FAR EAST EMBARGO
MAY BE INVOKED
Washington, Jan. 11. State
department officials said today
that it would be difficult for
President Roosevelt to refrain
from invoking the American
neutrality act should Japan for
mally declare war on China.
This, measure prevents ship
ments of war supplies to both
countries whenever the Presi
dent decides a state of war ex
ists. According to some observ
ers, who report that Japan has
greater facilities than China for
making munitions, invocation of
the act would aid the invaders.
Officials studying the far
eastern conditions said that they
were encouraged by the house
refusal to consider the Ludlow
war referendum proposal, which
President Roosevelt declared
"would cripple any President in
his conduct of our foreign rela
tions." s' ;-
Leaders in the house said the
administration's foreign policy
had been strengthened by the
209 to 188 vote and at the same
time appeared well for any new
naval construction which might
be recommended by the Presi
dent.
Observers stated that the pos
sibility that Japan might seek
to impose against all foreign
shipping in the war zone would
be the most crucial point in
volved if a formal declaration
of war against China comes up.
During December, the state
lepartment licensed the export

to Japan and $290,632 to Chinas

AIRLINE DISASTER
KILLS TEN PEOPLE
Bozeman, Mon., Jan. 11.
The disfigured and charred
bodies of ten persons rested un-j
der the blanket of an icy" bliz
zard which followed the crash
and burning of a giant North
west Airliner in the Bridger
mountains yesterday.
Piloted by Nick Mamer, who
had flown more than 1,000,000
miles without injuring a pas
senger, the plane went into a
tailspin and plunged nose-first
into a small cleannsr. The lm-
-
pact with the frozen ground
snapped the nose from the rest
of the craft.
Although the searchers found
all aboard dead, the storm forced
them to give up the task of re
moving the bodies today. A
guard was left at the scene of
' the crash.
Gallatin county officials said
snowplows would open the roads
as soon as the bodies'; are
brought down by bobsled. !
L. A. Larson and Glenn
White, woodcutters, were work
ing only about 200 feet from' the

After a heated and lengthy
discussion that delayed two
other bills on the calendar, the
Dialectic senate last night, by a
vote of 16 to 11, expressed its
disapproval of the proposed
Ludlow amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States.
The Ludlow proposal, if
adopted, would require a na
tional referendum before decla
ration of war by congress. The
bill discussed by the Di last
night read: Resolved, That the
Dialectic senate go on record as
approving the Ludlow amend
ment. .
Bill Defended
Senator Cochrane took the
floor first to defend the bill. He
and his colleagues pointed out
that such an amendment would
take from the administration
some of the ' power that might
be used against the wishes of
thV -neonle. "and, at the same

New angles on Willis Harri

vealed yesterday to clarify the
situation.
The facts brought to light

emphasized that he was not at
tacking individuals or charging
anybody with graft, especially
the present administration; but
he pointed out that the possibil
ity for graft in the future
should be eliminated. '
No Rule
(2) President Bob Magill of
the Student council revealed
that .there was no rule, in the
campus code which specifically
delegated authority to handle
invitation transactions to the
senior class president.
(3) President Joe Patterson
of the senior class said that this
year's contract had already been
signed. Under terms of the con
tract, the Charles Elliott com

The retail price to students will
be decided by a committee of
