FOR BETTER RELA-

Association Has Been Formed in Toxic
to Serve as General Link Between
the People of the Two
Countries.

Toxic, March 26--Although there ex.

an association which would serve as a
general link between the two peoples

ideas on questions which concern Japan
and the United States.
Viscount Kentaro Kaneko of the privy
council presided at the organization
meeting, which was attended by about 50
representative japanese and Americans.
i. The Japanese included Baron Shibusawa,
Baron Sakatani. Mr.. Shidehara, vice min
lister of foreign affairs Baron Megata,
chairman of the Harvard club; Mr.. Hi

president of the Yokohama specie bank /;
Baron kanda, DIR. r Dan and others.
George w. Guthrie tsinee deadl the
American ambassador, and his staff also
were present.
Viscount Keneko referred to the great
need of such an association as was pro-
posed and said he thought it would be a
convenient and useful medium for the
exchange of views on questions of inter-
est between Japan and the United States,
more especially those involving the issue

which the two peoples are alleged to be

irresponsible and petty utterances, some
times mischievous, of which too often
people were inclined to make mountains.

salaries, and all departments and officers
are required to make monthly reports
showing the work done and tke expense
incurred. To the board is also given
power to remove minor state officers and
employees In short. a remarkable con

CONDITION OF CROPS
IMPROVED BY RAINS
Ideal Weather Helps Winter
Wheat; West Is Aided.

Chicago, May 22.-Crop conditions
are highly favorable. Winter wheat
has experienced ideal weather for the
past two or three weeks and the
heavy rains which fell over Sunday
was just what the plant needed to
carry it through to maturity. In Kan
sas, the crop is heading and the mois-
ture will insure good heads as well as
a plump berry.
The northwest was getting dry and
the relief afforded the spring wheat
plant by the rains will start the new
crop in most favorable manner. The
movement of wheat is still of fair vol
ume and local arrivals are estimated
at rs cars. Northwest wheat receipts
were SIS cars, compared with 420
cars last year. Winnipeg received 70.
cars, compared with 1921 cars last
year. Arrivals in the Canadian market
of late compare favorab1y with the
record breaking movement Of last
year.
Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased
100000 Blu. for two days. Worlds ship
ments last week were 1860 bu.
compared with 12,676.OOO bu. last year.
Australia shipped 100000 Blu. last
week, which indicates that an effort
is being made to move the surplus in
that country to consumptive chan
nels. Liverpool spot wheat was dull.

Philip Vetoes
Dry Referendum
AS So1o71s
Act
(By United Press !

Madison, Wis, May p. 80 Hope
for statewide referendum in Wis
consin on the question of prohibit
ton was blasted just before eleven
o clock today when Governor E. =.
Philip sent to the legislature
special message in which he vetoed
the Evjue statewide prohibition
referendum bill. The end of the
oitterest fight ever known between
the vets and drys of Wisconsin
came amidst dramatic climaxes.
The Governor had waited all dur
ing the morning for word that his
supporters in the legislature had
secured reconsideration of the
bill. Pitted against him was As
semblyman William T. Evjue, the
author of the bill, who fought on
the floor of the assembly from nine
clock last night until the veto
message came against q recall of
the bill from the governor. The
senate remains in session ready to
act on the joint resolution after it
was passed by the house. Evjue
knew that he was fighting losing
fight but he kept at it and just
at five minutes to eleven five
minutes before the bill would have
become law without the signature
of the governor the veto-message
arrived in the assembly. Within
a minute after the assembly passed
the resolution to recall the bill
from the Governor but it had pass
ed it too late.
In the consideration of the bill
this morning the members of the
assembly put the responsibility for
killing the referendum up to the
Governor. The Governor had
hoped to be saved the necessity of
a veto--not because he had shown
that he ia ored the referendum
but that he did not desire to shout
der the responsibility.
The action today kills so far as
this session is concerned any move
ment for the statewide referendum.
