22 (UP) Official dissatisfaction with the totalitarian powers' defiance of American diplomatic demands was expressed again today by Cordell Hull, secretary of state, in connection with Japan's rejection of the traditional open door policy in China. Caught in a crossfire of diplomatic snubs from Europe and the Far East, Hull expressed impatience with the recent Japanese reply to American representations, in which the Tokyo government in effect demanded a "New Deal" in oriental affairs and characterized the open door policy as an outworn international doctrine. Direct Reply Denied He indicated that he did not consider the Japanese answer a direct reply to this country's general position regarding the individual and property rights of American citizens and interests, whether in China or any other nation. He declined to go into detail at his press conference, but said he intended to spend more time studying the Jap-j anese message.

Subterfuge Charged He said that talk of threats from foreign powers was "only a cover for those hell bent for a mad naval program," and he urged that instead of spending billions for defense, more attention be paid to perfection and extension of the American neutrality act wnicn ne authored.

He suggested that en largement of the old-age pension system and adequate farm legislation was more important than huge military and naval expenditures. A militant isolationist who has patterned his foreign policy after that of Sen. William E. Borah, ranking Republican member of the senate foreign affairs committee. Nye said there "is no likelihood of any power or combination of pow ers attacking South America." He added that the United States is "prepared today to repel an attack by any power or group of them if such a fantastic idea can be con ceived." Finland Dissolves National Fascists HELSINGFORS.

Use This Coupon Foes A Repulsed Threat To Rebuff Britain Quiets Deputies PARIS, Nov. 23 (Wednesday) (UP) A threat by Premier Edouard Daladier to call off today's state visit of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and convene parlia ment for a vote of confidence, ear ly today blocked attempts to force an immediate showdown on the government's new recovery program. Daladier's dramatic threat and offer to call parliament on Thursday to decide whether his cabinet will stand or fall was made before the chamber of deputies finance commission when Socialist and Communist foes demanded immedi ate debate on his reform recress.

To Arrive Today Unless the commission agreed to postpone all discussion of the decrees until mid-December, when parliament reconvenes. Daladier said he would ask Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, British foreign secretary, and their wives to remain in London. They are to arrive in Paris at 5 p. m. today for a three-day visit at the invitation of the government.

After the threat, the finance commission, faced with the alternative of shouldering blame for a "rebuff" to the British statesmen, rejected, 20 to 18, with five abstentions, a Socialist motion for shelving the 1939 budget pending full discussion of the recovery decrees. Hands Appear Tied The commission then rejected, by a larger majority, a Communist motion calling for immediate scrapping of the three-year recovery program. The narrow margin of Daladier's victory in the vote on the Socialist motion appeared to have tied the premier's hands insofar as any major undertakings in consultation with Chamberlain and Halifax are concerned. It indicated to observers that a government crisis was imminent and that Daladier may be forced to call parliament soon for a vote of confidence: Rumor Is Heard Shortly before Daladier's appearance before the finance commission, it was reported, without official confirmation, that Joachim von Ribbentrop, German foreign minister, may come to Paris early in December for a discussion of general European appeasement. Paul Reynaud, finance minister, defended his 32 new recovery decrees before the finance commission, saying that he was "wholly satisfied" with their early effects.

Both he and Daladier were determined to avoid debate on them until late in December, when parliament will be asked to ratify the program. Although the Spanish civil war is scheduled to be the No.l topic of the Chamberlain-Daladier conversations, it was understood the French statesmen would broach the question of French-British economic relations and world-wide economic conditions in general.

Many persons were missing and one estimated was that 150 had been killed. An area of 64 square miles was ordered evacuated as a precautionary measure as slides continued this afternoon. One area of seven acres was covered with a coat of clay slime 20 feet deep. A whole mountain appeared to have parted in half and toppled over, the mass moving across a valley so rapidly that few had time to escape its path. some witnesses said the landslides began with loud detonations, lending weight to reports they might be of volcanic origin.

The meteorological station of nearby Martinique Saturday warned that disturbances could be expected. Others attributed the slides solely to continuous rains. Two hamlets were buried in the initial slide last night.

The stormtroop organ, explaining that Jews must be driven into virtual ghettos "where they will have the least possible contact with Germans," said: "When this stage is reached we would be faced with the hard necessity of exterminating the Jewish underworld by methods which we, in our orderly state, always use in dealing with criminals, namely fire and sword." Das Schwarz Korps urged the democracies to make a positive contribution to the solution of the fate of Germany's 700,000 Jews.

Goebbels referred to the proposal put forward by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in the house of commons for settling thousands of German Jews in the former German colony of Tanganyika. The proposal brought.bitter retorts from the Nazi press today. The Anglo-American plan to re settle the Jews in what was German East Africa before Britain took it from Germany after the World War was described as an in sult, because the Nazis claim that the colony is "legally and morally" theirs.
