the farmers have been faithful to the
party that has been faithless to them"
Regardless OF political affiliations. the
farmers duty. he said. can be deter
mined by a comparison of the attitude
OF the two candidates toward aericul-
tilre.
In this connection he quoted Herbert
Hoover as saying that III we can deter
mine what are the long views over
decade. then current practice can be
better directed toward those ends. Con-
sideratiofl Of the long view is vital
TO any program.
Turning to Gov Smith. he referred
to the Democratic nominees announced
intention OF calling a conference. II
elected. TO study the agricultural situ-
alton and work ont program before
Congress meets. This he termed quite
a different thing from the long views

the funeral train, while many school
children gathered along the roads to
Mexico City. Soldiers lined the streets
of the capital, all wearing arm bands
OF mourning, and throughout the city
ha9s were at halfmaSt and most bust
ness offices were closed.
Many thousands Of MeXicanS, high
and low, paid their final tribute to the
memory of Capt. Carran2a, as the flu
neral train sped through the state Of
San Luis Potosi yesterday. AT every
station persons gathered, their heads
uncovered, as the funeral coach passed.
Perhaps the most touching scene
occurred at Ramos Arizpe, the home
town of the goodwill flyer" where the
train halted for an hour in order that
Capt. Carranza's friends and former
playmates might bow before the casket.
FuSC OF all 10 appear was MS agSQ
nurse. who broke into tears and cried
"Pobrecito Emilio" Poor Emiliol' Peas

HOOVER CONSULTS
SENATOR Johnson
Conference Invited on Plans
for Political Campaign
in California.

bF tHE RNSbCAALeN TIEcct
PALO ALTO, Calf, July 23-Re-
Stunning his conferences with Republican
political leaders of California, Herbert
Hoover today had invited Senator Hiram
Johnson to his home on Stanford Uni
versity campus for luncheon and dis
cussion Of the general situation after
ward
The senior California Senator is up
for reelection this year and expects
to conduct vigorous campaign, in
which national and State leaders look
to him to materially assist the cause
Of the KooverCurtis ticket.
Johnson Backs Hoover.
While Senator johnson long has been
identified with the so-called progress
sive wing of the party and has stood
four-square against some Of the Issues
which the Republican presidential
nominee has supported In the past, 1t
is stated that he and his followers are
united with the more conservative ele-
nents In their support OF a Californian
for the presidency.
One chief point of contact between
the nominee and the Senator is the
Boulder Canyon Dam issue, Secretary
Hoover assisted In negotiating the sew
en-State, compact and has been an
ardent supporter Of the legislation.
Senator johnson is ee-author of the
Boulder Dam bill which is the unfin-
ished business of the Senate at the con-
vening of the next session and which
the Senator believes cannot be stopped
by a filibuster this time ms it has been
at the two preceding sessions.
Others See G.. o. p. Nominee.
Besides Senator Johnson Mr.. Hoover
also had an appointment today with
Albert Ottinger, Attorney General OF
New York State, and probable candi-
date for Governor of New York on the
Republican ticket From him the Re-
publican standard bearer hoped to get
a closeup view of the political sitia-
ton In the Empire state as it bears
upon the national election in November.

JAPAN HOLDSFAST
TO CHINA TREATY
Toxic Government Refuses
Nationalist Request to
Abrogate Trade Pact.
b. the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC. July 23.-Japan has definite
ly declined to consent to abrogation of
the commercial treaty with China.
Word of this was sent today to Ken
kichi Yoshizawa. Minister at Peking.
He VS. instructed, however. to in
form the Nationalist foreign office. at
Marking, that Japan was willing to ne
gotiate for revision of the treaty.
The note to the japanese Minister,
and which he was told to transmit to
Marking. stated that the government
here considered that the Nationalist
had taken an illegal step in notifying
the Japanese representatives that the
treaty had been abrogated This was
the basis for the definite refusal to ac-
cept the notice of abrogation.
Treaty Called Unequal"
the treaty were abrogated. Japa-
nese residents in China would be placed
under the jurisdiction of the law en-
farcement agencies Of that country. The
treaty is one of the unequal pacts
which the Nationalist desire to cancel
They claim that special privileges Tor
foreigners in China place the Chinese
In an inferior position
While Japan's relations with Nam
king are Nutwardly unchanged. the sit
uation is considered potentially dan
gerous. Premier Tanaka is holding
frequent meetings with other high Of
ficials to discuss Chinese relations. and
it is understood that the government is
frankly worried over the possible out
come.
There has been at least temporary
lessenang of tension over the Manchu-
rian question. Official quarters have
learned that Chang Hsueh-Liang. sue
cessor of his father. Chang Tso-Lin, as
war lord of that province. has consented
to drop for time his negotiations look
ing toward the joining of Manchuria to
the Nationalist government at Nanking
He has also agreed to respect the exist
ing japanese agreements in Manchrria.
1t is probable that the negotiations with
the Nationalist will be resumed later.
