THE "RED" PERIL.
TELEGRAPH. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1930.
It is well, as we say, that due note should be taken of these hap- penings. They represént a very real danger, which will have to be met by all the ingenuity and efficiency of which competing producera and exporters are capable. By the same token, this impending trade conflict makes the work even of "Red" agitators look relatively unimportant, especially when we remember that the Soviet political system makes no` wide appeal to other peoples. The real "Red" peril may easily be what happens within the next five or ten years in Russia along industrial and agricultural lines.

It is interesting. to note that American experts have been help- ing the Russians to start this hig experiment. Mr. Thomas D. Camp- bell, a famous Montana grower. has been supervising the opera- tion of the farms, whilst other Americans have financed and built a huge factory at Stalingrad which is to produce 50,000 tractors a year. As a consequence, Russian wheat production is expected to soar up within the next few years. Bearing in mind what this implies, it is certain that Russia will have a huge export surplus of wheat. She will be able to dump it on the world markets at a price far below that which other growers can afford to take. In other words, she will undersell her competitors. Indeed, Mr. Campbell predicts, so far as the United States is con- cerned. that American growers will have to produce only enough grain for American needs-which would mean a tremendous decrease in American production. It will probably also be the same with other commodities.

ZIMIBALIST IN · THE COLONY.
GIVES RECITAL HERE TO-MORROW.
Efrem Zimbalist, the master violinist, together with his ac- companist, Harry Kaufman, ar- rived in the Colony this morning from Manila by the Empresa of Canada. Zimbalist will appear in one recital only at the Theatre Royal to-morrow night. The box- office plans for the recital are on view at Moutrie's.
Zimbalist,
who is A great favourite with Eastern audiences, has the distinction of being the first artist ever re-engaged for a fourth, or even a third tour. The Just time he was in the East was in the course of a world tour, which opened in the spring of 1927 and ended fifteen months later, during which time Mr. Zimbalist travelled over 50,000 miles and played in Australia, New Zealand, Java, India, China, Japan, Hawaii and throughout Europe. His present short engagement, under the management of Mr. Strok, in the Orient is but the forerunner of another circuit of the globe.
Aside from his fame as a high ranking violinist, Zimbalist is a composer of rare ability and has several well-known compositione to his credit.
The programme for to-morrow night will include Achron's "Suite Bizarre" which will be played for the first time in Hongkong. The
