CORRESPONDENCE

The Coal Mining Dispute

(To The Editor,

Hongkong Telegraph}

Washington, Jan. 10. President Roosevelt, talking before press representatives to-day, declared: we must avold any national agricul tural polley that would result in shipping our soil fertility to foreign landa."

He said he desires production con- trol instead of export subsidies, for he feared that subsidies would result in the seeding of land unt for cult vation.

The President declared he intended to seek legislation enabling the re- tention of soil fertility and simul- taneously stabilising farm prices. he The cultivation of grazing land,, want on, had resulted in vast damage to the nation's resources and had created the birth-place of the terrible duat

which stornis

occasionally smothered the Middle West.

At the same time, Mr. Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of th Interior, was speaking to farmer leaders, in- dieating that the leasing or retire: ment of farm lands under the soil conservation programme would prob ably replace the, A.A.A. curtallment.

Me, Wallace outanakenly expressed the fear that 10.000.000 bales of cotton and 50.800.one hushels of com would be the surplus of these two

new pro crops this year unless s ramme could be devised.

"We do not want to plough the soil which blows away, or give our crous, Bway merely to satisfy the interests Drafting from the volume of produc- tion."

NAVAL PARLEY

CRISIS

RUSSIA & GERMANY

MAY COME IN

London, Jan 10. The Five Pawor Naval Conference is likely shortly to become a Six Power Conference by the process of Japan's withdrawal and the inclusion of Ger- many and Russia.

The Japanese withdrawal is now ac copted as a fact, though the date of her withdrawal is uncertain As the Japanese delegates for reasons of prestige will choose their own time, which will not be delayed beyond a few days.

The British have agreed to mcot the Japanese wishes to the extent of Inviting the Conference on Monday to hear a statement from Admiral Nagano, advocating the common upper mit, and Admiral Nagano will be invited to make particular reference to the previously mentioned slon regarding, "adjustments accord- ing to invulnerability."

conces-

Upon the attitude of the other dele- gations depends whether this phase will extend beyond Monday, but a of the delegations reveals canvass that it will bo terminated by a majority pronouncement against the common upper limit,

The Japanese will doubtless with draw and the Conference will have to erect a new framework.

There is also a nucleus agreement to diminish the size of the largest cruisers.

In conclusion there have been some great mistakes made on both sides bad management on the part of the owners and bad leadership on the men's side. I think, though, that anyone who has tried to follow the course of events since the war will agree that the onus is on the mine owners.
