CHINA EXPORTS RICE
WHILE POOR STARVE

Shanghai, China, July 16-ProGt-
eerlng has hit the uncounted millions
OF China's poor, and famine threatens.
There is rice shortage here that
has created a condition which may be
mildly described as acute. 1t is re-
ally to be described only in the su-
perlative.
Daily the settlements police forces
receive word of the discovery Of dead
bodies Of men, women and children,
evident victims Of starvation, beng
found by roadsides where they have
been left because of families too
stricken by poverty to pay for proper
burial and trusting to the humanity
Of the foreign population to conduct
the accustomed rites.
Excessive export of rice to Japan
is blamed by the Chinese for the hun
ger of the people in this country.
Whether this is true or whether
Corner exists is what the authori-
ties are attempting to discover.
Quotations on rice rose a few days
ago to the unprecedented height of
$11 a picul approximately 1873
pounds. AS result the Chinese au-
thorites in the native city of Shang-
hal have opened two rice exchanges
where the food, which is the chief
sustenance of the native population,
is being sold for 81 a picul.
Similar conditions exist today
throughout China and the outcome of
the official investigation now pend
ing may have a far reaching effect on
the future Of the Chinese republic.

COX TO STATE
PARTY Stand
ON TAXATION
(By United Press)

Columbus, O., July 16,-Graduated
excess profit taxes will be re-
commended for repeal as a means of
reducing the cost of living, in the
speech which Gov. James NJ. Cox will
deliver at the time of his acceptance
of the Democratic nomination for
president, it was learned today. Gov.
ernor Cox would substitute for this
tax a taxation which would levy from
one to one and one-half per cent on
the volume of all business handled in
the United States.
This taxation, the nominee believes.
would produce from $1,O06, 000,0 900 to
100000 annually. Governor
Cox believes that the present grad
uated taxes on excess profits greatly
pyramid the costs of all necessities
1t was stated that he will deal with
the problem of taxation at length in
his speech of acceptance.
