Japan's Withdrawal From Shantung

Willing For Conference.

shington.-Threats of death and
kilograms from Chinese in many parts
of the world denouncing their action in
opening direct negotiations with Japan
on the Shantung question have been
re 'eived by the Chinese delegation in
Washington The threats are suppos-
eddy from Chinese students and the
delegates are being carefully guarded
by United States secret service agents.
1t is understood that several mem
bers of the delegation have decided
not to attempt to return TO China for a
long time after the conference and that
they have begun to look for houses in
Washington.
More thoughtful Chinese, however,
even in the ranks of the Cantonese,
are supporting the delegates, and
maintain that they took the only pos
sible course to bring about a settle
ment Of this problem that has troubled
the world for four years. 1t probably
will be ten days before these Japanese
Chinese conversations" are complet-
ed. The main committee on Pacific
and far eastern affairs met in discus
sion of foreign concessions in China.
These concessions have been in some
ways a great humiliation to the Chi
nese, as they have been barred from
the sections held by foreigners.
Signs such as mo Chinese Allowed"
in the Shanghai concession and high
gates with barbed wire and guards at
the Canton concession have not added
to the popularity of foreigners.
At the last meeting offers were
made looking toward a gradual with
drawal of the japanese from Shantung,
the British from Veil ei-Wei and the
French from Kwangchouwan. In ad-
dition, the Japanese are said to have
agreed to discuss the subject of with
drawal from Manchuria." The Shan,
tung situation depends on the outside
parleys. The French appear to be
making a real effort to help China.

GREAT MOVEMENT
RESULTS OF RECENT coTToI
ACREAGE CAMPAIGN is AP-
PLAUDED.
CONVENTION BLAZED WAY
Dfversification Provided Satisfactory
Food and Feed SuppIy-President
Walker Writes a Letter.

Memphis.-The Cotton States Mer-
chants association is squarely behind
the proposed campaign to prevent an
increase in cotton acreage. This splen-
did organization joins the bankers and
cotton growers of the south in an eff
fort to make the convention to be held
in Memphis December II and 13, even
more successful than was the conven-
ton held in Memphis last year for the
purpose of bringing about a reduction
in cotton acreage.
NJ. A Walker of Covington, presi-
dent of the Cotton States Merchants
association, has sent out to members
an urgent request for them to be pres
ent In this letter the necessity for
sane and safe farming methods is en-
phasized. His letter, in part, is as fol-
lows:
"a great convention was held in De-
cember, 1920, and adopted a platform
touching the acreage to be planted in
cotton in 1921 and the method of fl
nancing the crop, which was accepted
as being sound not only for the present
but for all future. Then the financial
boat was rocking and the outlook was
gloomy. This convention blazed the
way, lighted the gloomy path and the
people followed the leadership.
you know quite well the advanta-
ges to the entire south. to the entire
country, of the successful cotton acre
age reduction campaign of last year.
Cotton is now at good price and di-
vershication has provided a satisfac-
tory food and feed supply.
I'VE merely urge you, as a member
OF the Cotton States Merchants ass0-
cation, to use your influence for a
continued farming program calculated
to assure a better future and urge your
friends and customers to attend the
convention in Memphis on December
1918, 1921.
But permit us to remind you that
psychological conditions greatly IA
vored the work during the last cam
paign. Now it is quite different. 1t
seems to us that the public mind is
more inclined to drift back to the old
method of overproduction OF cotton
and interpretation of food and feed,
therefore it will take line upon line
and precept upon precept to hold them
