Minister of Finance: Gen. Ho Ying
Chin, Minister of War, and other
notable. He had been i'll since
May IL.
Lin Sen became President of China
in 1882, when he succeeded Chang

all his time to preparing the army
for the war with Japan.
In America Many Years.

fornia, where he received his early
education, remaining in the United
States for many years.
He returned to China shortly after
the revolution in 1911 and was elect
ed a Senator, serving in the first
Parliament in 1912. He was elected
to the Koumintang Central Com
mittee in 1924 and after the 1926
revolution was appointed a member
of the Chekiang division of the Gen.
trail Political Council. In 1881 he
was elevated to the presidency of the
legislative Yuan, succeeding Hu
Han-min.
Despite the relative political un-
Importance of the presidency, his
age, his dignity and his interest in
China and its problems, particularly
those Of the youth of China, had
made him great national figure.
Three Days Of Mourning.
Lin Sen left political testament
expressing confidence that his
countrymen will continue to act as
one man in accordance with the
bequested teachings of the father of
our republic and under the guidance
of the generalissimo, and will each
and all make greater exertions to
fulfill their duties to the nation"
The enemy" he added, must be
driven Off
The Presidents body will lie in
state until pm. today when it will
be placed tremendously in casket.
At that hour a three minute silence
will be observed throughout China,
all traffic will halt and a 101-gun
salute will be fired in the capital.
Nationwide mourning was de-
creed and all places of amusement
will be closed for three days. Me-
mortal rites will be held throughout
the country Saturday.

Axis Economic Pact
In Glowing Terms
Agreement Soid to EnobIe
Fullest Exploitation Of
Three Nations Resources
BY the Associated Press.

os tne hsSoCldtcu FIehs.
Signing of new economic treaty
among Germany, Japan and Italy
was announced last night by the
Berlin radio, which quoted the Ger
man Foreign Office as saying the
pact would enable the Axis ito
exploit to 100 per cent the war po-
tential of the tripartite powers with
a view to winning ultimate victory. i"
The broadcast was recorded by
the Associated Press.
The treaty also will serve as a
basis of permanent collaboration
after a victorious termination of
the war" the broadcast declared.
The pact, to run concurrently
with the 10-year military pact of
September 81, 1910, provides for
extensive interchange of goods in
addition to financial and technical
cooperation, the Berlin radio ex-
planned, passing lightly over the
Allied blockade which has made
commerce between Germany and
Japan virtually nom existent.
Glowing Generalities Given.
Dealing only with glowing gen.
eralities, the broadcast said:
Although details concerning the
application of the new economic
treaty are yet unannounced, Ber-
lin quarters feel convinced that
German, italian and Japanese en-
gineers and organizers will, to an
ever-growing extent, succeed in
creating preliminary conditions to
carry through the new pact to the
fullest extent and thus bring about
the final collapse of the enemy"
After the war, the announcer said,
the treaty will help to assure the
welfare and development of all the
peoples adhering to the tripartite
pact" by program of mutual and
unconditional assistance:
For instance, Japan, in order
to carry through the development
of her new huge territories, needs

pointed out recently in these dis
patches, that the main subject of
the recent talks between puppet
Dictator Ion Antonescu and Hitler
was the raising of IL additional
Rumanian divisions.
Under the new governmental de-
cree, writes the Budapest corre-
spondent of Basler Naehrichten to-

Plot Of High Nazis
To Retire Hitler
Revealed by Davies
Peace Proposals
Would Leuve Reich
Dominant, However
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-How
| spokesmen for certain Nazi high
officials approached him in 1910
with peace proposals that would re-
tire Hitler, but would enable Ger
many to keep the dominant place
which it had achieved by conquest
of Europe" has been revealed here
! for the first time by Joseph E.
Davies, former Ambassador to
Russia.
Addressing a Town Hall meeting
yesterday; MIR. Davies said the peace
proposals were made to him in New
York by Nazi spokesmen at con-
ference suggested by certain inn
portant civic and business leaders
in this country" whom he did not
name.
These leaders, he said, could not
see the 'cloven hoof' and quite in
nocently, am sure, were used by
Hitler to further his plan to con-
quer the world and ourselves"
Sought Presidents Ear.
Mr.. Davies declared he made 1t
clear to the Nazi representatives,
who carried credentials that were
unquestionably bona fide and
vouched for by some of the finest
banking facilities in this country"
that lin my1cpinion, 1t was an i'm
possible peace" A
They asked that I present their
message and plan to thes President
and to Mr.. Hull" Mr.. Davies said.
This refused to do. I did, how
ever, report 1t to the Department
of State for its information. I"
AT this meeting in New York
these men stated that they were
authorized by high Nazi party and
military authorities to say that they
would make peace which would be
agreeable to any reasonable demand
which fair minded men would re-
quire.
Opportunity" for Britain.
I'm order to make it possible for
England to make peace with other
| than a Hitler government, they
would guarantee that Hitler would
be retired and would devote his re-
naming years to reading and writ
ing as an elder stateman, and that
the proposed peace treaty would be
signed by military or other gov
ernment. whose word Britain could
accept.
On the face of it, their proposal
seemed very fair"
On examination of the specific
terms, however, Mr.. Davies said,
something else appeared, namely,
the condition for this peace which
Germany required, and the price
we would have to pay was that 1t
should keep the dominant place
which it had achieved by conquest
of Europe and be permitted to pro-
ject its new order in Europe without
interference"

of Chile's diplomatic relations with
the Axis powers may be summarized
as 'regrettable. especially for Chile.
This sober and laconic statement
is symptomatic of the general view

out Germany. Chile's decision is
Insignificant as far as German war
strategy is concerned. In fact
Chile's step will to some extent
facilitate warfare in the Pacific,
since now Germany will have no
more to take regard of Chile's spe-
cial interests.
1T is stressed in Berlin that Chile
has no real cause for breaking off
diplomatic relations with the Axis
