1889 Wheat Production
Is Reported Smaller
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported yesterday that 1899 wheat
production in % Northern Hemis-
phere countries was approximately
200, 900 900 bushels below last year.
Estimates for this year totaled
2,375 $4,000 bushels as against g.
592, ,122 900 in 1898.
Large stocks of wheat carried over
from previous crops, when added
to this production, will give the
world the largest total supply on
record.
Most Of this years production
decline is the result of the smaller
United States crop, but the depart
ment reported smaller harvests also
in a number of European countries.
Japan and North American coun-
tries were credited with unusually
heavy production.

sible purposes behind those sugges-
tions.
1t was no longer simply a ques-
ton of discussion of the status of
Danzig but also of the risk that
might later be faced by Poland
and Europe in general
Persons in close contact with the
facts would say tonight only that
the question of war or peace still
hangs very much in the balance.
Meanwhile the French Ambassa-
dor to Moscow, Paul Emile Magyar,
has left his post on a call from his
government and was speeding back
to Paris. His recall, officially de-
scribed as ION long leave" reflect
ed French dissatisfaction with Rus
sias explanation of why she signed
the non-aggression accord with
Germany.
Mobilization Advanced.
France advanced military prep
arations almost to the point of gen.
eral mobilization by calling up the
three new groups of reserves.
Today's mobilization called up
groups l, and 6.
Only two groups remain to be
called before mobilization would be-
come general. Eight groups in all
have now been called.
Diplomats in Paris were frankly
confused by the rapid developments.
Usually well-informed diplomatic
circles said Hitler had made "such
clever proposition" which Hender-
son took to London, that it was al
most impossible not to envisage dis
cussion."
On the other hand, French diplo-
matte sources characterized the
French position as "one of absolute
drmneSS."
They added that, while France
was willing to negotiate with Ger
many to avoid war, it was only
"along the line indicated by Pre-
mier Daladier in his broadcast last
night"
C0nfers With Bonnet.
M. Daladier issued the new mo-
bilization order after morning con-
ference with Foreign Minister
Georges Bonnet and British Ambas-
sador Sir Eric Phipps.
Before he saw M. Daladier, M.
Bonnet talked over latest reports
from Poland with Ambassador Julius
Lukasiewicz, Warsaw's envoy.
Under Frances new mobilization
plan, which was first tested during
last September's crisis, all French
reserves are divided into II groups.
First are the "disponsibles, which
are the last two classes to have COM
pleted their regular military service.
They have been under arms for six
months.
Next come eight numbered groups
Of white cards, varying in strength
and based not on age but training
and duties in time of war. Two,
three and four were called up Thurs
day. One, five and six were called
up today. Seven and eight have not
yet been called.
Last come reservists bearing red
cards, who are all called up only
with general mobilization.
Holders of red cards have nota-
tions marked on their cards telling
them whether to report the first,
second, third or fourth day of gen.
eral mobilization. Still other red
card holders are called up after these
men have been moved cut.
