New Solution of Old Surplus Coffee
Problem Sought Avidly by Brazilians

RIO DE JANIERO.-Brazil's plans
for . world coffee agreement at the Lon
don Economic Conference having failed,
. new crop Of suggestions has sprung up
for solving the perennial overproduction
problem. Overproduction in the current
crop year destines to the ash heap about
12,OO0,00o sacks of Brazilian coffee
more than the total production of COM
petitors.
The principal reason why competing
countries failed to get enthusiastic over
Brazilian limitation proposals at Lon
don is seen in the fact that they have
thrived on series Of disastrous Bra
william valorization schemes. The other
nations have increased production and
sold nearly all of their coffee, while Bra
I'll has been caught with most of the
! world surplus.
Soviet Deal Proposed.
New Brazilian plans advanced, vir-
tually all Of them old proposals warmed
over, include projected deal to place
coffee in Russia, pleas for quick de-
struction Of several million more sacks,
liberalization of exchange restrictions,
reduced taxes and utilization of coffee
rs fuel
Brazilians found the Russian idea
appealing inasmuch as this country
could afford to send coffee to a new
market and not worry much about reve-
nue., except enough to meet tax charges
and transportation.
The suggestion was mulled over by
Brazilian and Russian representatives

at London and was being studied by
the Sac Pau1o Coffee Institute. Al
though Brazil could afford to sell coffee
to the Russians on exceedingly easy
terms, deal might not be profitable
If it involved placement Of Russian
goods in Brazil.
Continue Fuel Experiments.
The idea of using coffee for fuel was
revived by Sac Paulo factories, which
during the 1882 revolution had burned
coffee mixed with tar when they ran
short of coal. Several factories ex-
pressed desire for permission to con-
tinue experiments, and DR.. Armando
Vidal, president Of the government cof-
fee control department.. has given per-
mission for them to use the coffee tar
mixture at virtually no cost. What
coffee is used by industries will mean
saving for the government, which
spent about 100000 last year in de-
struction.
A petition signed by the Commercial
Association Of Santos, representatives
Of the Sac Paulo Coffee Co-operatives,
the Bank Of Sac Paulo and others, ad-
vanced suggestions for continuing price
control liberalization Of exchange and
elimination of q large part OF the pres
ent stored stocks of 10000 900 sacks.
To guarantee existing coffee loans,
the petition argued, 100000 sacks
should be sufficient. The coffee loans,
which make necessary an export tax
OF Is shilhngs sack, are an ever
complicating factor.

Cooperation Is Policy
OF Admiral in Hawaii

HONOLULU, Hawaii-Close co-op-
Grafton with the civilian community Is
expressed as the policy of Rear Ad-
miral Harry E. Yarnell, who has Just
arrived to become commandant OF the
I4th Naval District, with headquarters
at Pearl Harbor. Admiral Yarne.l has
many friends here. Mrs. Yarnell had
come with him and they have inns
pressed on the civilian community then
earnest desire that there shall be th9
closest cooperation between the twt
elements.
In addition to the large number o.
officers and enlisted men Of the Navy
who have homes in Honolulu during
their duty here there are several civilian
employees who are permanent residents
of the city. Admiral Yarnell was
greeted not only with the official cere-
mony accorded his rank but with Q

Hawaii Opens Inquiry
On Price of Gasoline

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-Why It Is pos
sible to buy gasoline on naval reserva-
ttons in Hawaii at little more than
one-third the cost to buyers in the
city of Honolulu Immediately adjacent
is a question which a committee OF
the territorial Senate is now looking
into. In Honolulu the retail price OF
gasoline is 211a cents gallon, this
Including a territorial tax. 1t is al
legged that the Navy is paying only
SIS cents a gallon delivered. On both
Army and Navy reservations, 1t Is said,
service personnel can buy gasoline far
chaper than is charged civilians in the
nearby city.
The Senate committee is looking into
the subject Of possible price agree
ment among the four gasoline COM
panies doing business in Hawaii. They
sell at prices that are uniform. and
variance of price by one is followed
by similar reductions or increases by
the others.

attain to standards higher than pre-
vailed in pre-war times. Soldering Is
no longer a career for failures in every
other walk of life or a reforming agency
for Jail birds or black sheep.
According to the report Of the Naval
Canteen Committee 16 new varieties
Of cheap-priced confectioneries have
been made available for the modern
counterparts of the rollicking tars OF
Marryat's soul-stirring tales. Despite
the disapproval of British drys, rum
ration still is served in the Kings navy,
but If the sailor does not want the rum
he can have the monetary equivalent
added to his pay and hundreds Of them
prefer the money to the rum. The price
Of one "shot" of rum will fetch two
pints Of beer ashore.
In recent years close study has been
made of the diet of both soldiers and
sailors, and cooks afloat in particular,
have been coached to serve the food
in attractive form.
While the Kings fighting men have
acquired q hearty liking for ice cream,
the gum chewing habit among them Is
still in its infancy. They prefer a piece
of tcffee.

MANCHUKUO TO REMAIN
DESPITE WORLD OPINION
Permanence of Newly Created State
Held Established With Its Future
Up to Asia Alone.

the situation materially and socially
wherever it has established its rule. It
is centuries old hatred of the Chinese
for their Japanese neighbors-a hatred
which is intensified by an unjustified
superiority complex. Added to this is
a deep-seated distrust of the motives
behind Japan's action. Even If the
japanese should keep faith with the
inhabitants of Manchuria and turn the
government completely over to them 1t
is doubtful If the rank and file Of the
Chinese would be grateful. So far as
the peasants and coolies are concerned,
they never counted in political affairs,
and never will.
In establishing Flaw and order" In
Manchukuo the japanese still are con-
fronted with almost insuperable OBJ
stacles. Banditry is an institution and
exists in various forms. Today the total
number Of bandits, estimated at 260, 900
after the Mukden occupation, has been
reduced to between $4,000 and $4,000.
The activities of these bands. which
operate in groups Of from 10 to 500
strong. are sporadic. They are a social
as well as a military problem.
Army of Occupation.
The japanese army Of occupation
now has about $4,000 soldiers available
for bandit chasing. The remainder are
needed to garrison Mukden, Chinchou,
Jehol City (Cheng-teh), Harbin,
Hsinking, Kirin, Tsitsihar and other
strategic points. Keeping the railways
and main highways clear and prevent
ing the "irregulars' from coalescing
into formidable groups is about the ex-
tent of their activity at the present
time. Eliminating the small groups is
both costly and dangerous, because of
their mobility and superior knowledge
of the country over which they operate.
With the kaoliang season at hand it is
also impracticable. Bandits in the
kaoliang are like rabbits in q corn
field.
The second big task confronting the
Japanese in Manchukuo Is the estab-
lishment of q sound political structure
Few of the Chinese officials now CO.
operating with the Japanese advisors
are of great value. The chief executive,
Henry Pu vi, is rubber stamp-a vir-
tual prisoner. However 1t is admitted
even by the Japanese that he has abil-
ity and can be made into a real ruler.
Cheng Hsiao Hsu, 73-year-old prime
minister, Is an idealist and dreamer.
He believes the creation of an inde-
pendent Manchukuo Is the first step
toward the restoration Of Manchu rule

ventional Chinese type and along with

President had other ideas and was
prepared to follow them. And when
the sudden upturn in business was
sustained, some of this group dropped
back into an attitude of tagging.
Study Of this economic philosophy re-
veals its weakness, particularly when it
Is applied to the present situation
where millions are unemployed and the
purchasing power Of the country is at
feeble ebb During the depression,
there was naturally heavy decline in
the wage level, but there also was a
corresponding decline in the commodity
price level. which meant that those
fortunate enough to have jobs had
enough to buy the necessities of life.

which must be met first or at least
simultaneously. Sterilization Of indus
try is just as necessary as the other
features of the program. but the en-
phasis must be placed first on the Gre
alton of purchasing power. When this
fact was realized. some had the feeling
that industry had struck q bad bar
gain Happily this feeling has now
practically disappeared.
The process. it was aargued, should
be reversed; industry should first have
the opportunity to put its program IN
motion, and share the benefits of in
creased employment and wages later.
There was disappointment and some
criticism when It was found that the

Whether 1t remains an inde-

can oust them. The United States will
not. The people of Manchuria do not
count. The above statements are hard
facts. To any one who has been In
Manchuria, or is cognizant OF develop
ments there during the past 18 months,
they need not be proved.
The moral and legal aspects Of the
Sino-Japanese controversy over Man
churia are passe. Those issues have
eyes Of the world at large Japan has no
right to be in Manchuria except within
her treaty zones. Politically, economic
ally, strategetically and materially she
thinks she has ample justification. It Is
not only the militarists who feel that
way; the entire Japanese nation Is
agreed. So determined In Japan to
maintain her hold on what was for
merly Northern China that she told the
League to go jump into Lake Geneva.
She risked war with Russia and tempted
world isolation by deliberately ignoring
the League covenant, and two treaties

outlawry Of war pacts.
Determined to Press On.
Having won the first round in her
daring venture, or at least not lost it,
the japanese are determined to go
ahead. They will not be content with
a draw. The success or failure of their
Manchurian policy now rests upon de-
velopments on the Asiatic mainland.
The final results depend so per cent
upon the japanese themselves and SO
per cent upon the inhabitants Of Man-

the Japenese military is the dominant

many. The chancellor's bombastic
campaign speeches have filled Euro
pean minds with a sense of unrest,
and it is feared he has something
up his sleeve now that he can claim
undoubted parliamentary support of
his policies. In France, the first re-
action to the German fascist triumph
has been a tentative declaration set
ting forth that French border forti-
fications must be strengthened.
These developments tend to make
the disarmament outlook still darker,
still more uncertain.
Conflict Brewing.
Increasing hostility between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia will not act like an
encouragement in Geneva. There Is
no doubt that the tension between
the two countries is becoming more
and more serious, and it is candidly
admitted in some capitals that states
men feel quite uneasy about the situ-
ation-especially since the fascist vic
tory in Germany lends color to the
rumor of fascist German-ltalian
understanding which may even as
sumo the form of menacing alli-
ance against Jugo-Slavia and other
