PEEPING, Jan. 24—('I'hursdsy) -Japa.rleu and Manchoukuoan forces on the one hand, and Chin- ese provincial troops on the other. were poised in the dawn today for what was feared here would be c bloody clash at Tnhsikou, in the Chinese province of Chain-r be- yond tho borders of Jeholi western- most section of the Japanese- created state of Manchoukuo.

In the inner Mongolian territory once ruled by Genghis Khan, the Japanese in the past two days have loosed an invading force es- timated to numb 2.000 infantry, perhaps more. supported by arm- lored cars, military and bombing Planes. Rcinforccments were sent last night after an initial Japan- ese repulse at ‘lhlhsikou, and also to Kuyan. '

According to the Japanese the action is aimed u dispersing Chaim!‘ provincial tmqas under General Sun Chen-Yuan from the demilltarized zone on the outskirts at Jehol (Manchoukuo) created by the Tangku truce of last year. The Chinese however fear it is the be- ginning fo a long-rumored Japan- ese attack on Chahar, a Chinese province barren in outlook but

strategically important. Kain-u. apparently the us. ese objective. bestrldicr the d caravan

route between" C ins and Russia. and occupation of Che-bar would dominate the Soviet-Mongolian border.

Hundreds‘ of casualties are rc- ported to have almdy occurred in Japanese onslaughts against Tub- sikou, Guvuan and ‘fungohetm. Late lest night Chinese claimed the attack on Tuhsikou had been repulsed and reports of Japanese reinforcements tended to confirm this.

Ontario Conservatives Oppose‘ Motion Of C. H. D i c ki e To Strike New Canad- ian Flag.

(O. P. By Guardian's Slfilllol Wire)

OITAWA, Jan. 23-—The conten- tious question whether Canada should have a ‘ tinoti w flag will be discussed by members of the cabinet in an effort to end a de- bate that waxed back nad forth for three hours in the House of Commons today with no solution in sight.

when a series of Ontario 00n- servatives took the floor today in opposition to a motion by C. H. Dickie (Cons. Nanaimo. B- 0-) to strike a new Canadian fias with the Union Jack in a conspicuous corner, Secretary of State Charles H. Cahsn appeared in the role of pewemakqi‘. H6 SBid i111! QHGSHOD had been talked out two or three team and rather than repeat that unsatisfactory result, he would discuss the subject with his cah- inet colleagues and rvport back to the House.

The Maritime members who en- tered the general discussion held opposing views on the subject. Wil-

'~ liam Ernst (Cons.-Lunenburg) bo-

lleved something was needed to bind the country together. a flag or a symbol: while J. H. M7011 (Cons-Queens) stated people of Prince Edward Island had never expressed to him any desire to nnvq the flag changed He would therefore have to oppose the mo- tlofi.

Mr. Ernst criticized the attitude of Jinhti R. MacNiool and ‘Ihcmas church, Toronto Conservative members, who hsd boon strongly

Canada, said m. Ernst, was forced to fly the red ensign on the marine flag over its lqoaions be- cause it had no laud flog of its own. He suggested it was silly for Canada to fly a flag in Washing- ton that was not its own.

years.

In addition Mr. Rhodes had good news for government employee. When he tabled the estimates he a ounoed one half of their l0 per- cent salary reduction would be re- stored. This means that for the next year civil servants will receive their normal salaries less five per- cent instead of less 10 percent as has been the case for several years.

Hinco i030 until now declining revenues forced the government to curtail expenses. Each year amounts appropriated by Parliament have shown large decreases compared with the previous year. The de- crease this year is only $931,060 and by the time all supplementary esti- mates are submitted it is expected appropriations for the coming year will equal if not exceed the appro- priations for 1934-35.

The main estimates total $361,- 960,944 as against main and sup- plementary estimates aggregating $352,901,012 voted by Parliament last year.

Public Works increased

The Department of Public Works gets a large increase this year, Ln- dicsting considerable projected building activity. The increase is 84,209,440 which is almost offset by a reduction in interest on the pub- lic debt of $4,150,475 due to refund- ing maturing obligations at lower interest rates.

Departmental

Naval, militia and air services have increased appropriations with the Royal Canadian Air Force re- ceiving a vote of $2,630,000, an in- crease of $700,000 over lest year. The increases for civil aviation, mil- itia and naval services are small. The Post Office Department receives an increase of $550,984, railways and canals, $320,488. trade and com- merce. $230,662 and agriculture, $403,896. The appropriation for soi- dier and general land settlement is reduced by $442,309, management

by $207,520.

‘The latter decrease is accounted for largely by a drop of $140,000 in the expanses of House of Commons committees. Last. session was re- markable for a large number of committees holding long sessions. This session that type of work is expected to be much less and the appropriation is cut from $155,000 to $15,000.
