U. S. INVESTIGATES
NINE POWER PARLEY
Washington, Oct. 8 Return
ing from his Western trip, Pre
sident Roosevelt called a special
meeting of the cabinet and diplo
matic advisors to consider the
position of the U. S. so far as in
ternational efforts to stop the
Sino-Japanese xwar are concern
ed. The United States has not yet
received a formal invitation to
participate in the conference but
Secretary Hull indicated that
she will cooperate with all peace-
loving nations.-.
-Following this decision was
the state department's formal
denunciation of Japan as a vio
lator of the nine power pact

tions. It was suggested abroad that
the United States act as host
lo the nine-power conference.
However, there was no official
discussion of this point.
