China Adopts Managed
PAPER Currency

THINA has suddenly abandoned the
~ metallic silver currency standard,
adopted managed paper currency
and otherwise reformed its monetary
system. The four-point program was
announced in Shanghai by Finance
Minister HI. Fl. Kung just after Vice
President Garner and his party Of
congressman had left the city for
Manila. 'e
The American party was entertained
by high Chinese officials, including
Kung. But, despite much oratory of
the hands across the sea character,
no hint was given of China's contem-
plated action. However, all English
language newspapers in Shanghai car
ried long interviews with Senator Will
liam H King of Utah and Senator
Burton X. Wheeler of Montana, both
of whom practically told China that
it .'was not any of her business what
America did about silver" and pre-
dicted the continuance Of United
States purchases until the price of sill
yer has reached $1.29 an ounce.
The new Chinese program provides
for: l. Naturalization of silver. 2.
Restriction of bank note issues to
three government owned banks. 8.
Sterilization of the Chinese dollar at
the present level. 4. Legalization of
bank notes for payment of all debts
which provide for payment in silver.

Germany Plans Extension
Toward the East

ERMANY has no designs on west
~ ern Europe, but she does intend
to promote her expansion in the Bal
tic states. and hopes later to divide
the Ukraine with Poland. That Is the
substance Of assertions made by Per-
tinax and Genevieve Tabouis, two Of
the leading political writer's of the
Paris press. They say DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, minister of finance, revealed
these plans to Jean Tannery, presl-
dent of the Bank Of France, and Mon
tagu Norman, president of the Bank of
England, at a recent meeting Of the
Bank Of International Settlement at
Basel, Switzerland.
Schacht, the writers say. exhorted
the two financiers to act with Ger
many ain the financial field" to end
the Italo- Ethiopian conflict as soon as
possible. He is reported TO have warned
them that sanctions against Italy
would lead to 1.-THE economic disloca-
tion of Europe. ruin the Ira and ruin

pers for printing what he called "crazy
stories" and went on to declare that
Tugwell's assertion was almost as I'M
founded as the predictions thrown out
by many political observers that the
budget probably would never be bal
anced again. Tugwell's statement
wasn't quite as wild" as the news
paper stories, he remarked, because
Tugwell knew little more about the
budget than the newspaper men.
The President said he and his ad-
visers were about to make study Of
the financial situation, and that until
the budget is finally drafted about the
first of the year not even he knows
what shape it will take. Every effort,
he said, would be made to hold the
regular government departments down
to the figures of this fiscal year, but
he would make no predictions as to
emergency expenditures.

Sanctions Against Italy
in Effect November IS

THE League Of Nations set Novem-
L Der IS as the day on which the
economic sanctions against Italy
should be put into effect, and later
decided that coal, iron and oil should
be included in the embargo. The
league appointed Premier Laval of
France and Sir Samuel Hoare, British
foreign minister, to carry on peace ne
gotiations with Italy. Sir Samuel still
insisted any peace must be within the
framework of the League.
The Italian armies on the northern
front pushed further into Ethiopia, fol-
lowing the tanks and with bombing
planes active overhead, and one col
umn entered the city of Hauzien on
the way to Makale. The invaders met
with no resistance Of consequence. The
government at Adds Ababa announced
that Italian planes had killed 80 wom-
en-, Is children and 100 cows with
bombs and machine gun fire at Cora
hei.

way Of limitation Of naval armament.
But there is good prospect that Italy
will there demand the naturalization
of the straits of Gibraltar, which
would be extremely distasteful and
perhaps embarrassing to Great Britain.
Diplomats are certain the British would
refuse to make the concession. They
say Mussolinrs purpose is to force
Britain to declare her intentions in the
Mediterranean, where a large part of
her war fleet is massed at the present
time.
1t was reported in Paris that the
Duce would ask that the straits be put
In the same status as the Suez canal,
and would offer to scrap two $4,000 ton
battleshipS now under construction as
an evidence of his good faith. Britain
hopes France will support her atti-
tude concerning this demand and in
return may agree to take larger per-
centage of exports from French Moroc-
co to strengthen Frances position in
that colony. French naval experts
said that, while naturalization of the
straits would guarantee free passage
for France for all time, yet sit would
be better to have strong British
hold on Gibraltar" in case France
got in war with Germany and was
faced with the prospect of German
submarines entering the Mediter-
rannean to ravage her commerce and
stop transport of troops from north
African possessions.

Two-Year Program for
Corn-Hog Production

a FTER a conference with agricul-
"A tural specialists and representa-
tives of farmers, Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace announced that two
year program for corn and hog pro-
ducers had been determined upon, the
main features of which are:
1. Prevention of an excessive pro-
duction of corn in 1896 and 1887.
2. Allowance of an increase in next
years pig crop that would be at least
as great as 1t Is estimated would take
place were no adjustment program in
3. Prevention Of an excessive in
crease in the 1887 pig crop.
Maximum and minimum hog produc-
ton requirements will be imposed un-
der the new contract particularly to
prevent regional dislocations in pro-
duction next year, according to AAA
officials who said such "dislocations"
would be certain to develop because Of
Embellishments in feed supplies and
hog numbers brought about by the
1894 drouth. The maximum and mini
mum requirements have not been de-
termined.
The new contract will require that
an area at least equal to the number
of acres withdrawn from production
of corn be added to the usual area Of
the farm devoted to soil-improving
and erosion preventing uses. This re-
quirement was part of the 1884 corn
hog contract but was relaxed when the
drouth come.

insists that while present tax rates
