BRUSSELS, Nov. 2.-(R)-A new
obstacle to" settlement of the Far
Eastern situation arose tonight on the
eve of the Brussels Conference when
China declared she would consider
no peace terms which did not provide
for Japanese evacuation of Chinese
territory.
There was serious doubt among the
delegates that Japan would be in-
duced to give up her position in North
China and Inner Mongolia.

Patrick H. O'Brien, the CIO mayor-
Ity candidate conceded his defeat by
tichard W. Reading with official re-
urns from half of the city's precincts

Throughout most of the night

ver O'Brien.
The vote from 650 of the 918 pre-
incts gave Reading 192,470, O'Brien,
17,292.
Reading Gets Backing
Reading, present city clerk and re-
arded as a "conservative" in the non-
artisan election, received the en-
lorsement of the Detroit & Wayne
ounty Federation of Labor after its
>riginal candidate had been eliminat-
d in the October primary.
He and O'Brien, who entered the
rimary with the backing of the CIO,
merged as finalists over three other
andidates. Reading led O'Brien in
he primary in which 327,000 ballots
ere cast, by 38,000 votes.
The CIO still retained hopes of
'lacing some of its five candidates on
he city council.
Homer Martin, president of the
JAWA, said in a statement at mid-

"Until the last precinct has report-
d, victory claims are premature.
"Regardless of the results, the elec-
tion has shown that a new and power-
ful factor has entered the city's po-
litical life.
"In the brief space of two years
organized labor, through the UAWA,
the CIO and the associated unions of
the AFL, has made its voice heard
in the clamor of reactionary interests
. . . and their obes eclaim to 'non-

"Organized labor, win or lose, will
continue its fight for the social and
economic betterment of the working
classes."
