Those gentlemen, while instituting an investigation, inti- mated that as the board was open to the world for trading they might not be able to do much to prevent such hedging In the future. Anyhow, these operations were In themselves far less important and portentous than the dumping of Russian wheat and the evident fact that Russia was becoming a serious competitor in the grain mar- kets of the world with the United States, Canada, Argentina and other wheat-growing countries. The Soviet rulers absolutely control the produc- tion and marketing of grain in Russia. and though that country is not producing enough for Hs own they the In} e } - & 11: short selling yet needs, on grain money are keeping abitants and the abroad because they need the next year, their sys- mass production aided by the rations Soon, maybe by tem of use of American farm machinery will be in full effect, and apparently the farmers of other countries will have to meet the situation by similar mass production methods, or go under, URING the week many suggestions for relief were made in many quarters, A Rumanian in the League of Nations assembly pleaded for a European preferential tariff to protect the farmers of easter® Europe. The Swedish head of a great Argentine wheat firm sald the best method would be for the world to boycott Russian wheat. In the Baltic states there were demands for government action against the Russian dumping that threatened the ruin of local industries and trad. ers. Four representatives of the Canadian grain trade salled for Lon- don with the dominion premler and other cabinet members to attend the imperial conference opening October 1, making it likely that the grain sit- uation would be considered by the conference, Officials of the American Farm Bu. reau federation, the National Grange and the Farmers’ Edueational and Co operative union announced they had been investigating the disastrous wheat slump situation and would re- port their findings soon. The farm federation, Secretary Winder states, has had under consideration for some time legislation designed to more thoroughly regulate the boards of trade to “prevent just such manipula- tion as has occurred during the last few months.” Congressman Fish of New York, chairman of the house com- mittee on Communist activities, sum- moned the members of the committee to Chicago for a hearing on the Rus- sian short selling on the Chicago board. Toward the close of the week wheat prices recovered somewhat In the United States and Canada, due to lib. eral buying and to reports that the Russian interests were covering their ghort deals. In Chiengo the Russian genre was regarded as about passed, but from London came a dispatch say- ing that Canadian and Russian grain was competing for sales and that American hard winter wheat was in small demand, ROSPECTS for early disarmament in Europe, or even reduction of armament, were put on the skids when it was oflicially announced at Geneva se 1g through the Triumph arch In front ing tested missionaries in that negotiations between France and l Italy for settlement of thelr problems had been discontinued. only point of agreement between the two governments, sald one of the experts, was on the naval naval The Italian building holiday to last until the end of thesyear.

His armies marched to Peiping, occupying Tientsin on the way, and taking possession of the old capital city posted proclama- tions demanding that the fighting cease and assuring pence to northern China. Chang gained complete con- trol of Chihli province without the firing of a single shot, and his troops settled down for a long stay. The leaders of the northern rebel alliance withdrew to the mountains of Shans! province and their future movements were uncertain, The collapse of the rebellion and the action of the Manchurian war lord lead the Soviet Russian govern. ment to consent to the opening of the Chinese-Russian conference in Mos cow on October 11. Russia had been holding up this meeting in the hope that the Nationalist government would fall, ENATOR NYE'S campaign investi. gating committee went to Lincoln, Neb., and learned a lot about the Re- publican senatorial primary campaign in that state that is pleasing to the insurgent Republicans and correspond ingly annoying to the Republican na. tional senatorial committee.

DOLF HITLER, head of the ram- pant Fascists of Germany, de clares his party intends to destroy the treaty of Versallles, by legal means If possible, otherwise by means looked upon by the world as {llegal. Hitler made this assertion when he was called as a witness at the trial of three reichswehr officers accused of treason. “The National Boclalists do not re. gard the international agreement as law, but as something forced upon us,” he sald. “Germany Is gagged by the peace treatlex. We do not ae knowledge our gulit In the war, CRO cially not the gullt of future genera- tions. When we shall oppose these shall find ourselves in the midst of revolution, “We shall oppose these treaties both diplomatically and by completely evad- ing them. That may be looked upon by the world as an illegal method, but we will not employ it until the party has been victorious, three more elections our party will be in the majority.” Again and again he stated with em- phasis and emotion that he was plan. ning no armed revolt. “We don't need an armed revolt,” he sald, “al we need is another election” Encouraged by the success of the Hitlerites in Germany, the Fascists of Austria brought about the downfall of the Schober cabinet.

The true source of surloin, as it should be spelled, i= French sur, “above,” and longe, "loin," but the common belief of the legend has estab lighed the erroneous spelling in the Innguage. It is interesting to not. however, that when the story was fir.t told, Oliver Cromwell was lord pro tector of England !-Literary Digest.
