Nippon Ambassador Gives Views in Montreal-No
 War with Russia

MONTREAL, Oct. 27.-Recogni- ton of the Soviet Government by the United States would be ser ious matter to Japan, newly ap- pointed Japanese Ambassador to Sweden, Toshio Shiratori sa d when enroute to his post.
 Of course it is their business but if the United States advances money to Soviet Russia it will help consolidate Russia's economic af- fairs and also help Communist propaganda work in the Far East, " said Shiratori.
 Regarding the possibilities of war, the Japanese Ambassador said he could not visualize the United States as an aggressor nation, while on the other hand domestic politics and econmics are claiming the entire attention of the Soviets.
 ''As for Japan, there is abso- lutely no reason why we should want war with Russia. All we want is for Russia to stop propa- ganda throughout the Far East, " said the Ambassador.

 PINTA BAY SHOWING

Work on a 300-foot tunnel on the property of the New Chicha- gof Mines Syndicate at Pinta Bay is expected to start within a short time, according to Robert Me Combs, member of the organiza- ton in charge of preliminary ar engagements. A shipment of sup plies went out from here last night on the motorship Estebeth, con signed to Ole Twedt, in charge of exploratory work on the ground.
 Camp facilities already have been established and a small crew of men will be employed through out the winter, MT. McCombs said. Necessary equipment for driving the tunnel is at the camp The main showing is said to be but a short distance from tidewater and winter weather conditions will in no way interfere with the work planned for the immediate fu- ture.
 'The Pinta Bay property has the stamp of approval from sev- eral authoritative sources. The work now being started will de- termine to large extent the ton- mage available, and it is hoped that machinery will have been installed by next Spring and in- tensive mining in progress" MT McCombs asserted.

THEoRY-AND PRACTICE

It is pointed out that with re- spect to the key crop-wheat- the all-important limitation of pro- duction feature has not yet be- gun to operate.
 What happened about cotton has given the administration much thought, and they hope to learn from it. The trouble was that, in anticipation of a reduction pro- gram and higher prices, many cot ton farmers planted capacity ac- reage.
 Now millions are being paid
 out to recOmpense these farm
 CTS for destroying part of their
 crop, despite the fact that
 they still have left one of the
 biggest crops on record.
 The experiment of buying and slaughtering sows to reduce ths pig population and raise prices works about the same way. The farmers simply didn't send. theii sows to market, and now nobody knows how many pigs will come into the world because the owners saw a chance that markets were going up.
 Efforts to fix milk prices have met with all sorts of resistance

Farm Problem Is StiH Big
 Problem;Ne,o Legislation to
 Come Before Next Congress
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press. Washington

The farm legislation seems to be in the cards for the January session of Congress. Administra- tion leaders want changes in the relief law. and a variety of pro- posals to try something entirely different are incubating in other quarters.
 There is no indication the Pres ident has lost faith in the relief policy which he frankly proposed as "an experiment" or has any in- tention of abandoning it. Any sug- gestions from him or his admin istrators probably will favor the strengthening of the new law.
 The relief act is rounding out it's first six months of life. It's supporters do not deny that the farm problem is still a problem. It is a matter of record that in several respects the farmers them- selves have withheld the co-opera- ton necessary for full success; that unrest is appearing again in the farm belt; that the gap be- tween the farm prices and other commodity prices is, according to government figures. wider than it was on March A.
 The answer of the Roosevelt farm relief pilots is that it will take time to change the funda- mental character of the agricultur- al intustry, as the present plan proposes to do, and that what is being done will turn out in the end to have been an important step in the right direition.
