= A big question marx remaining IIOIn
the second Nazi revolution" born Of
plots and bloodshed, was whether the
veteran Won Papen has already quit
and Won Hindenburg called Hitler to
Neudeck to demonstrate.
Circles close to the vice chancellor
declared he had not resigned, but that
Won Papen, always the soldier, told
Hitler of his willingness to step out
, should Won Hindenburg see fit.
Report Premature.
Widespread reports last night that
Won papen had resigned were pre-
mature. 1t was pointed out that un-
| der terms with which Won Hinden-
burg accepted Hitler's regime early
in 1888 Won Papen was to be in the
| cabinet to act as the presidents con-
fdante and informant, a check and
a balance.
Although stern warnings went out
! to opponents, Hitler and his associates
have called q halt to his "purging"
process in which numbers met death
at the hands of firing squads.
The government said the total slain
was "leSS than co." but one witness
said that number was killed in Berlin
| alone.
"Von Papen is not at all surprised
that he is the victim of the whole
movement" said an associate who saw
Won Papen on the eve of his epochal
address at Marburg June II. in which
he castigated many aspects Of the
Nazi movements. This was the first

high official.
Won Papen's Stand.
The vice chancellor's attitude, the
friend said, is this:
"I know that I am the standard
bearer in this movement for purifca-
ton; sort of target for many at
tacks, but even if I am shot down.
politically speaking, that makes no
differerce-Somebody must pay"
There appeared no doubt that Her
mann Wilhelm Georing, premier of
Prussia, would be vice chancellor if
Won Papen leaves the cabinet.
Rapid results we're expected from
the personal interview between Hitler
and Won Hindenburg. If Won Papen
goes, it would mean, for one thing, a
closer welding of the Nazi administra-
ton, whose foreign troubles now in
volve armaments and finance, with
perhaps all even firmer drive toward
solution of these questions.
1t also would mark Goering's third
victory" over Won Papen.
The first occurred several months
before the Nazi advent to power. when
Goering, as Reichstag president, re-
fused to let Won Papen, then the
chancellor, read an address to the
ReiChStag and dissolve that body. The
scene was tense one. Goering'S sur
prising superiority then is credited in
some quarters with paving the way
definitely for Nazi rule.
Wed for Premiership.
The second followed in a few
months, when both Wed for the pre-
miership of Prussia. Germany's larg-

chief, in substance:

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July Admiral KelsuKe
Okada. regarded as a friend OF the
United States and a conservative on
the subject of military expansion, be-
gan formation today of a new Jap
anese cabinet.
Emperor Hirohito summoned Ad-
miral Okada, Sc, twice a minister OF
the navy and for more than 40 years
in naval service, to the palace and
commissioned him to select a govern
ment. 1t will succeed that of Premier
Makato Saito, which resigned because
of financial scandal.
Saito approved Okada's designation
and is working with him in forming
the new cabinet A number of old
ministers probably will be retained.
Okada likely will follow SaitoS gen.
eral policies.
Although naval circles and mill
tarists are clamoring for a govern
ment which will demand equality in
tonnage with Great Britain and the
United States at next years naval
conference and expansion OF the army,
OkadaS views on these and other
political subjects are said to be mod
crate.
Advice Given by SaiOnji.
Prince Saionji, veteran political
oracle, advised Hirohito in deSignat-
ing the next premier. All former
premiers and high officials were called
into consultation.
Okada'S latest known position on
disarmament was set forth December
10, 1882, at the Geneva Conference,
when he was minister of the navy.
He said Japan was willing to
abolish aircraft carriers, but was de-
termined to keep all submarines pos
Sible for defensive purposes.
About the same time, in an inter-
view with the Associated Press,
Admiral Okada said:
"Since the Japanese navy conceives
its mission as primarily a defensive
one, since even its hypothetical war
plans do not include the launching
OI al dIGdCk against DISTANT enemy
coasts-as for example, crossing of
the Pacific to attack the United
States-we believe there is room for
the further reduction in size and
power of the principal weapons of
attack-capita! ships"
Admiral Okada said he considered
war between the United States and
Japan "unthinkable"
Attitude in Pacific.
Feeling between the countries would
improve if the American Fleet were
taken from the Pacific, he said, and
Japan would adopt a neutral policy
toward the Philippines when they be-
come independent.
Although he has held important
posts in Toxic and at sea. the naval
veteran is most unasSuming. He
speaks in a low, calm voice, without
gestures or oratorical effects, and
seems to prefer the comfort of his
native costume to the stiffness of a
goldbraided uniform.

GRAIN FUTURES
RISE SLIGHTLY

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 G.N.S0.
Grains developed a firmer tone
on the Board of Trade on buying
influenced by the strong under
lying position in the cash wheat
market and reassuring advices
from the exchange regarding
speculative activity.
Advances were limited to small
proportions and reflected lack
of pressure rather than aggreS-
Sive buying, however. Wheat
moved up more than a cent with
the December delivery advancing
to $1.0412, while corn gained
nearly a cent to 1890 for the
active delivery before realizing
erased part of the upturn.
Near mid-session wheat was Is
to "a cent higher near mid-ses-
sion. Liverpool closed unchanged
to "a pence higher, and Rotter-
dam finished unchanged to p
cent higher.
The news of the prospective
cut in wheat exports from the
United States to 100000 bush
els next year was without appar-
ent influence on the trade here.

Charles E. Erwin, receiver of
