'opon door' in Mnnrhnria."
The Chinese apokpsnmn assorted
that the eventa in Mnnchuria were
tantamount to a military coup d'etat
in Tokio.
"The Japanese military clique," he
said, "seem inxisteiit upon undermin
ing Chinese authority in Manchuria
and particularly upon the elimination
of Chang Hunch-Liang (governitr of
Manchuria and vice chairman of the
executive department of the Chinene
nationalist government) from control
in Manchuria. If this is endorsed hy
civilian elements alsf , it can also lc
interpreted as an extension of the
notorious twenty-one demands which
Japan forced upon China in 1915."
Shouse Favors
Wine And Beer
WASHINGTON. Sent. 21. C4)
A democratic platform declaring for
light wlnos and beer and n prohibi
tion referendum Is fnvored by .Touett
Shouse, chairman of the party's na
tional executive committee.
Other legislation which he would
havo democrats advocnte in tho com
ing session of congress includes aboli
tion of the farm board, tariff revis
ion, re-ennctment of the Wagner bill
to establish employment offices na
tionally, the five-day week for federal
employes and opposition to the use
of the injunction in labor disputes.
Shouso said the party should pledge
Itself for a prohibition referendum
by offering a substitute for the
eighteenth amendment. Congress first
would have to pass the substitute.
Shouse held however, ih voting on It
the members "need not voice personal
endorsement'' but could "merely state
a willingness to offer the people the
chance to pass judgment in the
knowledge that unless and until rati
fied by three-quarters of the states,
the substitute can not be effective."
Ho urged Immediate" amendment of
the Volstead act to legalize light
wines and beer, contending the beer
tax would yield immense revenue and
employment would be provided for
several hundred thousand Idle men.

he said, "even though limited In ex

Heavy Withdrawals.
The present f'riwis came about
through heavy withdrawals of foreign
rredits from the Bank of England.
The official statement issued by the
lit itish government suspending the
gold standard states these withdraw
als amounted to around $ 1 ;tf00,000,000.
"Huns' on the Hank of Kngland
began last July 25 when gold to the
amount of ? 145,500.000 was with
drawn from the bank in a few days.
The gold . reserves were depleted to
the legal minimum.
Gold withdrawals continued, most
of the metal going to the Hank of
France which was building up huge
gold reserves. Finally the Hank of
France joined with the New York
federal reserve bnnka in extending a
credit of $-'50,000,000 to stabilize the
pound sterling.
on August tne moor govern

by J. Ham cay MacDonald. A fhort
time later another credit from Faris
nnd New York wns arranged. This
one amounted to $400,000,000. Most
of $100,000,000 advanced by America
had tccn used up in an enort to

Inasmuch as France had taken paft

that country discontinued its policy of
gold withdrawals. However, smaller
countries, notably Holland, (Sweden
and Argentina, continued to tnko gold
ou such a scale that the .withdrawals
sapped the strength of the Bank of
England and it was finolly compelled
to suspend temporarily the gold basis.
Act is suspenaea
The section of the gold standard
act suspended rends as follows:
"The Hank of England shall bo
bound to sell to any person who makes
demand in thft behalf at the head of
fice of the turtle. During office hours
of the bank, and pny the purchase
price of i'A 17s lH$d (about $10)
per ounce Troy of gold of the stan
dard of fineness prescribed for gold
coin by the coinage act of 3870. but
only in the form of bars containing
approximately 400 ounces Troy of
fine gold."
Suspension of this elnus means
that gold shipments from the Bank
of- England will cease at once.
To bolster up her reserves, tne
Bank of England raised its discount
rate from 4 to 6 per cent effective
today.
