NOTHING new
IN NOTE SAYS
CHINA PRESS
Most Papers, However, Ad-
NIT New Departures of
LANSING -Ishii Agreement

Shanghai. Dec. 31.-Newspapers
printed in English in Shanghai and a
small number Of Chinese dailies have
taken the position that the Lansing
Ishii notes, in which the United States
recognizes Japan's special position in
China. enunciate no new principle but
are merely q reinstatement of matter
contained in numerous treaties and
agreements.
The majority of the Chinese news
papers, however, do o share this
view and regard the recognition of
Japan's special position by America as
a grave menace to China. Surprise is
expressed that America has done any,
thing which brings her historic friend
ship with China into question, but the
surprise has also ELECTED a general
warning from the Chinese press that
China must arouse herself. create q
stable government n get into a po-
sition where she can defend herself
and need not rely upon foreign ma
tons to protect her.
Many OF the Shanghai Chinese pa
pris. as we'll as newspapers in all the
other large centers in China, emphas-
izs. the assertion that the negotiations
between tie United States and Japan
make II appear that China is not an

OH rhls reflection upon China, the
SinXa'I;.Go says.

erosion. Now we, realize even the

which we have beer looking for SYM
pathy and assistance, is not to be re-
relied upon. Does this mean that the
integrity of our country is lost for
ever?"
The Shenpao says: SIS the terri.
torial integrity of China still intact:
In the strictest sense of the world it
has long ago been destroyed and shat
tered. The reason why China, iii
spite of her dead and rotten spirit. is
still able to make an appearance of a
living creature by propping up the
skin with the bleached skeleton, is
not. because she has certain special
characteristics which saves her from
her fate. but because those who are
watching the spoils with knife IN
hand, are still waiting for their time"
The Shenpao declares that it is UNI
able to comprehend how it is posi-
BILE to recognize Japan's special inter-
ests in China and at the same time
to maintain the principle Of the open
door and equal commercial opportu-
nifty to all nations in China. The

Opinion Of U. S. Food
I: Administration.

/: Bread should retail in North Da-
kota for 8 cents a pound loaf in the
opinion Of the United States food ad-
m~inistration. In response to inquir-
les made by the North Dakota food
administration regarding prices Of
bread shipped into this state from
Duluth, the commercial baking 'divi-
sion of the United States food admin
istration says: 1.-The local bakers Of
North Dakota should be able to bake
and sell bread at 8 cents which would
naturally eliminat. the Duluth COM
pany from any business in that state
as; from the figures they give they
could not compete" Fl.
- Commenting on this notation from
the baking division al official of the
food administration says: Bread
should certainly not be retailed in ex.
cess of 10 cents per pound loaf. In
fact. this is high as compared with
other parts of the country. In the
eastern cities the price is from Z to s
cents and in Portland, Ore, 1t is Q
cents. A price of s cents has just
been established in San Francisco aft
e- some controversy. We would think
8 cents about right for your state"

GOOD RAINS IN
CENTRAL STATE
General Rainfall Over This Entire Sec.
ton of the State-Some Few
Places Missed.

The rain which fell here Monday and
Monday night seems to have been gen.
eral all over the central part of the
state. A few reports have come in
from localities not far distant to the
effect that the rain passed over but
from all accounts a good season was
gotten nearly everywhere.
Mr.. Sam Montgomery, the City
Clerk, who returned yesterday after
noon from Allison Wells in Madison
County stated this morning that ev-
erywhere along the road good rains
had fallen. He said that crops he saw
were very good and the outlook much
better than he expected to see it. In
making the trip he passed through
part of Lefore, Holmes and nearly all
of Madison.
A telephone communication from the
eastern part of Carroll County last
night revealed the fact that good
rain was falling in that section at
that time and that Attala and Mont
gomery counties had gotten good sea-
sons also
South Mississippi is reported to
have had good rains over the week
end.
