ROSLYN, N. Y., July 1"l—Wl1llam Fox, New York theatrical and movie magnate, was seriously injured in an automobile accident near here today in which his chauffeur was killed and four other persons injured. At the Mineola Hospital where Mr. Fox was taken. it was said his condition was-not critical.

Would Weaken

Imp. Sentiment

OTTAWA, July l'l. —- Hon. Phillip Snowdenls asertion against Imper- ial Preferences and of his intention to abolish them has thrown some- thing of a. fire cracker into omcial circles at Ottawa. Hon. R. B. Ben- nett's call to an Imperial economic conference having been taken up by Mr. Snowden, the new Chancellor's repudiation of the preferences may have a curious backﬁre. y

Every country in ‘the Empire has been protecting its home industries. particularly Australia. Even free trad: England iound it necessary af- ter thorough enquiry to establish some measures ofprotection. Can- ada established the Imperial prefer- ence system by giving Great Britain one third of! her duties, but there could be no similar return because there were no British duties.

TORONTO, July 17.—DOllbf, that Hon. Philip Snow-den, Chancellor oi the Exchequer in the new Labor Government oi Great Britain, will be able to supply convincing argu- ments ss to the fairness oi abolition oi Imperial preferential tariffs was expressed by Sir Thomas Wilite. Canadian, financier yesterday. when asked for his views on Mr. Snowderrs published statements, Sir Thomas stated that wiping out of the prefer- ence will only materially weaken the existing sentiment in the Dominions in favor oi the preference accorded Britain.

“I trust that he will, upon. appli- cation, reaiiu that a. vast amount of good will towards Britain and a powerful sentiment in favor oi Im- perial unity lies at the basis of the preferential tariffs enacted by the Canadian and other Dominion pu- liaments." Sir Thomas said.

“Abolition oi the preferences," he said, “would only have the effect of materially weakening the sentiment already existing throughout the over- seas Dominions in favor of the pre- ferences accorded, with so much loy- al good will to Britain in their tar- iff legislation."

NANKING, China, July 16-1116 Nationalist government at midnight. Just within the ‘three days alloted by Soviet Russia, replied to the latter’: demands in thl Chinese Eastern Railways of Manchuria dispute.

The Chinese _made two demands. although emphasizing that they were not counter-demands to those of the Russian note. The first was that the Soviet should release all Chinese im- prisoned in Russia, who were es- timated in an earlier official state- ment, at 1,000. ‘rhe second was that the Soviet government should ad- equately free Chinese nationals in Russia from aggression and oppres- sion.

TROOPS MOBILIZED

Despite the official statement this evening that “the Nationalist gov- ernment considered the alleged crisis o.‘ comparatively easy settlement," it was learned ton ht that at least 15,000 troops and officers had taken up positions at strategic Manchurian points, and unofficial reports indi- cated ihat a still larger number were moving toward the frontier.

Exodus of Russians from Harbin. . TOKYO, Japan, July i6—Russia.ns lin the vicinity of Harbin and from the surrounding country have begun an exodus in anticipation of grave developments growing out og the Manchurian seizure of the Chinese Eastern Railway. l While no one doubts the serious- ‘ness of the situation here the gen- eral belief is neither China. nor Rus- sia will find it advantageous to re- sort to arms at present and that they therefore may attempt a compromise.

The Japanese newspapers were un- animo in condemnin China's sei- zure of the Chinese Eastern which they consider a. violation of interna- tional law. some papers have assert- ed Moscow will seek Japanese inter- vention but the reports have had a foreign office denial.

some weeks. according to mporrs al- sembled today at Harbin by neutral observers. The Russians cancelled all leaves of absence in the military dis- trict of Siberia weeks ago and began to move soldiers towards various im- portant strategic points along the Manchurian frontier. The command- er-in-chief of the Siberian military district is now Koubisseff, a com- munist, who recently relieved Petin, who is not a member of the party.

Observers lay the Russians have been paying considerable attention to the organization of Mongoliaru into regular troops under Russian officers. For months Russian forces in Siberia have been gradually increasing, there being now at Chita. several divisions varyinl in eastern military parlance from 4.000 to 20,000 men. ‘Ihore are four battalions and an aviation squadron at Blagevystchensk.
