' B—12 MANCHUKUD FIXES NEW IAR":F WAU' Ex-Governor of Virginia Duties on Chinese Goods to| Denies Field Statement Beccme Effective on Hog Lot Lacking. September 25. es Charge Farm of Roosevelt. Is Private Resort Challeng By the Associated Press. For the first time in the long history of China that country has been or- dered by the new independent state of Manchukuo to pay duties on products | coming from China proper into its former possession, Manchuria. ‘The Commerce Department was ad- vised today that officials of the “pres- | ent administration in Manchuria,” ef- fective beginning September 25, are to assess duties on products coming from China proper, including Chinese and | foreign goods. According to a radiogram from As- sistant Trade Commissioner Carl E. Christopherson at Mukden, considera- | tion will be given goods shipped from | foreign countries by Chmna proper if duty is paid in China. | Regarded as Logical Step. Shipments to Manchuria by Japan or | direct to Dairen will be subject only to | duty in Manchuria, the Gepartment was advised. No comment on the assessment was forthcoming from the department. However, in other government circles it ‘was said it was a logical step for Man- chukuo to take since it has declared itself to be an independent country. Manchukuo is the Japanese name for Manchuria. Of course, no record is available here as to what will be the value of China’s | imports into its former possession. For centuries the trade between China | proper and Manchuria has been on a | duty-free basis. | No record is available as to this| country’s trade with Manchuria. Ninety | per cent of Manchuria’s imports come | through Dairen. Manchuria’s total di- | rect foreign trade in 1929 amounted to_approximately $357.500,000 and in 1930, a vear of severe depression, to $225.000,000. United States Share Uncertain. In addition to direct trade, large quantities of foreign goods amounting to approximately 15 per cent, was im- | ported into Manchuria by Shanghai and other Chinese ports. It is impossible, the department said, | to determine the share of the total im- | ports into Manchuria that came from the United Staes, but, basing the per- centage upon figures of Dairen officials, said it probably amounted to 10 per cent. Most of the American activities are| centered around Harbin and the out- look for American trade there has been dimmed considerably by the events of the last year. Julian Arnold, com- mercial attache at Shanghai, cabled | the department that military activities in Manchuria, for the time being at| least, have disrupted seriously the eco- nomic life of this region. TINY CHILDREN COME T0 SCHOOL INTOXICATED Water in Hungagian Village's Only Well Dried Up and They Drank Wine. VIENNA —School teachers in the| Hungarian village of Lentihegy were shocked when their young puplls, some | of them only 5 or 6 years old, tottered | and ®taggered to their desks, began to ' bawl and shout, then joined hands and | reeled through the school grounds, danced and finally collapsed in a happy state of exhaustion. It seemed as if they were drunk. They were. ‘The village well, its only source of water supply, had dried up and the children drank the rich Tokay wine of the gistrict instead. Wine is cheaper than” water in some parts of Hungary and several cases have been reported recently of wine being used instead of ‘water to put out fires. NEW MAY0 BOOK DUE Author of “Mother India” Is In- vestigating Europe. ROME.—A book on European social conditions as sensational as her “Moth- er India” may come as a result of in- vestigations Katherine Mayo, American author, is conducting in England, | France, Germany and Italy. Miss Mayo will spend a week or 10 days in Rome | collecting material. Until she has all the material. Miss | * Mayo will not know exactly what line | the new book will take, she explained. “Mother India” was a result of an origi- | nal plan to write a book on public| health, only one chapter of which would | deal with India, she said. ‘ Marine Corps Orders I : Capt.

Roosevelt's Hyde Park farm has “no hog lot, but there are a polo ground and tennis court.” Davis' comment in a statement is- sued through the Democratic National Committee referred to a recent address by Field at Spencer, Iowa, and said: “There is no pseudo silo in the shape of a water tank and sunken gardens upon the place, as stated by Mr. Field. These are on an adjacent place owned by the family of the late J. R. Roosevelt, a kinsman.” Davis said he found at the Roosevelt home “a herd of Guernsey cattle, dairy and horse barns, poultry houses, a silo filled with corn ensilage, farm horses, | hogs and over 600 laying hens.” EASTERN POTENTATES | FROLIC AT BIARRITZ]| Magnificent Cars and Huge Suites of Sultan and Maharajah Stir Interest. BIARRITZ.—The magnificent cars and enormous suites of the Sultan of Morocco and the Maharajah of Raj- pipla, following so closely on the visit of the Prince of Wales and Prince George, have aroused much interest. “Come ‘and dine and bring 12 friends with you,” said the Maharajah to an Englishman friend the other day. The Englishman pointed out that 13 was an unlucky number. “Bring 20 friends,” said the Maharajah immediately. All these - distinguished visitors have had the effect of prolonging the Sum- mer season. ‘The Prince of Wales by his patronage has enormously increased the popularity of the Brick Top, though that was 1ardly necessary, since it is the one only dance haunt in Biarritz. It has a stone | looks out upon the sea. LEBRUN ON HOLIDAY, BUT DOESN’T REST “Official” Summer Vacation Inter- rupted by Visits of Paris Personages. PARIS.—President Lebrun, on his second and “official” Summer holiday, life only in a very limited sense. ! The Chateau of Rambouillet—the | “Chequers” of France—could offer to | a less important person as many natu- | ral joys as he could wish for, but it is well for M. Lebrun that he already has had a first and “intime” holiday as a Le-Haut in Lorraine, where he was | born. 1 There are the usual presidential; shooting parties in the Rambouillet Forest, to which leading deputies and Senators, foreign diplomats and distin- guished soldiers are invited. And, whether on land or water, he is under the constant care of a guard of specially chosen detectives. BRITISH WORKERS BACK Lancashire Cotton Mills Reopen Following Peace Pact Signing. MANCHESTER, England, September 28 ()—Work in the cotton mills oi Lancashire, which has been suspended for some time as a result of a textile workers’ strike, began generally to be resumed today following the signing of a peace pact yesterday. In Burnley, which was a storm cen- ter of the strike area, nearly all the milis resumed operation. The only dis- trict in which work was not begun again was around Nelson, where the weavers were holding out for further discussion of the settlement terms. Ea s e Clock Gate, which was erected dur- ing the opening, in 1802, of the West Indies docks, London's first strictly commercial docks, is being torn down.
