Tokyo. Nov. 17 (/P)—General
Mah Chan-Shan, the Chinese com-
mander in Manchuria, has sub-
mitted a set of counter proposals
to the Japanose General Honjo,
dispatches from Mukden said to-
day, hut is standing his ground
south of Anganehi witli no indi-
cation that he intends to with-
d'.aw.
Dispatches from Harbin ear-
lier iu the day indicated that.
General Mah had accepted the
Jiyianose demand that he with-
draw, but the Mukden report of
the counter proposals said he
would tall back only if the
Japanese evacuate the Nonni Riv-
er sector and give guarantees
that General Chang Hai-Peng
stall not be permitted to use the
Taonan-Anganchi railway.
General Mah also repeated his
assertion that he cannot with-
draw all his forces north of the
Chinese Eastern railway because
of the presence of bandits in the
south.
Ask Reinforcements
Meanwhile, it was said that
i Hilary authorities here had de-
iided to ask the cabinet that re-
ii forcements sent to Manchuria
quickly because of tbe increasing-
ly threatening situation there. It
was announced that Lieutenant |
General Nlnomiya, vice chief of
the general staff, will leave for
Mukden this evening "on an im-
1 ortant mission.”
Several air force detachment-
■left Hammatsu, Tachairl and
'Ping wan, Japan, this morning
for Manchuria. The groups in-
< luded scout, bombing and fight-
ing planes, although the strength
of the expedition was not given
It appeared unlikely that the
i ublnet would approve ordering
j,ut fresh troops although re-
ports from two Japanese sources
in Manchuria said the negotia-
tions with General Mah Chan-
Shan had hroken down.
The Japanese feeling Is that the
m.w Chinese terms, although they
are outwardly reasonable, are
"excuses" for Mali's forces to
remain in their present position.
Suggestion for a brighter
America: Take all the Idle gold
from vaults where it appears
to be of no use, plant it in the
great open spaces, and start
another '49 gold rush.
