conference earlier in
the day Secretary of State Hull said
the United States had not consulted
Great Britain and France prior to
giving notice, of abrogation OF the
treaty. Information was exchanged
with those two countries afterward,
he said, but added that this was
nothing more than the usual ex-
changes he has had with govern
ments interested in peace.

British and Japanese
Face Across Barrier
Following Incident
Burbed-Wire Burricudes
Erected by Nipponese
On Shanghai Boundary
BY the Associated Press,

SHANGHAI, July 29.-British and
japanese troops faced each other
across newly erected japanese
barbed-wire barricades on Shang-
hal boundary tonight as result OF
an incident which caused Japanese
British friction here to flare anew.
Japanese naval forces ran up the
barrier along mile and half of
the British defense sector after an
encounter in which japanese seized
and held four British soldiers for
two hours and a half.
British military commanders pro-
tested the barricade, asserting it was
on territory inside the British zone
There were strong indications that
the encounter held further possibil-
tiles of trouble.
Four Britons Seized.
The friction began when four men
Of the Seaforth Highlander Regi-
ment in a truck entered the jap
anese defense zone to repair barbed-
wire. British officers said the men
mistakenly believed they were in the
British zone.
Quickly men of the japanese naval
landing force - the permanent
Shanghai garrison-blocked off the
alleyway in which the Britons were
working, cutting off their escape.
Then 200 Japanese, working at
high speed. strung three strands of
wire along a mile and half stretch
from Soochow Creek to the northern
limit of the British defense sector.
Panic Among Chinese.
Reports of British-Japanese trou-
BILE running through the nearby
Japanese occupied part of the city
caused panic among Chinese resi-
dents, thousands of whom left that
area.
After two and a half hours nego-
tiation British officers obtained the
release of the men and truck.
The northern and western bound
aries of the International Settle
ment, adjacent to Japanese-held
sections of Shanghai, lie within de-
fense zones held by United States
marines and British Army troops.
The British boundary especially has
been the scene of continual friction
ever since the Japanese Army and
Navy completed occupation of the
Greater Shanghai area In Novem-
ber, 1887.
