Not only Canadian farmers bat
also those OF Argentina and Aus.
tral!a are now taking measures 10
adjust their wheat production to
demand and protect their income
through national farm programs. a
step IN which American farmers
were leaders seven years ago, he
stated.
The Argentine and Canadian gov

bushel and Canadian farmers about
80 cents Both governments say
now that they cannot continue 20
buy unlimited amounts OF wheat
grown by their producers, unless
foreign markets reopen so that the
surplus can be shipped out.
Mr.. Cole compares the one-point
purchase programs Of Argentina
and Canada to the siX-point farm
program in the United States. The
American program includes: acre
age aHotments to adjust produc.

Traveller Says Japan
Decided 10 Commit
National Hari-Kari
Would Lose Less Foce
In Defect by Great
Power Than by Chino
By WILLIAM PINKERTON,
Wide World News.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-A traveller
familiar with the Orient, just back
from Singapore. voiced the opinion
| today that Japan chose to provoke
''the greater powers" because in such
war she would lose less face" If
defeated.
Deane Dickson. weu-known
travel lecturer, declared, Japan has
chosen national hari-kari as the
honorable way out Of an intolerable
situation"
Il think that both Japan and
the Netherlands Indies were dis
appointed by what seemed our lack
of interest when the Japanese
moved into Indo-China last spring,
he said.
"The Dutch were afraid that the
United States might not move If
Japan attacked Thailand or the
Netherlands Indies.
Perhaps the Japanese. too, had
a feeling then that the United
States would not move unless at
tackled directly"
Finally Showed Interest.
The freezing of japanese assets
and the embargo on oil shipments
after the Japanese march into Indo-
China showed, he added, that the
United States did have some inter-
est in the status. quo of the Pacific.
The people of the Malay PENN
sula, strategic tip Of the Asiatic
mainland. had been expecting war
on fortnightly basis all during the
summer, Mr.. Dickson reported, and
were prepared for 1t.
Mr.. Dickson left there about Oc-
tober l. Both the Netherlands East
Indies and the British at Singapore
were prepared to fight Japan
without allies If need be-when I
left" he said in an interview at his
New York hotel.
Six months ago, he added, they
would not have fought without as-
sistance.
Oil and Food Scarce.
The reason that Japan felt forced
TO 60 to war. Mr.. Dickson said,
was that her supplies, both OF oil
and Of food, were getting short.
European evacuees from Japan told
him in August, he said, that in their
opinion Japan did not have enough
supplies to last beyond November is.
THE shutting OF of oil from the
United States and Mexico was the
same as cutting OF the blood stream
Of an industrial nation such as
Japan"
He heard estimates that, at most,
Japan had oil reserves to last two
years-if no aggressive war was un-
dertaken. With aggressive warfare,
Japans oil stocks would not last
beyond year, he said he was told.
China Gaining Strength.
Meanwhile, China was gaining
strength through the lease-lend aid
Of the United States, he continued,
and Japan was likely to fall victim
to the Chinese II she did not move
Aggressively herself
One reason Japan moved into
ndo- China, he added, was to divert
the rice Of that rich agricultural
region to her own island, where food
was not plentiful
Certainly, he added, Japan also
