Manchuria's War Lord Intervenes

mancnurla war LORD 1nterVeneS.
A little less than two and a half
years after Marshal Chang Tso-lin, the
war lord of Manchuria, who aspired to
the dictatorship of China, left Peking
in virtual fight from the troops of
Yen Hsi-shan, then Nationalist COM
mander in the North today Marshal
Chang Hsueh-liang, his son and sue
cessor as marshal of Manchuria, is
about to enter Picking, in command Of
a large army of his own troops. An
advance force of Manchurian soldiers
has already occupied Tientsin and
meanwhile a conference has been held
between Marshal Chang and the repre-
sentatives of the short-lived Northern
government formed by Yen and Feng
Yu-hsiang. The Marking government
headed by Chang Kai-shek halls this
move of the Manchurian marshal as
assuring the end of civil war in China
This, however, is not established.
The role that has been played by
Chang Hsueh-liang has been one of
mystery throughout the period Of revo-
luton in the North and Communism IN
the South. He has made several moves
that have apparently contradicted one
another. He has quite successfully held
himself aloof from the struggle and
maintained persistently the part of
peacemaker, at the same time preserV-
ing his status of commander of an
| independent army and administrator
| of separate state. 1t has been ap-
parently his game TO pick the winner
in the flight between South and North
and to side with that faction that in
the final stage of the contest showed
the greatest strength. That side is the
/ South.
But there are hints in the dispatches
that secret understanding has been
reached between Yen and Chang, the
Mukden marshal agreeing to swing into
Chilli Province at the critical juncture,
while the Shensi governor, who has
failed to effect winning coalition at
Peking, rettres TO his own province fer re-

Running Afoul the Law.

The fact that nearly a fourth of
Weshington's population was arrested
in the last fiscal year is more signifi-
cant in its bearing on a relatively new
sociological phenomenon than as a
commentary on the lawleSsness of the
the situation revealed anew by Po-
lice Department statistics is not pc
culiar to Washington alone. Every
American municipality is likewise af-
fected in greater or less degree, depend
ing a good deal upon the zeal and
activity of the police force.
Every American municipal council
and State Legislature, not to mention
the Congress, has adopted the same
formula in dealing with the inevitable
accomplishments of what We are pleased
10 call progress, and that formula is to
enact more laws. Every law passed
means another law to be broken. The
automobile brought conditions I'M
dreamed of forty years ago, and the
laws dealing with regulation of auto
mobile traffic alone cannot be passed
fast enough to suit the average official.
The radio brought other conditions and
Q whole code of radio law is in the
making So it has been with prohibit
ton, aeronautics, heating plants, ele-
vators and beauty parlors. That one
fourth of the population of Washington
last year ran afoul some of the count
less laws and regulations that now
control the coming and going of every
citizen every day is not nearly so amaz-
ing as that the remaining three-fourths
of the population went scot-free and
kept out of trouble.
What will come of it in the end
nobody knows. Some one may hit upon
. new formula, translated from or into
q new philosophy, that will not depend
upon statutory law or regulation to
govern the lives of men. But that
. new point of view has developed re-
garding the incidental and almost
necessary violation of law in the COM
pick social order of the day. Our best
citizens chuckle without shame over
having been arrested for some infrac-
ton of law-running past a red light
or permitting a tail light to burn out.
The virtuous housewife and faithful
mother zestfully describes the after
math of burst of speed down some
smooth avenue The architect of the
United States Capitol does not conceal
his grin when served with a warrant
for violating the smoke regulation. Such
transgressions have become the rule
The reason the volume of these trans
gressions leads to great interest and
possibly to viewing with alarm is that
We still apply the old point of view to
violation Of law as a principle and
interpret the figures alone without TAX
ing into account the nature and the
tnevitability Of such violations. The
time has come when the otherwise up
right citizen pays his fine for law
violation in the same spirit with which
he writes his income tax check, some
thing that Is necessary and unavoid-
able, il unpleasant.
In spite of the hundred thousand odd
arrests in the District last year, how
ever. it is encouraging to note the de-
crease in cases involving felonies. In
the fiscal year 1929 there were 4,061
felony cases. In the last fiscal year
there were only 4,o57. We are better,
By four good citizens and true, than we
used to be!

IIEUP THREATENS
GRAIN STORAGE At
TERMINAL POINTS
Elevators Unable to Handle
More Than Half Of Crops;
Canada Glut Factor
FARM BINS ARE NECESSARY
Critical Situation Is Due to Sur
plus Left From 1929, Says
Economist Willard
By Rex E. willard, farm economist,
North Dakota Agricultural College.

Available storage space, both coun-
try and terminal. is apparently SUI
ficient for about half Of the estimat-
ed wheat crop. Spring wheat pro-
duction is estimated at about 12,O0O,-
600 bushels greater than last year.
The flax crop has an increase OF
about 13, 900, 900 bushels. There is a
probable increase OF above IA 600 900
bushels in the barley crop in North
Dakota alone.
The storage capacity at the Twin
Cities and at the head of the lakes
amounts to about 120, 900 900 bushels,
or about 100000 bushels more
than last year. There are about
$4,000, 900 bushels Of new con-
struction being added. The stor-
age capacity of country elevators IN
North Dakota Is about 50.O0O,OOO
bushels and the working capacity is
about 10 per cent less. There are
about II, 600, 900 bushels OF grain IN
elevators and on farms in North Da-
kota. There were about 61,OOO,OOO
bushels in storage at the terminals.
July 5, and this has been moving out
at the rate of aobut 100000 bushels
per week.
Railroads Fear Terminal Blockades
It is reported that the railroads
will be able to handle the grain as
fast as it is offered, provided they
are not blocked at the terminals. 1t
is further reported that the Canadian
government has appealed to the Eng
lish government to buy its future re-
ouirements at once in advance for
shipment. This would relieve the "a
madam storage situation, since the
Georgian bay and st. Lawrence ports
are now practically filled to capacity
from last years crop. This Will m
phasize the danger Of a market glut
for United States wheat, because OF
the fact that English requirements
will have been taken care Of and this
may still further back up wheat sup
plies to the country elevators and re-
ouire farm storage as an absolute
necessity.
Wholesale prices OF both agricul-
tural and n-agricultural commodi-
ties have declined about 4 per cent
during the past month. This oecnne
continues to reflect world wide
business conditions. Farm prices de-
clined from May to June and have
continue to decline to the middle OF
July with some upturn In prices since
July IS. North Dakota farm prices
dropped about 5 per cent from June II
to July Is.
Drop in Prices Worse Abroad
In seven important foreign coun'
tries prices dropped IA per cent from
the spring Of 1923 to the spring o.
1890, while the drop amounted tt
about IL per cent in the United
States. This decline in price level /.
largely responsible for further reces.
sion in business activity. Foreign
trade with the United States, both ex.
ports and imports, were reduced more
than 20 per cent during the first foul
months Of 1890, compared to that o.

eign countries are reducing the De.
.and for our exports. The new tariff
law increases the average import du-
ties to about is per cent, compared
to less than IA per cent under the
law Of 1922.
Crop About so7 900. 900 Bushels
The wheat crop in the United
States is estimated to be about SO7,-
000, 1000 bushels which is slightly
larger thar, that of last year: France
and italy will have short crops. Italy
has placed a tariff of 86 cents % I'M
ported wheat and France has likewise
Increased the wheat tariff. The In
dications are that the world supply
TINS year will be not far different
than that Of last year. Lower prices
will undoubtedly prevail because OF
the world wide industrial depression.
Durum markets will be on an export
basis with difficulty Of finding a sat-
isfactory outlet.
Flax Crop Doubled
The indicated flax crop of about
30, 900 900 bushels is almost a 100 per
cent increase over that Of last year
in the United States. 1t is now indi-
Gated that the consuming demand for
linseed oil in this country will likely
be Is per cent lower than last year.
However, United States requirements
will still doubtless exceed supplies IN
this country, so that the present IS
per cent tariff probably will be large
" effective. Prices have declined to
as low as $1.81 at Fargo but have
since returned to about 81. The ad-
verse weather conditions Of tire past
two weeks undoubtedly are RESPONSE
BILE for a reduction in the size Of the
crop from the July estimate, and a
consequent upturn in price.

Harrington
Again Writes
a Romance
Mckay Morris viii Have
Lead in Colonel
Satan

ON Monday night, Jan. 5, George
~ c. Tyler, in association with
the Erlanger Productions, Inc, will
present Colonel Satan" by Booth
Harrington, at English's for four
performances only.
Colonel Satan" is the first play
that Harrington has written in ten
years. Like Monsieur Beaucaire,"
by the same author, it is a period of
romance in costume. But here the
likeness of the two plays ends.
Colonel Satan" may be called an
ironic romance. The story deals
with one exciting night in the life
Of Burr, who was an expatriate in
France at the time the play oc-
ours, 1911. The action of Colonel
Satan" takes place ir Paris.
Harrington knows his Paris as
few Americans do, and it is not too
much to say that he knows his
Aaron Burr as no other American
does.
In Colonel Satan" he gives us a
different Burr from the black pic
ture presented in the history books.
Tarkington's Burr is definitely hu-
man. slightly ironic and wholly
fascinating.
Mckay Morris has been chosen
by Tyler and Mr.. Harrington to play
the title role. Jessie Royce Lands
will play Madame La Barronne de
Bannalac, the woman's lead.
