General Drought Is
Following Heat Wave

WASHINGTON, July 25.-.R-
Abnormal crop curtailing heat
waves and drought conditions
sweeping over many of the worlds
agricultural regions apparently are
spreading into other sections which
have been enjoying more favorable
weather during the last few weeks.
As the usually hot, dry month Of
August approaches, reports received
by government agricultural and
weather officials indicate drought
conditions and excessively hot Wea-
Their predominating in Europe,
England, Southern China, Austria
liza, Argentina, western Canada, and
in northwestern spring wheat, Cen
trail and New England states.
The outlook for the UniUe1 States
as weather official see it is for
those abnormal conditions to cover
other areas shortly with little re-
lief through local thunder showers
indicated. However, the genera. Sit
uation IS believed not to have
reached a stage where there is Ill
for great alarm. though it IS feared
that unless precipitation comes D
much harm may be done.

HOPES OF PEACE
GROW DINNER

LONDON, July 26.-P-Prospect
for reapproachment between ma
tionalist China and Soviet Russia,
and consequent averting Of war as
an outgrowth Of the crisis in Man
churia, were less reaSSuring today.
While increasingly disturbing re-
ports Of border incidents emanated
from Manchuria the question Of
negotiations to settle the differences
growing out Of seizure Of the Chin
csc Eastern railway appeared to
hang in the balance.
Moscow r(orts told of grave ap-
~prehension lest continued 'atroci-
ties" sponsored by Chinese authori-
ties on Soviet citizens in Manchuria
force Russia to send an expedition
airy force into China to rescue
Soviet citizens"
G. T. Wang, Chinese foreign min
lister in a statement at Shankhai,
said Marking was waiting to hear
from Moscow before beginning ne
EQUATIONS, and he thought it more
likely they would occur at Moscow
than either at Hardin, Changchun,
or central China.
He said Chu zao-Yang, minister
to Finland, would leave Marking
Saturday for Hardin enroute Is
Moscow. There were various re-
ports that Moscow would refuse 10
treat with China until the Chinese
Eastern railway had been returned
to its old status quo otherwise re-
stored.
There were reports from Man
chul1 that Soviet airplanes had
been fired upon by Chinese at Man
chull, at the eastern terminus of
the railroad, and that afterwards
rival armies encamped on opposite
sides OF the frontier there had fired
upon each other.
The danger, in the event Russia
should send an eXpeditionary force
mt Manchuria, was obvious. oh
servers here commented. General
tear was expressed that continual
ton Of such reports from Man
churla as came from Moscow would
SO lrrltate the Soviet Headquarters
as to nullify the efforts which hava
neen made at initiating negotia-
tIonS TO settle the dispute.
