North Dakota’s ‘Oldest Newspaper ESTABLISHED 1873 TOLD EXPORTS FROM RUSSIA WILL CEASE Soviet Will Stop Practice of Dumping Grain on World Market BIGGER DEMAND FORECAST Canada and U. S. to Reap Big Benefit as Argentine Crop Is Short Toronto, Ont., Nov. 2.—(The Cana- dian Press)—The Toronto Globe Monday pubishes a copyrighted cable from its European correspondent, which is, in part, as follows: “It can now be said quite definite- Jy that the Soviet Union will export no wheat this year or next. “This statement was made to me ‘by M. Dovgalevsky, Soviet ambassa- dor to France. The ambassador add- ed that the decision to discontinue the policy of wheat dumping by his country was made following the signing of a new trade agreement with France. “As the Soviet Union exported a full 110,000,000 bushels last year, and the wheat crop in other European countries is decidedly of low grade this year, the announced change in the Soviet’s policy ought to result in considerable benefit to Canada, for| the reduction of the wheat supply thereby obtained will be more than sufficient to absorb the heavy carry- over shown at the close of the last crop year in the Dominion. See Export Increase “as a result of Russia’s proposed inactivity en the one hand, and the demands of China on the other,| wheat exports are most likely to be increased by some 250,000,000 bushels. ‘This means that total exports from the four great wheat-producing coun- ‘tries—Argentina, United States, Can- ada and Australia—will exceed 900,- 000,000. In Australia and the Argen- tine the wheat crop will be consider-| ably lower, owing to bad weather, and the appearance of destructive para- sites. All these factors improve Can- ada’s situation, and make it more than likely that the Canadian crop of this year and the carry-over of last will be disposed of at a good premi- um, “M. Dovgalevsky, who was an agri- cultural engineer under the Czarist regime in Russia, and one of the big- gest private wheat exporters in the ‘Ukraine in the old days, received me in his office at the embassy. The ambassador launchel at once into an explanatory declaration of Rus- sia’s dumping policy in the past. union, he said, had not taken re- course to dumping as a sort of dia- bolic plan to unbalance or wreck the economic system of other countries. It had been a measure of self-de- fense. “Russia needed machinery and raw materials to build up her in- dustrial system anl few credits could be obtained outside. She had been compelled, therefore, to undersell in the world markets in order to estab- lish credits for the buying of the material she needed.” SOUTHWEST THRILLED BY BETTER PROSPECT Kansas City, Nov. 2—(#)—The southwest is thrilled by the rise of prices for two of the principal prod- | ucts of its prairie soil, crude oil and wheat. A state of mind conductive to loosening of purse-strings has result- ed from an advance of 40 per cent in ‘wheat quotations in the last month and an increase to 85. cents a barrel for top grade oll. The value of the grain toa nie discouraged farmers stored or on the last harvest time in rebellion st quotations as low as 25 cents @ bushel has risen to. the highest levels of the season. July wheat commanded 591s cents a bushe! in Kansas City and 66% cents in Chi- cago at the close of business Satur- day. Kansas City board of trade, said wheat was showing the way to other commodities with “impressive leader- ship.” Admits Murder of Research Worker, ‘Washington, Nov. 2—(#)—The jus- tice department announced Monday) @ confession -has been obtained from Golney Seymour, young Apache In- dian, that he killed Miss Henrietta Schmerler on the White river Indian reservation in Arizona last July.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 2.—(?)—As the state speeded plans to bring Winnie Ruth Judd to triai on a murder charge within the next 60 days, Sheriff R.

Improvement in the industrial and. banking situation was disclosed in every major area. In some the ac- celeration was marked, while in other zones a strong, confident undertone was found. In New England, official reports showed some indications of a busi- ness upturn and much of the in- dustrial activity that normally per- vades that region. The boot and shoe and hat industries have averaged considerably better than last year. Decided signs of stimulation were recorded in the south Atlantic tobac- co and cotton areas. Florida hotel operators reported prospects of a season. In the middle states, industrial operations received a quickening mes- sage with the weekly statement of the magazine, Steel, which reports that automotive buying is coming along, structural steel requirements are gaining moderately, rail orders stand fairly high. Steel works opcr-| ations are steadier and softness in raw materials prices is more pro- nounced. 4 ‘The review forecast some four-day weeks among automobile manufac- turers, but notes gains in orders and an average stepping up of production in the automotive list. ‘These reports tallied with others from the western states where util- ities, crude oil, and wheat had launched themselves upon a fairly actives upward trend. Dollar wheat’ or better was believed by Chicago ex- perts to be in sight, after a general advance of 37 per cent in four weeks, AGOS MAYOR SEEK NOMINATION ~ OFWETDEMOCRAT Calls on Party to Name Candi- date Strongly Opposed to Prohibition New York; Nov. 2—(#)—Anton J- Cermak, the militantly anti-prohibi- tion mayor of Chicago, called upon the Democratic party Monday to go into next year’s presidential cam- paign with a candidate who is “thor- oughly wet.” Tiinots Democracy, he insisted, will demand an “out-and-out wet plat- form, and a candidate as wet as the plank he stands on.” He expressed the further opinion Democracy should pick a candidate “of the Al Smith “4 eae Cermak said Tllinois’ 58 con- vention votes would be given to U. 8. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, who, he said, meets all the require- ments of an “ultra-wet” candidate. He denied he had come to New York as-a peacemaker between for- mer Governor Alfred E. Smith and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. His! nouncement for a “thoroughly wet” presidential candidate was in- terpreted by some of his interview- ers as a stroke against the candi- dacy of Gov. Roosevelt; but Mayor Cermak answered directly questions on this point by saying: “Well, if Roosevelt was wet enough for Al Smith and wet enough to be elected governor of New York, it is! quite likely he would be wet enough to suit the wets of Illinois.” The Chicago mayor expressed the opinion there would be enough votes en bloc to prevent any candidate's running away with the nomination until he had met the test on prohibi- tion. Asked to name the states that could be counted on to vote together as. wets, in addition to Illinois, New Jersey and possibly Massachusetts, Mayor Cermak said: “I don’t want to name them, but; there will be enough votes. I think Tammany—.” He did not finish the sentence. Mayor’ Cermak will remain in New York until Wednesday. He hopes to confer with Gov. Roosevelt and Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, as well as former Governor Smith. PRANKSTER IS SLAIN Rolla. Kas.

S. Sends Observer Tokyo, Nov. troops of occupation pushed farther west and north in Manchuria and mongolia Monday while persistent re- j Ports that China had entered into a secret agreement with Moscow for Russian assistance were considered by thesJapanese cabinet. The American government also was reported to have interested itself in| the conflicting reports of Russian mobilization along the Siberian-Man- churian borders and to have sent) George Hanson, its consul general at Harbin, to northern Manchuria to in- vestigate. Reports of troop movements in- dicated the Japanese were edging farther into the Chinese territory and closer to the Russian sphere of in- fluence in northern Manchuria, but had not reached territory in which Moscow is primarily interested. Official circles here made it clear that the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Kirin, South Central Manchuria, was not an indication of Tokyo's willingness to abide by the League of Nations’ desire for evacua- tion of the occupied district by Nov- ember 16. Both the foreign and war offices explained conditions at Kirin had become more or less stabilized and that, therefore, it was decided to transfer 600 soldiers, some to Ssuping- kai, Manchuria, and others to Taonan and Chenchiatun, Mongolia, just across the Manchurian line. About 600 troops will remain at Kirin to protect Japanese interests. It. was explained that Japan's stand regarding evacuation of Chin- ese territory was the same as in the beginning. From War Minister Minami the cabinet heard a report based on ru- mors that Russia was giving assist- ance to the Chinese, not only in arms and ammunition but also in moral support. The vernacular press continued to publish rumors saying the Russians) were massing troops at Pogranich- naya and Manchuli, respectively on the eastern and western boundaries: oe Manchuria, but in Russian terri- ry. Details of the alleged rapproche- ment, supposedly signed at Manchull, also were published the newspa- pers. The Russians allegedly agreed) to provide the Chinese Heilumekiang’ army, operating in northern Man- churia, with substantial aid. A dispatch from Mukden to the! Rengo news agency said General’ Ling Yin-Ching, rebel, all his stuff and many soldiers were captured by troops of Governor Chang Hsueh- Liang of Manchuria near Panshanh- sien. a A Harbin dispatch ‘said Hanson will spend several days at Tsitsihar, later proceedings to Hailar and possibly Manchull. ea QUAKE SHAKES JAPAN Tokyo, Qov. 2+<P)—A series of “rather severe” earthquakes shook the Island of Shikoku and Kyushiu Mon- day evening.

Register, Bur- leigh county state's attorney. Four men were arrested in the raids. Harry Gilman, South Second St., and Martin Rosenberg, 911 Sweet St., were in the Burleigh county jail Monday in leu of bonds while Oscar Schneider, | South Fourteenth St., and Oscar Paul- son, South Fifteenth St., were at li- berty on their own recognizance. Only one of the four has had a for- mal preliminary hearing, Paulson hav- ing waived the hearing before Justice of the Peace A. E. Shipp, who bound him over for trial in district court. The other three will have their hear- ings before Shipp, Register said. Bonds for Gilman were set at $500 while Rosenberg was unable to fur- nish his $1,000 bonds. All are charged with engaging in the liquor traffic. Rosenberg faces two other similar charges at the next term, having been bound over twice before, the state’s attorney said. A total of 118 quarts of alleged beer was seized in the nberg raid while the Schneider place is alleged to have yielded 188 quarts of alleged beer and about 25 gallons of mash. Only 18 quarts of alleged beer was confiscat- ed at the Gilman home while the of- ficials secured seven quarts of alleged beer in the Paulson home.

BiG NAVY MEN AND PLACED UNDER FIRE ministration Is Conducting Two-Sided Fight in Sea- Defense Argument Ad Washington, Nov. 2—(7)—The strange situation of President Hoov- er battling openly with a militant big Navy organization while a cabinet officer struck out at a pacifist found- ation Monday swirled about the navy. The president was working toward @ showdown with the Navy league, and particularly its president, Wil- lam H. Gardiner, who described him as showing “abysmal ignorance” of naval matters. Secretary Adams charged the world peace foundation with interpreting national defense statistics “in a man- ner inimical to the United States and in a manner favorable to the national defense interests of foreign pcwers.” The bitter dispute between Hoover; and the Navy league entered its sec- ond week with Gardiner lacking the full support of his membership. Henry Breckinridge, a. former president of the league and a Democratic ‘assist- ant secretary of war under Woodrow Wilson, Sunddy broke ranks. Referring to the league's charges that President Hoover lacked knowl- edge of naval matters and was at- tempting to “starve” the sea serv- ice, Breckinridge said: “I desire to dissociate myself from so much of the statement as speaks, with disrespect of the president of the United States.” His terse statement, the first pub- lic sign of disagreement in the league membership with its president, broke the temporary lull in the controversy with Hoover. The chief executive is awaiting a roster of the league before naming a committee to investigate its charges against his naval policies. He has already branded the accusations as “untruths and distortions of fact” and warned Gardiner he would ex- pect a correction and an apology at the conclusion of the inquiry. Sev- eral members of the league are to be named to the inquiry committee. Osjord Assisting in Slope Murder Probe (Tribune Special Service) Medora, N. D., Nov. 2.—Gunder K.
