.BRITON SEES WEAK
SPOT IN DEMOCRACY
Time Wasted Coming to Decision
on Problems, Says Sir
Josiah Stamp.

BY the Associated Press.
DURHAM, N. c., June Sir Josiah
Stamp, distinguished British economist
analyzed the democratic form Of gov
srnment today and said one Of its
weaknesses is a lack of adoption for
coming to a decision upon economic
problems.
The noted Briton, chairman of the
London Midland & Scottish Railway,
member of numerous scientific socie-
ties. and the British representative In
1929 on the Reparation Commission S
Committee on German Currency and
Finance, was the commencement
speaker at Duke University.
I'VE have taken upon ourselves as a
philosophy of government the various
democratic forms and We find by ex-
perience that democracy has certain
demonstrable weaknesses" he said IN
his prepared address.
TT is excellently adapted for deal
ing with all problems that do not de-
teriorate by waiting or while we dis
cuss them or suffer from the very
process of discussion, and is suited to
settle matters such as the questions OF
religious and civil liberty, national and
local expenditure, and many OF the
features of social life. But it is not
| we'll adapted for coming to a decision
upon economic problems.
I'm the present stage OF education
| Judgment as to what is the correct ac-
ton in foreign affairs on matters with
| international reactions is highly COM
rlicated process, to be solved out of the
realm of emotions and predictions.

WHEAT HELD DOWN
BY Three FACTORS
Stanford Expert Tells Pacific Sci
ence Congress of Surplus
and Other Effects.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June
7.-Dr. Holbrook Working, wheat ex-
pert of Stanford University, told the
fifth Pacific Science Congress yesterday
three factors are preventing recovery OF
world wheat prices.
The surplus which has depressed
prices for five years. due to the record
crop of 1928, still exists" he said. "Tnc
world acreage at the present time is
adequate to supply food, and there is no
incentive to restrict acreage in Europe
due to artificial price pegging spon-
sored by governments.
Where an abnormally large crop is
not followed by an equally abnormal
small one, restriction of acreage is the
only preventative of long-continued
price depression. Since the large crop
of 1923, the world acreage has in
creased and made conditions worse in
stead of better.
THE economic slump also is a fac
tor contributing to low wheat prices,
but unless existing stocks are disposed
Of, the return of prosperity will not
benefit the farmer"
Reappearance of Russia as a large
scale wheat exporter reduced world
values still more, he said.

ONE HOUR 43 MINUTES BEHINI
Mattern Gains 8 Hours 30 Minutes by
Not Stopping at Novo Sibirsk.


Not Stopping at Novo Sibirsk.
NEW YORK, June R.-Just be-
fore Jimmie Mattern passed over Novo
Sibirsk, Siberia, he was II hours Is
minutes behind the Post-Gatty round
the-world time table, established in
1881.
Just after he passed over the ST.
berian city, he cut the Post-Gatty lead
to hour 43 minutes.
This strange result arises from the
fact that Post and Gatty stopped at
Novo Sibirsk and stayed there hours
80 minutes. Mattern kept right on
going.
Mattern lost 80 minutes on the jour-
ney from Omsk to Novo Sibirsk. Start
ing "a hours 40 minutes after he left
New York, he required 8 hours to
reach Novo Sibirsk. Post and Gatty
did the same distance in 2 hours 27
minutes. Their elapsed time on ar
rival at Novo Sibirsk was 76 hours 36
minutes.
Mattern was officially given pre-
cious present of 60 seconds today, which
might conceivably mean the difference
between success and failure in his race
around the world.
When he took on from F1oyo Ben
nett Field last Saturday morning his
time was generally clocked at 4:20
am. Eastern standard time.
But today John Heinmuller, who
acted as official timer for the National
Aeronautic Association, which decides
who is a record holder and who isn't,
announced that he' had recorded the
take-off at 4:21
Two messages sent from Omsk were
received from Mattern today.
One, to his backer, read: Feeling
fine. Everything okay. Jimmie"
The other, to the manager of Floyd
Bennett Field, where Mattern began
mis- race around the world, said: I'll
be glad to get back on those concrete
runways."

AS 1 leave Omsk I am behind the time which
had been set at this point by Wiley Post and
Harold Gatty, whose record I am trying to beat.
But fully expect to make up for this and to be
back in New York in decidedly shorter time than
that made by Post and Gatty. intend to make
my next stop at Chita, Siberia.
I was very tired when I reached Omsk from
Moscow In Moscow 1 had only three hours
sleep and the rest Of the night worked on my
ship But now I am feeling fine and rested and
ready for the next lap on this dash around the
world.
They have been awfully good to me at the
stops have made and have done everything pos
sible in the way of providing food and relaxation
and welcome But I have been eating little but
the oranges which I had in my plane when I
hoped off from New York last Saturday
morning.
The reason that I am having trouble getting
fuel from the fuselage tanks is that the motor
driven pump is not working. This means that
1 have to "wobble" my gas In other words 1
have to use hand pump to get fuel from the
tanks. And this is no fun.

JAPAN |NDORSES
PLEA FOR PEACE
Prefers to Make No Comment,
However, on Non-Aggression
Pact at Present.
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
Though assuring President Roosevelt
of a hearty response" to his plea for
universal peace, Japan, with thousands
of troops in Northern China said it pre-
| ferred to make no comment now on his
appeal for treaty binding the nations
against sending armed forces beyond
their borders. Japan also indorses the
Presidents plea for earnest cooperative
efforts toward success at the London
Economic Conference and the Geneva
arms reduction parley.
Japan expressed its views IN brief
communication replying to the historic
message Mr.. Roosevelt dispatched on
May Is to virtually all the worlds rulers
proposing his non-aggression pact.
Exerting Best Efforts.
Reference to this projected treaty by
Japan was entirely inferential. After
asserting that the Toxic, government is
fully resolved to collaborate" at the
economic parley and is exerting its best
efforts" toward an arms reduction
agreement, the message said.
Their (the japanese government 81
views upon the different steps detailed
in the Presidents message can, If neces-
sary be presented as occasion offers"
officials here interpreted this to
mean Japan prefers to withhold an
expression of opinion on the non-ag-
gression proposal until the subject has
advanced to the status of active discus
sion between the nations
Mr.. Roosevelt had asked in his May
Is message that all the nations 'enter
into a solemn and definite pact of nom
aggression" and individually agree
that they will send no armed forces OF
whatsoever nature across their from
tiers.
Many unofficial commentators were
quick to apply this phrase to the posi-
ton of the Japanese Armies in China
as well as to the Presidents later ex-
pressed definition of an aggressor ma
ton as one whose troops are found on
alien soil IN violation of treaties.
Conferred With Ishii
Since sending his peace message, Mr..
Roosevelt has conferred with Vtscount
Kikujiro Ishii, chief Japanese delegate
to the London conference. While
here, Mr. Ishii took exception to the
vanced by the President.
After sweeping through Manchuria
and nearby provinces the Japanese
troops advanced south of the Great
Wall of China, until, fortnight ago,
they were at the gates of China's
ancient capital, Peiping, and nearing
the important commercial area Of
Tientsin.
A truce was arranged under which
the district between the Peiping-
Tientsin area and the Great Wall is to
be e-militarized, but policed by small
Chinese force under occasional Japanese
supervision
After its success in Manchuria, Japan
established the State Of Manchukuo,
which it contends is an independent
nation. It is anxious to obtain diplo-
matte recognition for it. This the
United States has not extended. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has asserted that terri
torial gains acquired by the use OF force
will not be recognized by the United
States.
