...extending for two more years the International Wheat Agreement (drawn up in 1933 to limit wheat production and export), the 25 delegates from 16 nations* did nothing last week except view the outlook with much alarm. Conference experts figured that the world harvest, excluding the Soviet Union, China and Manchukuo, would total 4,205,000,000 bu., 216,000,000 bu. above the all-time record set in 1928. Especially ominous was the prospect for the U. S. Once a major wheat exporter (200,000,000 bu.), the U. S. last year sold only 100,000,000 bu. abroad. This...
...support a Korean Presbyterian Church with 100,000 members. The Japanese Government feels less sure of Koreans than it does of Japanese, worries more about their exposure to Occidental influences. Increasingly in the past five years, beginning when Shinto services were held for soldiers dead in China and Manchukuo, the Government has put pressure upon Korean Christians to join in what it calls "patriotic" ceremonies at Shinto shrines.

Yominri, the third largest Tokyo paper, spends much time slyly baiting Japan's dominant militarist clique, is considered radical by the Militarists...
...will get paralyzed currency exchanges going again. Last week the currency situation was such a desperate muddle that a few days after the native dollar was quoted at 330 per $100 U. S. it was being quoted at 450-a catastrophic fall. Japan's puppet Chinese regimes in Manchukuo, Peking and Nanking will now cooperate in striving to make Japanese-controlled China's present economic chaos a trifle less chaotic, but the Japanese efforts will probably meet smart sabotage from Hankow's T. V. Soong, "China's Smartest Banker...
...Japanese crackup, thinks Author Price, is wishful thinking. According to his observation, the practical Chinese accept Japanese rule far more willingly than is supposed. In Manchuria, where he accompanied a punitive expedition against "bandits," he found a stable government and currency, intensive beginnings of mass education ("strongly pro-Manchukuo but anti-nobody"), regeneration of former "bandits" by means of seed loans, roads, vocational guidance...
