If the official diplomatic reports #hould show that the riot can be looked upon as a forerunner of real disorders in Shanghai, then the situation will take on an air of great gravity. The vast Chinese port has been regarded as & refuge for foreigners in the present troubled times. The United States, in common with all the other powers, has much at stake in the preserva- tion of the peace of Shanghal. Any outbreak of mob activity there is viewed here as an ominous sign that the moment is fast approaching when_foreign governments must de- cide finally whether they will employ force to protect their nationals.

Minister Max Murray, ordered back to Peking by Becretary Kellogg, because of the growing seriousness of the situation, robably is now. on his way from to his post, and an emergency force of American Marines stationed in Guam are under orders to leave moementarily for Manila in order to be nearer the trouble zone. i rone concentration of American and other foreign naval forces already 48 watching the situation at Shanghai and it is believed Great Britain and the other powers are, like the United Btates, taking steps to bring up reinforcements.

They .were content to rest on yester- day’s White House statement that the ‘Washington Government was trying faithfully to execute all of its treaties with China. The present chaotic condition ap- pears to be delaying consideration of any formal redefinition of American aims and purposes. Recently Mr. Kellogg contemplated publishing a memorandum on the subject, but he declined today to indicate when such & step might be expected. PARADE STARTS RIOT.

As reported the bill would set up a Federal farm board, which would use a Federal appropriation of $250, 000,000 to handle the surplus of wheat, corn, rice, cotton and swine. The Federal appropriation would he reimbursed by the collection of an equalization fée on sash commodity at the processing point. Opposition Ts Voiced. Describing the new McNary-Hau- gen bill -as “more objectionable and certainly more unconstitutional” than its predecessor of last Spring, a mi- nority report signed by three mem- bers of the House agricultural com- mittee was filed with the House today seeking instead the enactment of the Curtis-Crisp bill. The latter measure was held up as “a constitutional and constructive measure upon the only lines which our long examination of this question leads us to believe can prove successful.” The report was written by Repre- sentative Fort, Republican, New Jer- sey. Representatives Tichner, Repub- lican, Kansas, and Pratt, Republican, New York, added their signatures.

The method of selecting the Federal board to administer the McNary-Hau- gen plan also was assailed as uncon- stitutional because it tended to inter- fere with the President’s constitutional right to appoint Government officlals without advice except from the Sen- ate, The equalization fee was described as “clearly a tax,” no different from that levied by municipalities to pro- vide money for sinking funds.
