ference called at the initiative of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt for
the purpose of discussing what may
be done to help Jewish and political
refugees from Germany and the for
mer Austria. There is a decided ten
dency to offer help and to-let the
other fellow offer it, for nation after
nation arises and points out that GER
tain other nations are in far better
shape to absorb the Jews than they
themselves.
Just now, the conference has dis
solved itself into a number of COM
mitteeS negotiating behind closed
doors, and it is considered doubtful
that any thing concrete will be &C
complished at this time.
In Palestine there is also a most
active Jewish problem, for the old
strife between the Jews and the
Arabs has again broken out; there is
danger of an actual civil war; also
danger of an Arab invasion from
TranSjordania. Great Britain, DOS
sessing mandatory powers, is moving
cruisers and troops into the Holy
Land and hopes that it may quell
disorders by display of power where
peaceful means have failed.
Back of the trouble is the Arab
contention that Palestine is an Arab
country, and that Arab interests are
being neglected and left to suffer be-
cause Great Britain permits and en-
courages mass immigration of Jews
Two years ago London formulated a
plan for dividing Palestine into a
Jewish, an Arab and a neutral (Brit-
iSh) zone. It failed-and nothing else
has been offered as a substitute.
South American Peace.
Long ago the bloody Gran Chacc
war between Bolivia and Paraguay
is over-after having lasted more than
three years and cost more than a
hundred thousand lives. Since June
1885, when an armistice was signed
peace negotiations have been in pro-
gress, breaking down every so often
and only now-the other day-a pre-
liminary peace treaty was signed
1t is by no means final, but it is
important to the extent that both
nations agree to submit the con-
troversy to international arbitra-
ton, and to abide by the results of
whatever arbitration tribunal is Or
gained. Observers on the spot point
out, however, that it is yet too soon
to be certain about definite peace
in fact, that nothing can be considered
absolutely certain until a regular
treaty of peace has been duly signed
and that may take quite a while.

South st. Paul, Mimi, July IL,
1898: Hog prices scared to a new
high since October 10, 1887, with light
receipts and spiraling fresh pork mar
kets providing the impetus, accord
ing to the Federal-State Market
News Service. Top reached $3.50 for
choice 16O to 200 pound barrows and

realized SIPS to $500. Pigs con-
tinued scarce, being quotable from
$3.50 to $3.50.
Although slaughter cattle continued
to sell at strong prices, or highest
since last November, there was more
opposition on the part of buyers to
current live costs. Replacement

turned at $500 to $500, strictly choice
at $3.50. Good stock steers sold at
S7.25 to SITS, a few choice steers
upward to $8.75 and plain to medium
stockers at $3.50 to $500. Dairy cows
were active and stronger with de-
mand broader. Good shipping spring.
er cows turned at $4,000 to $4,000,
extremes above that spread, and plain
to medium mixers or springers at
$4,000 to $1,000 largely.
Spring lambs suffered Csc decline
this week, but other classes held
steady. Featuring the trade was the
sale of 80 cars of choice 80 to 81
pound Washington spring lambs at
$500 straight. Good to choice ma
tive springers cashed at $3.50, grass
fat yearlings at $500 to $3.50, plain
to choice slaughter ewes at $1.50 to
1925, and yearling breeding ewes at
S7.25 to S840 according to kind.

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

has been the prime mover In the
negotiations, and it also has been kept
busy discussing conditions on which
General Franco will permit English
merchant vessels to ply Spanish
waters. He has been-one may say
so with his tongue in his cheek
accommodating, for he has "gener-
ously" promised English boats pro-
lection in the port of Almeria; the
offer is in the nature of joke, for
that particular port is so far away
from all the important cities yet in
loyalist territory that the cargoes
carried in English bottoms will have
mighty hard time getting to their
ultimate destinations, such as Madrid,
Barcelona and Valencia. But at
least, since Mussolini at the behest
of Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain whispered into the ears of Fran
co, that gentleman has desisted from
bombarding English ships.
The Two Wars.
This week the Spanish civil war
is two years old, and by far the
largest part of the country is in the
hands of the rebels; they have not yet
taken Madrid, nor Barcelona, nor
Valencia, but they are making ener-
getic attempts to storm the latter
city, the capture of which opens the
road to Barcelona. Just now thou
sands of men and hundreds of wom-
en- are engaged in digging trenches
and stretching barbed wire in the
immediate vicinity of Valencia in an
effort to stave off the final attack.
Francois troops are still between SO
and 40 miles from that goal but are
drawing closer all the time, although
not without meeting strong resistance.
And last week Japan's war against
China was one year old; during the
past twelvemonth the invaders have
occupied about 775,O0O square miles
of Chinese territory-correSpo
roughly, to little more than twice
the area of Texas.
AS has been the case for several
weeks, the Japanese continue their
march on Hankow, the provincial
capital of China; they are apparently
planning attacks by airplanes, artil-
lery and navy, and the danger grows
each day more and more imminent.
Air bombardments take place right
along; the army is marching in the
direction of Hankow, impeded, how
ever, by the Chinese legions as well
as by the rising waters of the YangtZe
river, and up that river squadrons
of the japanese navy are slowly NOV
ing, ordering, as it goes along, all
foreign shipping to get out of the way.
While the enemy is getting closer
to China's capital, Germany's friend
ship for China has cooled off, the
German ambassador has been re-
called to Berlin, and Hitler has sent
for the 27 high German officers who
have been military advisers to Field
Marshal Chang Kai-shek. The osten-
sible reason for these moves is Tokyo's
apparent dissatisfaction with a Ger
said to be in accord with the spirit
of the German-Japanese treaty of
friendship. China now fears that the
German advisers on their return to
Berlin will reveal military secrets
which may get into the hands of
Japan-detouring through Germany.
