Far-East Situation
Reaches Grave Crisis

THE situation in the Far East
l. reached graver crisis. Eric
ton between Japan and China be-
came more intense when it was re-
ported that a Chinese customs
cruiser had fired upon a Japanese
ship, off the harbor Of Chikou,
HOpei province.
AT the same time foreign resi-
dents of Peiping were amazed at
the spectacle of 5000 Japanese
troops in full war regalia parading
through the legation quarter While
Japanese officers declined to eX-
plain the unprecedented influx of
troops, observers declared that the
soldiers were from nearby Tung-
chow and Fengtai. Not since the
Boxer rebellion of 1900 had so
many foreign soldiers entered the
ancient former capital Of China.
The menace of civil war increased
when Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek, dictator of the Central China
government at Marking, delivered
an ,ultimatum to the insurgent
Kwangsi province leaders.

74th Congress Adjourns
After a Long Session

After Long Session
THE Seventy-foufth congress ad-
jOurned after a session lasting
five and half months during which
it appropriated nearly $10,00O,0O0.-
600 and was faced by some uneX-
pected' legislative complications.
In the closing hous the emer-
gency tax bill which is expected 20
produce $S00,000,O00 in revenue was
passed. Supreme court invalidatiOn
/, of. the AAA and Guffey coal bills
and the passage of the cash sol
>"dfers' bonus over the Presidents
veto upset the budget plans and
made such a bill necessary.
Although it was passed by the
house,r the amended Guffey coal bill
designed to remove the objections
of the Supreme court failed Of pas
sage in the senate. Similarly, the
Wagner slum housing bill, which
had passed the senate, failed in the
house.
: Larger than normal apprOpria-
tiens for governmental activities
were passed. The bonus, farm pay
ments, relief and the greatest ma
tiOnal defense program in peace
time history helped swell the total.
Funds for continuing the present
relief program were voted the pub
Yaunlx,irn fund
amended to. permit more heavy con-
.struction projects. But congress
" failed to approve the Florida ship
canal and Passamaquoddy tide dam.
- InvahdatiOn of the AAA brought
1revised and expanded soil con-
servation and domestic allotment
act; the rural electrification admin
istration and electric farm and
home authority were both placed on
a permanent basis; the Commodity
Credit corporation was expanded;
two.fiood control bills were passed.
Labor received attention through
the Walsh-Healy bill dealing with
working conditions on government
contracts. 4 compromise ship sub
sfdy bill was rushed through in the
closing hours. Financial legislation
included expansion of the jurisdic-
tion of SEC. Important among busi-
ness. legislation was the Patman bill
amending the Clayton antitrust act
regarding price discrimination.
A number of important bills failed
of enactment. Among these were
the 'Pettingill long and short hauls
bill, stockyard regulation, Frazier
Lemke farm mortgage bill, and bills
on the 30-hour week, extension of
the railroad co-ordinator's tenure,
anti-war profits, alien deportation,

A "blueblOod" of the German
nobility, the diplomat was a nephew
of the late Prince Bernhard won
Buelow, imperial chancellor. He
was one of the first of the German
mobiles to associate himself with the
republican regime after the collapse
of the empire in 1918. Although diff
ferent in background from Hitler,
he nevertheless enjoyed the chan
cellor's confidence
In diplomatic circles it was re-
garded as likely that DR.. Hans
Dieckhoff, chief of the political de-
partment of the foreign office, will
succeed Buelow as secretary of
state.
In Russia, Maxim Gorky, early
foe of the czars who become a hero
of the Soviet regime and it's out
standing writer, died of influenza at
the age of sixty-eight. Although
not a member of the Communist
party, Gorky had a preeminent po-
sition in Soviet life and was a for
mer member of the central execu-
tive committee. Moscow honored
him with a public funeral and in
terment in the Kremlin in a niche
facing Lenin's tomb.
Under the cZars, Gorky was Jailed
on many occasions for his infiam-
matOry writings. His revolutionary
attitude was expressed in his pen
name. Maxim Gorky means "The
Bitter One" in Russian. The author
was considered Soviet Russia's
greatest propagandist. His real
name was Alexis MaXimovitch
Pyeshkov.

Packers Seek Recovery
of All Processing Taxes


4 BATTLE to recover all the
\ processing taxes paid to the
government under the invalidated
AAA was undertaken by the big
four" of the packing industry
Swift and Company, Armour and
Company, Wilson and Company
and the Cudahy Packing company.
Having won back $45,0O0,OO0
when the AAA was declared I'M
constitutional by the Supreme court
the packing industry has decided to
attempt to recover from the gov
ernment more than S200,0OO,OO0
paid before injunctiOns against the
tax were granted and subsequent
payments impounded.
The meat packing industry as
whole paid a total of 11,OOO,OO0
in processing taxes from the lncep-
ton of the AAA. The packers are
basing their claims for recovery on
the ground that as the Supreme
court ruled the processing taxes in
valid, payments made in accordance
with that law were illegally collect
ed and should be returned. 1t was
reported that smaller packing COM
panieS were considering action to
recover their tax payments, but
have waited until the major units
in the industry instituted their pro-
ceedings. The total in tax recov-
cries sought by the four big Chi
cago companies is approximately
$1OO,OOO,OOO.

Farm Income Sharply Up
In Years First Quarter

DARN cash income from market
l. ing in the United States amount
ed to $2,017,OOO,OOO in the first four
months Of 1886, compared with ST.
749O00,O00 last year, an increase of
1873 per cent, according to com
pilation issued by the Alexander
Hamilton institute.
The Institutes figures showed
that the price level during the first
four months was % per cent lower
than year ago, but the quantity
marketed showed an increase of
1S.1 per cent.
For the first four months of 1886
total farm cash incomes amounted
to. So, ,079, 100000 as against $500
100000 last year, an increase of
only 5.5 per cent. However, the in.
stitute says, the farmers purchas-
= ing power was actually 10.1 per
cent higher than it was a year ago,
due t" the lower prices for the
goods Hhich the farmers bought.
