HARDIN PLAN Baked.
Threat of Strife Blocks New Govern
ment Favorable to Japan.
BY the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
TSITSIHAR, Manchuria, November
ga threat Of civil strife at Hardin
has temporarily baked the plan Of
setting up q pro-Japanese government
here following the evacuation of Gen.
Nah Chan-Shan after last Wednesdays
Japanese offensive.
Chang Ching-Hui, Governor Of the
Hardin district, was supposed to have
come last week to take over this post
under the protection Of Gen. Jiro
Tamon, Japanese commander, but Chi
nese Kuomintang leaders at Hardin,
with threats of clash there, showed
themselves sufficiently strong to make
Chang change his mind.
Chang was described by the Japanese
consul at Hardin as "a very reasonable
man" and as favoring an administra-
ton amenable to japanese influence.
The government Of Keilungkiang Prov
ince, therefore, remains in japanese
control.
Bodies Are Cremated.
The Japanese forces here, meanwhile
have gone ahead the best they could in

Japanese authorities, however, say
they believe he was eliminated as a
serious factor in Northern Manchur1a.
They also are confident the occupa-
tion of Tsitsihar was achieved without
incurring the hostility of Russia. Ex-
IRENE care was taken during the of1en-
sive Wednesday not to tread on the
Russian toe. Gen. lannon's drive passed
at least four miles east Of Anganchi, the
important station on the Russian
owned Chinese Eastern Railway, and
the town was not entered by his soldiers
or bombed by his airplanes.
The aviatorS dropped leaflets, how
ever, in the Russian language, declaring
the Japanese intention not to harm the
town.
Trains on the railway continued
to run on schedule, on spite of the
fact that the most extensive operation
of the Manchurian trouble passed over
the right-of-way.
Going through the city on the way
from Hardin to Tsitsihar everything ap-
peared quiet. Chinese railway guards
and volunteer civilian patrols were

COOPERATIVE IS
FARMERS HOPE,
SAYS HAPCOOD
Columbia Conserve Head
Asks Bankers Support
for Collective Farming.

Collective farming was given as
the solution Of the present day ag-
ricultural crisis by William p. Hap
good in a short address before the
banker-business man tour at the
River Brook farm Thursday.
Cooperative buying and cooper
alive selling has helped the farmer
and so will the collective farming
idea raise their standards OF living,
Hapgood said.
"But to experiment with the col
lective farming idea the RESPONSE
bility rests with the attitude of
banker and the business man to-
ward the farmer" he continued.
Judgment can not be passed on
the collective farming idea by just
merely watching the progress Of the
River Brook farm, operated on the
same basis as the Columbia Con-
serve Company, employee owned
canning company. Bankers and
business men must support many
such experiments.
Bankers must cast of their pres
ent state of fear, forget their pres
ent outlook which appears to be
only to the same profit and figures,

acute financial problems of certain
Central and South American coun-
tries. They count upon active sup
port from New York interests with
Latin American connections.
The direction which any Ameri-
can efforts to aid South America
might take can not be predicted at
this time.
Economists generally agree that
the extremely low prices of basic
agricultural commodities and raw
materials are the cause of Latin
Americas financial troubles. Hence
it is thought in some quarters that
the most likely approach to the
problem might be to seek action to
stimulate the movement Of COM
modities. Lowering of tariffs is one
of the means suggested.
