"bassador to China, was understood to be at Hongkong, preparing to leave for Chungking, which was to be the emergency capital of the Chinese Government after the fall of Hankow. At Chungking, British diplomatic representatives were seeking a Chinese escort to take them to Hankow, where they hoped to see Generalissimo Chiang and talk mediation to him, Chiang Leaves for Chungking But soon after this news was disclosed, it was reported here today that Chiang was preparing to leave Hankow for Chungking, in the expectation that he would meet the British Ambassador. The implication seemed to be that this report was correct, that he was going to talk mediation. Reports of the mediation move ht a series of complaints and appeals by Chinese leaders, based on the idea that Chiang must move promptly and effectively to strengthen the defenses of Canton. Eugene Chen, former Foreign Minister, had charged that Gen. Chiang blundered by neglecting the defense of Canton and by taking from Southern China most of its airplanes and its crack troops. Two of the best generals in the Chinese Army, Li Tsung-jen and Pai Tsunghsi, had appealed to Gen. Chiang to take personal command of the Canton defense. When the Japanese landed on the shores of Bias Bay in southern China nine days ago, it was expected that they would soon meet strong resistance. It had been estimated that between 500,000 and one million troops of the Southern provinces, many of them among the best in China, would be in the detense lines. It appeared, however, that the Cantonese leaders had sent most of their best men to aid the National Government on the Central Front.
Militia Proves Inadequate It was reported early this week that 200,000 good Kwangsi province troops were leaving their home bases for the Canton front. But the defense of the entire area seemed to have been left to ill trained troops of the People’s Militia, who suffered frightful casualties in a brave, but hopeless effort to stop the Japanese who had motorized equipment, tanks, artillery, airplanes and machine guns which mowed them down. The triumphant infantrymen of Japan's new South China Army stormed the pill boxes which formed the outer ring of Canton’s defenses this morning, after an artillery bomDard meni which foretold the city’s all. As the ‘rumble of artillery fire reached the city, the last of the high Chinese Government administrative officials fled the city to establish new headquarters at Yungyuen, 95 miles to the north. Retreating Chinese soldiers blew up factories and public utilities of military importance under the Chinese “scorched earth” policy” which is to leave nothing of value to the invaders.
U. S. Expects Trade Pact
Impasse to Be Ended
WASHINGTON, Oct, 21 (U. P.)— State Department officials were
S confident today that the current
snarl in negotiations for an AngloAmerican trade treaty would soon be cleared. They admitted that progress has been blocked nearly a month because of conflicting ideas of the British and American Governments over tariff conesssions demanded by American negotiations on a list of products, including automobiles, hams, lard, bacon, timber and silk stockings. Some progress has been made in subsequent conversations, but the impasse has not been entirely cleared, officials said.
* LONDON, Oct. 21 (U, P.).—It became evident today that if negotiations for a trade agreement with the United States failed, the Government would have to face bitter ‘criticism from the opposition parties. That there was difficulty, and that it was serious, was affirmed in ‘unimpeachable quarters. Sir Archibald Sinclair, leader of the Liberal Party, criticized the Government in a speech last night at Polmont, in Scotland. He said of the negotiations: “The Government will have to face a sharp reckoning from the public if'it bungles the new trade agreement.”

P)-—A conference of the heads of all Lithluanian diplomatic missions in Europe to discuss Lithuania’s position in the present unsettled condition of Europe opened here today.

differences - with Germany and Poland.
Daladier Studies
Election Plea
PARIS, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—Believing that Feuhrer Hitler is eager to establish French-German relations on a better foundation, Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet today instructed Andre Francois-Poncet, retiring Ambassador to Germany, to remain in Berlin another. week. Premier Daladier meanwhile faced the alternative of deciding within three days whether he will dissolve Parliament in response to Rightist demands or form a National Union Government and “throw out the Communists.” As Mr. Daladier’s self-imposed Monday deadline neared, with mounting agitation on both sides, there was no indication that the Premier had reached any decision.

Sir Samuel Hoare
LONDON, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—Sir Samuel Hoare, one of the Cabinet Big Four, said in a speech last night, explaining the Gov- . ernment rearmament program: “Adolf Hitler believes in the peaceful aspirations of Prime Minister Chamberlain but fears some possible successor in office. I believe in Hitler's peaceful aspirations but like Hitler I must be prepared for some successor who may not hold his views. n these circumstances I adopt his own motto: ‘Always willing for peace and at any hour ready for defense.’ ”

‘Persecution Strikes. High, Says Pius; 19 Dead in Jerusalem.
VATICAN CITY, Oct. 21 (U. PJ). —His Holiness Pope Pius XI strongly denounced current persecution of the church in a speech. which he made at Castle Gandolfo yesterday, the text of his remarks disclosed when released today ‘by: the, Vatican. ; The Pope apparently referred to
the anti-Catholic disturbances in Vienna when he mentioned “a certain parallelism at the recent moment” with the times of Nero as well as the Middle Ages when
{Christians were persecuted and held
responsible for acts which they did not commit. . In an obvious reference. to the attack on the palace of His Eminence Theodore Cardinal Innitzer, archbishop of Vienna, His Holiness said: “We must recall that persecution of even the least of the faithful and the least son entrusted by Jesus Christ to his vicar strikes and saddens the Pope. Notwithstanding this, the persecution, together with false accusations, has struck at the holy. purple of a high shepherd.”
Only One Copy
The text of the speech was revised by Vatican officials, after consultation with the Pope, before it was published, because it was worded so strongly. No copy existed except one delivered to the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Pucci, head of the Vatican Press Bureau, which was turned over to-the Papal Secretariat of State on request of the Vatican. Officials said all unofficial versions were highly inaccurate, because most of those who heard the speech were non-Italians and unable to understand exactly his manner of speaking in Haus, The speech was made at e Pope’s summer estate to delegates of the Fourth International Christian Archaeology Congress, headed by

He|__._ a “They are being brought to light in the footsteps and with the spirit It would be better to have left ‘them in oblivion.” With reference to his advancing age, the Pope said: “We would ever be grateful to God if he would give us a good death, which would certainly be rest to an old and by now tired worker. . . . But if we can still do something for the common good, may his will be one.”
Mosque Prayer Period
Halts Jerusalem Fight
JERUSALEM, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—A wave of scattered attacks by Arab rebels on Jewish settlements was reported today while British ‘troops struggled to end sporadic shooting in the old city of Jerusalem. The Jewish settlements in the Haifa, Samaria and southern districts reported shootings, bombings and sabotage. Fighting in the old city had continued intermittently until late this morning, raising the toll to 19 dead and 25 wounded, since the British forces stormed rebel strongholds there on Wednesday. But the
clashes ended as soon as prayers
began in the mosques. ‘British troops had been firmly instructed to avoid interference with religious activities. Maj. Gen. R. N. O’Connor, the military Governor, permitted Arabs to observe their regular Friday prayer in the mosques, although a 24-hour curfew law still was in force and no person was allowed on the streéts without special permit. Attendance at the mosques was limited, however, and troops watched
the worshippers sharply.
