DEVELOPMENTS OF
 PAST WEEK WERE ALI CONSTRUCTIVE
Bankers Stressed Need of FOrtifying Productive Projects In Legitimate
 Enterprises
By Assoclated Press

New York, May 29.-Developments of the week were constructive for the most part, in the opinion of leaders of finance and industry The securities market manifested firmer tendencies,
 with signs of relaxation of the credit
 strain, although the Federal Reserve
 Bank ordered another general advance of
 discounts.
 In the various markets for various
 commodities liquidation made further
 progress, this being especially true of the
 So-called luxury" trades and such
 prominent industrials as textiles, leath
 CTS and numerous raw products. There
 was a perceptible slowing down of gen.
 eral business all over the country. Food prices also receded, but the re-
 actions in that quarter was reacted by rail embargoes and scarcity of farm labor. Crop prospects in the more im- portant agricultural sections of the west
 and southwest are extremely promising. however, as evidenced by reports from Kansas and Iowa.
 Bankers again stressed the need of fortifying productive projects and strengthening of legitimate business en- terprises, but continued to urge greater contraction of speculative loans, even to the extent of a further 'rationing" of | fundsN
 Restriction of credits is expected to proceed for the next four weeks, or until | the advent of the mid-year. Should that period be reached without increased | tension or further industrial and com | mercial unsettlement bankers believe | the financial structure will once more | rest on solid ground.
 | Movements of foreign exchange direct l ed renewed attention to the country 1 international trade, which is becoming a | more uncertain quantity, judged oy ApriIs export figures There is an m- creasing disposition to discourage new foreign underwriters until home condl- tions become less obscure.

ot stated that In order that this could
be brought about "a would hTst be
necessary to establish a neutral zone
between tho Jspsnese and Russian
forces at Chits. "out OF which would
be developed eastern Russian. su-
tonomy,'
Tho Japsnese, the proclamation
stated. would not interfere ~ such
autonomy. hut, to the contrary. such
an arrangement would make oppor-
tune the contemplated military
evacuation by tho japanese,
Three out OF the apparently neees-
shry four groups were agreed on this
plan, the proclamation observed, the
three being the JapsncsN government,
the japanese military forces. and the
japanese people. The fourth party,
the people OF Russia. 1T was hoped
would approve"
The summary Of General Ois proc
lsmation Indicated that the recent in
oident at Nichoiaiovsk, In which there
were a number of casualties, includ-
ing the killing OF u number OF Jap
anese soldiers, japanese consul, and
a number OF Japanese civilians, IAN
incident OF grave interest TO the Jap
snese people" forms a separate aues-
tion which must be settled apart from
all other matters.
The State Departments report on
the proclamation merely stated the
bare facts as set forth in the docu-
ment. No comment was offered. Else
where. however. IL was stated that
the intentions of Japan as suggested
in the report, are strictly in keeping
with the known desire OF the Jsps-
nesc for a universally recognized
Monroe doctrine OF her own.
An autonomous Eastern Russia,
from Chita to the sea, coupled with
Japan's declaration that she "will
not tolerate" anything calculated TO
disturb the peace of the world in her
part OF the globe. II is pointed out,
quite obviously would place the pro-
posed new far Eastern state under
her protection.
And as many of her nationals are
in that part OF Siberia. trouble of any
kind, from internal disorders to a
menace of invasion from without.
would automatically call for action
on the part of Japan.
The corollary of the new equation
in the far East, therefore. is consid-
cred to mean that the rest OF the
world must talk with Japan before
mixing in the affairs Of the Orient.
