Tokyo Newspapers Bitter
" Criticize Economic
War Measure OF United

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-Presi-

Japan has made fine Far Eastern
situation so tense that a single
spark might ensulf the whole
Orient in war. an authorised
japanese spokesman in Tokyo
declared today.
Tokyo newspapers commented
bitterly, on the new United
States measure of economic
war. and editorials warned that
Japan must and will get oil.
even if il is necessary 10 get il
by force.
The papers said the United
States has attempted to join
Russia in a military alliance
against Japan, and warned that
the island empire is ready to
fight for her position as the
leader of the Far East. Accord
ing to the Tokyo papers, the
United States is willing to trade
military support to Russia for
bases in Siberia opposite Alaska.
Reports from all over the
world, meanwhile, were telling
of intense military activity. and
London military experts predict
ed Japan would launch drive
against Thailand in a matter of
days.
With reports describing swift
occupation of French Indo-China,
the chungking government of
China declared that the spear
head of japanese aggression al
ready is in Thailand.
London said japanese troops
have been pouring into Man
chuoko for days. and it is be-
lieved possible there that Tokyo
may be ready to cooperate with
Adolf Hitler in a drive against
the great Russian port of Vladi-
vostock.
Other experts believe, how
ever. that Japanese moves to-
ward Russia and the inspired
newspaper comment on a pos
siblen u. S.-Russian alliance may
be a smoke screen for a quick
move to the south.
japanese soldiers are said to
have poured into the great naval
base Of Hamranh in French Indo-
China, and it is reported in
Shanghai that Japanese planes
are massed within two hours fly
ing time of the Thailand capital
at Bangkok.

Speculative Booming
OF Farmers Feared
As Wars Aftermath

DR.. c. w. Warburton, deputy gov
ernor of the farm credit administration,
says: II don't know what is going to
happen to agriculture after the war
and I don't think anyone else does"
He offers as guess" however, that
the farmer who extends on a specu-
lative basis "is due for an awful head
ache little later" adding that "the
same statement might apply to a good
many other lines than agriculture"
During the "other" war speculation
in farm lands differed in degree only
ffom the type Of stock speculation
which ended in the great bust of 1929.
Thousands of farmers over-extended,
only to find themselves bankrupt when
the piper called for his pay.
World war No. has not encouraged
speculation in any considerable scale,
primarily for the reason that farm
prices have been low-plus the paucity
Of ready money, plus the vagrant mem
cries Of burned fingers 2O-odd years
ago.
While nobody can foresee the trend
Of agriculture's future, a very marked
spirit of caution prevails That IS all
to the good.

STATE TO SELL
ALL IT'S GRAIN

Montana will sell an estimated $780,
900 bushels Of wheat grown on state
school land "as it is harvested" ]. w
Walker. state land commissioner, said
Walker said the decision to sell the
wheat rather than seek storage and
secure wheat loans was reached be-
cause of lack of storing facilities in
Montana mills and elevators.
A plan to have farmers store the
wheat and hold it for the state was
abandoned as impractical.
The state receives minimum rental
of one-fifth of crops harvested on
school land, and in some cases a
greater return.
The land commissioner said that
inasmuch as the law provides the state
shall pay storage charges on wheat
grown on state land, it is expected
that only small loss will result from
the sale of the grain Immediately.
He added the state already has re-
ceived offers to purchase the wheat
from elevator companies having stor-
age space in the east.
Walker said he believed the state
would receive about II cents a bushel
for the crop, since offers received were
at market price.
Montana has been cramped for
wheat storage space this year, and for
the past several weeks farmers have
been urged to provide home storage
facilities. In the case of the state
owned land, it was decided after dis
cussions between the commissioner, the
state land board and Gov. Sam c.
Ford, the difficulties presented in en-
deavoring to secure home storage
made quick sale Of the grain ad-
