Two Provinces of China
Are Granted Autonomy

NORTH CHINA autonomists, sup

evidently are too much for the Nam
king government, of which Chang Kali
shek has now become the premier. The
provinces Of Hopei and Chahar, with a
population of 100000 or more, have
been granted virtual self-rule under a
political council. The central govern
ment made only three stipulations-
that Marking would continue to control
the new states foreign affairs, finan-
cial, military and judiciary matters;
that all appointments would be made
by Marking, and that there would be
no actual independence for the area.

Norman III. Davis offered President
Roosevelt's suggestion of 20 per cent
reduction in existing naval treaty ton
mage, or, failing that, continuance
of present fleet limitations.
Then arose Admiral Osami Nagano,
chief of the Japanese delegation, and
told the conference that Japan de-
manded parity with Great Britain and
the United States instead of the exist
ing 5-5-3 ratio and requested lust
and fair agreement on disarmament"
He said in part:
"a new treaty, in the view of the
Japanese government, should be based
upon the fundamental idea of setting
I'D common limit Of naval arma-
ments to be fixed as low as possible,
which they shall not be allowed to ex-
coed; simultaneously, offensive forces
must be drastically reduced and am
pie defensive forces provided, so as to
bring about a substantial measure of
disarmament, thus securing state Of
nonmenace and nonaggression among
the powers"
The French delegates were prepared
to accept drastic limitation and even
reduction of tonnage and gun calibers
on individual ships; but they thought
land and air armament issues must be
considered in any discussion of the
relative strength of navies. Italy re-
affirmed her loyalty to the principle
- raHt1ntinn nf a.
mentS.
The pessimistic feeling that pre-
vailed was attributed to the Japanese
demand for parity, the rivalry in the
Mediterranean between France and
Italy, the war in Ethiopia and it's sane
tons developments and recent occur
rences in north China. Any one of
which might well wreck the confer
ence.

farmers and as many others as could
get into the theater and adjoining
wings supplied with loud speakers.
The farm program, the President
said, aimed to "stop the rule of tooth
and claw that threw farmers into bank
ruptcy or turned them into serfs." AS
evidence that 1t Is succeeding, he as
serted that farm income "has increased
nearly $3,O00,0OO,O0O in the past two
and a half years."
Necessarily Mr.. Roosevelt defended
the new Canadian trade treaty because
only two days before that pact had
been bitterly attacked by his late trade
adviser, George N. Peek.
aust as l am confident" said the
President, that the great masses of
city people are fair-minded, so / am
sure that the great majority of Ameri-
can farmers will be fair in their judg-
ment of the new treaty.
IF the calamity howlers should
happen to be right, you have every as
surance that Canada and the United
States will join in correcting inequali-
ties, but do not believe for a single
moment that the calamity howlers are
right.
1--WE export more agricultural prod
ucts to Canada than we have imported
from her.
1--WE shall continue to do so, for the
very simple reason that the United
States, with its larger area of agricul-
tural land, it's more varied climate and
its vastly greater population, produces
far more of most agricultural products,
including animal products, vegetables
and fruit, than does Canada.
''In the case of the few reductions
that have been made, quota limitations
are set on the amount that may be
brought in at the lower rates."
In his analysis of the Canadian
agreement, Peek showed that 81 per
cent of the tariff concessions which
the New Dealers granted to Canada
were on agricultural and forestry prod
ucts. He also showed that the articles
on which the New Dealers granted tar
iff reductions amounted to 30S million
dollars in 1929, whereas Canada in re-
turn had granted concessions on arti-
cles valued at only 245 million dollars.
. After completing his speech and eat
ing luncheon with lot of local nota-
bles, the President went to South Bend,
Ind, where he received an honorary
degree from Notre Dame university
and delivered another address.

Mr.. Sloan conceded the gravity and
the extreme Importance of problems
of today-the paramount necessity of
charting sound course for the "long

"1-Reduction In the real costs and
selling prices of goods and services.
"2-A more economic balance of ma

ing wages, hours, prices and profits"
The meeting of the congress was
held in conjunction with the fortieth
annual convention OF the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, and the
speakers before that body were as EN-.

economic policies of the administration
as was Mr.. Sloan. President G. L. Bar

Robert L Lund, chairman of the

Offer Made to Italy
at Ethiopia's Expense

ITALY is being punished for starting
the war against Ethiopia, and will
be well paid for stopping it. That in a
nutshell is the status at this writing.
Great Britain and France reached an
agreement as to the offer to be made
to Mussolini before the imposition of
an oil embargo, set for December II.
This plan for peace, drawn up by Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel
Hoare and Premier Laval. was based
on the proposal that Italy should re-
tain part of the territory already con-
quered in Ethiopia, chiefly in north
western Tigre province, including
Adowa but not the sacred city of Ak
sum, and that the Italian Somaliland
border should be rectified. In return,
Ethiopia would be given seaport,
either in Eritred or in British or
French territory. Thus poor Ethiopia.

to stabilize the soft coal industry, has

fight for the territorial inviolability
guaranteed by the league covenant, he
will be abandoned to his fate.
Should Mussolini show a DISPOSE

expected the oil embargo would be

he rejects the plan the embargo would
go into effect and supposedly the war
in Africa would continue at least until
the rainy season next spring.
