lays Japanese Ac- tion in North China.

(Ceyyrkht 1035 by The lavas News Agency)

PEIPING, Nov. ‘aid-Carefully- laid plans for the proclamation of an autonomous state in North China abruptly collapsed today and indications were that the autonom move would be delayed indefinitely.

This s ” "develop attributed here to two factors:

l. The Japanese Foreign Office feared international complications might result from moving too swiftly in the separation of North China from the rest of the coun- ry.

2. Major Gen. Kenji Doihara, prime mover of the autonomy reg- ime, found himself deprived of War Office support following as- surances made today at Nanking by General Ohlcnq Kai-Shek, dom- inant figure in ti‘: Chinese Gov- ernment. to Japanese Ambassador Akira Ariyoshi.

Maj. Gen. Dolhara left Pciping hurriedly for ‘ffentsin and was not expected to return at present.

Gen. Han Ftl-Chu. Governor of Bl '5. grew suddenly cold to the proposals of the Japanese mil- itary, and Gen. Shang Cgen, Gov- ernor of Hopei, remained in Pact- ing and delayed his arrival in Peiplng.

Followi lg his meeting with Am- bassador Ariyoshi, Gen. Chlang telegraphed instructions to Peiping to break off the autonomy nego- tiations. In Nanking, Ambassador Arlyoshi announced that, he was “ ‘ ‘ ured" concerning toward Japan.

W08

ly a China's attitude Decisions Secret

Precisely what concrete decis- ions were made by Gen. Chiang which averted the autonomy de- claration originally planned for today were not indicated. But it is known that he and she Japanese envoy discussed the whole question of Sine-Japanese relations, strain- ed in particular recently by Nsn- king‘; monetary measures.

Great significance was attached to the departure for Nankixig of Yin Tung, managing-director of the Peiping-Mukden railway, who has been one of th_e principal nego- tlators with the Japanese in North China during the past two years.

Issues W‘arning

TOKYO, Nov. 20-—(A.P.)—Jap- en's Minister of War said today if the Nanklng Government sends troops to hbrtl-l China to attempt to suppress the autonomy move- ment there, this country "must take action." -

Buch a move by Nanking. the Minister, General Yoshlyuki Kaw-

wshima, explained, "would in- evitably produce a serious sit- nation."

Great Britain and the United

States. he said, however. "need not be concerned by the North China situation, as press dispatches re’- port them to be, because Japans manner of dealing with that crisis will be fair and just. '

"It is unnecessary for other nations to worry about. the sit- uation."

Protest on Part of ‘Fishermen

Another lifeline of Maritime business-the fishery~came in for attention during the day as A- H.

The resolution, held over for de- bate tomorrow also censured the administration for not consulting with the industry before com. pleting the pact.

Birth Shortage Worried France

(By The Canadian Press)

PAHIB, Nov. 20—Fnnce’s de- creasing birthrate is due to take a sharper drop during the next decade, those studying the problem believe-because of the Great War.

There were 1,700,000 fewer births than there would have been nonn- aliy in France, it was computed, ‘ n 1014 and 1910.

Babies born in that period have now reached marrlagesble age, or are nearing it. Their paucity is ex- pected to be reflected in fewer mar- riages and fewer births in the oom- ing decade.

The expected new ,, pulction gap it is pointed out, may result in an- other, though has marked gap, 20 or 25 years hence, carrying the ef- fects of the low Wlffllflg blrthraie many years into the future.

It is the general tendency inward smaller families rather than the war baby shortage, however. that is giving the most concern to those striving to raise the birthrate in France.

Commendation was ‘ ctcd, at the pact, however, by R. J.‘ H. Nel- son of Halifax, the Board's Presi- dent. It was hoped, he declared. that its provisions would be of considerable value to the Mari- times.

Discusslon veered to the tourist industry during the afternoon as P. W.

Terming them the g ‘ possible" tour- ist attractions, he cited the prac- ticability of their establishment by declaring they would be self-liqui- dating. .

He was backed up vigorously by F. McClure Sclanders of Saint John and Stephen Mooney of Andover, N. 8., who called for Maritime unity in pressing for the parks.

As a further aid to tourist pro- motion in the provinces by the sed, Mir. Mooney proposed a cen- tral tourist bureau for all three, financed by money now being spent

Pennsylvania Doctor Adds Fuel To Con- troversy.

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

READING, Pa., Nov. 20 —— Dr. Monroe Clouser, of nearby Fried- ensbufg, added new fuel today to the controversy over "mercy kill- ings," by relating that he had hasten “ the death of at least six incurable patients in the course o! his quarter-century practice in the rural urea near Reading.

While physicians argued pro and con over the question, after Dr. A. A. warriner oi Bridgeport, Conn" confirmed a published story that he had committed a. “mercy kill- ing" 48 years ago, Dr. Clouser as- serted that only the fear of public opinion prevents many doctors from rcveding that they have act/ed sim- ilarly.

“In my opinion." he contended, ‘physicians are frequently called uponto hasten the death of pct- ients whose death is inevitable. However, they never publicly ad- mit it, because they are afraid the public would not understand.

The 52 year old physician said that in each or the half dozen "mercy' deaths of his patients, re- latives of the ill person pleaded with him to “relieve the suffering."

In every instance, he summoned a fel‘ow member of the medical ,.rofessicn, for consultation. “when my colleague agreed with me that the patient was incurable after a thorough diagnosis," he said, “I then administered an overdose of pain-relieving drug."

New Low Level- For Canada’s Meanest Man

A new low level for Canada's meanest man has been set. A traf- fic solicitor for the Canadian Na- tional Telegraphs reports that he was crossing the intersection of Yonge and St. Clair, Toronto, when he saw a wallet lying on the street- car tracks. He picked it up and found negotiable bonds amounting to several hundreds of dollars and currency to more than a hundred. He had just crossed to the sidewalk when a man came dashing over and asked if that was his wallet. He accurately described the contents and the telegraph man handed it over to him. The man hesitated a second. then said, “Come into the drug ‘store and we'll talk it over." They did so, the man ordering two five-cent drinks. when they were placed on the soda counter he jumped to his feet, saying, "I must move my car. Back in a second." He never returned. The Telegraph solicitor paid ror the two drinks.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Nov. 20.- The Bridgeport" Post and Telegram said today that Dr. M. A. Warriner, 80, the oldest physician in the city. related that he committed a ‘mercy killing" in North Brookfield, Mass, 48 years ago.

"Going back to town I talked it over with another doctor. an old army man.
