Chinese Communists demanded
anew today that American forces

alist troops to Manchuria as the
dispute about the size of forces
the Communists and central
government should maintain in
the Northern territory broke out
again.
A dispatch from Yenan, Com

ed the demand to the United States,
charged that Government troops
are being poured into Manchuria for
civil war purposes
Satisfactory settlement of this
question (of relative forces in Man.
churia) will decide the prospect of
peace in Manchuria and the whole
country" the dispatch said.
The Communists contend that the
Nationalist troops are going all out
to precipitate larger scale hostilities
against Communist and local popu-
lar forces in Manchuria before the
arrival of the cease fire field teams
in order to Illustrate efforts to end
hostilities."
Olen Clements, Associated Press

ing the agreements it had made.
The Communists protested, ap-
parently on basis of the February

against government plans to dis

Comdr. CARRIER went to consider
able trouble early in 1912 to make
the kite fit target for naval gun
crews. The cheap rayon he procured
was colored to resemble a typical
Pacific sky and on this he painted
the silhouette of japanese fighter
plane. The Navy had him demon
strate it, ordered several hundred
thousand and began to get them in
quantity the following August Later
the commander happened to show
his target kite to some Army officers

order being placed. The kites now

To Restore Quota for
Filipino Sugar Export
By J. A. O'Leory

The beet and cane sugar indus
tries in the United States will have
all the quota they can supply for
years to come, Paul V. McNutt, high
commissioner to the Philippines,
told the Senate Finance Committee
today as he urged restoration in the
Philippine trade bill of the original
quota of $4,000 long tons of sugar
the Philippines may ship to this
country annually.
Mr.. McNutt declared no domestic
interest stands to benefit from the
House action in cutting the Philip
pine quota to $4,000 short tons-a
reduction of 100000 short tons.
Beet sugar is 100000 tons below
quota this year" Mr.. McNutt con-
tinued, 1T will be a long, long time
before that deficit is made up. if 1t
ever is, and the United States con-
sumption demands for sugar has
jumped up from a base of $500 900
short tons in 1910 to an estimated
100000 tons this year"
war LHlOICeS Delay.
Pointing out that it will be long
time before the Philippines can ship
IN its quota, because of war-devas-
tated fields and mills, Mr.. McNutt
added:
THE only country which is in a
position to take advantage of the
Philippine deficit is Cuba. And
please remember that, according to
the Sugar Act, the Philippines divide
the foreign sugar quota with Cuba
and Cuba alone. The domestic in
terests get their quota from an en-
tirely separate percentage base, to-
gether with Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands.
There isn't any question of i'm
mediate advantage or disadvantage
for the Philippines in this short
tonning and short-changing. 1t is
just a symbol to the Philippines of
a rather niggardly, small action by
our country.
Would Mean Much to Islands.
I'm the long run it will be signifi-
cant for the Philippines. 1t will
mean considerable amount of cash
income for the Philippines which
will be important to that country
for purposes of the accumulation of
capital, and to provide revenues for
the government
The Philippines will achieve indie
pendence on July 4, and the islands
must enter that new era with their
productive machinery crippled by
the war.
This trade agreement measure,
and the $525, 900, 900 war damage re-
lief measure already passed py the
Senate, are intended to help the
Filipinos get back on their feet and
become economically independent
and elf-sustaining.
The trade bill allows the Philip
