has resulted in the likelihood of
o conflict between Soviet Russia
and Japan which ma involve the
United States, prominent italian
Fascist editor Il writer pointed
out today.
IRA cesco Coppola. member Of
the Italian Academy and editor of
the monthly review PoliCica,
stated today that the worlds in
0uStr1al power passed up their
finest opportunity to defend them
selves against Japan'S expansion
IN world markets when the League
ermitted Japan to withdraw.
Coppola said:
"That was the moment for
using those futile tools of the
League and the Kellogg pact in
prOclaiming a boycott against
Japanese goods.
"The only opportunities that
remain now are to use Russia
for fOmenting a social revolt
among japanese wOrkmen or
war which may be fought by
Russia and the United States
against .Ianan."
Opinion is expressed in some
circles that emphasis is being
placed on Americas alleged obliga-
tions in the Pacific in order to
divert attention from the threat
ening European political situation
and the possibility of involvement
Of European nations in any Russo
Japanese conflict.
Reports that japanese CONNER

NEW YORK, May 12.-After ad-
vancing during the earlier part of the
week on reported prospects for silver
legislation which evidently strength
ened inflationary sentiment, cotton
eased partially under liquidation and
scattered selling.
Offerings were absorbed on moder-
ate reactions and the market firmed
up again following a sharp advance
in wheat. After selling off from IL 40
to ll22. July advanced to Has dur

turn in wheat, reports of fairly IA

night compared with lib at the

With the attention of the trade
more or less absorbed by Washington

outlook. Two private reports on
acreage prospects have been issued.
One of them pointed to planting in

According to the New York Cotton
Exchange Service domestic conSump-

bales, compared with 100000 last
year. These figures we're quite up to
expectations, but ideas of consump-

are being revised downward. owing to
the talk of probable domestic mill
