Italian Envoy Arrives In States For Discussions

Finance Minister GuidolJung States Economic Co-operation

Among Nations

is Dependent

On P0litic_a_l_ Understanding.

By John Lloyd,

Amcciafod Press Stlfl Writer ROME, May 1.—The very definite theory that economic co-operation ung nations is dependent on a Qllitical understanding, is Italys of- ficial attitude today- on the eve of Finance Minister Guido Jung's ar- rival at New York as Mussolinfs en- ycy w the Washington Economic 901i!‘ parlors. i Jung's position at Wtpliington will be strengthened by the fact that Germany is in outspoken ac- cord with Italy on some oi the main yubjccta claiming the world's atten- tion. a Firstly, Italy and Germany stau together on the thesis that it is of prime importance to clear the polit- ical atmosphere. Their views coin- cide in that Mussolinifis four-power- plan, carrying with it the principle oi treaty revision, should be tle ba- sis of any European accord. Secondly, Mussolini has gone on record to the effect that. Interna- tional debts, meaning principally the var debts owed the Unltcd States, mould be paid above all in ex- changes of goods and services. Mere transfers of money, the Duce holds, unacceptable as a means of set- ig the question.

In the Washington conversations Elinor June will have the debt mat- ter uppermost in mind. A clear un- derstanding oi what is to be Italy's obligation in this respect is consid- ered ccessary to stabilize the econ- omic situation. She has a payment

last payment, made in December, was merely of interest and involved $1,250,000.

Thirdly, Il Duce believes most fa- vored nation clauses should be re~ vised. There is too much one-sided profit under the present arrange- ments, he says. He is for a settle- mentahat. would more equally divide the benefits.

He has recently iexnressed the opinion that advantageous trade ar- rangements could and should be made by countries complementing each other in production. l-Is is strongly of the belief that the coun- try which floods another with its manufactured or farm products should take of! the others hands a corresponding proportion oi‘ its ex- ccss production.

Fourthly, Fascist spokesmen have disclalmed any wish by Italy to maintain high tariffs. They have indicated that Italy would be willing to co-operate to reduce tariffs, but have not said to what extent.

Chinese Are Reported To Be Seeking An Armistice With Japan.

TOKYO, ' May 1—Elf0rf§ to bring about the opening oi Sinc- Japanese negotiations for an arm- ilstice, a Japanese foreign office spokesman said today, are being ,made by certain Chinese leaders lthrough both British and United States official channels.

Sir Miles Lampston, British Min- ister and Nelson T. Johnson, Unit-| ed states Minster, have been ap-' pfoached, according to official in- formation, by Chinese with a pro- p"sal for opening peaee- talks.

The Chinese who are reported to

Ibe making these advances are ad-

mitted by the Japancsc to have no connection with Marshal Chang Kai-Shela of tiic blanking Govern- ment, o" his r"pre'entative at Peiplng, General Ilo Ying-Chlng. l These Chinese negotiators de- lsire, the Japanese authorities said, lto bring about a meeting of milit- ary leaders from both contending s‘des, with a view to agresfng to cessation of hostllltms and the establshment. of a neutral zone south of the Great Wall of China. Such a neutral zone, according to a Japanese demand, should em- brace the trlangular area between the Lwan River and the Great Wall, extending 60 miles along the coast and 100 miles inland, and another strip of 10 miles on the coast and extending 100 miles in- land. This area is in China proper.

Soviet - Jap Trouble

Japanese War Office Is Endeavouring- t0

I Prevent Open

Hostilities.

(Associated Press) TOKYO, May 1—The Japanese‘ War Office, discrediiing talk of‘ threatened hostilities between Man. ‘ chukuo and the Soviet Govern-i ment, has taken steps to insure the l verbal controversy over the admin- f istrutlon of the Chinese Eastern Railway shall not lead to a more’

serious situation or involve the. Japanese army. ' Instructions have been sent to,

General Nobuycshi Mute, Japairsi ‘military and diplomatic plcnipc-

,tcntiary in Manchurla, to pour oil

i on the troubled irmters and prevent‘ .the dispute from lcadingto actual

conflict. ' f His influence in behalf of peace,‘ lthe Foreign Office disclosed, will

be employed by General Muto in

hi, capacity a5 Commander-im’ Chief of the army in Manchuria.‘ and not as Japans diplomatic rcp-

resentative.

Japan is concerned for the amlc- ‘ able settlement of the controversy‘ in view of the fact the Japanese

army is pledged by treaty with

Manchukuo to provide military de-

fence for the new state. '

The Chinese Eastern Railway, over which the dispute arose, is jointly operated by Russia and

Manchukuo, the new state having

taken over the Chinese end of the

Sine-Soviet arrangement which

was in effect from 1924 to 1931.

A demand for a revision of the

agreement, according to n. Harbin,

Manchuria, dispatch, has been

made by Li Shoo-Kong, Mnnchukuo

director of the railroad, upon So-

viet officials. Li. announced the

1924 agreement was unfair because

it was made When China was weak and unable to defend her interests and rights in the railway.

The prospect of grave trouble appeared when Soviet Russia re- fused to attend a directors‘ confer- ence for revision of thc regulations of the railway administration, and Manchukuo countered with a threat of "resolute action" if the Soviets continued to reject the new states demands.
