END OF TREATY TO AID CHINA
Biggest B s t to Its
 Morale Since U. s. Made a. Loan Available
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Shanghai, Jan. 25-(UP)-Au- thoritative neutral informants as- serted today that expiration of the Japanese-American trade treaty was the biggest boost to Chinese morale and unity since the $25, ,000,- 900 export-import loan by the United States in 1888.
 They said: .
 1-The expiration was regarded here as forerunner to a trade en- bargo which the Japanese army ad- mitS might force crrtailment of its military operations.
 2-It is calculated to put further difficulties in the way of Wang Ching-Wei's efforts, as head of a so-called Chinese" government to operate in Japanese-occupied areas, to win over influential Chinese leaders.
 Expiration of the treaty coincided with jubilant Chinese claims to a big victory on the central front, on the borders of Honan and Hupeh provinces, where it was asserted that the Chinese killed 13,000 or a force of 10000 Japanese in a week long battle, sent the rest on the retreat. and captured 27 tanks and 12 field guns.
 United States Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson arrived here. After a visit to Peiping, a week ago, and remained ill close touch with de- velopmentS.
 No official United States reaction was available here. But neutral sources expressed conviction that aside from the stimulation to the Chinese cause, the treaty abrogation must dampen Japanese hopes that the Wang government" would be able to negotiate a peace" with

 The oratory which marked Borah's life was to be absent from the ser- vice. It was to be distinguished by solemn simplicity.
 An honor guard of military was to escort the large gray steel coffin from the capitol to the special plot set aside by the Boise park board.
 Hundreds of floral offerings banked the rotunda. They were to be trans ferred to the grave by six trucks.

Thanksgiving Feast
To Contrast Sharply
With Hunger Abroad
Housewives Can Heap
Holiday Tables High
At Modest Cost
By the Assnciatrd Press

by Jne Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18-That homely
Thanksgiving ritual, the feast, will
be solemnized this year amid ma
tiOnal peace and plenty.
This is not unusual in the Amer
lean scene, for most of the Thanks
giving Days of the past have been
blessed with tranquility and abund-
ance, but it is more striking in 1910
by contrast to want and desolation
in many other lands.
War has not touched the Amer
lean diet. A survey today of whole
sale markets, barOmeters of what
housewives will encounter at retail
shops the next few days, showed that
ample supplies await her selection
at prices comparable with a year
ago, when Americans enjoyed one
OF the most economical holiday
spreads in five years.
The housewife will find stores
laden with the "makins' and fix
ms" of the traditional feast. She
will carry no ration card, will find
no long line in which she must wait
for barest necessities for her table
and Will be free to buy what she
likes and what her pure will permit.
And. as wholesale market prices
indicated, her purse should go
long way The bountiful 1910 har-
vests are moving to market at peace
time prices. Considering greater
consumer buying power with eX-
panded industrial payrolls accom-
panying national rearmament. foods
are still on the bargain counter.
Prices of some ingredients house
wives will use to prepare dinner
Thursday (and week from Thurs
day in l6 States have risen slightly
in the past few weeks, but there has
been no general advance. Cold
weather helped to raise the price of
holiday turkeys a few cents a pound
but current wholesale quotations
are practically the same as a year
ago, as are ducks and geese. Chick
ems are slightly higher.
Many other staples which will
go INTO the thanksgiving menu are
lower in wholesale markets. These
include potatoes. flour. lemons.
oranges, eggs. coffee. beets, cabbage,
celery, leaf lettuce, mushrooms. par
ships and some grades of sweet
potatoes Some of the items which
are slightly higher than last year
include apples, butter. sugar, cheese.
cranberries and few vegetables.
Domestic reserve stocks of foods
are much larger than a year ago
The live turkey supply, which was
reduced slightly by last weeks WIN
try weather, was the largest on rec
ord. Poultry stocks in storage, to-
falling almost ll5.OOO0OO pounds. are
Al per cent greater than a year ago.
with supplies of turkeys. ducks and
chickens showing greatest increase.
Storage supplies Of frozen fruits.
vegetables, cheese. eggs. lard and
meats also have increased.
