With Easter, which marks the close
of the spring business in women's ap-
parel and dressmaking fabrics, but
eight weeks off the wholesale trade
in such merchandise reports fewer
orders booked than at a similar period
for several years. Wholesalers of
fancy cotton goods, silks, dresses,

retailers are buying with extreme con-
servatism. "Where retailers formerly
placed orders for 1000 waists" said a

is convinced that a rush Of business
will develop between now and Easter.

Within the last week many Of the

"Watson's audience, the biggest

BY LoRRY A. JACOBS

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 2-The
real purpose of Franklin D. Roose-
velt in making his flying trip across
the continent has been accomplished.
That object was NOT primarily to
acquaint the west with Roosevelt
and his views, not to discredit the
Republican party.
1t WAS for a two-fold purpose.
To impress the west with the fact
that the Democratic party is with
the League of Nations to- stay and
To implant wedge that Govern
or Cox can drive home when he
makes his trip through the same ter
ritory.
As to the first objective-that of
making the Leadue of Nations
political issue, Roosevelt hammered
away at the issue until, about a week
after the trip had started he began
to find crowds more friendly and
more ready to listen to his arguments
on that question.
Enthusiasm Grew
That enthueisam grew-even
through California-and it was am
azing to find thousands and thous-
ands of men and women eager to
learn the arguments for the league
they had not yet heard. And, finally
on his return from the western coast
he found audiences that were not
only eager to listen but were thor
oughly convinced in favor Of it.
The real object of Roosevelt, how
ever was to prepare the way for
Governor Cox's September campaign
in the west
1t was apparent from the very first
that as far as the west was concerned
the Democratic party was in a queer
quandary-that of having a candi-
date for vice president the people
knew better than it did it's candidate
for president.
But with the aid of Judge J M.
Marx, of Cincinnati, a warm person
al friend Of Governor Cox and wound
ed veteran of the war, Roosevelt told
of the qualifications of the Ohio chief
executive for the support of the west
in an extremely effective manner.
Tho west is now ready for Gov
ernor Cox and whether or not he
goes over depends entirely on himself
and his political advisers. The west
is alert and eager to know Govern
or Cox.
Roosevelt Pleased
Said Roosevelt to me before re-
porting to Governor Cox:
''I am ready to tell my chief that
the things l was sent to accomplish
are done to my best ability. have
found the west generously hospita-
Bile, receptive but thinking.
81 can ask no more--for it is my
candid opinion that if the people of
the west-and the entire country as
well-think enough about this cam
paign a Democratic victory will re-
suit at the polls in November
81 am especially pleased with re-
suits as far as the League of Ma
tions is concerned, and I think that
/ the arguments presented by myself
and members of my party for it have
gone long way in Strengthening out
misapprehensions concerning it.

TELLS OF JAPS'
ATTITUDE in EAST
Official of Far East Re
public Recites Farley
Difficulties

NOTE: The following statement
of he relations between The japa.
neyc and the Far Eastern Republic
of shbela was obtained by m As
sociated Press correspondent IN the
course of journey from VladiYos-
took across Siberia and Russia to.
Moscow and Finland.
VERKHNE-UDINSK, Siberia,
Sept. Representative Of the Far
Eastern Republic recently establish
ed here have been frustrated in their
efforts to make peace with the Jap
anese military command in Siberia
by refusal of the latter to treat with
them except as concerns territory
west of Chita, according to state
ment by A. NJ. Krasnotchekoff,
Foreign Minister of the new repub
lie. to The Associated Press CORE
spondent, Parleys were broken off
when the Russians insisted that the
scope of negotiations should embrace
the entire Far Eastern situation,
should assume an international as
pect instead of parleys between mill
itary commands, and that military
operations should be completely sus-
pended while negotiations were in
progress.
Efforts Of the Far Eastern Repub-
lie to establish friendly relations
with the japanese even at the ex-
pense of surrender temporarily of
sovereign rights to wide belt of
territory, were described by Kras-
notchekoff, as follows:
"Parleys between the japanese
military mission and mission of the
Far Eastern Republic were begun on
May "a at the station Gongota, be-
tween the Japanese-Semenoff and
Russian fronts, about 70 miles west
of Chita. The japanese mission,
headed by Colonel Rurosawa pre-
sented three demands, namely that
the Soviet army must return west of
Lake Baikal; that neutral zone be
established west of Chita ITO miles
in extent and containing no armed
forces; that free transportation and
communications be established and
that the Japanese have representa-
ton in the railway management.
"The Russians replied that the So
Wet army had not progressed be-
vond the left bank of the Selenga
river (southwest of Lake BaikaD
and that the question of their return
west of Lake Baikal must be taken
IN nv Japan with Soviet Russia,
"The Far Eastern Republic mission
proposed that the railway in the Chi
ia and Stretensk districts be consid-
cred within the sphere of influ-
ence of the japanese military COM
mand in Siberia temporarily, until
an agreement regarding japanese
evacuation could be reached; and
that through transportation and COM
munication be established eastward.
"The Russians insisted upon par
leying regarding the Far Eastern sit
uation as a whole, that fighting cease
on all fronts, and that negotiations
assume the aspect of an internation-
al conference instead of parley be-
tween two military commands.
"On May 25 the parleys were in
terrupted because the japanese wish
ed to discuss the situation west of
Chita only, stating that they were
not authorized to do more.
son June Krasnotchekoff sent
memorandum to General OF ex-
pressing surprise that the japanese
