Moscow stirred by rumor of U S intervention in Chinese railroad disputes
Moscow officials debated a reported plan by the United States to form an unbiased commission over the Nanking seizure of the Chinese eastern railway. The proposal, said to come via Secretary of State Simson to major powers, would appoint a foreign manager with wide powers to safeguard interests until a full settlement. Soviet authorities reportedly would disapprove of such intervention as anti-Soviet. Meantime, Chinese officials sought talks with Soviet rep Melnikoff in Manchuria, who reportedly refused to negotiate, saying he lacked authority.

Plan to approve Hoover suspension of cruiser building sparks fear
Washington Aug 6 The proposed Senate resolution by Senator William H King to approve President Hoover’s halt on cruiser construction threatens embarrassment for the administration. Big Navy advocates fear a congressional outbreak that could hurt public opinion in the United States and Britain as naval reductions are debated abroad. Hoover, confident he can hold ships until June 30 1931, faces pressure to start all ships within eleven months or risk a formal reduction agreement next June. Congress leaders signal insistence on completing the current cruiser program even if it means opposing scrapping. Hoover may withhold support from Kin g’s proposal while trying to keep Republicans aligned.
