EXAMINE TERMINAL SPACE

Washington, Sept. l2.-(R)-Thc
high protein content of Canadian
wheat, adequate storage facilities and
favorable transportation rates were
cited today by officials Of the bureau
Of agricultural economies as impor-
tant factors contributing to the dis
parity between Canadian and Ameri-
can wheat prices.
The buresh yesterday undertook an
investigation At the request Of the
federal farm board to learn the
causes Of the disparity and what
bearing storage facilities In this coun-
try had on 1t.
Foreseeing the need Of the farm
board for such information. the bu-
reau, under the direction Of its chief.
Nils A. Olson, has been studying the
situation for some time, and much Of
the data requested Is available, Al
though . field survey Is to be cor-
Quoted Of country and terminal stor-
age space.
Canadian Prices Detter
The greatest disparity in prices
were found by DR.. q. G. Stine, chief
Of the division Of statistical and his
torical research, to be on cash grain
and grain for delivery in the immed-
late or near future. generally from
eight to nine cents 4 bushel In favor
Of the Canadians. It was found also
that dominion grain generally had
higher protein content and there was
q tendency In the world market to
pay q premium for It because Of its
better suitability for flour milling
purposes.
Preferential freight rates In Canada
also were found to bring growers al
most 10 cents Z bushsl more at the
point Of delivery than received BY
domestic growers. In addition. Cana
dian spring wheat crop WINS short aIid
was handled without difficulty be.
cause Of sufficient storage and ham
ding facilities. Also It was found that
with the Canadian crop being har-
vested later than the domestic crop.
more time was allowed for 1t to be
handled.
Heavy Garry Over II y. 3.
In contrast. heavy carryOver Of
domestic winter wheat and the COM
paratively early spring wheat crop
clogged American storage space and
resulted In slow movement to market.
Up until this year. according to the
findings Of DR.. Slime, premium had
been paid In the country for high pro-
tein wheat, but this has practically
disappeared because MI American
wheat held an unusually high aver
age Of protein.
Because Of different classes Of
wheat and different bases Of future
contracts, DR.. Stine said, the situa-
tion was complicated but he Was con-
fident that the bureau would arrive
at the solution.

NEW SIGNAL To
SPEED TRAFFIC

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 0.N,SO.-A
new system of automatic traffic
control was demonstrated for the
first time last night before the mem
bers of the New York Electrical
Society.
The new system Is designed to
eliminate unnecessary traffic de-
lays caused bv a red light stop
signal when no vehicles are waiting
on side streets to cross the inter.
section.
Under the new system the mo-
tOrists on the buster street are
given green "go" signal contin'
uously until a car on the cross
street comes within short dis
tanCe of the intersection, at which
time the lights automatically stop
traffic on the main highway. The
lights will then revert. to the con-
tinuous go" signal.
The invention is the work of DR.,
Phillips Thomas, research en-
gineer of the Westinghouse Com
pany. The automatic feature is
made possible by application of the
phOto-electric cell, or electric eye.
1t operates when the shadow of
the automobile or other vehicle
falls on it. Ordinary shadows do
not affect the "eye."

LONGEST

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 Q.N.S).-In
transcontinsntal air mail, the United
States has the longest continuous
and regularly operated air mail
in the world.
The American Air Transport AS
sociation gives these facts about
the cross.country flight-of air malt
from the Statue of Liberty to the
Golden Gate.
The distance is $3.50 miles.
Mail planes fly 2,750,00O miles a
wear, shutting back and forth on
it. The planes traverse eleven
states and make thirteen stops,
and often the mail is sufficient to
warrant running planes in doIDle
sections just as trains are operated.
Planes carry from One-haf to ton
of mail and express.
The route passes over three noun.
tain ranges: The Allegheny's.
Rockies and Sierra Nevadas. and
from sea level on two seapOrts to
$4,000 feet in hurdling the Sierras.
There are more miles of, lights
and beacons on this 2,6S0-mile hep
between New York and San Fran.
cisco than there are on all of Eu.

New York to San Francisco Bay is

LABOR" REGIME
LAYS BASIS FOR
WAR UPON USSR
Henderson 1nterprets'
Comintern Activity

LONDON, Ne =. 19.-Arthur Hen
derson of the 'labor" party and
British foreign secretary, informed
the House of Commons that the ola
Dor" government regards the Soviet
government responsible, under the
recent protocol signed by both the
British and Soviet government, for
propaganda of the Communist In
ternational.
The protocol merely provides for
confirmation of the terms of the
treaty of 1924. There is no provision
against the Communist International
in the 1924 treaty negotiated by the
first ''labor" government, since the
question of the Communist Interna-
tional could not be raised against the
Soviet government unless the anti
Soviet activities of the Second Inter-
national of which the "1abor" gov
eminent leaders are officials also
being questioned.
The announcement of Henderson,
therefore, in view of the fact that
negotiations with the Soviet govern
ment were forced on the present
tabor" government by British work.
ers, constitutes an advance excuse
for breaking off relations when Brit
ish Imperialism deems the moment
ready for war against the Soviet
Union.
Moscow dispatches on the ques-
ton of Henderson's attitude quotes
the "Pravda" as saying:
eve are not in the least led
astray as to the intentions of Brit
ish Imperialism, the official repre-
sentatives of which at present is the
labor party. We know Premier Mac
Donald has as little intention as for
mer Premier Baldwin to retreat from
attack upon the Soviet System and
from preparations for its overthrow
by means of war. Nevertheless we
do not refuse to establish diplomatic
and trade relations, and we will not
demand from the British govern
ment that it withdraw from the Lea
que of Nations or that Premier Mac
Donald and the labor party assume
responsibility for anti-Soviet pro-
paganda or for activities of the Sec
ond International, of which the Ia
bor' party is an influential member"

His British Majesty,
Says Henderson, Has
Not Yielde d Mexico

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Just to re-
mind the Yankees on the day U. S.
imperialism forced the election" of
Ortiz Rubio as president of Mexico,
that British imperialism is not for
getting that part of Latin America,
a question was puC to Henderson,
foreign secretary, in the Commons
Mond"-- about the defaulting bonds
of the Mexican external debt.
Henderson replied that His
Majesty's government (that is, the
labor" government is not in a posi-
ton to take any steps in regard to
these defaults until it is approached
in the matter by properly qualified
agents of British bondhoIders, who
are, of course, already in collabora-
ton with American bondholders.
Any such representations would re-
ceive most careful attention from
His Majesty's government"
This is obviously an encourage
ment to any opposition in Mexico,
such as that of Vasconcelos, to re-
sort to armed action to overthrow
U. 5. dominance expressed in the
election of Rubio last Sunday.

British Arrest 700
More African Negro
Workers at Durham

BURBAN, Natal, South Africa,
Nov. 19.-The resistance Of the
Negro workers to British imperial
ism is still strong in spite of the
war-like raid made to over-awe them
last week under the guise of collect
ing poll taxes. Early yesterday an
other sortie of police armed with
machine guns, tear gas and rifles
descended on the native workers
quarters to collect poll tax due last
March but which these Negro work
ers had refused to pay thus far.
AS a result TOO were arrested.
This action of the local authorities
S sanctioned by the labor" govern
nent at London, as the Negroes of
South Africa have lately shown
strong tendencies to following the
leadership of the Communist Party,
and the labor imperialists hope by
a strong show of force to prevent a
serious anti-imperialist movement.
