MORE TROUBLE IN CHINA WITH NEW
 REVOLT STARTED
Insurrection, Which Aims at Overthrow of Gen Chiang as Dictator, Has Begun in the South
BY H. R. EKINS

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Shanghai, China, May 1-(UP)-
 The fate of nationalist China's much assailed but thus far invulnerable
 "Soong dynasty" may be brought to
 an issue within short time, ac-
 cording to indications to-day from
 various parts of the country. A new insurrection has started, and, as has often been the case through China's history. it's momen-
 tum appears to have come from the south. A manifesto from Canton
 declared cit to be not anti-govern-
 ment. but directed solely against the
 personal dictatorship of Gen Chiang
 Kai-Shek.
 Linked with Chiang in the mani
 festo is his astute brother-in-law, T. V. Soong, minister of finance. Both
 must go, according to rebels. If
 they go, with them will go the gov- ernmental dominance eof the
 wealthy Soong family of Shanghai. which is allied with Chiang by a variety of ties.
 The government has thus far met the latest threat calmly. and indi- cated its confidence that the move
 ment will soon be overcome. Ranking authorities insist that all | Is well. A government spokesman declared that successful meeting
 of the peoples national convention.
 which assemblies May 5, will remove the last possibility of military ac- ton against the central power. Lead CTS of the rebellion, on the other hand. said that Chiang has few troops in Nanking and claimed that, if it is necessar yto resort to arms, the generalissimo has mo chance"

To Thank All
 Who Lent Aid William H. Harris to Send Letter to Different
 Companies

A letter of thanks will be sent by William M. Harris to the personal finance companies which cancelled all interest and principal payments for five months for men employed by the Mutual Aid Unemployment committee.
 Last November, it was apparent that many men had small loans and that part of the wage they would receive would be turned over to pay the interest and principal on their loans. An agreement was effected whereby no payments on interest or principal would be taken from any one under the care of the committee.
 The firms which cooperated includ- ed the following: Personal Finance O., Connecticut Cash Credit Corp, Consolidated Plan of Connecticut. Ipc., Franklin Plan of America, New England Equity Corp, Phoenix Fi- nance Co.,, of Waterbury, and the Waterbury Mutual Loan association, Inc.

EASY MONEY POLICY
is AIM OF RESERVE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board is com
mitted to an easy money policy in the
stimulation Of foreign and domestic
commerce
Such a policy was formulated before
the present acute situation arose in
Germany, and it is said that the pro-
gram OF the board is so flexible as TO
dovetail into whatever agreement the
central powers of Europe may arrive
at with respect to furnishing German
credit.
While responsible members Of the
board are maintaining a tight-lipped
silence, 1t Is said the system might
render aid through the purchase of for
elgn bills or the extension of self
liquidating short-term credits. At the
same time no indication was given that
such procedure would be immediate
or persistent. but rather should be in
serted into the situation if and when
fluctuations dictate.
Opinion cannot be had as to whether
Inc boards banks would act in concert
IN any measure designed to help Ger
many. or whether it would be left TO
the leadership Of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York. The latter institu-
ton Is more fully conversant with for
elgn affairs than any other and. 1t is
presumed, would be the logical leader
in any steps that might be taken.
In this connection it might be men
toned the act creating the Federal Re-
serve System enables regional members
to lend to central banks with the sane
ton OF the Federal Reserve Board. The
boards supervisory powers are not COM
pellant, however. as no regional mem
Der can be forced into loan it does not

Business Notes
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July l6.-While con-
siderable shopping to test values is being
done. the week has brought with it
decided increase in Fall buying and
about measures up to expectations at
this time, resident buying executives in
New York report. Initial orders for
August delivery were placed by many
nearby retailers. as well as ones located
in the Middle West and South. AS vet
no marked trend toward better r1er-
chandise has developed. and in the
opinion OF some resident representatives
this will require consistent campaign
to get buyers out of the price nut they
became accustomed 10 in the Spring.
Early buying of Ecvelty jewelry is
proceeding along satisfactory lines, re-
ports in the trade in New York indicate
The emphasis on popular price mer-
chandise which featured the Spring and
Summer buying Is giving way to some
extent to a call for better goods The
new lines attracting most buying inter
the French Colonial Exposition being
held in Paris.
Part Of the slowness with which dress
manufacturers are placing current
orders for Fall silks IS traced to the
strong popularity of wooden dresses in
the early Fall lines. In some quarters,
however, it is felt that somewhat too
great an emphasis has been placed on
wooden styles at this time. While this
will only be satisfactorily determined
by the course of buying by retailers and
consumer reaction during the period
directly ahead, the expectation is that
silk styles will come into their own as
the season advances.
Displeased with reports of sales volume
during the first six months Of the cur
rent year, grocery product manufac-
turers will launch drives within the
next week in an effort to increase both
the size and number Of orders during
the coming months, trade reports in
New York said.

INCREASE IN PEANUT
ACREAGE is REPORTED
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July 16-Virginia' s
peanut acreage was increased 10 per
cent this year over 1880 and is now ap-
proximately 1896 acres, Henry M.
Taylor. Federal-State agricultural stat
istician, announced yesterday.
Growers had intended planting a
larger acreage" Mr.. Taylor said, but
because Of poor seed and cool and wet
weather at planting time the stand was
so poor in many fields that the peanuts
were plowed up and the land planted
to other crops. Many growers report
planting three times before they were
able to secure q stand"
Mr. Taylor said the crop is later than
usual and the stand poor, but that the
fields have generally been we'll worked
and are free from grass. The yield
cannot be forecast so early in the sea-
son, he added. as 1t Is usually deter
mined by weather conditions during
July and August.
Peanut acreage throughout this coun-
try was said to have been increased 81
per cent over last year. being about 80
per cent larger in the Southwestern
States and about 10 per cent in the
Virginia Carolina sections. The condi-
ton on July Of II per cent Of normal
was below the average.
