Quick Approval
For Cotton-Rubber
Barter Forecast
Administration Leaders
See EorIy Action on
Deal With Britain
(Tert OF Barter Agreement on
Page A-3.)
BY the Associated Press.

Administration leaders predicted
today Congress would lose little
time in approving a history-making
agreement between the United
States and Great Britain to ex-
change such strategic war materials
as cotton and rubber.
The agreement, signed in London
yesterday, provides for exchange of
600 900 bales of surplus American
clifton for about 175,OOO,OOO pounds
of British rubber.
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy,
who negotiated the trade, said in
London that the same sort of deal
was under way between the United
States and the Netherlands govern
ments. He reported also that
Britain was still considering a pro-
posed exchange of tin for United
States wheat, but acknowledged that
this suggestion had encountered
many complications.
The Ambassador estimated the
agreement just reached would en-
able this country to get rid of $780,
600 900 worth of surplus cotton and
receive rubber which otherwise would
cost the United States $36, ,O0O,0O
Widespread Approval.
The trade, said to be the first of
its kind in history, won widespread
approval on Capitol Hill, where
legislation must be enacted to COM
plete this country's end of the
bargain.
The cotton and rubber will be held
in storage by both governments
against the contingency of a major
war emergency" The two govern
ments agreed, as a protection to
markets of producers of the two
commodities, not to dispose of the
reserves for seven years except in
war emergencies. Afterwards they
must consult each other if they de-
eide to dispose Of their stocks, and
must take all possible steps to avoid
market disturbances.
Farm administration officials des-
cribed the proposed barter as one of
several measures now in operation
or to be put into effect 10 reduce the
Nations huge cotton surplus. The
cotton to be traded would be taken
from stocks of II ,350.000 bales ac-
cumulated by the Government as
collateral for price-pegging loans
made to growers.
The administration hopes soon to
inaugurate- an export subsidy pro-
gram under which it expects to place
at least 5000, 900 bales of cotton in
foreign markets during the next

Japanese Tighten
Restrictions Around
Tientsin Concessions
Tension Is Heightenine
Between Nipponese
And British
By the Associated Press.

TIENTSIN, June 24.-Tension be-
tween japanese and British COM
munities in Tientsin mounted today
with a general Tightening of the
restrictions by which japanese have
isolated the British and French con-
ceSsions.
japanese officers declared "tem-
porary martial law" in the Japanese
concession, adjoining the French
concession, and cleared Asahi road
its main artery, of all traffic. The
move apparently was made because
of the arrival of some high Japa-
nese official.
Earlier Japanese gendarmes had
forced traffic in the area just out
side the concessions to a virtual
standstill after repeatedly discover
ing an attempt to smuggle in food.
Few Chinese Pass Barriers.
Only a few Chinese were under
taking to pass the barriers into the
British concession. In a drizzling
rain they were searched with more
than the usual thoroughness by
Japanese patrols.
The food scarcity continued. 1t
became noticeable in the, French
area for the first time since japanese
imposed their blockade on June IA,
when British authorities refused to
hand over four alleged Chinese ter
rorists.
The French placed police guards
about markets to prevent disorder
among crowds of Chinese seeking
food and to keep individuals from
buying more than the limited
amounts allowed by newly-imposed
regulations.
One small Chinese boy carrying a
basket of shrimps from a French
market was found by police to have
been sent out to all markets by a
Chinese merchant attempting to
repleniSh his seafood stock.
Supplies received in the British
concession were sold quickly.
New Protest by British.
"a AAC" DAi1ioAl pAOtCot was AlduC
late yesterday on the forcible un-
dressing of Cecil Davis, an honorary
agent for the New Zealand govern
ment and the ninth Briton subjected
to indignities in two days.
French have been better supplied
with food than British, and when a
shortage occurs French military
trucks have been able to visit the
Italian concession and obtain pro-
visions. French police, aided by the
garrison of 1000 French troops here,
have guarded their side Of the bar
riers carefully to keep out undesir-
ables.
Anti-British demonstrations un-
der official sponsorship at other
North China cities were followed by
by display of anti-British posters.
Chefoo was plastered with such
posters, as was Tsingtao.,
At Tsingtao, an anti-British poster
was put up on the building which
serves as the British consulate.
Only 500 persons instead Of the
100000 hoped for by the Japanese
controlled Peiping provisional gov
ernment turned out for a mass
meeting yesterday.

CARDIFF, Wales, June 24.-Prime
Minister Chamberlain today charac-
terized Japanese actions in Tientsir
both "high-handed and intolerably
insulting" in speech advising Toxic
mo British government could SUBJ
NIT to dictation from another power
as to its foreign policy"
The Prime Minister made a brief
reference to the international situa-
ton in an address at an open air
Conservative party rally in Cardiff
which attracted thousands of his
political supporters to hear an ex-
position of domestic policy.
Mr.. Chamberlain again, as he has
done in the House of Commons, ex-
pressed hope for local adjustment
of the trouble in Tientsin where the
Japanese were blockading the Brit
ish and French Concessions for the
11th day.
High-handed Treatment.
"A local dispute between ourselves
and the Japanese over the alleged
completely of certain Chinese in a
murder he said, has been fol-
lowed by blockade of the British
and French concessions in Tientsin
and by high-handed and intolerably
insulting treatment of British sub
jects by Japanese soldiers.
The matter is further compli-
Gated by public statements on the
part of local japanese officials max
ing the incident a pretext for far
reaching and quite inadmissible
claims for an alteration of the policy
which we and other governments
hitherto followed in these regions.

I am bound to add that no British
government could submit to dicta

if confidence were restored the path

disposed Of Heavyweight Champion
Joe Louis, and is in possession of
ringdom's crown of supremity.

a bout with Nova on June 1, and
hoping for another match with Joe
Louisa match that he has not thus
far earned.
He claims If Lou Nova beats him
he will quit the ring for good be-
cause no Baer is "gettin' himself

In training quarters Make looks
like the world-beater he really
should be. A fine physical speci-

Hercules seems to have all the at

struts and swaggers for the benefit
OF gymnasium customers. He isn't
at all shy, and seizes every oppor-
tunity to tell how dangerous he is
when aroused. The wise boys pay
no attention. The uninitiated get a
thrill out Of it. It doesn't do much
harm.
One Of the severest beatings of
Baer's career was administered by
Joe Louis. and today Max is talking
his way to revenge. He swears that
he Is ready-that he is determined
to win out-that he will whip Joe
Louis when he gets to him.

things they said about his last fight
with Louis. Baer's courage was
questioned In many corners, and
that hurt. In fact, his knockout BY
the Brown Bomber perhaps hurt him
less than some Of the resulting tales
questioning his willingness to fight.
He now claims that his wife and
little Baer have reformed him, have
torn him from the primrose path.

WHETHER or not Ellsworth
w Vines. who has forsaken pro
tennis to concentrate on an amateur
golf career, can ever become a sue
cessful golfer is a much-debated
question.
Vines himself is quite optimistic,
believing he will do more than all
right for himself. Others, particu-
larry golf experts, are not so sure.
The former tennis notable quail
fed for the National amateur golf
tournament last year, but went out
early. He is of the opinion that if
he devotes all his time to the links
game he NAV advance further.
Perry points out, very logically,
that Ellsworth Vines, the tennis star,
playing around IS is quite an attrac-
ton, but when he becomes exclu-
sively the golfer he's merely one out
Of thousands who play about the
same kind Of golf.
II Vines carries his tennis tenden-
cies over to his golf debut he will
run into trouble. Vines has always
tended to fold up when there was
something at stake in a tennis
match, and is likely to do the same
when he is in q crucial golf test.
His tennis game went to pieces in
National championship and Davis
cup tests, and as pro it crum-
bled in matches against Tilden. Per-
ry and Bulge.

May Upset Yanks

Who can upset the Yanks? Most
authorities are Of the opinion that
il can't be done this season. But
there are a few who are willing to
concede the Boston Red Sox an out
side chance. And well they might,
for the Sox have a lot of what is
needed to turn over a well-stocked
apple cart.
The Red Sox have the best spirit
of any team in the league, and
they're going out to win with team
entirely capable of annexing that
coveted banner. The Bosox are a
young. hard-fighting outfit. They
have one of the brightest assem-
blages of rockies in either league.

old American Association batting

being groomed for second base. An
other-Woodrow Rich-is being tout.
ed as real find. With Little Rock
last year. he won 10 and lost 10 and
yielded only PAT earned runs a
game.
Though there is considerable
doubt about Lefty Grove. whose arm
went dead" last season, their pitch
ing staff will be sufficient, even if
the ancient Lefty does fade out.
The Yanks, who have cut three
straigh. world series melons, aren't
as hungry for the honors as the Red
Sox. Three straight titles dulls to
some degree the urge to win. and
that spells dynamite for any club.
And it won't be the biggest sur
prise Of the year, alarmists to the
contrary. il the Boston Red Sox wind
up the season about 10 games ahead
OF the Yankees. And the "break EN-
