Vandenberg Moves
To Abrogate Amity
Treaty With Japan
Asks Recovering Of
Brussels Conference
To Decide on Violation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican.
Of Michigan offered in the Senate
today a resolution to require that
Japan be given the specified six
months notice of abrogation of the
1911 treaty of amity and commerce
between that country and this.
The resolution also would call for
reconvening of the Brussels Con-
ference of 1887 now in recess, 10
determine whether Japan has been
or is violating the nine-power treaty
pledging respect of the territorial
integrity of China.
AT Senator Vandenberg request
the resolution was sent to the Fol-
eign Relations Committee.
The committee already is consid-
ering resolution by Chairman Pitt
man to give the President power to
restrict the export of war materials
to Japan because of her alleged vio-
latlons OF the nlne-poWer treaty by
discriminating against American
citizens in China.
The committee has asked Secre-
tary OF State Hull to rule on
wheater action contemplated in the
Plttman resolution would be in vio-
lation of the treaty of amity be-
tween the two countries.
Senator Vandenberg explained the
resolution called for consideration of
new conditions that have arisen
since the 1911 treaty was written.
This is no proposal to use an
AK in our diplomatic relations with
Japan he told reporters. 1T is
recognition that new conditions exist
calling for an assessment of these
conditions and the writing of a new
treaty under them"
He said he was confident that the
State Department will hold that
nothing can be done under the
Pittman resolution without denounc-
ing the 1911 treaty. This procedure,
as set out in the resolution, is the
only logical, legal way to proceed"

Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau praised the administration s
$4,000 900, 900 lending bill today as a
real advance toward the goal of
bringing our governmental expendi-
lures within our receipts"
Testifying before the Senate
Banking Committee, the Treasury
head said he liked the idea of lend
ing billions of dollars for self
liquidating projects.
1T may we'll turn out to mark a
transition point in the public
finances" he declared. adding:
If we can substitute -hqui-
dating investments in place of out
right Government expenditures, we
shall have made great step toward
bridging the gap between revenue
and expenditures.
This distinction between self
liquidating investments and nom
recoverable expenditures is not
merely a bookkeeping one, but is
very soundly based.
In the case of non-recoverable
expenditures. the servicing of the
debts created to finance them must
be met out of general tax revenues
However, in the case of self-liquidat-
ing loans such as are proposed in
this bill. the interest and amortiza-
ton payments are met out of the
earnings on the investment.
Didn't Ask Action Now.
The Secretary's formal statement
made no mention of the administra-
tion's desire to pass the bill at this
session instead of waiting until
next year as some legislators have
proposed, but yesterday he told re-
porters he favored immediate action
Mr.. Morgenthau reviewed major
provisions of the bill. These included
items which, over the period of a
few years, would provide $3.50, 900 900
