Rupture Demanded

Paris, Jan, 19.

The rupture of diplomatic relations between France and Soviet Russia was demanded today by a number of Senators during a debate at the close of which the upper house unanimously voted the Bill expelling Communist representatives from the French Parliament, Tokyo, Jan. 20.

Proposals to increase the company's capital from Y.800000000 to Y. 400,000.00, to change company contracts and to invite subscriptions for stocks were explained and approved at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of the South Manchuria Railway Company in the Imperial Railway Association here today—Domei.

This Bill already adopted by the Chamber of Deputies and today's vote, 294 to nil, put the final stamp of approval on it. Only one of the two Communist Senators in Parliament attended the debate: Clamamus of the Seine, who had disavowed his Communist affiliations before anti-Communist measures were initiated.
