Bombed By J aps

TOKYO, Jan. 2--(A.P.)-—Japln- cse aeroplanes bombed the city of sustain-van. "his. the Chinese wall reaches down to the on todsy. and fighting which began Sunday night grew heavier as the day wore on.

The Rengo (Japanese) news agency said reinforcements had been hurried up for both sides, but no one could be sure whether this battle was lust another local inci- dent or might lead to general hos- tilities along the Jehol border.

Chinese accounts said Japanese troops opened fire on o. Chinese detachment without provocation. Japanese‘ reports were that two bombs had been found in a Jap- anere police station on Sunday at Shanhaikvran whereupon a. de- tachment of troops was sent to the city to protect Japanese resldcszts; Chinese soldiers tired on the dc- tachment, the report said, and the fighting began.

1t W88 reported this morning that four Chinese troop trains were moving up wrlth reinforcements for Chan Hslno-Liungs regulars who were holding the-trailed city against the Japanese attack. One Japanese officer was said to have been kill- ed at the head of a party which attempted to storm the walls after the gates had been closed. The war office here confirmed reports of the fighting but declined to esti- mate its extent or the possibility of the spread of hostilities.

The Rengo 1:0l'l‘f‘.=p0lld€lil'. at Peiping said Chang Hslao-Llang himself had culled ills General into conference there and that General Hochukuo, commander of the shanhaikwav. garrison had hurried back to his post early this morn- ing. ‘

Says Russia Has Enough Wheat For The Present

OTTAWA, Jil-D. 2. (C.P.)—Soviet Russia will not be forced to import wheat this season, Col. H. J. Mao- Kle announced hers today as the opinion of Peter Bogdonov, chair- man of the Amtorg Trading Cor- poration, Russia's commercial or- ganization in New York. Col. Msc- Kis has been prominent do recent years as an intermediary between Canadian and Russian industrial- lsts.

"I discussed Russia's wheat sup- ply with Mr. Bogdonov a. few days ago," Col. MacKle said. "He said his latest information was that wheat collections in Russia during the past month were above expectations and that his opinion was that Rus- sia would not be forced to import wheat."

Oof. MscKle was drown press le- spatches from Calgary, pmpogmg that Canada barter wheat to Russia for-oil. “I doubt if there is the slightest chance of such s. barter. Although not told so by Amtorg officials, it is my feeling that Sov- iet Russia is more inclined to deal with tho Argentina wbcrs Csnsds and the Argentine meet in com- petition.

OTTAWA, Jan. 3. (C.P.)—Whlle no official comment wss available the new honor conferred by i-lls Majesty on Sir George Parley, is not regarded here as involving any

lnxstlon of Canada's ban on tit- lea. Sir George was already a Knight and entitled to the title “Sir." His promotion from Coni- mander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George to Knight Grand Cross of the same order is s. dis- tinctlon but curried with it no new title.

For this reason it is considered as on a. par with honors conferred on untitled Canadians, including Pre- mier R. B. Bennett which carry no ttlle in their names. The ban on titles consists of a resolution poss- ed by Parliament requesting His MsJssty not to confer titles on British subjects resident in Canada and stands until revoked by Parlial

.r\ is rt definite limit to its cap- acity to produce impressive net calming-s no limiter how economical may be the administration, Mr. lfttngcrford points out in a lengthy l‘uVl0\V of the effects of the econ- omlc depression on the railways op- crntions and financial structure.

A strict policy has been followed in rigid curtailment of expenditur- es on new capital works and of us- ing as far as possible the stocks of lrlatcrial on hand.

"These and other factors," said Mr. Hungcrford, "have brought s- bout a reduction in the cash re- quircments o1‘ the railway covering the your 1932, and in consequence the government will be called upon to furnish for the needs of the railway n much smaller sum than bl i031."

Since 1928, when an nil-time peak in railway revenues in this country was touched, the trend of railway earnings has been steadily down- ward, Mr. llungcrford points out. The total decline 1031! as compared with 1928 amounts to approximately $150,000,000 or 48 per cent. For every dollar the Can- adian National received in 192B, it received in 1932 only 52 cents.

Strict measures of economy have been put into effect since 19297 with the result that the staff at the present time is approximately 31

the totul payroll is 39 per cent be- low the 1029 level. Salary and wage cuts have effected s. reduction in payroll account of about 810,000,000 a. year. '

Oixerating expenses of 1932 were $l00,000.000 under those of 192B. In 1932 revenue declined about $38,- 000,000 nnd expenses showed a re- duction of $43,000,000. For every dol- lar decrease in revenue from 1031, the railway system reduced its expenses by $1.13.

"Despite the drastic economies put into effect," Mr. Hungerford says, "the opcraihig efficiency of the Canadian National System has been maintainczl at a lcvcl consistently in accord with better times and in oc- cord with flint of other large rail systems on the Noah Amerbnn continent."
