BRITISH CONTRACT FOR WHEAT a IN RUMANIA AROUSES VIOLENT
 OPPOSITION TO BRATIANUISTS

[ of the British contract would then be
 dumped on a market in which already a new crop might be look for buyers and that a great slump in wheat prices would then result, a decrease so great that it might rob the 80,000 Icar1oads of F<the British contract of whatever their value might then be. In that case, it is argued, Rumania would have to bear the loss A de-, tscline in wheat prices to a normal Ipeace level would in itself wipe out the. value to Rumania, or the 80, DOC Ecar1oads if they had to be disposed in eompe titioni with a new crop. In that lease Rumania would have no equiva- lent for 262, 100000 lei of its paper cur, Erencya

pr. Edwards Olive TabIets-the substitute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost Instantaneous.

AUSTRIA FEARS HUNGARIAN GRAIN
 TRADE COMBINE
Dissension Created Between Countries Because of
 Wheat Situation.

Zurich, April 6-ConsiderabIe ~ap- prehension has been excited in Aus tria by the announcement that the Hungarian flour mills are being or ganized into a powerful trust. Almost wholly dependent upon Hungary for wheat and other breadstuffs, the Aus trian millers and bakers fear that this new corporation will increase still further their subjection to the other half of the monarchy.
 Among the various questions which have arisen during the war, where the interests of the two nations have been divergent, fnone has occasioned more bitter feeling than those connected with the grain trade. Austria is chiefly an industrial country and Hungary an agricultural one, exporting enormous quantities of grain every year; a. very large proportion of which goes to Aus tria.
 When foodstuffs began to get scarce in the dual monarchy, Austria. natur- ally suffered first While in Hungary everybody had plenty to eat, and prices, and having to suffer all the inconveniences and annoyances of the bread ticket system.
 Charges of self1shness and attempt ed extortion were made against the Hungarian landowners and peasant farmers, but the millers were also ac- cused of taking unfair advantage of the situation. They managed to get the government in Budapest to put all kinds of obstacles in the way of sending grain to Austria, insisting that they ought to have all the milling profits.
 Remembering this, the Austrian nillers are the more alarmed now at the prospect of this new trust in Hun gary, feeling certain that very little grain will be allowed to cross the frontier. The bulk of it will be con- verted first into four and meal in the country where it is grown. Moreover the Hungarian millers will be able to fix the buying and selling prices of both grain and four
 In the struggle the Austrian millers are handicapped by the fact that many of them are in a small way of business, whereas the Hungarian

Tokio, April 6-'-The relations be- tween the United States and Japan have always been excellent notWith- standing disturbing rumors at times to the contrary. said Baron Ishli. the minister of foreign affairs, during an address recently, but as far as can udge they have never been better or as good as they are today Tho minister was speaking lat the annual dinner of the Amefica's Friends Asso- citation, an organization composed of Japanese who are especially interest ed in maintaining the good relations between Japan and the United States Visconnt Kentaro Kaneko, 9 member of the Privy Council, presided and among. those present were Premier Count Okuna and George w. Guthrie, the American ambassador Baron Ishii said:A
 We all remember about quarter of a century ago the creation of the cry, the yellow peril did not un- derstand it then and T do not now, but it originated from a certain pow CT in Europe whose real aim was to create discord to serve her own pur- poses of domination, to crush down the newly rising nation in the ar East Happily for hI1manlty's sake. the American people understood the motives behind this power. This

 He continued: sesFhe result is that the relations between Japan and the United States are better than atsany prevIous time because that power is too much occupied with her own trou- bles and cares, and the relations ape- tween the United States and Japan are now left to be regulated by them selves. Therefore we fndaswhen left without this source of intrigue that 4here never has been a. better or more cordial understanding between the two nations Bordering the Pacific than at present. We have every reason to congratulate ourselves on the elin1in- alton of thds source, of trouble for it bespeaks bright future; for this power is and will be too busy for some time to interfere.s With the con- tinuaf growing. better understanding Of the motives Of each country, this relationship will grow year by year more ideal. more cordial as it ustIy na1ght to be-

He added: f@The | ideal of peace and the principle of democracy so strongly upheld by President Jefferson and others are now being relegated to the background and the military expansion movement is being vigorously pushed forward i bx MT.

 Count Ol1unaa thought that Japan and the United States working to- gether could do a great deal towards
 rescuing the world from the calamity
 now expressing it. !. The premier made several refer ences to China. where he believed the
