REAT BRITAIN started off the week with a bang that could be heard around the world. The national government, finding the gold reserves of the Bank of Eng- lan? were reduced to the danger point, the money borrowed from America and France exhausted and the withdrawals of for- elgn balances from the country continu- ing, adopted the evid- ently course of abandoning the gold standard at least temporarily.

The paval unrest “exploited in for. elgn newspapers, causing general nervousness abroad.” Mr. Snowden explained that as a result of all this people began to take their possessions away from England, but added that tle actual crisis started Inst May with the collapse of the chief banks in Australia. ' J. P. Morgan, who was in London, gave one of his exceedingly rare in- terviews to the press, “This step seems to me,” he said, “to be the second necessary stage In the work of the national government, the first being the balancing of the budget. The completion of the gov- ernment’s work will be the restora- tion of trade in this country. This being the case.

The ag- gressive course, itap- pears, was taken by the war office with- out awaiting the ap- proval of the govern ment at Tokyo, and the cabinet was bad. ly split. War Minis ter Minami aggra- vated this rupture by sending reinforce ments to Manchuria froma the Corean gar- ricons on his own ini- tiative, Foreign “Minister Kijuro Shidehara was especially rolled, for he hoped to settle the quarrel with China by peaceful negotiations, and apparently Premier Wakatsuki was of the same mind. On demand of Alfred Sze, Chinese felegnte to the League of Nations, a special meeting of the league couneil was called to hear Nanking's protest against the action of Japan, and a mild resolution was adopted. Mr. Sze charged that Japanese troops, without provocation, opened rifle and artillery fire upon Chinese soldiers at Mukden, bombarded the arsenal and barracks, set fire to the ammunition depot and disarmed Chinese troops in other cities. [le asked that the league net to prevent further development of the situation and determine the amounts and character of reparations due China, Kenkiehi Yoshizawa, Japanese spokesman, announced to the council that Japan would respect In every way the stipulations of the league Shidehara covenant and of the Kellogg pact In her policy toward Manchuria, T. V. Soong, Chinese minister of finance, proposed a Sino-Japanese commission to *ry to solve the Man- churia problem and this suited Tokyo, but it was rejected flatly by Nanking. President Chiang Kal-shek in a mes- sage to the Chinese people, declared that “if the League of Nations and the Kellogg puct signatories fail to up- hold justice between China and Japan, the national government Is prepared for a final and struggle, 1 shall lead the army and the entire nation In the fight for the preserva tion of our race. [I shall go to the front and, if necessary, fall with other patriots.” The Canton supreme rebel government ceased its hostile campaign against the Nationalist regime in order that all China might unite to combat Japan, Soviet Russia took a hand in the melee, making formal protest to Japan against the latter's course in taking steps in Manchuria without first notifying Moscow, Says her interests in large ns those of Japan, the Moscow press was warlike On Wednesday Secretary of Stimson sent notes to both Ja China urging them to cease host and the League of Nations councl cabled to Tokyo asking Japan te per mit a neutral commission to tigate the situation, Russia Manchurian are as State an and Iiiles, inves HOOVER deci appear PRESIDENT ling suddenly to fore convention of the American Leglon, went to Detroit Mondas ored the 16.0060 naires and flies He was ly received an tened to with respec and It was evident that his main pur pose, the heading off of demands by the prganisution for addi tional bon: lo this time, as accomplished, Mr. Hoover his message and he dealt with no other than that which him there. In effect, the President made a request that the Legionnaires should for additional loans under the vet erans’ adjusted compensat act, There bad been a concerted move ment within the Legion to have this convention pass a resolution demand ing that veterans be permitted to bor row the full amount of their adiu compensation certificates, Instead of only half, as at present, jut the President shrewdly making direct plea, He said It was not fitting that the President of the United States should plead with them in a test of patriotism. He was “pointing out the path service In this nation,” Mr. Hoover said, and he left the choice with the Legion. The President outlined the financial plight of the country, and said he was convinced that the Legion would seek to add no further burden When the President finished and had left the hall with cries of “We want beer!” ringing: behind him, he was driven directly back to his spe cial train which left at once for Wash- ington, After a warm debate the Legion adopted a resolution condemning the Eighteenth amendment and calling on congress to hold a nation-wide refer. endum on the repeal or modification of the dry laws.

Use Settles Feed Problem for Twelve Months. The silos may be empty, to remain empty on more than a few farms, but there are still thousands of farmers who consider the silo an Indispensable adjunct to economical feeding. Just recently, for instance, we heard one farmer telling of how well he was able to maintain the summer milk flow by feeding green oats and peas, In or- der to make sure of a constant supply of the palatable mixture through the short pasture season, several sowlings had been made at two-week intervals, It was fed as cut, each day, The sec ond farmer listened to the story with ill-concealed Impatience, Finally turn came and he disposed of the sub ject in this way: “When the pas tures get all that 1 have to do is crawl the silo and throw out some ensilage. There is no monkey: around with several feed and dally trips to the with a scythe and der No, we provide our summer feed when we il gllos in the fall and our for the next 12 months” It is no wonder that the silo, useful both summer and winter, has S00 many friends. --Montreal Hera! d. bis short into sowings of field sir ; ing re green nocrat. tT Hleyr problem is settled Lives of Young Pigs the system lives of anc In the swine, worked aving young pigs is simple in pra ging a pr the clice, oportion aver pen should we and smove all worm eg that may be swine is above the scrubbed to present, a para heavy losses, © » gow shoul tii be thor oughly ieaned up, paying special at ] remove ull days after £8 are re tention worm ge crops srovided with water and kept lo st four months, aft. its to 8 large ex ted from clean young ani He expe older animals Rafe and water supplies eller and shade + to thriftiness and rapid from ups : their infected surroundings wessary sl Ww inter ring Br ood Sows ountries it is somewhat wE on ifa hay does not prove of pra ommends the f ng: “A for gilts hin 3 to ut five pounds of ound of al practi.
