Given a large order of business
today by President Hoover, con
gress turned to its task with the
strife-torn senate cleaning up old
unsettled disputes as the administration-controlled
house poised
to prepare for tax reduction.
A silent and listlessly attentive
senate received Mr. Hoover's
lengthy legislative program in
volving numerous domestic and in
ternational propostkrns. As soon
as reading of the annual message
was completed, the senate plung

message occasionally with hand-

plauded the president s wish to

law enforcement and his designa

nation's "most serious issue."
The first division in the sen

extra session in sway again to re

doggedly into this controversy

Prohibition talk was heard in

The American note to Russia and
China reminding them of their
obligations under the Kellogg
pact for renunciation of war can
not be considered by the Soviet
government as a friendly act ac
cording to a memorandum band
ed to French Ambassador Maurice
Herbette tonight by Maxim Lit

The memorandum was in an

cently delivered to Moscow, the
purport of which had found sup

natory to the Kellogg pact with
the exception of Japan.
M. Litvinoff emphasized that
the United States government had
appealed to that of-the Soviet at
a time when direct Mukden-Soviet
negotiations were being carried
on. By strength of this circum
stance the American note to Rus
sia was termed an unjustified at
tempt to influence Chinese-Russian
negotiations and consequent

friendly act.
Direct Strong-arm Methods
Are Preferred by Russians
The memorandum stated that
the Manehurian conflict could be
settled only by direct negotiations
on the basis of conditions would
not tolerate any outside interfer

expressing surprise that the Unit

does not have any official rela

should find it possible to give the
Soviet government advice and di

Collection by the republican

day in a report to the senate for
its patronage committee, which
recommended legislation to forbid
the practice.
Holding that the methods used
in Texas were "coercive, the' re

put "in the seemingly apparent
position, to say the least, of pay
ing oft a mortgage of his federal
position."
No action was taken by the

holders in Texas have contributed
to the republican campaign funds
by signing notes and paying for
certain amounts each year on an
installment basis.
"Meeting are planned," the
report said, "speeches are made,
and a statewide drive conducted

Moscow made its own peace
with Mukden over the Chinese

the nations who had sought the
same end by reminding both Rus

under the Kellogg anti-war pact.

told of the signing of a protocol
St the Siberian town of Nikohk

which the joint control of the

insistence that the former Russian

but reserved the right to appoint
them to other posiions.
Plea for Peace Is
Resented by Russians
The Soviet government, in a
note handed to French Ambassa

that it would not regard as a
friendly act the American note
with reference to the Kelloa-g
pact. It was stated that the note
consltuted "an unjustified at

negotiations coming as it did
when these were already in prog

that the United States, which bas
refrained from official relations
with the Soviet union, should
have undertaken to give "advice
