FEAR EFFECT ON JAPAN
Toxic Newspapers Uneasy Re-
garding World League.
Accuse United States and Great
Britain Of Making World Unsafe
for Democracy.

Toxic, May 6.-Politicians and news
papers in Japan are still uneasy re-
garding the league of nations and its
effect upon this country.
Details of the Shantung settlement
were lacking. Nothing was announced
by the foreign office. Newspapers call
the decision momentous Japanese
victory Asahi Shumbun, however,
fears recognition of Japan's claim in
the Shantung peninsula will lead to
the necessity of Allied recognition Of
similar claims of other nations, de-
stroying the: mandatory rule principle.
Kokumin Shimbun, organ of the bu-
reaucratic element, still sees danger
ahead for Japan in the South sea
island possessioEs question. It urges
preparation for secession from the
league of nations conference at any
time. .

America at the Peace conference are

more safe for democracy. Some iken

Columbus, Ohio, May 6.-Between

Grain Director Says to Arbitrarily
Deduce Present Figures
Would Be Unsound. r.
SPEAKS IN MILL CITY
Julius II. Barnes Declares That in
View of World Food Shortage
Conditions 1t Would BE an
Error to Lower Prices.

Minneapolis, May 6-Julius H.
Barnes, head of the United States
Grain corporation, in an address at
the West hotel before the Civic and
Commerce association, declared that
to arbitrarily reduce the resale price
of wheat to a figure that would be
lower than that guaranteed the pro-
duce.s by the government would be
an economically unsound policy at the
present time. |,
Admitting that the Grain corpora
ton must see to it that American
grown wheat must not be sold in for
eign countries at lesser price than
the selling figure in the United States
Mr.. Barnes asserted that it is by no
means an easy task to determine what
the resale price of the government
bought grain should be. But in view
of the world food shortage conditions,
he said. it would be grievous error
to artificially lower the price now.
Mr.. Barnes spoke to an audience
consisting mainly of millers and grain
men of Minneapolis and Minnesota.
Nearly 600 attended the dinner, $50 of
whom are identified with the grain
and milling trade in Minneapolis.
Sudden Price Decrease Unwise.
Referring in no uncertain terms to
the agitation in this country for low
wheat prices, the speaker did not hest.
tate in letting it be known that the
propaganda for lower wheat prices
must be answered. The Grain cor.
poration has the authority to drop
the price to any level, he explained,
but to do so would be unwise, he said,
because America is self-respecting
nation and could never descend to the
subsidy of the table,"
Reviewing the world food situation,
particularly as regards wheat, Mr..
Barnes declared that the greatest dem
onstration of team play is taking place
today in the formulation of a pro-
gram for the feeding of the world
a program in the hands of Herbert
Hoover. 49,
"Mr. Hoover" he said, began the
program last November, even before
the armistice was signed. From the
President he secured the directions to
the army to construct food stores at
favofable points abroad with the in
structions to resell those foods when
needed by the relief organizations"
