During the course Of a blistering at

Peter B. Carey, president Of the Chicago
Board Of Trade. yesterday said six
members Of his organization could dis
pose Of all the Farm Boards wheat for
cash "at steadily advancing price"
There Is a tremendous demand for

all of the Governments wheat at q
steadily advancing price with the in
evitable favorable reflection on the

II believe wheat should and would
advance If the Federal Farm Board
were forced by Congress to desist at
once from their senseless efforts. which
have so far resulted in practically de-
stroying the free, open, liquid grain
markets which the farmer of this
country has hitherto enjoyed" he said.
Open Markets IAN But Abolished"
TT is a sorry tale that the so-called
farm leadership will have to carry home
when Congress adjourns. They have all
but abolished the open, free and
competitive markets, which required rs
years Of intelligent effort by sane and
experienced men to establish.
I'm its place they have substituted
the lowest prices in history, which in
turn have all but completely under
mined the very foundations Of the
Nations prosperity.

He referred to bills pending In Con-

1T Is to be devoutly hoped that
when the so-caIled farm leaders who
have been living on the farmers for
all these years get back home from

Acceptance of Japan's Suggestion for
Conference Is Doubtful

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
The State Department has under con-
sideration proposition made by Japan
to attend round table conference of
the Ambassadors of the five powers
principally interested in China, to be
held in Toxic.
The purpose Of such a conference is
to reach an agreement for a common
action in case of the spread Of Com
munlst activities throughout the terri
tory of the Chinese republic.
1t Is doubtful whether under the pres
ent circumstances this proposition of
Japan will be acceptable to the Amer
lean Government. In any case the con-
versations are not likely to be reopened
until Japan has a new government and
Ambassador Joseph Clark Grew has
reached Toxic.
Made After Shanghai Truce.
This proposition was made by the
Inukai government soon after the sigma
ture of the Shanghai armistice and
conceded with the Communist out
breaks at Amoi While the official pur-
pose of Japan in calling a round table
conference was to protect all nationals
In the affected areas, there is no doubt
that the late Japanese premier intended
to bring Japan back into the family of
international powers from which she
had separated in September when she
started her military operations in Man.

Although the United States is not
likely to favor any conference which
might result in common interven-
ton in China with other powers, it ap-
pears that the Government may depart
from its traditional attitude of avoid
ing any military operations in the Chi
neSe territory.
For the first time since the Boxer
rebellion of 1901 American forces last
Friday were ordered to keep themselves
in readiness to land on Chinese te ri
tory. Bluejackets of the gunboat sta
toned at Kulangsu, the international
Settlement outside Amoi, are expected
to land within the next 48 hours to
