MONCOLS FIND
LIFE DISRUPTED
FROM INVASION.
SIXTY THOUSAND WANDER
ING TRBESMEN ARE uN-
WILLING PARTICIPANTS IN
FACTION STRUGGLE
By J. d. WHITE
uIy Associated Presal

PEIPING, Jan. 19.-The $4,000
wandering Mongol tribesmen who
live in Chahar province are un-
willing participants in the strug-
gle between invaders from the
east and the Chinese defenders of
Suiyuan province to the west.
Their ancestral territory has
been converted into a battle
ground as forces of irregulars
drive acknowledgement, China
declares, by the Japanese for the
purpose of extending Nippon's
continental empire.
The country north of Changpei,
on the edge of the 5,000-foot-high
Inner Monaghan plateau, is today
forbidden territory to all but Mon
gols, Manchoukuo troops, and Jap
anese military officers.
Chinese influence does not ex-
tend beyond Changpei, and no
travellers except Japanese and
Mongols are allowed north of that
point. All missionaries have had
to leave as the Japanese nucleus
at Dolonor, gateway to Jehol on
the east. has expanded during the
past two years to include the
northern two-thirds of Chahar
province.
Fit Only For Grazing
Economically speaking, Chahar
is poor prospect, all except the
southern fringe being unfit for in
tensive farming. Mongol shep-
herds and cattle, horse, and camel
raisers move their flocks over the
high tundra today just as they did
700 years ago. The land will not
support anything above such a
pastoral economy.
But it is a far cry from the
modern" Mongol to his fierce
ancestor whom not even the great
wall of China could stop.
Ridden by disease, dominated
economically by Chinese, bossed
politically by japanese, virtually
leaderless and held in ignorance
by the thousands of superstitious
lama-priests who in some districts
compose rs per cent of the adult
population, the Mongol today is
but a helpless shadow of his fore
father.
Suffer Great Hardships
Once a wealthy region owing to
the vast caravan trade which
passed through it, Inner Mongolia
is today isolated from the world,
and its pastoral inhabitants have
fallen far behind the advance of
civilization.
! With the caravan trade gone,
the Mongels are reduced to sheep
and cattle raising. Being nomads,
they prefer to let Chinese who
have settled along the southern
fringe of Chahar raise what grain
they need. They have little to sell
and live in constant poverty.
After a hard winter such as that
of last year which killed off go
per cent of the stock in some
districts, they suffer untold hard
ships from famine.

, Morgenthau and Magill were
going into huddle with the
President tonight on the I938-39
budget. Mr.. Roosevelt says it
will be definitely in balance" and
Morgenthau-m more cautious
says nothing definite can be pre-
dicted before next January.
NEW REVENUE ASKED
Acting Budget Director Daniel
Bell was due here Monday. He
probably will pronounce the last
word.
Specifically, crop control will
cost the government about $780,.
100000. Having demanded an
"ever-normal granary" from the
coming special session Of con-
gress, Mr.. Roosevelt last week
advised chairmen of the agri-
cultural committees that new
revenue would have to be devised
to offset federal subsidies.
1t is confidently expected that
the enormous corn surplus of the
middle west will be removed as a
danger element by an announce
ment of a government corn loan
financed by Reconstruction Fin
ance funds. This, it is explained,
would permit the corn-hog farmers
to carry over the huge corn
surplus, remove danger Of a flat
tened corn market and at the
same time remove the financing
problem from the budget problem.
RELIEF TO BE CUT
The President repeatedly has de-
cideG to reduce relief to an arbi-
trary figure of $1,000, 00O, 900 next
year-a definite cut from the bill
lion and a half with which WPA
Administrator Harry Hopkins has
been operating since July /, 1887.
Finally, a recommendation was
expected that Congress sharply
modify the taxes on undistributed
SURPRISES and capital tax. In the
last few days, Mr.. Roosevelt has
been urged to tighten these taxes
by a number of callers represent
ing Wall Street and big financial
interests.
The Administration already has
manifested a desire to soothe
stock market traders by lowering
the margin requirement from SIS
to 40 per cent and placing short
selling inverSely at so per cent.

Wreath of American
Causes Tempest

Rim, Oct. 40 0.N.sJ.
German military officials were o
little red.faced today over y
comedy Of errors" in which an
American Legionaire from New
York's Bronx honored Germany's
Jewish war dead while 800 loyal
Nazis gave the party salute.
The American war veteran who
played the major role-in the
name of the American Legion
was I. j. Gennett, q news dealer.
OFFICIALS ADVISED
He succeeded in decorating,
temporarily at least, the austere
German war memorial in the
Inter den Linden with a wreath,
one of whose three ribons was
dedicst ted to the Jewish war dead.
Before doing so, Gennett went
to the proper army officials and
explained his intention. He was
promptly given an escort Of four
troopers and a noncommissioned
officer as well as permission to
lay the wreath tremendously.
800 SEE ACTION
Three hundred spectators were
on hand to witness the event, and
all lifted their arms in the Nazi
salute as the wreath was put in
place.
But two and a half hours later
two policemen arrived at Gen
nett's hotel. Firmly they re-
quested that he accompany them
to a police station. There, for
three hours, he was grilled by
Nazi authorities-who demanded
to know how he obtained an army
escort to commemorate Jewish
war veterans. Later he was re-
leased.
This afternoon, the white rib
bon, inscribed in gold to the Jew
ish war veterans, remained undis-
turbed on the war memorable.
