Business to Affect Politics Economic Depression Bound to Leave Its Mark on History of Period PLAN FOUR MAJOR EVENT Disarmament, War Debts and Economic Parleys and Trial of League Loom By MILTON BRONNER ‘The fourth year‘in an era of world- wide depression and unrest, 1933 dawns as a year of tremendous po- tentialities in world history in which economic considerations will dictate the political courses of nations. Four major events, three of which are designed to aid in economic re+ covery, are on the calendar. They ere: ‘World Economic and Monetary Con- ference, due to be held in London. Statesmen from many nations will discuss the stabilization of exchange, the lowering of trade barriers and other mutual attempts to bring about improvement. Disarmament Conference, by repre- sentatives of 60 nations meeting under League of Nations auspices at Geneva. ‘Though last summer's sessions proved barren of real results, higher hopes are held now in view of suggestions for trading arms reduction for war debt revision or other economic con- siderations. War Debt Revision Conferences, probably to be held at Washington. General economic conditions, plus Germany's refusal to pay any more reparations, have led many to believe that the United States must reduce war debts owed by European nations as a step toward,world recovery. League of Nations on Trial, as the result of Japan’s defiance by its seiz- ‘ure of Chinese Manchuria and estab- lishment of the dummy “republic” of Manchoukuo there. Whether the Jeague can compel observance of sol- emn treaties is the issue. Economic, disarmament and war debt conferences doubtless will not be held until after President-elect Roose- velt takes office, since his policies will govern the United States’ course with regard to each. A resume of important world news 4n 1932, including many developments which led up to this program for 1933, follows. JAPAN AND CHINA Determined to smash a costly Chi- nese boycott resulting from Japan’s conquests in Manchuria (which start- ed in September, 1931) the Japanese began bombardment of Shanghai on Jan. 28, in defiance of world opinion. ‘Weeks of fierce fighting were ended by a truce on May 4, which promised abandonment of the boycott. Japanese military leaders on Feb. 28 set up the dummy “republic” of Manchoukuo in China's richest agri- cultural and mineral area. On Sept. 29, Japan formally Man- choukuo as an “independent republic.’ No other nation has done s0. After months of investigation & League of Nations committee, headed by Lord Lytton of England, returned @ report indicting Japan for aggres- sion, recommended it disgorge Man- choukuo, Japan, claiming the inva- sion was @ defensive move, threatens to resign from the league. Japanese militarists are in complete control, a series of assassinations of their political enemies having reduced the government to a mere tool of the army. BRITISH EMPIRE ‘With the pound at lowest levels in modern history, trade at low ebb, un- employment widespread, the dole & staggering burden and trouble at home and abroad, the British empire experienced a zie 1932, Neverthe- Jess, it paid its $95,000,000 war debt instalment to the United States on Dec. 15.

During the six-year period, 783,- 269 trees were distributed to 1,059 co- operators, he said, pointing put that these figures are for demonstration plantings and do not include approxi- mately 150,000 trees sent to individual farmers, schools, churches, and public parks. A total of 449 plantings have in| been approved for 1933. January, Mussolini continued to sug- gest general war debt cancellation in Europe and presentation of a united debt cancellation front to the United States. Italy paid its Dec. 15 war debt instalment to Washington, RUSSIA ove boss. Hy Ruse a ’s many millions, observed his 10th’ anniversary as gen- eral.secretary of the Communist party. On Nov. 15, the 15th anniversary of the revolution was celebrated as thou- sands of Red soldiers paraded past Lenin's tomb in Moscow's Red Square. The year marks the close of Rus- sia’s “five-year plan,” which, although it has fallen short in many lines. has ae: the framework of a socialist or- iv. Indicative was the dedication of the Great Dnieprostroy dam on Oct. 10. Built by American engineers, it is the largest power project in the world and eventually will supply electricity to an area of 70,000 square miles with a Population of 70,000,000. Despite in- dustrial progress, living conditions in Russia grew worse. SPAIN The Spanish republic continued the steady progress it has been maxing since King Alfonso was overthrown in 1931. Outstanding achievements have included one of the most liberal con- stitutions in the world and sweeping aa that split up vast feudal In August, General Jose Sanjurjo attempted an unsanctioned monarchist revolt. Presidertt Zamora commuted Sanjurjo’s death sentence. SOUTH AMERICA Economic conditions in South Amer- ican republics started off in 1932 with default of 000,000 in bonds owned by United 8 investors, and grew worse as the year advanced. Brazil, continuing from early July un- til October, closing the great coffee Port of Santos. Chile, for 99 years a democratic republic, went socialistic after a bloodless revolt in June and since has had six revolt governments. Though no formal declaration of war has been made, Bolivia and Para- guay have been fighting since July in the swampy Gran Chaco. Casual- ties are estimated up to 5000.

New cooperators in the demonstra- tion windbreaks placed by the state nursery have steadily and consistently increased from 23 in 1927 to 221 in 1932, Taylor reported. A total of 19,- 400 trees were planted in demonstra- tion windbreaks during 1927. A steady increase has been noted since as fol- lows: 1928—46,187; — 1929—155,000; 1930—170,000; 1931—185,682; 1932— 207,000. “It is a fine tribute to the persever- ance of our farmers that they have continued to grow trees, despite hard times, drought, grasshoppers, rabbits and a dozen other discouragements,” Taylor declared, FEDERAL STATION HAS BEEN TREE-GENEROUS Since the first shipment of shelter- belt trees was made from the U. 8. Northern Great Plains Field station jat Mandan in 1917, the station has dis- tributed a total of 4,537,101 trees of various kinds to experiment stations and farmers in five states, John M. Stevens, superintendent, said Friday. The Bottineau forestry work, gov- ernment officials at Mandan said, is conducted by the state and nation co- operatively under the Clark-McNary act, a measure passed by congress to provide means whereby farmers de- siring windbreaks and shelterbelts could procure them at a minimum cost and to provide a means for tree dis- tribution which is not available under the statutes creating such units as the field station at Mandan. ‘The field station annually furnishes trees to many cooperators, Stevens said. However, he added, the Mandan station is limited to five demonstra- tion and experimental plots in each county each year. Nursery men reap as much benefit from these experi- ments as do the farmers, he said. Stevens explained that the Mandan station cannot furnish trees to all of North Dakota as does Bottineau, the line of the eastern limits being be- tween Jamestown and Valley City. The station supplies farmers in Mon- tana, Wyoming, South Dakota and part of the-states-of North Dakota and Nebraska, and all of the state and government experiment stations in the five states. Of the more than four a:q! a half million trees shipped since 1917, Stev- ens said 917,925 have gone to experi. ment stations in thé four states while North Dakota farmers have received 1,001,991; Montana farmers 1,653,975, South Dakota 629,994, and Wyoming 293,266.

In August, Britain at- tempted to force acceptance of its 80- lution for apportioning the ballot, de- nying ceftain rights to India’s 60,000,- 000 “untouchables.” Gandhi emerged as their champion and, in September, smashed this arrangement with a six- day “hunger strike.” Britain, fearing to let Gandhi die, capitulated.

Dec. 30.—(P)— “Baby Doe” Tabor, once beautiful wife of H. A. W. Tabor, the Bonanza king, holds true to promise to her husband never to relinquish possession of the Matchless mine. ‘Assured by mining experts there is @ vein of rich gold still uncovered in the mine which startled the world with its output of silver in the days when the white metal was valuable, the aged woman guards it with a dou- ble-barreled shotgun. She holds pos- session through the right of home- stead, although a mortgage on the thine was foreclosed several years ago. Under Colorado law mortgages cannot take the property as long as Mrs. Ta- bor remains in possession. ‘Try to Burn Her Out “Two attempts have been made to burn me out,” said Mrs. Tabor. “Some person or persons came stealthily upon my property during the night and set fire to some of the outbuildings in the hope of driving me out. ‘There are many who doubt this statement, but since the last fire I have taken every precaution. I am prepared. From sunset to sunrise I sit in an obscure hiding place in my home wait- ing for them to repeat their offense. “My husband’s last words and re- quest before he died was that the title to the Matchless mine should never leave my name. He said the mine con- tained more wealth in it than had ever been taken out. “During the mine's operations in the past the men erected a huge bulk- head which they claimed was for the purpose of eliminating a cave-in, but I know better. It was placed there to keep prying eyes from discovering a great sulphite vein which had not been uncovered. Samples had been taken and proved to be gold bearing. the Society of American Bacteriolo- gists Friday by Lawrence H. James and H. H. Hull. HEART IL LEADING N.D.
