JAPAN'S FINANCIAL
 CONDITION ACUTE
Business Falls Of, Unemploy- ment Rises in Island Empire

Tokyo, April 24 CUP) = Japan's critical financial and economic sit uation probably will have a consfd- crable effect on the extraordinary session of the dict which got down to business today.
 Business has become increasingly worse since the first of the year, the number of unemployed has increas- cd. and gold reserves of the Bank of Japan are sinking steadily. Lead- CTS of the Seiyukai-the principal opposition party in parliament plan to attack the government as responsible for much of the acute depression.
 The primary plank in the Hama guchi cabinets platform was re- moval of the embargo on exports of gold and silver which had pre- vailed since the World war. Pub lie works were curtailed as soon as the cabinet was formed last year and and other economy measures instituted to make possible the lift ing of the gold embargo. The en- bargo was taken off January II, after the yen had been forced up to par-about two for one with tho American dollar.

BLAMES DIETING
 FOR FARM ILLS
Agriculture Secretary Urges Production Control

Chica go. April 24 LP,-Arthur NJ. Hyde, secretary of agriculture. sug- gested to the Chicago Commercial club last night that widespread diet ing is in part responsible for the troubles of the farmers.
 "If there were no diet experts in- flucncing the people in what they should east there would be no farm product surplus" said Secretary Hyde.
 The secretary declared the eco homie tendencies of the country are against the farmer, the introduction of the automobile and the tractor on the farm has thrown into disuse all the horses that were formerly used, and this, in turn, threw into the market all the production of those acres that were formerly used to feed live stock, he said, continu- ing:
 The secret of the farmers posi- ton lies in the increased output and the decreased market. each in itself causing the farmer to suffer but in conjunction making the situation un- bearable. In plain language. the farmer has lost his shirt but doesn't know where or how.'
 Secretary Hyde declared the remedy is the control of production.

Hartford, April 4 - Busy Ora ham, finishing his last hard work out of the prc-battlc period at the St. Nicholas gym yesterday after noon, voiced again his prediction of earlier in the week that he will win within four rounds over Bat Batta- limo at the state armory Friday night.
 Bushy certainly wins all awards for confidence. He does not aco the champion as the equal of several fighters he has either beaten or held to very close decisions. such as Fay Tor, Chocolate, LaBarba, Montreal and others, and says his superior boxing and greater experience will win for him handily. Graham says he is generally rated as solely a. boxer but he answers this by pointing to his two linoclldow of Chocolate and his four knock downs of Bud Taylor in 1895 when Taylor was at the peak. Graham is in great shape. Utica newspaper men, commenting on his two weeks of training at home be- fore he came to Hartford, say it is the first fight in years in which he has made so intensive an effort to be in great shape.
 Battalino is less yolublc than his opponent of Friday night.
 Told what Graham has to say, Bat reverted to the familiar and popular "Oh yeah? and then said: Hes going 10 knock mo, oh? It might be the other way
 Battalino was never given to pre- battle mouthings; he thinks it should be done in the ring with the real weapons of warfare. Graham will not have h real work out today; yesterday he was down to | 126 1-2 and he docs not want to take | off any moro weight as this not be-
 ing q title affair both boys will come in over the fcathcrNciGht limit ot lH6.
 Battalino still has safe margin of weight so he will put in q hard afternoons work today.
 No bout held in Hartford in a long | time has excited equal interest and the indication is a record indoor gate | for Connecticut. Promoter Hurley | looks to sec it go well beyond the | so3,0 house drawn out by the Bat, toino- Hernandez bout in February The difference of opinion as to the l outcome with a majority favorins Graham to win, has stimulated the interest.
 The undercard has promise of q lot of action.
 Joe Smith, Hartford kayo special ist, meets Bobby Brown, seasoned Lowell. Mass, veteran in the semi final of eight rounds and this should be real slugfest S both are aggrcs- sive and hard hitters. The balance of the card: Six rounders-Ralph Lenny, Union City, N. J., vs. Henry Zack New York; lazy kaplan. Meriden. vs Johnny Clinch. New Britain; Mickey Flahive, Hartford, vs. Pete Petrollc Fargo, N. D.
