China Agrees to Mediation
of Its Dispute With
Russia.
FULL ANSWER AWAITED
Preliminary Note Stresses
Fact Chinese Action Can
Not Affect Relations.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

MOSCOW, July 1.-THE var
clouds which have hovered over Asia
since the Chinese seizure of the
Eastern railway in Manchuria began
to diSSipate today with Markings
eleventh-hour reply to the three
day ultimatum of the Soviet union
demanding an immediate conference
for the settlement of the critical
dispute.
Although the Chinese note was
merely a preliminary reply, pending
the receipt in Nsnking of the full
text Of the Soviet ultimatum. its
tone was SO cOnciliatory and friendly
danger of war seemed temporarily
obviated.
The note was transmitted to the
Soviet foreign office by the Chinese
charge d'afaires late last night,
shortly before Russia's time limit
for a reply expired.
The note stressed the fact the
measures taken by the Chinese IN
Manchuria when they seized the
railway were necessary, but they
could not possibly affect the exist
ing diplomatic relatio between
Russia and China. Chu Zao-Yang,
the Chinese minister to Moscow,
now at Marking, will be sent to Mos
COW soon, the note said, presumably
to begin negotiations.
1t was stated here aUthoritatively
the Soviet government will make no
response to this preliminary note
until it receives the final reply to
the full text Of the ultimatum.

SHOULD BE HIGH TARIFF ON VEG
ETABLE OILS

In 1927 we imported into this country more
than 500 million pounds of vegetable oils which
went into the production of soap and oeomargarlne
At the same time we were trying to find an export
market for between 700 million and one billion
pounds of lard. The Minnesota Plan of farm re-
lief sponsored by rural editors in the state, suggests
among other things the wisdom of tariff against
vegetable oil imports SO that we can use American
lard in their places far possible Where is the
sense or fairness of importing foreign vegetable oils
to take the place of American produced fats and
oils? The simple device of tariff against cocoanut
oil, for instance, will help the farmer producing
hogs. The rural editors of Minnesota are trying to
explain these things and northwest sentiment
to demanding farm tariffs scientifically scheduled If
will all get back of the effort can get an emer-
gency tariff bill through the special session of con-
gress to be called after the Inauguration and have
it on the statute books in less than four weeks 1t
would thus begin Immediately its helpful influence
on the 1929 crop. The rural editors are simply
trying to do practical and helpful things for their
farmer readers.

WASTE ON THE FARM
Des Moines Tribune Capitol

Des MONIES Tribune capitol
In the book printed cornstalk paper, DR..
George M. Rommel, of the department of agricul-
ture explains that the paper is made with soda pro-
cess by mixture of rs per cent Of sulphite wood
pulp. But the chemists expect to reduce the wood
content to 10 per cent.
The paper for the book was made by mill a:
Kalamazoo, and the coated paper for the illustra-
tons by another mill at Plainwel1, both in Michi-
gan. Evidently the only way in which the corn
stalk paper process differs from any other is in the
preparing of the pulp. From it any mill can read
lily make up the paper
There is now a mill at Danvi1e, Ill.,, making
newsprint paper from cornstalks The pulp is being
taken by other factories for experimenting to see
what can be made from it. These attempts more
than likely to result in rapid growth Of the bust
ness.
Dr. Rommel has been in the department of ag-
rculture for 20 years. and is called the outstanding
chemist in agriculture. If he has succeeded in max
ing practicable cornstalk paper he has done a
great service for the publishing business and an
even greater service for the farm.
1t will not be long surely, before we find num-
other ways of using the present large amount
of waste material from the farm. It is esti-
mated that only one-ffth to ene-half of what is
grown is marketable.

AUTO POWER BY RADIO

Another prediction which may sound fantastic
made the other day, to the effect that shall
in few years have automobiles that will run with
out fuel, the motive power being supplied from a
central station by radio.
The idea is advanced, not by crank or vision
airy, but no less authority that G. M. Williams,
president of the Marmon company, who declares
that such plan is receiving serious consideration
by leading automotive engineers.
According to this plan, each car would have
certain receiving wave length and by throwing the
switch generator of corresponding wavelength in
the central station would supply the power. Many
cars might have the same wavelength, long as
the total load could be carried by the corresponding
generator.
We do not vouch for the pract1cabiity of this
suggestion, but only pass it on indication of
what may happen. In any event it illustrates the
daring conceptions of the modern engineer. And
who can say that the idea may not some day be
made to work?
