TU BOARD TO COT EXPENSES State To Deny All Emergency Appropriations For Expenses Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. I—(UP)1 —(UP) —ln a move to stabilise municipal budgets during the 1938 Calendar year, the state tax board today announced that thereafter it will deny all emergency appropriation requests for general operating expenses. In a letter to county auditors through-sit the state, the board pointed out that budgets now advertised and in iprocesa of adoption locally take into consideration all the available funds as of Aug. 1 and include them in their calculation of expenditures tw a 17-month period. ■ Emergency appropriation requests tor general operation expenses, if adopted, would ho affect the regular budget by depleting the balances and any other unappropriated funds that it might render the tax rate for the succeeding year inadequate,” the board advised. In accordance with the tax limitation law as panned by the 1937 legislature, the only appropriations which can be made by municipalities outside the regular budgets include those made necessary by fire, flood and .ether major disasters, the board stated. Also included as emergency appropriations are expenditures necessitated b Y ‘he state public welfare act, enacted during the 1936 special session of the state legislature.

INTERVENTION BY (CONTINUED agents. “If the war lasts six months, and China continues to offer her present vigorous resistance, the betting is better than ever that Moscow will be in." one diplomatic expert said, pointing out that Soviet rule in Eastern Siberia will be based on Japanese toleration alone once the Japanese army has consolidated its position in north China. Britain, too, was seen as a factor in the situation and it was believed that Moscow would receive at least indirect British support if Stalin should decide to take a hand in the Chinese-Rus-sian affray. There is no confirmation of. reports that the Russo-Chinese non aggression pact announced this week in Nanking and Moscow is reinforced by secret annexes which provide that China shall recognize Russia's dominance in Sinkiang. in return for Soviet muni-

their fairs, both from the exhibitor as well as the sightseeing standpoint. Unusually familiar with fair work, after 29 years as secretary of his home county fair, and sev- . eral years as member of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, Mr. Morris expressed a feeling today that the Indiana State Fair, Sept I 4th to 10th, inclusive, will be the outstanding exposition in the 85 years existence of the Fair. farmers are enjoying an unusual crop this year, and out-of-state exhibitors are going to find competition unusually keen when they attempt to wrest top honors from the Hoosier produc- ■ ers, Mr. Morris said. Livestock breeding has im- I proved in quality each year and the interest created through Boy j and Girl Club work exhibits over ■ the past several years is beginning to tell now, he said.

should not enter under the conditions then existing." "However," Roper added, "tension has been relieved and It Is my opinion that merchant vessels will be given access to those waters.” Roper said he based his opinion on the “fact that the Japanese government has very definitely stated that their embargo will not be enforced against other nations than China. “Os course, the American government, through the state department, must proceed upon a daily or well-nigh hourly basis, dependent upon the developments as they occur, and especially such developments as affect the interests of our trade and our people.” “What will the government do if the Wichita, carrying Bellanca Anesl to China, is stopped by the Japanese blockade,” Roper was asked. "The Wichita is a vessel owned by the federal government but leased to American citizens," Roper replied. "It is therefore not under the management directly of the federal government. "Under their own statement, we have no reason to believe that the Japanese embargo, will lie enforced against vessels which arc bona fide under the supervision of citizens of this nation. "In view of the reported fact, however, that vessels have been 1 found to be falsely operating und- ' er our flag, it would not be surprising if the Japanese would carefully scrutinize to see that the vessels are not flying under false colors.”
