China’s Masses Viewed Likely to Run Amuck

Poor and Starving, They Are Embracing ‘Red’ Doctrines. BL WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrinns-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—While the spotlight is beating down on Europe and events nearer home, in the shadows of the far east trouble is cooking up w'hich threatens once more to focus world attention on that part, of the globe. China’s masses, 450.000.000 strong, are in danger of running amuck. Abandoned by the rest of the w'orld to sink or swim in their own poverty and misery, they are drifting on a course which may make the Boxer uprising a third of a century ago seem mild. The warships of four nations —the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan—are on the alert. Foreigners in large inland areas have been warned to be ready to rush to treaty ports on short notice. , China Going "Red” Foreigners assert that China is going “Red." What passes for Communism in that country is spreading, despite the most vigorous campaigns of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Chinese strong man, and his second in command, "Young Marshal” Chang Hsueh-liang, former war lord of Manchuria, with headquarters now at Hankow. What is taking place in China is not really the result of Communism. Her millions, wallowing in poverty and beset by civil wars .banditry, flood s,' drought, famine and pestilence, are groping about desperately looking for a w f ay out. Anything that seems to promise them regular food and jobs, they grab onto like a drowning man grabs at a straw-. World War Possible Dr. Sun Yat-sen predicted trouble unless the world lent China a helping hand. He told the writer in 1921 that another world war might result from anarchy in China. Accordingly he worked out an ambitious plan whereby the world's

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

leading powers would co-operate to help put China on her feet. Japan, however, has put thumbs down on the Sun Yat-sen scheme. Even the feeble efforts of the League of Nations to aid China have been frowned upon by Nippon. Tokio charges the League's representatives in the Orient played politics. Japan's "hands off” China policy dooms the plans of the league or any foreign power to lend China a helping hand. Japan virtuallywarned the world that China was her sphere and that any “interference” in that country would be regarded as hostile to her. She intimated she might even resort to force, if necessary. Nippon's policy is frankly to keep China weak. A strong China would be a threat to Japan. A modern nation with 450.000.000 population would be more than a match for Japan, next door, with 65,000.000. A China divided against herself, chaotic and poverty-stricken, plays into the hands of the island empire next door. Conditions w'ithin China, therefore, stand to grow worse instead of better. An anti-foreign uprising known as the Boxer Rebellion stood the world on its beam-end some thirty-four years ago. A similar outburst, whether labeled Communism or otherwise, is in the making. Foreign intervention would follow inevitably. This would likelylead to China's partition. Japan, this time, would get the lion's share. The United States, as usual, wgrnld come out at the little end of the horn. For while Japan and some of the nations of Europe have been, and still are, agreeable to dividing Chinese territory between them, the only stake the United States has in that quarter of the w-orld is a share in the market w-hich a prosperous, united China would offer.

WORLD WHEAT PACT SLASHES U,S.EXPORTS Proposal Would Cut Quota Nearly to Vanishing Point. • Copyrish*. 1934. by Cnl'.fd Press! LONDON. Aug 16—A new draft world wheat agreement., under consideration by ihe international wheat advisory commit tee. would slash tha United States export quota almost to the vanishing point, it was learned today. Whereas the United States was allotted a 47.000.000 bushel quota for the last crop year and a prospective quota of 84.000.000 bushels for the new crop year, the agreement- would give America a quota of but 15.000.000 bushels. This quota would compare with the following allowances for other countries during the year terminating July 31. 1935: Canaria 250,000.000 bushels; ArI gentina. 140,000.000 bushels; Australia. 120.000.000 bushels; Russia, , 20.000.000 bushels: Hungary. 12.000.000 bushels, and Bulgaria and Jugoslavia. 4.000.000 busheLs each. Thus the total world exports for the 1934-1935 year would be 565.000,000 bushels. American quotas for the quarterly periods into which the allotments would be divided are set as follows: August - October 1934. 6.300.000 bushels: November 1934-January 1935. 3.500.000 bushels; FebruaryApril 1935. 2.200.000 bushels; MayJulv 1935, 3.000.000 bushels. The suggested quotas are embodied in an ancx of a report by subcommittees of the conference. Secretary Andrew Cairns of the conference circulated the annex privately among delegates. He said that the tabulated figures were preliminary approximations intended to serve as examples," but delegates were understood to regard the figures as most significant even as suggestions. The draft pact is designed to increase wheat prices by more drastic regulation of exports. Nine wheat exporting countries were considered. Yugoslavia was given no quota at all. Each country’s quota would be divided, like that of the United States, into quarterly lots, each specified as to amount.
