Ku|angsu Dispute
Dead|ocked as japan
Refuses 10 Bulge
Reports Of Foce-Sovine
Compromise Denied
By Both Sides
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May 20.-The three
to-one contest of the powers over
Kulangsu, tiny foreign settlement Of
Annoy, continued tonight and both
ddes denied reports that face-saving
compromises were imminent.
The Japanese naval force, whose
landing May II brought on the test
with the United States, Britain and
France, showed no signs of with
drawing, although outnumbered ex-
actly three to one by the 1876 men
landed by the other three nations.
United States naval authorities
here declared they had reserved
complete independence of action
without making any proposal to
Japan. They said United States
forces were landed to protect Ameri-
can interests. and only that con-
sideration would govern their ac-
tions.
Island Settlement Quiet.
The island settlement in Annoy
Harbor was quiet tonight, although
Japanese warplanes we're reported
to have raided several communities
inland, APPARENTLY ip an attempt to
crack Chinese control along the
South China coast.
Financial circles ascribed a fall
OF the Japanese yen on the Shang-
hal market to new low in relation
to the Chinese dollar partly to the
Annoy situation. Foreign bankers
said that yen exchange was in
such position that any disturbing
factor was reflected in its move
ments.
The yen was worth 95 Chinese
cents. 1t was not the first time
1t had slipped below equality with
the Chinese dollar but on all pre-
vious occasions the support of big
japanese banks had sent it up
again.
Dispute Over Relief Bars.
Denial in Toxic that japanese
naval forces in Chinese waters had
prevented the landing of foodstuffs
and medicines financed by the
United States Red Cross for relief
Of Chinese civilians evoked testi-
mony to the contrary in responsible
quarters here.
A foreign office spokesman in
Toxic denied specifically reports
that japanese had prevented Red
Cross supplies from being landed
at Ningpo, in the Hangchow area
south of Shanghai.
THE ship carrying the supplies
was subjected to a routine examina-
ton" he said, but when it was
okayed the Japanese actually as
sisted in the unloading"
Officials in Shanghai said that
transport of the Ningpo shipment
had been obstructed by the Japan
ese and the goods were in a ware
house here.
Repeat Charge Shipments Prevented
American relief workers and busi-
ness firms here supplying the pro-
visions reiterated previous asser-
tons that their shipments were be-
ing retarded and in some cases pre-
vented by the japanese navy These
sources added that the Japanese
controlled Chinese customs authori-
ties now are refusing export permits
for such goods.
Furthermore, a Japanese spokes-
man who announced May that
Japan would prevent third-power
relief organizations from supplying
food and medicine to Chinese refu-
gees in cities under attack, reiter-
ated the policy.
He said the japanese navy saw no
reason for permitting succor to reach
"people we are fighting"

Bailey Can't Get
En- Back on Farm
After Canal Work

Imperial dam and the All Ameri-
can canal. heralded as Imperial
Valleys greatest boons since the
Colorado river water originally was
brought in, Thursday was blamed
for spelling a great many agricul-
tural laborers.
Directors Russell Bailey of the
State Employment service said
many men who had worked as ag-
ricultural laborers all their lives,
were able to get constitution work
on the dam and canal during the
last few years. Now that no more
work is available on the two huge
projects, he said, many of the work
men refuse to accept work in ag-
riculture.
"These men are not genuine con-
struction men," Bailey said, "and
do not get top rating in the con-
struction bracket. They belong in
agriculture. Their ambition is adj
mirable but they must realize the
work on the dam and canal Great
ed an unusual situation which was
q benefit to them. Now they will
have to adapt themselves TO nor
NAL conditions and accept the jobs
available in agriculture"
He said many of the eX-canal
workers this week refused to ac-
cept work in the carrot fields and
insisted upon waiting for construc-
tion work.
