Roads to Farm Of
MinnesOtan Barred

Minneapolis, Jan. l4.-(R>-What
can q man do with q farm to and
from which all roads are barred.
That In brief was Roy Corbett's
problem Saturday in connection with
the quarter section Of land he owns
so miles from the Canadian border.
Corbett, . local resident, acquired
the land a years ago. Seven years
later the state declared the area sur.
rounding it . state forest and rangers
barred the single road leading to the
farm to prevent fire hasards.
Now he would like to farm Il. but
1t seems the only way he can reach
the land Is by foot or airplane. State
officials told him they could do MOTH
ing to relieve the sttuation-that the
state couldn't even buy the land from
him because Of depleted treasury.

Is PLEASING TO JAPAN

TOKYO, Jan. 14.-H)-Wtth differ.
ences between Japan and the League
of Nations narrowed down by q new
league proposal for dealing with the
Manchurian issue, government
spokesman said Saturday the most
formidable remaining obstacle to q
solution was the question Of whether
to invite the United States and So
Wet Russia to join in Cancellation
commission.
Japan unalterably opposed the
League proposal to admit outsiders to
participate In League processes.
Informally, the official said the in
clusion of the United States would
put teeth" In the proposed Manchu-
rian Cancellation machinery, whereas,
without the United States, the new
resolution drawn up by Sir Eric
Drummond. League secretary general,
would be relatively harmless" The
official said this was what Japan de-
sired.
\ It was learned that Sir Eric's draft
omitted any reference to recognition
or non-recogninon Of the state Of
Manchukuo, established in Manchuria
