CHICAGO, November 6.-Grain fu-

a sharp break at the opening of to-
days session.

lower quotations abroad caused wild

Large numbers of small orders soon
turned the tide the other way, making

Gradually the bullish sentiment so
prevalent during the past month began
to crop out again and the deferred de-
iveries worked their way slowly up

May wheat climbed back up to
69ia and was only l to 70 cent under
yesterdays close. December was traded
in at about a cent loss for the day.
December corn at A was still more
than 2 cents under yesterdays close,
but the other contracts showed net
losses of a little over a cent.
At its early low figure, May wheat
touched SO cents, cents under the
maximum set in the sensational advance
Of the last month. The first few min

bled political and economic situation
Of the world to push their militaristtc
aims Of grabbing a large territory be-
longing to foreign nation which hap
pens to be in a turmoil
This is evidenced by the develop
ments since last September. The jap
anese representative at the League o.
Nations acting under instruction from
the Toxic foreign office, agreed at that
time to the resolutions passed by the
Council on September 80 that Japan
would withdraw her troops II the Chi
nese guaranteed to give adequate pro-
lection to the japanese nationals living
outside the japanese zone.
Later. however, the Japanese military
scored over the foreign Office and on
October % Japan changed its attitude
and stated that the troops would not
be withdrawn unless the Sino-Japaness
treaties OF 1909 and 1915 were recog
niZed and accepted by the Chinese gov
eminent
The question OF these treaties formed
a long and old argument between Japan
and China. Both the League of Ma
tions and our own Government took
the position that while it was advisable
to put an end to that quarrel, this had
nothing to do with the occupation OF a
portion Of the Chinese &rritory by the
japanese. Japan gave the impression
to the outside world that she was hold
ing her opponent by the throat and was
endeavoring to obtain a ne-sided solu-
ton by forceful means.
Notes ScOrned by Military
The attention of the Toxic govern
ment was drawn to this fact While
japanese diplomats were endeavoring
to explain the situation and trying to
and a compromise between what ap-
peared TO them to be a just point OF
view Of the signatories of the Kellogg
pact and the wishes of the japanese
military cast. the Japanese general staff
scorned the diplomatic notes and went
ahead with their plans for the occupa-
ton of Manchuria.
Both the Council OF the League and
our own State Department were con-
WINGED the saner viewpoint of the Toxic

but from the developments of the last
4S hours 1t appears the military cast
in japan had run amuck and that the
foreign office Is absolutely powerless
More than that; 1t is apparently being

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Oficial and diplomatic circles in
Washington are puzzled about the mani
festo of the Russian Communist party
urging China not to yield to the Japa-
neSe.
The general opinion is that the Rus
sian Communist party is taking ad-
vantage of the unfortunate situation
in Manchuria and is endeavoring TO in
dulge in what may prove useful propa-
ganda.
The Communist party Is the only
existing political organization in Rus
STA and its leaders are members OF
the Russian government. As such
naturally any declaration coming from
the Communist party headquarters
must be considered as representing the
views OF the Russian government. On
the other hand there have been many
instances when the Communist party
took advantage Of certain international
situations to express views which were
were not afterward carried out by the
Soviet government.
Military Steps Held Unlikely.
These views were used for intense
propaganda with the object CT stirring
up trouble, but when it came to putting
them into action, the Russian govern
ment refused to he drawn into any
serious adventure. This, it Is believed
in well informed circles in Washington,
is the situation today. Russia may
cause a good deal OF trouble by dis
rupting the Nationalist &c sernments in
China or by drawing tn I'M into their
sphere, but it is consid6 red most I'M
likely that the Soviet government &C
tually considers taking any military
steps against Japan. The interior
situation in Russia is reliably reported
10 be extremely serious. military &C
tion against Japan would call for an
effort which Russia Is unable to fur
nish today. She may be in a position
to assist the Chinese troops by furnish
ing them a certain amount of war ma
terial especially for military aviation
machines and pilots-but it Is con-
sidered In competent circles the Russian
Intervention cannot 60 further.
Grave Apprehension Felt.
The situation is causing all the same
the gravest apprehension in our Official
quarters japan seems to live still in
the nineteenth century and to have
adopted the well known slogan that
might is right" The efforts Of the
liberal minded Japanese foreign Office
appear to have been thwarted by the

We will hold our conference Novem-

Smell said that despite the close divi-
sion of power he believed the party
which organized the House would con-
tinue in control throughout the
Seventy second Congress.
If the Democrats organize the

keep the responsibility. If we organize
we will expect to take and keep the re-
sponsibility for the passage OF much

1T would be useless for the two par
ties to fight over control after the House

The death of Representative Wurz-
