Say if War With Japs Can Be Avoided. ASHINGTON, Nov..14 (U. P.) —
WwW. President Roosevelt announced today that the United States would
withdraw its 970 Marines now sta-
tioned in China and declared, in response to questions, that it was impossible to say whether ‘war; with “{Japan can he avoided. Mr. Roosevelt: told :a press conference that the withdrawal of the ~|[Marines, who are. stationed at Shanghai, Peiping and Tientsin, would begin shortly. Other suthoritative sources said the recall would not actually begin until American citizens in’ Shanghai are given a last chance to return home. Americans in the Far East have been advised repeatedly to return to this country.
Thinks U. S. Aware of ‘Peril
‘Mr. Roosevelt would not connect the Marine removal order with the status of U. S.-Japanese relations and the impending “peace”: talks among officials: here. and. Saburo Kurusu, Japan’s ace diplomat now en route to this country. . . But reporters made several attempts to link the two moves, asking him at one point whether he eve the “American ‘people realize the seriousness of the Far Eastern situation.” He replied that he thought the country was aware of it. He then was asked “whether there will be war right away in the Far East,” and he answered that he sincerely trusted there would not. “Can war with.Japan be avoided?” a reporter then inquired.

O'Neal Tells Farm Bureau
The farmers will suffer most by inflation, President Edward O'Neal of the American Farm Bureau Fed-
.|eration warned Indiana Farm Bu-|
reau members at their convention
Session last ‘night. O'Neal advised them ‘to ‘use or additional income they receive during these times: to pay their debts and to buy savings bonds “to hold against the difficult days to come.” “All groups of the population,” he said, “should realize that we can’t have full production of peacetime goods ‘and also full production of defense materials at the same time; and all should make up their minds to get along without some things for the duration of the emergency.”
Looks to Post-W. War Period
Mr. O'Neal said that all groups. should pay their fair share of the defense costs and that -“consideration should be given to a plan providing that wage increases would be paid in non-negotiable bonds, to be cashed at the end of the emergency. » “This plan,” he said, “would aid in holding purchases ‘of consumer goods to normal levels during the emergency, and af the end would provide a reservoir ‘of - purchasing power that would be . tremendously $ffontive in - cushioning the effects of readjustment after the war. “All groups of the population should realize that ‘we ‘can’t have full production of peacetime goods and also full production of ‘defense materials at the same time, and all should make up: their minds to get
along’ without some things for the
duration of the emergency. Labels Strikes “Treason”
“If people generally will reduce their purchases of goods voluntarily and save money instead of spending it, the savings thus accumulated will form ‘a’ backlog of purchasing power necessary to-keep our industrial plants going and’ our labor
In an interview, Mr. O'Neal charged that strikes in defense industries should be classified as “treason.” He said “he was speaking as an Alabama cotton farmer, rather than as head of the Farm Bureau Federation. He agreed with the resolution passed by the Farm Bureau in his home state which declared; : “We consider efforts by any group to use “the present emergency to further its selfish ends as treason.” Mr. O'Neal said that “we all have given up certain rights in our efforts to arm the nation.” He: stated that the Farm Bureau would fight for control of wages when the Price Control Bill is debated in the House next week.
Milk Problems Discussed
Speakers at this: morning’s session included J. O. Clark, food and drug administrator for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and Mrs. Lewis Minion, home and community director of the Minnesota Farm Bureau. Mr. Clark discussed the milk problems of farmers and said: “Farmers today get more pleasure from doing the job well than doing | it haphazardly. : Today there is a good reason. for . producing high quality “cream. Creameries won't accept bad cream and farmers must realize this and make every effort for producing a. high-grade commodity.”
Committee Report Tomorrow Mrs. Minion outlined a woman’s
task in connection with Farm Bu-
reau work. Speaking for Farm Bureau ‘women, she pledged !loyal support. to The Farm Bureau and expressed their, allegiance to the broad program of the Bureau. This afternoon: the - convention
