China Japan Replies to League Proposal Awaited by Delegates
COUNCIL ASKS
INVESTIGATION
OF SITUATION
- |
PARIS Dec 3. (A*)—The League of
Nations' council today awaited notes
from Tokyo and Nanking in the
hope they might serve to reduce sev-
eral formidable obstacles still ob-
structing realization of a plan for
Manchurian peace.
Replies from both governments as
to whether they will accept the Lea-
gue's resolution providing for a com-
mission of inquiry- are still unre-
ccived.
In addition Dr. Alfred Sze Chi-
nese spokesman had asked his gov-
ernment to express its views on the
Japanese proposal that a neutral
zone be established in South Man-
churia and removal of the Chinese
within the great wall. Observers of
neutral governments would have no
part In the settlement according to
this proposal.
Dr. Sze Informed the council mem-
bers that formation of a buffer area
without participation of neutral par-
ties would not consitute a neutral
zone in his opinion but he said he
was willing to lay the pro|K>sal be-
fore the government at Nanking.
PLAN BELIEVED
VNACCEPTABLE
TOKYO. Dec. 3 V -Port
Minister Baron Shidehara today
completed the draft of Japan s
counter proposals to the League of
Nations’ council's Manchurian peace
plan and new Instructloas to Am-
bassador Yoshizawa probably will be
dispatched to Paris late tonight
Tlie counter proi>osals were under-
stood to meet points in the League s
plan which are unacceptable as they
stand to the Tokyo government.
Japan ts standing firmly on Its
demand that the Chinese military
forces must entirely evacuate Man-
churia if » neutral zone at Chin-
chow is to be realised. The solemn
engagement of the Tokyo govern-
ment to observe the neutrality of
this area except where bnnditn
mav require repressive measures is
held to be a sufficient guaranty-
while a neutral control. It to held
could not be accepted by Japan.

Zeppelin Corp under whose di-
rection the Akron was constructed
revealed before he sailed for Ger-
many today that his studies show a
ship three times as large could be
constructed without any sacrifice of
efficiency.
Bigger The Better.
"In fact." he said "the bigger they !
are the better they fly"
Dr. Arnstein w’ho designed more
than 70 of Germany's wartime Zep-
pelins before Joining the American
company explained that during his
trip abroad he will confer with Dr
Hugo Eckner about the long-con-
templated plans for a regular trans-
atlantic and tram pacific airship ser-
vice.
l arger Than Akron.
He said although studies have
shown that dirigibles can be built
larger he does not believe the im-
mediate future will require a type
of ship lor passenger service larger
than 10.000.000 cubic feet. The Ak-
ron is about 6500000 cubic feet.
While in Germany he said he
will watch progress on the German
Zeppelin company's newest airship
the Lz 129. which will be even lar-
ger than the Akron. It was designed
as a transatlantic air liner.

GRAIN TARIFF
CONSIDERED
BY BRITAIN
LONDON Dec. 3. {/Pi—A general
tariff against foreign wheat of
about 9 cents a bushel at the pres-
ent rate of British exchange the |
Daily Express said today has been
proposed by British millers.
The millers also proposed the
Express said that a similar duty be
imposed on unsold foreign wheat
stored in Great Britain particularly
thousands of tons of Soviet grain
lying in port elevators.
The suggestions were made to Sir
Johh Simon minister of agriculture
who is working over the task of ap-
plying to the products of British
farmers the effects of the new
tariff policy recently announced by
the national government as a pro-
tection against so called "dumping'’
of foreign-made goods in Great
Britain
In line with proposals for general
tariff preferences for the dominions
with the empire the millers suggest-
ed. the Express said that the wheat
tariff against importations from
dominions should be fixed at halt
the general rate on that of other
countries.
The rate suggested was four shil-
lings a quarter on foreign wheat
which would be about 9 cents a
bushel and two shillings a quarter
on dominion wheat.

Two Skeletons In

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 3. tff>—’The ’ soft'* i
X-ray reveals that every man has
two skeletons the second an in-
visible crystal structure within his
bones.
•Soft" X-rgys lie between light
and ordinary X-rays. By slanting
them through bones at ail angles
Sterling B. Hendricks of the bureau
ot chemistry and soils of Washing-
ton has completed a long-sought
picture of the crystal skeleton.
The crystal skeleton is the non-
living portion of bones a lattice of
substances mostly mineral which
thread the bones. Dr. Hendricks’
studies show how the minerals are
arranged and explain more clearly
than heretofore Just why substances
like lead and arsenic get into the
bones. Once there they serve as
potential stores of poison.
The bone crystals normally are
