UPTURN REVEALED | BY TRADE REPORTS Industry and Railroads Shar- ing More Than Seasonal Rise. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, May 6—The mercury in America’s business barometer rose today under impetus of favorable news from oast. ""fin‘." factory whistles playing 8 tune of good times, the railroads finding business where none had been for months, farm prices welling and em- ployment increasing. There were pre- dictions from everywhere that “were on the way.” Some of the increase was seasonal, but far from all of it. From the great steel centers of ‘Youngstown, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Gary and Cleveland there were reports of increased operations, orders piling up. The mills were turning out three times as much steel as a few months ago, with predictions that operations in the Youngstown area would reach 41 per cent of capacity next week. The reason: Demand for finished steel at newly humming factories. Railroad car loadings, another sel- dom failing business indicator, took the sharpest jump of the year during the | week of April 29, the American Rali-| way Association reported. Car Loadings Gain. the railroads needed 42,706 more cars than were used in the previous week: | | | 1 | | | be held May 10-13. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Some of the cars were loaded with beer, others with shoes, clothing and foodstuffs, that show the financial condition of the average American home. Every class of freight contributed to the upturn grain, lumber, steel, coal and general merchandise. For the farmer, the close of the day’s markets found wheat up virtual- 1y 30 cents from a few weeks ago, with dollar wheat talked of on the Board of Trade, and other grains moving along in sympathy. From the Nation's cheese capital at Plymouth, Wis., came quota- tions of cheese prices at 113 cents & pound, up 3's cents from March 10. Business leaders in several INstances, o,.. gominated by the Soclalist party, announced their employes would share in any new prosperity. Announce Pay Boosts. Employers announcing salary boosts of from 10 per cent to “back to nor- mal” were the American Store Equip- ment _Corporation of Detroit, Muskegon and New York, Jacobson & Sons and the Simplicity Pattern Co., both of New York.

FORD UNCONCERNED IN LINCOLN PURCHASE Believes “Sympathy” Guided T ing Over of Plant at Re- ceiver's Sale. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 6—Henry Ford knew little about the purchase of the Lincoln Co. for $8,000,000 by the Ford Motor Co.. because he was inter- ested only in the fact that his son Edsel wished to make the purchase, the automobile magnate testified in a dam- age suit. His testimony was taken in Detroit and was made public when it was filed today with the prothonotary of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, where the suit was brought. Purchase of the Lincoln plant at a receiver’s sale was “not as an invest- ment,” Ford said. He added it was “a matter of sym- pathy, I guess,” not for the creditors or stockholders, but “purely and simply for the Lelands.” The late Henry Leland was founder of the Lincoln Co. Ford and his son were called as wit- nesses in the suit of the Sweetin Auto- mobile Co. of Philadelphia, now in re- ceivership, against the Ford Co. for $227,000. The Sweetin Co. held the Lincoln Agency for Philadelphia and contends that the Ford Co. took over their sales agency agreement on purchasing the Lincoln concern.

Ho Declares Japanese Claims of Provocative Actions Untrue. BY REGINALD SWEETLAND. PEIPING, Ghina, May 6—"China is in no position to attack and, for the Japanese to say that we are is untrue. At the same time, Japan is concen- trating 10,000 of its own troops at Chengteh, capital of Jehol Province, as well as Nantienmen outside Kupeikow, north of Peiping.” declared China's war minister, Gen. Ho Yin-Ching, in an interview today. “The Japanese,” continued Gen. Ho, “are using the wrong kind of reasoning, but the theme is the same. They say that we are provoking them to action. This is untrue. We are compelled to keep the peace and restore order in the triangular area between Lwanchow and Shanhaikwan, which the Japanese recently evacuated, but we have only 500 troops there. Holds Reasoning Futile. “Since that is Chinese territory, we are bound to protect our interests as well as foreign interests, which are heavy there. You cannot reason with the Japanese. They desire to come to Peiping and Tientsin, but right now they are hesitating to do so.” “Any new attack,” stated Gen. Ho, “will come through Kupeikow. This is more economical for the Japanese and will not involve foreign interests, as would be the case should they follow the Pieping-Mukden Railroad through Chinwangtao and Tientsin. I am con- vinced that the Japanese intend to make trouble in this area, but speaking frank- ly, China is not in a position to attack.” lain! the present Japanese hesi- tation, he feels that they are waiting to see if they can gain something at the impending Washington conference. Granted this, they may abandon the North China campaign. “The Japanese have unlimited ambi- tions and are not content with Man- churia and Jehol Province.” Gen. Ho sald “they recently held a conference at Chengteh with Mongolian princes, promising them assistance in establish- ing their own government.” Denies Charhar Invasion. Gen. Ho denied that the Japanese | were invading Charhar Province, saying that the Japanese financed and armed Chinese troops, former volunteers, but now bandits, who attacked Dolonor. This, he said, the Japanese did with| the double purpose of creating the im- pression that the Chinese were engaged | in a new civil war and, at the same time, clearing undesirable troops from Jehol. “In case of necessity Nanking will send more troops here,” he continued “Danger today is not imminent, though I am convinced that the Japanese want to start trouble here. If they think they can force China to negotiate, they are mistaken. If they burn the whole of China to ashes, we will not recognize | Manchukuo.” | Questioned as to the significance of the creation of the Peiping Political | Affairs Committee headed by Huang Fu, former Chinese premier, who is Japanese educated, Gen. Ho admitted | that there had been opposition to Kuo- | mintang (Chinese ruling party) depa- | tism by the northerners, but Huang Fu was accepted by both sides and is ex- pected to eradicate the differences. Besides, Gen. Ho said Nanking had agreed that the forthcoming conference, July 1, would be open to all parties and he felt that criticism of the Kuomin- Huang Fu's first callers in Shanghai after his acceptance of the northern post was Japanese Minister Arika Ariyoshi.
