Duke, Rebuffed, Stays in Hotel

PARIS, Nov. 11 Duke of Windsor spent Armistice morning in his hotel today after canceling plans to attend memorial

(U. PD). — The

services at St. George's Church and the Armistice Day parade of the French Army. He declined President ILebrun’s invitation to sit in the Presidential tribune to watch the parade because he feared his presence and that of his American-born Duchess | might embarrass the British or French Governments He staved away from the cere- | monv at St. George's because British chaplain, the Rev. J. L. C. Dart, has announced publicly a few hours before: “Reports that I shall not permit the Duke to attend the service are untrue. I am not particularly | keen about his coming but I certainly have no objection. He asked that a place be reserved for him and it will be.” |

Duke Not Welcome

The Rev. Mr. Dart was quoted as having said also: “I shall not welcome the Duke | personally because he is injecting a controversial element into a servjce which means much to us. I have a certain respect for the Duke because of the good things he did | in wartime. But the attitude of the Church (of England) is most definite regarding marnage and divorce. Marriage only ends before God when it is ended by death.” Ten minutes before ths memorial service started, wtih angry British legionnaires attending, a spokesman for the Duke said: “Everything is all off. The Duke is in the hotel. He is not going to the church or the parade.” British legion men in Paris customarily go to St. George's. This morning, having read of the chaplain’s viewpoint in the English lan- | ouage newspapers of Paris, they gathered before the church angrily. |

one intercepting our operations, regardless of nationality.” The declaration was reported to

have been made by Gen. Matsui to]

Admiral Charles Little, British Naval commander in China. Domei said that.the British had intercepted a Japanese boat transporting supplies toward along Soochow Creek near the Garden Bridge, after Gen. Matsui had informed Admiral Little Japanese intended using the Whangpoo and Soochow Creek.

At a conference with foreign press |

correspondents, Gen. Matsui made clear that Japan might be forced to “take steps” unless foreign powers, ostensibly including the United States. showed inclinations toward “co-operation.” He declared that if the “necessity arises. we will have to take steps to remedy the situation,” and asked

Coup Is Feared By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

Times Foreign Editor

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—Behind

the scenes Japan and Germany are

believed to be pulling every concaivable wire to bring off an old-fash- | ioned coup in China that would restore peace and leave Nippon in virtual control.

The plan would be to oust Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek {from Nanking, substitute some Chinese war lord willing to listen to reason, bring in Nazi Germany as mediator and induce Japan and come to terms. Faithful to her against territorial expansion Japan would merely insist upon the autonomy of North China, the neu- | tralization of the Yangtze delta and | a Government at Nanking that | would “co-operate” with Tokyo. | But the ultimate effect of such a | peace would be to turn over North | Ghina to Japan and make the rest of the country virtually her vassal. | Germany's quid pro quo wonid be | preferential treatment in the Far | East, a strengthened alliance with Japan and perhaps the promise of a | helping of the China pie at some | future time.

‘May Use Pressure

i BRUSSELLS, Nov. 11 (U. P).— | The 19-nation Far Eastern peace conference, pausing in observance of Armistice Day, may abandon all diplomatic efforts to mediate the Chinese-Japanese war and apply “pressure” to Japan, it was learned | reliably today. Leading powers attending | conference have discussed a plan | to furnish China with arms, muni- | tions and credit if Japan refuses to talk peace, the United Press was informed. At the same time it was under-

| stood that the idea of establishing |

a ‘steering committee” to negotiate ; with Japan had been abandoned | because of a growing belief that Japan would flatly reject all peace overtures and because of a bitter difference of opinion between Rus- | sia amd Italy.

To Broaden Scope

The group which met President Roosevelt will continue its conferences and is expected to broaden the scope of its discussion to include numerous other plans being considered to stimulate housing, among which are: 1. Modification of the capital gains tax to provide an exemption for housing profits, and thus free funds for investment. 2. Authorization for national mortgage associations to initiate the financing of housing instead of merely acting as marketing agencies. 3. Reopening of FHA loans [or modernization and repairs. This authority expired in April. 4. Pressure in Congress for constitutional amendment to prevent issuance of tax-exempt bonds with the object of closing this avenue of investment in the future so that funds would be funneled into other avenues, including housing. Important bsiness figures present at the conference yesterday were Gen. Robert E. Wood, president ol Sears-Roebuck; Gerard Swope, president, General Electric; Harry C. Turner, president, Turner Construction Co., N. Y.; S. Sloane Colt, New York banker. The Government conferees were headed by Marriner S. Eccles, Federal Reserve Board Chairman; .J.
