communists put in the final ticks
with which they planned to break
the back Of the convention.
The fight to wreck the conven-

over the question of whether a

once, or later, and the appoint
ment Of an executive committee of
two members from each State to in
dorse La Toilette for the Presi-

announced that after going through

Both of Old. Parties,

CONVENTION HALL, ST. PAUL,
MIMI, June 1S.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Andrew w. Mellon was
denounced today as ''the arch boot.
logger of the age" by State Senator
Charles E. Taylor, Of Montana,
permanent chairman Of the Farmer.
Labor progressive convention.
Taylor's attack upon Mellon came
while he was assailing high Govern.
ment officials generally.
"At the meeting OF the first in
ternationale of capitalism at Cleve.
land last week sat Harry M. Daugh-
erty and Andrew Mellon, the arch
bootlegger Of the age" Taylor de.
clared, and added, ''1 would rather
stt with the reddest reds than with
that bunch that met in Cleveland"
Taylor was elected permanent
chairman through the support of
communist delegates.
This is no time to attack the
reds" he said. THAT is not q
part Of Cur program. We are here
to form mass class third party
which every farmer and toiler in
the country should join
The enthusiasts applause which
greeted this remark was soon lost
IN the hilarious demopstration which
followed when Taylor swung into
IN attack upon the Democrats.
Blaming. both old parties alike for
responsibility in the recent scandals
at Washington, Taylor said:
"The Democrats looted millions
while tho Republicans took only
thousands.
The first internationale. of CAPT.
talism Is over; the second will be
held next week In New York; in
the very citadel of Wall street.
The headquarters WHY be at II
Wall street. The convention win
ratify the convention drawn by
the International Workers Of Wall

Every time Taylor mentioned
Wall street, there were Kisses and
Catcalls all over the hall.

REPLY To JAP
PROTEST
Tokyo Dispatch Says Message
Implies Exclusion Incident
Is Closed
BY DUKE N. PARRY.
International News Service.

TOKYO, June 1S.-America's re.
ply to Japan's exclusion protest.
While friendly and conciliatory in
tone, implies that the incident is
closed SO far as Washington is con.
cerned, 1t was learned today.
There is considerable speculation
as to Japan's next move. It is gen
orally admitted, however. that the
American communication will be
used as the basis Of an attack on
the floor of the Diet when that body
convenes June "a.
Baron Shidehara, foreign mimi Il
in the Kato cabinet, received the
correspondents in audience today
but was noncommittal. The CORE
spondents may have better success
at tomorrow'S meeting.
Study u. s. Note.
The foreign office is STUDYING
closely the American communica,
ton. From sources close to the
foreign office it was learned that
no serious points Of difference have
been found between the Japanese
protest and the American answer.
The communication from Wash
ington is now ready for the public
and probably will be- given to the
press tonight.
From all indications the new
Kato ministry is biding its time
It will make no further protest tc
Washington at this time nor will
any appeal be made to the League
Of Nations.
There has been talk that japan
would issue a manifesto upon, the
exclusion issue, addressed to the
whole world" but no move in this
direction will be taken Immediately
II at all.
Receipt Of the American reply has
opened the whole Immigration
question in the press. This cir
cumstance, taken with the opening
Of the Diet next week has served tc
stimulate activity on the part OF the
"Jingoes" who are accusing the
United States of imperialism.

George Silzer, Of New Jersey, among
others-will take care OF a number
sufficiently large to block two
thirds vote and even possibly a

The Underwood and Smith forces
alone can count Of approximately
400 delegates in the early balloting
and this strength their managers
solemnly assert will never, never
go to McAdoo.
Hence the importance Of the
rules fight.
Issues Closely Drawn.

had there been nottwo.thirds rule al

the whole course of the worlds his
tory might have been changed
thereby.
Substantial agreement has been
reached among the leaders here foI

areas"
The cool and wet wave. Mitchell
explained. may be traced directly TO
the iceberg zone around Newfound-
land and the Grand Banks. Ordinar.
lily, he continued, icebergs start
south in early spring and chill the
Atlantic waters. But, for reasons
az yet undetermined. the icebergs de-
cided to spend this season at home.
Two coast guard cutters making
observations there for u.s. said the
forecaster, reported notable alb,
sence Of bergs. Because Of this,
the temperature Of the water was
seven degrees above normal. That
brought about a corresponding
warmth In the air.
From this you have the incon-
grufty Of Newfoundland enjoying
pleasant. warm weather, while the
the United States, farther south. IL
chilly. The Relationship Is simple.
Warm air and low atmospheric pres.
sure go together. Consequently, the
pressure about Newfoundland is low
just now.
Bringing Cool Air.
when the pressure is low the
air currents that swirl about it
move in a direction opposite to that
followed by the hands of a clock.
Therefore, they have been bringing
cold air down from the northwest
in big circular sweep that would
go, for example, from Montana
down as far as Tennessee.
Were the pressure high, the cur
rents would be moving clockwise.
Then warm air from the southeast
would be swept UP into that terri.
tory now feeling the breath Of the
northwest.
The northwest-to.sout sweep
has permitted a series Of transforms
that otherwise would be herded up
In the extreme northwest to roam
around over the north and central
United States. That Is, 1t has per-
mitted disturbances which cause
these showers to come farther
south"
Mitchell is inclined to the belief
that these phenomena were purely
transitory. Thew were purely local
as far as the earth was concerned,
he said when asked IL he thought
they might be attributed to astral
influences.
Does this trick the iceberg0
played on the United States mean
that perhaps in the future North
America might regulate it's weather
bv sending ice foes south into the
/ Atlantic and Pacific or by prevent
ing them from going south?"
Mitchell was asked.
THAT seems highly improbable
