London, Dec. a.—(AIM—A British warning to Japan against aggression in China, and an overture to Italy to end aggression in Ethiopia, were made today by Sir Samuel Hoare, for eign secretary', as two of the empire’s warships were withdrawn from the M editerranean. Sir Samuel said the situation in North China might be harmful to Japan’s prestige among other coun tries unless she quickly clarified her attitude. "I can only regard it as unfortun ate," he told the House of Commons, "that events should have taken place which, whatever the actual truth of the matter may be, lend color to the belief that, Japanese influence is ex erted to shape Chinese internal po litical developments and administra tive arrangements. "Anything which tends to create this belief eon only do harm to the prestige of Japan and hamper de velopments. which we all desire, of t.he friendliest mutual relations bc • ween Japan and her neighbors und friends." Concerning the British relationships to Italy at thus moment, he pleaded: "Can we not lay aside suspicions and concentrate in the immediate fu ture upon finding a basis for settle ment, making it, possible for the world to return to normal life?" The foreign secretary stated that the British government had no desire to interfere in the internal political affairs of Italy, but wished solely to sec a strong Italian government, of whatever type the Italian people wish, in power." 1C shopping X(J days until; l>Christmas<£ ONLIi DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA.

Those taxes would he adopted by the 1937 Congress, following the election, but would apply to 1936 earnings. It is certain that a large part of 1936 earnings will be ploughed back, into taxes of various sorts. And if the AAA is declared uncon stitutional, the taxes are expected to be larger than they otherwise would be. TAXES DISCOUNTED?

Dec. 5 (AP)—A report decrying what it termed "an effort to project the New Deal into the fu ture <>f America” was presented to the Congress of American Industry today by its committee on the rela tion of government to industry. Presented for consideration of the Congress by C. L<. Bardo, president of the National Association of Manufac turers, the committee’s report said it "had to take exception to the contin uation of the government’s emergency plan of action and proposed legisla tion,” This legislation, it contended, is "an effort to place in our system a series of permanent statutes projecting the New Deal into the future of America.” The committee report added, “We join in the demand made by every enlightened economic organization for the abandonment of the philosophy that prosperity can be produced through curtailing of production, whether in agriculture or in indus try.” TV A Held Illegal By New Brief Washington, Dec. 5. — (AP) — The Tennessee Valley Authority was as sailed as unconstitutional and revo lutionary in a brief filed with the Su preme Court today by James M.

St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 5.-JAP)—The Anti-Saloon League’s drive assumed the proportions of an anti-administra tion move today as leaders celebrated the second anniversary of repeal by predicting an organized dry sentiment would oppose the re-election of Presi dent Roosevelt in 1936. After the League, with delegates from 40 states shouting fervid “aniens,” called upon the President to start a campaign for the return of prohibition by drying up the White House cellar, two of its most powerful chieftains laid the blame for "abject failure of repeal’’ squarely on Presi dent Roosevelt’s shoulders. The repercussions followed adoption by the League last night urging the President to abolish use of intoxicants at White Hou.sc functions and to ac knowledge publicly failure to keep his campaign promise to end the saloon. Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of Los Angeles, who stumped against Al Smith in 1928, wrote the resolution criticizing the serving of liquor at White House dinners. “It’s a poor example for the first on Six*} Pages lb Today TWO SECTIONB.
